Abstract
The EPA is approving the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Georgia, through the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GAEPD), on March 15, 2005. These revisions pertain to Georgia's rules for Air Quality Control. These revisions were the subject of a public hearing held on March 18, 2004, adopted by the Board of Natural Resources on April 28, 2004, and became effective on July 8, 2004. On September 26, 2003, EPA published a final rule in the Federal Register (see 68 FR 55469) reclassifying the Atlanta 1-hour ozone nonattainment area from serious to severe. These revisions satisfy the additional requirements for severe 1-hour ozone nonattainment areas.
