40 CFR Part 62

[GA-37-9811b; FRL-6003-9]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants: Georgia

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the Section 111(d) and 129 State Plan 
submitted by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the 
State of Georgia on November 13, 1997, for implementing and enforcing 
the Emissions Guidelines applicable to existing Municipal Waste 
Combustors with capacity to combust more than 250 tons per day of 
municipal solid waste. The Plan was submitted by the Georgia DNR to 
satisfy certain Federal Clean Air Act requirements. In the Final Rules 
Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the Georgia State 
Plan submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because 
the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates 
that it will not receive any significant, material, and adverse 
comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the 
direct final rule and incorporated by reference herein. If no 
significant, material, and adverse comments are received in response to 
this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to 
this proposed rule. 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 action.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
June 18, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Scott Martin at the 
EPA Region Office listed. 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.
