40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R04-OAR-2013-0223; FRL-9813-7]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Georgia; State
Implementation Plan Miscellaneous Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing changes to the Georgia State Implementation
Plan (SIP) submitted by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division
to EPA in four separate SIP submittals dated September 15, 2008, August
30, 2010 (two submittals), and December 15, 2011. In the portions of
the submittals being approved today, the SIP revisions update the
Georgia SIP to reflect EPA's current national ambient air quality
standards for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, lead, and
particulate matter found in the Code of Federal Regulations. In the
Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the
State's implementation plan 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in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.
