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

In a December 16, 1999, Federal Register document (see 64 FR 70478), EPA proposed to approve the 1-hour ozone attainment demonstration for the Atlanta nonattainment area (Atlanta attainment demonstration), as well as the underlying rule revisions, which were submitted by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GAEPD) on October 28, 1999. EPA's proposed approval was based on the condition that the GAEPD satisfy certain requirements established in the proposal. Subsequently, the GAEPD submitted revisions to the Atlanta attainment demonstration on January 31, 2000, and July 31, 2000. Those rule revisions were proposed for approval in the Federal Register on December 18, 2000, at 65 FR 79034. No adverse comments were received pertaining to any rule revisions. In today's action, EPA is granting final approval to the rule revisions contained in the December 16, 1999, and December 18, 2000, proposals. Action will be taken on the Atlanta attainment demonstration in a separate notice.
