Abstract
EPA is approving the enhanced Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) program for the State of Georgia. The program had initially been given conditional interim approval under the terms of section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and section 348 of the National Highway Systems Designation Act (NHSDA), as noted in EPA's final conditional interim rule action in the August 11, 1997, Federal Register. Due to delays in implementing Phase 2 of the program, the Georgia enhanced I/M program had been disapproved on March 11, 1998, which triggered an eighteen month clock prior to the imposition of sanctions. This approval action also serves to stop the sanctions clock.
