Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, 
Tennessee; All Local Agencies Within the States of Alabama, Florida, 
and North Carolina; and the Local Agencies of Chattanooga-Hamilton

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 performed end-of-year evaluations of six 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; South Carolina Department of Health 
and Environmental Control; and Tennessee Department of Environment and 
Conservation); and 13 local programs (City of Huntsville Division of 
Natural Resources, AL; Jefferson County Department of Health, AL; 
Broward County Department of Planning and Environmental Protection, FL; 
Jacksonville Air and Water Quality Division, FL; Hillsborough County 
Environmental Protection Commission, FL; Miami-Dade County Air Quality 
Management Division, FL; Palm Beach County Health Department, FL; 
Pinellas County Department of Environmental Management, FL; Forsyth 
County Environmental Affairs Department, NC; Mecklenburg County Land 
Use and Environmental Services Agency, NC; Western North Carolina 
Regional Air Quality Agency, NC; Chattanooga-Hamilton County Air 
Pollution Control Bureau, TN; and Nashville-Davidson County 
Metropolitan Public Health Department, TN). The 19 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 remainder of the State and local governments will be published 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.
