**Air Plan Disapproval; Georgia: Disapproval of Automatic Rescission**  **Clause**

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Proposed rule.

**SUMMARY :**  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to disapprove a portion of a revision to the Georgia State Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted through the Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection Division (EPD), on January 13, 2011, that would allow for the automatic rescission of federal permitting-related requirements in certain circumstances. EPA is proposing to disapprove Georgia’s automatic rescission provision because the Agency has preliminarily determined that this provision is not consistent with the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) or federal regulations related to SIPs.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background for EPA’s Proposed Action

On September 8, 2011, EPA took final action to approve portions of a requested revision to the Georgia SIP, submitted by EPD on January 13, 2011. See 76 FR 55572. Specifically, the portions of Georgia’s January 13, 2011, SIP submittal that EPA approved incorporated two updates to the State’s air quality regulations under Georgia’s New Source Review (NSR) Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program. First, the SIP revision established appropriate emission thresholds for determining which new stationary sources and modification projects become subject to Georgia’s PSD permitting requirements for their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Second, the SIP revision incorporated provisions for implementing the PSD program for the fine particulate matter (PM2.5 ) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). EPA noted in its September 8, 2011, final rule approving portions of Georgia’s January 13, 2011, SIP submittal that the Agency was still evaluating the portion of the SIP submittal related to a provision (at 391– 3–1–.02(7)(a)(2)(iv)) that would automatically rescind portions of Georgia’s SIP in the wake of certain court decisions or other triggering
