Air Plan Approval; Georgia: New Source Review and Permitting 
Updates

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve changes to the Georgia State Implementation Plan (SIP) to 
update new source review and miscellaneous permitting regulations. EPA 
is proposing to approve portions of SIP revisions submitted by the 
State of Georgia, through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' 
Environmental Protection Division on December 15, 2011, July 25, 2014, 
and November 12, 2014. This action is being proposed pursuant to the 
Clean Air Act and its implementing regulations.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before September 14, 
2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
OAR-2017-0078 at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. EPA may publish any comment 
received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will 
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of 
the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 
system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA public comment 
policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, and general 
guidance on making effective comments, please visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules Section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving portions of Georgia's December 15, 2011, 
July 25, 2014, and November 12, 2014 SIP revisions as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views these portions of 
these SIP revisions as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse 
comments. 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 adverse 
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: July 19, 2017.
V. Anne Heard,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
