the Eight States of EPA Region 4 and 17 Local Agencies

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

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

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

pollution control programs (Alabama Department of Environmental 
Management; Florida Department of Environmental Protection; Georgia 
Department of Natural Resources; Commonwealth of Kentucky Energy and 
Environment Cabinet; 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 17 local programs (City 
of Huntsville Division of Natural Resources, AL; Jefferson County

Regional Air Quality Agency, NC; Chattanooga-Hamilton County Air 
Pollution Control Bureau, TN; Shelby County Health Department, TN; Knox

Government of Nashville and Davidson County Public Health Department, 
TN). The 25 evaluations were conducted to assess the agencies' Fiscal 
Year 2011 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
