ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R04-OAR-2009-0303(b); FRL-8936-1]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; South
Carolina; Transportation Conformity Memorandum of Agreement Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the South Carolina
State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on November 28, 2008, through
the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. This
revision consists of transportation conformity criteria and procedures
related to interagency consultation and enforceability of certain
transportation-related control measures and mitigation measures. The
intended effect is to update the transportation conformity criteria and
procedures in the South Carolina SIP.
    In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is
approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal
and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the
approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments
are received in response to this rule, no further activity is
contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule
will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in
a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not
institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties
interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before August 27, 2009.
