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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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.
