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 eight state air 
pollution control programs (Alabama Department of Environmental 
Management; Florida Department of Environmental Protection; Georgia 
Department of Natural Resources; Commonwealth of Kentucky Department 
for 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 
15 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, 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; Memphis-Shelby County Health Department, TN; Knox County 
Department of Air Quality Management, TN; and Metropolitan Government 
of Nashville and Davidson County Public Health Department, TN). The 23 
evaluations were conducted to assess the agencies' FY 07 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 evaluation for the remaining local government of 
Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District 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. The Regional Office's official hours of
