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

Zusammenfassung

The EPA is proposing to approve the ground-level 1-hour ozone attainment demonstration State implementation plan (SIP) for the Atlanta nonattainment area submitted by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GAEPD) on October 28, 1999, and supplemented on November 23, 1999, provided the State follows through on certain commitments discussed in this notice. The November 23 supplemental information includes a clarification of the commitments discussed in this notice and an updated shortfall calculation. The discussion in this notice with respect to the shortfall is based on the supplemental information. The November 22 submittal meets the completeness criteria for parallel processing therefore EPA is proposing approval based on this information as well as the October 28 submittal. We are also proposing, in the alternative, to approve in part and disapprove in part this demonstration, if EPA concludes that the motor vehicle emissions budget submitted by the State is not consistent with attainment and therefore inadequate, or the State does not fulfill commitments to submit the rules to achieve additional emission reductions, establish enforceable requirements for nitrogen oxides
