40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2010-0969; FRL-9686-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Revisions to 
the Georgia State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the State of Georgia, through the Department of 
Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division on November 16, 
2010. This revision consists of transportation conformity criteria and 
procedures related to interagency consultation and enforceability of 
certain transportation-related control measures and mitigation 
measures. The intended effect is to update the transportation 
conformity criteria and procedures in the Georgia SIP. This action is 
being taken pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act.
    In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal 
and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the 
approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments 
are received in response to this rule, no further activity is 
contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule 
will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 
a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before July 16, 2012.
