Air Quality Designations; NC:
Redesignation of the Brunswick County 2010 Sulfur Dioxide Unclassifiable Area Environmental Protection Agency EPA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:

The Environmental Protection Agency EPA is proposing to approve a submission by the State of North Carolina, through the Department of Air Quality DAQ, on April 23, 2021, to redesignate the Brunswick County, North Carolina, unclassifiable area hereinafter referred to as the Brunswick County Area or Area to attainment/unclassifiable for the 2010
1-hour primary sulfur dioxide SO2
national ambient air quality standard hereinafter referred to as the 2010 SO2
1-hour NAAQS. Because EPA now has sufficient information to determine that the Brunswick County Area is attaining the 2010 1-hour SO2 national ambient air quality standards NAAQS, the Agency is proposing to approve the States redesignation request, thereby redesignating the Area from unclassifiable to attainment/
unclassifiable for the 2010 1-hour SO2
NAAQS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background The Clean Air Act CAA or Act establishes a process for air quality management through the establishment and implementation of the NAAQS. On June 2, 2010, EPA revised the primary SO2 NAAQS, establishing a new 1-hour SO2 standard of 75 parts per billion ppb. See 75 FR 35520 June 22, 2010.1
After the promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS, EPA is required to designate all areas of the country pursuant to section 107d12 of the CAA. For the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS, designations were based on EPAs application of the nationwide analytical approach to, and technical assessment of, the weight of evidence for each area, including but not limited to available air quality monitoring data and air quality modeling results. In advance of designating the Brunswick County Area, EPA issued updated designations guidance through a March 20, 2015, memorandum from Stephen D. Page, Director, U.S. EPA, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, to Regional Air Division Directors, U.S. EPA Regions 110, titled Updated Guidance for Area Designations for the 2010 Primary Sulfur Dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard. This document contains the factors that EPA evaluated in determining the appropriate designations and associated boundaries when designating the Brunswick County Area, including: 1 Air quality characterization via ambient monitoring or dispersion modeling results; 2
emissions-related data; 3 meteorology;
4 geography and topography; and 5
1 On February 25, 2019 effective April 17, 2019, EPA issued a decision to retain the existing NAAQS
for SO2. See 84 FR 9866 March 18, 2019.
