modeling, along with analysis of the 

associated data, related to the 2008 Lead 

NAAQS when necessary. Accordingly, 

EPA is proposing to approve Georgia’s 

infrastructure SIP submission with 

respect to section 110(a)(2)(K). 

11. 110(a)(2)(L)—Permitting fees: This 

element necessitates that the SIP require 

the owner or operator of each major 

stationary source to pay to the 

permitting authority, as a condition of 

any permit required under the CAA, a 

fee sufficient to cover (i) the reasonable 

costs of reviewing and acting upon any 

application for such a permit, and (ii) if 

the owner or operator receives a permit 

for such source, the reasonable costs of 

implementing and enforcing the terms 

and conditions of any such permit (not 

including any court costs or other costs 

associated with any enforcement 

action), until such fee requirement is 

superseded with respect to such sources 

by the Administrator’s approval of a fee 

program under title V. 

Georgia Air Quality Act: Article 1: Air 

Quality (O.C.G.A. Section 12–9–10, and 

Georgia Rule for Air Quality 391–3–1– 

.03(9)—Permit Fees requires the 

collection of permitting fees through the 

title V Fee Program, which EPD ensures 

is sufficient for the reasonable cost of 

reviewing and acting upon PSD and 

NNSR permits. Additionally, Georgia 

has a fully approved title V operating 

permit program at Georgia Rule for Air 

Quality 391–3–1–.03(9)—Permit Fees 

that covers the cost of implementation 

and enforcement of PSD and NNSR 

permits after they have been issued. 

EPA has made the preliminary 

determination that Georgia’s SIP and 

practices adequately provide for 

permitting fees related to the 2008 Lead 

NAAQS, when necessary. Accordingly, 

EPA is proposing to approve Georgia’s 

infrastructure SIP submission with 

respect to section 110(a)(2)(L). 

12. 110(a)(2)(M)—Consultation/

participation by affected local entities: 

This element requires states to provide 

for consultation and participation in SIP 

development by local political 

subdivisions affected by the SIP. 

Georgia Air Quality Act: Article I: Air 

Quality (O.C.G.A. Section 12–9) 

authorizes EPD to advise, consult, 

cooperate and enter into agreements 

with other agencies of the state, the 

Federal Government, other states, 

interstate agencies, groups, political 

subdivisions, and industries affected by 

the provisions of this act, rules, or 

policies of the department. EPA has 

made the preliminary determination 

that Georgia’s SIP and practices 

adequately demonstrate consultation 

with affected local entities related to the 

22008 Lead NAAQS, when necessary. 

Accordingly, EPA is proposing to 

approve Georgia’s infrastructure SIP 

submission with respect to section 

110(a)(2)(M). 

V. Proposed Action 

With the exception of the PSD 

permitting requirements for major 

sources of sections 110(a)(2)(C), prong 3 

of (D)(i), and (J), EPA is proposing to 

approve Georgia’s March 6, 2012, SIP 

submittal to address infrastructure 

requirements for the 2008 Lead NAAQS. 

EPA is proposing to take this action 

because the Agency has made the 

preliminary determination that 

Georgia’s infrastructure SIP revision is 

consistent with section 110 and EPA’s 

2011 Lead Infrastructure SIP Guidance. 

VI. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

Act and applicable Federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, this proposed 

action merely proposes to approve state 

law as meeting Federal requirements 

and would not impose additional 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

state law. For that reason, this proposed 

action: 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 

• does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

The SIP is not approved to apply on 

any Indian reservation land or in any 

other area where EPA or an Indian tribe 

has demonstrated that a tribe has 

jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 

country, the rule does not have tribal 

implications as specified by Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000), nor will it impose substantial 

direct costs on tribal governments or 

preempt tribal law.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Rules and Regulations section of this 

issue of the Federal Register, EPA is 

approving the State’s SIP submittal as a 

direct final rule without prior proposal 

because the Agency views this as a 

noncontroversial submittal and 

anticipates no adverse comments. A 

detailed rationale for the approval is set 

forth in the direct final rule. If no 

adverse comments are received in 

response to this action rule, no further 

activity is contemplated. 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. Any parties 

interested in commenting on this action 

should do so at this time. Please note 

that if EPA receives adverse comment 

on an amendment, paragraph, or section 

of this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

EPA may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment.

direct final rule which is located in the

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

changes to the Georgia State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) that were 

submitted by the State of Georgia, 

through the Georgia Environmental 

Protection Division (GA EPD), on

(CFFP) from the active portion of the 

Georgia SIP to the contingency measures 

portion of the maintenance plan for the 

Atlanta Area for the 1997 8-hour ozone 

national ambient air quality standards 

(NAAQS). EPA has preliminarily 

determined that Georgia’s January 22, 

2015, SIP revision regarding the CFFP is 

approvable because it is consistent with 

the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act).
