ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 62
[GA-37-9819b; FRL -6143-6]
Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated
Facilities and Pollutants: Georgia
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is approving a revision to the Georgia State
Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision was to incorporate the Post
1996 Rate-of-progress Plan (9 percent plan) submitted by the State of
Georgia through the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) on
November 15, 1993, and amended on June 17, 1996, into the SIP.
Supplemental information was submitted on April 14, 1988. This
submittal was made to meet the reasonable further progress requirements
of section 182(c)(2) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA).
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 published elsewhere
in todays Federal Register. If no significant, material, and adverse
comments are received 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 must be received in writing by September 24, 1998.
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.
