AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of grantee performance evaluation

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

SUMMARY: EPA's grant regulations (40 CFR 35.115) 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 8 state air 
pollution control programs (Alabama Department of Environmental 
Management; Florida Department of Environmental Protection; Georgia 
Department of Natural Resources; Kentucky Environmental & Public 
Protection Cabinet; 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 16 local programs (City 
of Huntsville Division of Natural Resources, AL; Jefferson County 
Department of Health, AL; Broward County Environmental Protection 
Department, FL; City of Jacksonville Environmental Quality Division, 
FL; Hillsborough County Environmental Protection Commission, FL; Miami-
Dade County Air Quality Management Division, FL; Palm Beach County 
Health Department Division of Environmental Health, FL; Pinellas County 
Department of Environmental Management, FL; Louisville Metro Air 
Pollution Control District, KY; Forsyth County Environmental Affairs

Chattanooga-Hamilton County Air Pollution Control Bureau, TN; Knox 
County Department of Air Quality Management, TN; Memphis-Shelby County 
Health Department, TN and Nashville-Davidson County Metropolitan Public 
Health Department, TN). The 24 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.

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