Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; South
Carolina: Revisions to State Implementation Plan
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve several revisions to the South
Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted by the South
Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) on
April 13, 2005, and October 24, 2005. Both revisions include
modifications to South Carolina's Regulation 61-62.1 ``Definitions and
General Requirements.'' In the April 13, 2005, submission, Regulation
61-62.1 is being amended to be consistent with the new Federal
emissions reporting requirements, referred to as the Consolidated
Emissions Reporting Rule (CERR), and to streamline the existing
emissions inventory requirements. SC DHEC is taking an action that is
consistent with the final rule, published on June 10, 2002 (67 FR
39602).
The October 24, 2005 submittal revises the definition of Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOC). The revision adds several compounds to the
list of compounds excluded from the definition of VOC on the basis that
they make a negligible contribution to ozone formation, and similarly
removes several compounds from the definition of VOC.
This action is being taken pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air
Act (CAA).
