the Eight States of EPA Region 4 and 16 Local Agencies

SUMMARY: EPA's grant regulations (40 CFR 35.115) require the Agency to 
evaluate the performance of agencies which receive grants. EPA's 
regulations for regional consistency (40 CFR 56.7) require that the

Management; Florida Department of Environmental Protection; Georgia 
Department of Natural Resources; Commonwealth of Kentucky Department 
for Environmental Protection; Mississippi Department of Environmental 
Quality; North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural 
Resources; South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental 
Control; and Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation) and

Hamilton County Air Pollution Control Bureau, TN; Memphis-Shelby County 
Health Department, TN; Knox County Department of Air Quality

to assess the agencies' Fiscal Year 2008 performance under the grants 
awarded by EPA under authority of section 105 of the Clean Air Act. EPA 
Region 4 has prepared reports for each agency identified above and 
these reports are now available for public inspection.

Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303, in the Air, Pesticides and
