AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the fine particulate matter 
(PM<INF>2.5</INF>) 2002 base year emissions inventory, portion of the 
State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of 
Georgia on August 17, 2009. The emissions inventory is part of the 
Macon, Georgia PM<INF>2.5</INF> attainment demonstration that was 
submitted for the 1997 annual PM<INF>2.5</INF> National Ambient Air 
Quality Standards. This action is being taken pursuant to section 110 
of the Clean Air Act. In the Rules Section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is approving Georgia's SIP revision as a direct final rule without

submittal and anticipates no adverse comments.
