9452 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 35 / Tuesday, February 22, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

1 Georgia’s SIP is set forth at 40 CFR 52.570. 

2The SIP-approved version of Rule 391–3–1– 

.03(2) states ‘‘Prior to the issuance of any federally 

enforceable operating permit, EPA and the public 

will be notified and given a chance for comment on 

the draft permit.’’ 

3EPA erroneously made the draft change to Rule 

391–3–1–.03(2)(i) in its online Georgia SIP 

compilation at https://www.epa.gov/sips-ga. EPA 

will correct this error in the SIP compilation at the 

time of publication or shortly thereafter. 

4The SIP table at 40 CFR 52.570(c) contains an 

error in the entry for Rule 391–3–1–.03(2) 

indicating a December 26, 2001, state effective date. 

EPA intends to correct this table entry to reflect a 

state effective date of August 17, 1994, in the next 

routine update to the materials incorporated by 

reference into the Georgia SIP. 

(d) Enforcement. The U.S. Coast 

Guard may be assisted in the patrol and 

enforcement of the safety zone by 

Federal, State, and local agencies. 

(e) Enforcement period. This section 

will be enforced from 7 a.m. through 7 

p.m. each day from February 15, 2022, 

through March 1, 2022. 

Dated: February 15, 2022.

Approval of Revisions to State 

Implementation Plan; Correction 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule; correction and 

clarification. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is correcting statements 

contained in a July 11, 2002, Federal 

Register notice of direct final 

rulemaking approving changes to the 

Georgia State Implementation Plan 

(SIP). Specifically, EPA stated that it 

was approving a change to the public 

notice requirements in Georgia’s SIP for 

federally-enforceable operating permits. 

However, this change was never 

effective at the state level and, therefore, 

was never incorporated into the SIP. 

EPA is publishing this correction notice 

to eliminate any potential confusion 

regarding the public notice 

requirements in Georgia’s SIP for these 

permits. 

DATES: Effective February 22, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this notice of correction 

under Docket Identification No. EPA– 

R04–OAR–2022–0002 to provide 

electronic access to the July 11, 2002, 

submittal. All documents in the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires 

states to develop and submit to EPA a 

SIP to ensure that state air quality meets 

the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS). These NAAQS 

currently address six criteria pollutants: 

Carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, 

ozone, lead, particulate matter, and 

sulfur dioxide. Each state has a SIP 

containing the control measures and 

strategies used to attain and maintain 

the NAAQS. The SIP is extensive, 

containing such elements as air 

pollution control and permitting 

regulations, emission inventories, 

attainment demonstrations, and 

enforcement mechanisms. Each state 

must formally adopt the elements it 

proposes to include in its SIP after the 

public has had an opportunity to 

comment on them and must then submit 

the proposed SIP revisions to EPA. If the 

revisions meet all relevant CAA 

requirements, EPA must approve them 

through notice and comment 

rulemaking and incorporate the 

elements into the SIP at 40 Code of 

Federal Regulations part 52—‘‘Approval 

and Promulgation of Implementation 

Plans.’’ 1

EPA incorporated Georgia’s 

‘‘Operating (SIP) Permits’’ rule—Ga. 

Comp. R. & Regs. 391–3–1–.03, Permits, 

at Section (2) (hereinafter Rule 391–3– 

1–.03(2))—into the Georgia SIP on 

August 30, 1995. See 60 FR 45048. 

Paragraph (i) of this rule requires the 

State to notify EPA and the public prior 

to issuing any federally-enforceable 

operating permit and provide the 

opportunity to comment on the draft 

permit. Georgia has not revised this 

public notice provision since its initial 

incorporation into the SIP.2

On July 11, 2002 (67 FR 45909), EPA 

approved numerous changes to the 

Georgia SIP through a direct final rule. 

This rule addressed regulatory changes 

transmitted to EPA on December 6, 

1999, March 21, 2000, January 4, 2001, 

August 21, 2001, and December 28, 

2001, by the State of Georgia, through 

the Georgia Department of Natural 

Resources’ Environmental Protection 

Division (also known as GA EPD). 

GA EPD’s March 21, 2000, submittal 

contained several revisions to Rule 391– 

3–1–.03 and information indicating that 

it included changes to Rule 391–3–1– 

.03(2) for EPA approval. Specifically, 

the submittal contained a strikeout/ 

underline draft version of Rule 391–3– 

1–.03(2)(i), that purported to eliminate 

the phrase ‘‘on the draft permit.’’ In the 

preamble of the July 11, 2002, notice of 

direct final rulemaking, EPA indicated it 

was removing this phrase, stating that 

‘‘Rule 391–3–1–.03(2)(i) is being 

amended to allow the public and EPA 

notification and review of a permit 

application to begin upon receipt of a 

permit application rather than upon 

completion of a draft permit.’’ 3 4 See 67 

FR 45909 at 45910. However, the 

submittal also included a final version 

of the rule that retained the phrase ‘‘on 

the draft permit’’ and a hearing record 

showing that the draft version of Rule 

391–3–1–.03(2)(i) (eliminating the 

phrase ‘‘on the draft permit’’), was never 

adopted by the Georgia Board of Natural 

Resources, and, therefore, was never 

state effective. 

The direct final rule incorporated the 

final version of Rule 391–3–1–.03 into 

the SIP at 40 CFR 52.570(c). Because the 

draft change to the public notice 

requirement in Rule 391–3–1–.03(2)(i) 

(eliminating the phrase ‘‘on the draft 

permit’’), was never state effective, EPA 

could not have incorporated it into the 

SIP. Therefore, EPA did not approve any 

change to 391–3–1–.03(2) in the July 11,
