Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, and 
Local Agencies Within Those States as well as Jefferson County, KY

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of grantee performance evaluation 
reports.

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

SUMMARY: EPA's grant regulations (40 CFR 35.150) require the Agency to 
evaluate the performance of agencies which receive grants. EPA's 
regulations for regional consistency (40 CFR 56.7) require that the 
Agency notify the public of the availability of the reports of such 
evaluations. EPA recently performed end-of-year evaluations of five 
state air pollution control programs (Alabama Department of 
Environmental Management, Florida Department of Environmental 
Protection, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural 
Resources, South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental 
Control, Tennessee Department of Environmental & Conservation) and 16 
local programs (Knox County Department of Air Pollution Control, TN; 
Chattanooga-Hamilton County Air Pollution Control Bureau, TN; Memphis-
Shelby County Health Department, TN; Nashville-Davidson County 
Metropolitan Health Department, TN; Jefferson County Air Pollution 
Control District, KY; Western North Carolina Regional Air Pollution 
Control Agency, NC; Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental 
Protection, NC; Forsyth County Environmental Affairs Department, NC; 
Palm Beach County Public Health Unit, FL; Hillsborough County 
Environmental Protection Commission, FL; Dade County Environmental 
Resources Management, FL; Jacksonville Air Quality Division, FL; 
Broward County Environmental Quality Control Board, FL; Pinellas County 
Department of Environmental Management, FL; City of Huntsville 
Department of Natural Resources, AL; Jefferson County Department of 
Health, AL). The 21 evaluations were conducted to assess the agencies' 
performance under the grants awarded by EPA under authority of section 
105 of the Clean Air Act. EPA Region 4 has prepared reports for each 
agency identified above and these reports are now available for public 
inspection. The evaluations for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the 
States of Georgia and Mississippi will be made available for public 
review at a later date.

ADDRESSES: The reports may be examined at the EPA's Region 4 office, 61 
Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, in the Air, Pesticides, and 
Toxics Management Division.
