Availability of FY 00 Grant Performance Reports for States of 
Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina, and 
Local Agencies Within Those States

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, Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, North 
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and South 
Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control] and 16 local 
programs [City of Huntsville Department of Natural Resources, AL; 
Jefferson County Department of Health, AL; Broward County Environmental 
Quality Control Board, FL; Jacksonville Air Quality Division, FL; 
Hillsborough County Environmental Protection Commission, FL; Dade 
County Environmental Resources Management, FL; Palm Beach County Public 
Health Unit, FL; Pinellas County Department of Environmental 
Management, FL; Jefferson County Air Pollution Control District, KY; 
Forsyth County Environmental Affairs Department, NC; Mecklenburg County 
Department of Environmental Protection, NC; Western North Carolina 
Regional Air Pollution Control Agency, NC; Memphis-Shelby County Health 
Department, TN; Chattanooga-Hamilton County Air Pollution Control 
Bureau, TN; Knox County Department of Air Pollution Control, TN; 
Nashville-Davidson County Metropolitan Health Department, TN]. 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, and the States of Georgia 
and Tennessee will be 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.
