ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2015-0292; FRL-9960-58-Region 4]


Air Plan Approval; Georgia; Inspection and Maintenance Program 
Updates

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the 
State of Georgia, through the Georgia Environmental Protection Division 
on August 6, 2014, pertaining to rule changes for the Georgia 
Inspection and Maintenance program. EPA is approving this SIP revision 
as modified by GA EPD through a December 1, 2016, partial withdrawal 
letter. EPA is proposing this action because the State has demonstrated 
that these portions of the SIP revision are consistent with the Clean 
Air Act.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before May 10, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
OAR-2015-0292 at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. EPA may publish any comment 
received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will 
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of 
the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 
system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA public comment 
policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, and general 
guidance on making effective comments, please visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

Management Section, Air Planning and Implementation Branch, Air, 
Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 4, 61 Forsyth Street SW., Atlanta, Georgia

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules Section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's August 6, 2014 SIP revision as a 
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this 
as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. As 
discussed in the direct final rule, GA EPD submitted a partial 
withdrawal letter to EPA on December 1, 2016, withdrawing the proposed 
revision to Georgia Rule 391-3-20-.06, ``On Road Testing,'' from the 
SIP revision. Therefore, that rule is no longer part of the SIP 
revision that EPA is proposing to approve. A detailed rationale for the 
approval is set forth in the direct final rule and incorporated herein 
by reference. 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 adverse 
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.

    Dated: March 15, 2017.
V. Anne Heard,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
