ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2013-0223; FRL-9813-7]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Georgia; State 
Implementation Plan Miscellaneous Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing changes to the Georgia State Implementation 
Plan (SIP) submitted by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division 
to EPA in four separate SIP submittals dated September 15, 2008, August 
30, 2010 (two submittals), and December 15, 2011. In the portions of 
the submittals being approved today, the SIP revisions update the 
Georgia SIP to reflect EPA's current national ambient air quality 
standards for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, lead, and 
particulate matter found in the Code of Federal Regulations. In the 
Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the 
State's implementation plan 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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.
