40 CFR Part 62

[GA-37-9811b; FRL-6003-9]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated

Facilities and Pollutants: Georgia

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the Section 111(d) and 129 State Plan

submitted by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the

State of Georgia on November 13, 1997, for implementing and enforcing

the Emissions Guidelines applicable to existing Municipal Waste

Combustors with capacity to combust more than 250 tons per day of

municipal solid waste. The Plan was submitted by the Georgia DNR to

satisfy certain Federal Clean Air Act requirements. In the Final Rules

Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the Georgia State

Plan submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because

the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates

that it will not receive any significant, material, and adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the

direct final rule and incorporated by reference herein. If no

significant, material, and adverse comments are received in response to

this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to

this proposed rule. 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 action.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by

June 18, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Scott Martin at the

EPA Region Office listed. Copies of the documents relevant to this

proposed rule are available for public inspection during normal

business hours at the following locations. The interested persons

wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment with the

appropriate office at least 24 hours before the day of the visit.
