Summary

EPA is proposing to approve the fine particulate matter (PM ^2.5 ) 2002 base year emissions inventory portion of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Georgia on October 27, 2009. The emissions inventory is part of the Rome, Georgia PM ^2.5 attainment demonstration that was submitted for the 1997 annual PM ^2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards. This action is being taken pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act. In the Rules Section of this Federal Register , EPA is approving Georgia's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments.

Dates

Written comments must be received on or before February 13, 2012.

Supplementary Information

For additional information see the direct final rule which is published in the Rules Section of this Federal Register . A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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: December 22, 2011.
