[GA-34-9902b; FRL-6227-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Georgia: 
Approval of Revisions to the Georgia State Implementation Plan; Vehicle 
Inspection/Maintenance Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the enhanced Inspection/
Maintenance (I/M) program for the State of Georgia. The program had 
initially been given conditional interim approval under the terms of 
section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and section 348 of the National 
Highway Systems Designation Act (NHSDA), as noted in EPA's final 
conditional interim rule action in the August 11, 1997, Federal 
Register. Due to delays in implementing Phase 2 of the program, the 
Georgia enhanced I/M program had been disapproved on March 11, 1998, 
which triggered an eighteen month clock prior to the imposition of 
sanctions. This proposed approval action also would serve to stop the 
sanctions clock.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before March 1, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Scott Martin at the 
EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant to 
this proposed rule are available for public inspection during normal 
business hours at the following locations. The interested persons 
wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment with the 
appropriate office at least 24 hours before the day of the visit.
