40 CFR Part 60

[FRL-5655-2]


Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources; Supplemental 
Delegation of Authority to the State of Georgia

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Delegation of authority.

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

SUMMARY: On June 17, 1996, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, 
Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD) requested that EPA delegate 
authority for implementation and enforcement of additional categories 
of the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). Since EPA's review of 
the State of Georgia's pertinent laws, rules, and regulations showed 
them to be adequate and effective procedures for the implementation and 
enforcement of these Federal standards, EPA has made the delegation as 
requested.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the delegation of authority is 
September 30, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the request for delegation of authority and EPA's 
letter of delegation are available for public inspection during normal 
business hours at the following locations.

Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, Air Planning Branch, 100 
Alabama Street NE., Atlanta, GA 30303
Air Protection Branch, Georgia Environmental Protection Division, 
Georgia Department of Natural Resources, 4244 International Parkway, 
suite 120, Atlanta, Georgia 30354.

    Effective immediately, all requests, applications, reports and 
other correspondence required pursuant to the newly delegated standards 
should not be submitted to the Region 4 office, but should instead be 
submitted to the following address: Air Protection Branch, Georgia 
Environmental Protection Division, Georgia Department of Natural 
Resources, 4244 International Parkway, suite 120, Atlanta, Georgia 
30354.

Georgia. On June 17, 1996, the State of Georgia, through GA EPD, 
requested a delegation of authority for implementation and enforcement 
of the following NSPS categories found in 40 CFR part 60.

    After a thorough review of the request, the Regional Administrator

letter of May 3, 1976. The State of Georgia sources subject to the 
requirements of these subparts will now be under the jurisdiction of 
the State of Georgia.

listed above on September 30, 1996. The Office of Management and Budget 
has exempted this rule from the requirements of section 6 of Executive 
Order 12866.
