ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[GA44 & GA36-9948b; FRL-6547-3]


Approval and Promulgation of Revisions to the Georgia State 
Implementation Plan

AGENCY:  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

ACTION:  Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY:  The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Georgia on February 11, 1998, 
and November 19, 1998. The February 11, 1998, revisions update 
references to the August 15, 1997, version of Georgia's ``Procedures 
for Testing and Monitoring Sources of Air Pollutants'' manual. The 
November 19, 1998, revisions adopt new Permit by Rule provisions for 
several, small source categories, including: certain types of fuel-
burning equipment, on-site power generation, concrete mixing plants, 
hot mix asphalt plants, cotton ginning operations, coating and/or 
gluing operations, printing operations, non-reactive mixing operations, 
fiberglass molding and forming operations, and peanut/nut shelling 
operations. For these categories of sources that operate below the 
major source threshold, the rules may negate the need to file for a 
Part 70 Permit (also known as a ``Title V Permit'') or a synthetic 
minor permit. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the 
EPA is approving the State's SIP 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 action, 
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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments 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. The 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.

DATES:  Written comments must be received on or before April 12, 2000.

ADDRESSES:  All comments should be addressed to: Michele Notarianni, 
Air Planning Branch, Air, Pesticides, and Toxics Management Division, 
EPA Region 4, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Michele Notarianni at 404/562-9031 
(or by e-mail at: [email protected]).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  For additional information, see the direct 
final rule which is published in the Final Rules Section of this 
Federal Register.

    Dated: February 14, 2000.
A. Stanley Meiburg,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
