40 CFR Part 62

[GA-41-9829b; FRL-6187-3]

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) Plan submitted by

the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the State of

Georgia on January 20, 1998, for implementing and enforcing the

Emissions Guidelines applicable to existing Municipal Solid Waste

Landfills. The Plan was submitted by the Georgia DNR to satisfy certain

Federal Clean Air Act requirements. In the 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn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 must be received by December 14, 1998.

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

EPA Regional Office listed below. 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.
