SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve a State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Georgia, 
through the Department of Natural Resources (GA DNR), on November 16, 
2010. This revision consists of transportation conformity criteria and 
procedures related to interagency consultation and enforceability of 
certain transportation-related control measures and mitigation 
measures. The intended effect is to update the transportation 
conformity criteria and procedures in the Georgia SIP. This action is 
being taken pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act.

DATES: This direct final rule is effective August 14, 2012 without 
further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by July 16, 2012. 
If EPA receives such comments, it will publish a timely withdrawal of 
the direct final rule in the Federal Register and inform the public 
that the rule will not take effect.

I. Transportation Conformity

    Transportation conformity (hereafter referred to as ``conformity'') 
is required under section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) to 
ensure that federally supported highway, transit projects, and other 
activities are consistent with (``conform to'') the purpose of the SIP. 
Conformity currently applies to areas that are designated 
nonattainment, and to areas that have been redesignated to attainment 
after 1990 (maintenance areas) with plans developed under section 175A 
of the Act, for the following transportation related criteria 
pollutants: Ozone, particulate matter (e.g., PM2.5 and 
PM10), carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide.
    Conformity to the purpose of the SIP means that transportation 
activities will not cause new air quality violations, worsen existing 
violations, or delay timely attainment of the relevant criteria 
pollutants, also known as national ambient air quality standards 
(NAAQS). The transportation conformity regulation is found in 40 CFR 
part 93 and provisions related to conformity SIPs are found in 40 CFR 
51.390.

[[Page 35867]]

II. Background for This Action

A. Federal Requirements

    EPA promulgated the Federal transportation conformity criteria and 
procedures (``Conformity Rule'') on November 24, 1993 (58 FR 62188). 
Among other things, the rule required states to address all provisions 
of the conformity rule in their SIPs frequently referred to as 
``conformity SIPs.'' Under 40 CFR 51.390, most sections of the 
conformity rule were required to be copied verbatim. States were also 
required to tailor all or portions of the following three sections of 
the conformity rule to meet their state's individual circumstances: 40 
CFR 93.105, which addresses consultation procedures; 40 CFR 
93.122(a)(4)(ii), which addresses written commitments to control 
measures that are not included in a metropolitan planning 
organization's (MPO's) transportation plan and transportation 
improvement program that must be obtained prior to a conformity 
determination, and the requirement that such commitments, when they 
exist, must be fulfilled; and 40 CFR 93.125(c), which addresses written 
commitments to mitigation measures that must be obtained prior to a 
project-level conformity determination, and the requirement that 
project sponsors must comply with such commitments, when they exist.
    On August 10, 2005, the ``Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users'' (SAFETEA-LU) was signed 
into law. SAFETEA-LU revised section 176(c) of the CAA transportation 
conformity provisions. One of the changes streamlines the requirements 
for conformity SIPs. Under SAFETEA-LU, states are required to address 
and tailor only three sections of the rule in their conformity SIPs: 40 
CFR 93.105, 40 CFR 93.122(a)(4)(ii), and, 40 CFR 93.125(c), described 
above. In general, states are no longer required to submit conformity 
SIP revisions that address the other sections of the conformity rule. 
These changes took effect on August 10, 2005, when SAFETEA-LU was 
signed into law.

B. Atlanta Conformity SIP

    Effective June 15, 2004, EPA designated 20 whole counties in the 
Atlanta area, as nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. The 
counties include Barrow, Bartow, Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, 
Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, 
Henry, Newton, Paulding, Rockdale, Spalding, and Walton counties. 
Effective April 5, 2005, EPA designated 20 whole counties, and a 
portion of two counties in the Atlanta area, as nonattainment for the 
1997 Annual PM2.5 standard. The whole counties include 
Barrow, Bartow, Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, 
Douglas, Fayette, Forysth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry, Newton, 
Paulding, Rockdale, Spalding, and Walton counties; the partial counties 
include Heard and Putnam counties. The current designation status of 
both the Atlanta 1997 8-hour ozone and 1997 Annual PM2.5 
areas is nonattainment.
    There are two MPOs that are responsible for transportation planning 
for areas within the Atlanta nonattainment areas. The Atlanta Regional 
Commission (ARC) is the MPO for most of the Atlanta 1997 8-hour ozone 
and 1997 Annual PM2.5 nonattainment areas. ARC's planning 
boundary includes the whole counties of Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, 
Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, 
Paulding and Rockdale counties; and portions of Barrow, Bartow, Newton, 
Spalding and Walton counties in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Gainesville-
Hall MPO (GHMPO) is the other MPO for the Atlanta 1997 8-hour ozone and 
1997 Annual PM2.5 nonattainment areas. GHMPO's planning 
boundary includes Hall County. Walton County and the portions of 
Barrow, Bartow, Heard, Newton, Putnam, Spalding counties are considered 
``donut'' \1\ areas for the purposes of implementing transportation 
conformity in this area. Per the Transportation Conformity Rule, the 
MPO's conformity determination is not complete without a regional 
analysis that considers the projects in the MPO area(s) as well as the 
donut areas that are within the nonattainment/maintenance area. For the 
purposes of implementing 1997 8-hour ozone and 1997 Annual 
PM2.5 conformity, ARC serves as the lead agency for the 
preparation, consultation, and distribution of the conformity 
determinations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Donut areas are geographic areas outside a metropolitan 
planning area boundary, but inside the boundary of a nonattainment 
or maintenance area that contains any part of a metropolitan area.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Previously Georgia had established transportation conformity SIP 
for the Atlanta area. On September 27, 2002, EPA approved the Atlanta 
area's SIP revision which incorporated by reference 40 CFR 93 Subpart 
A, 67 FR 60869, and customized 40 CFR 93.105, 93.122(a)(4)(ii), and 
93.125(c) for all of the MPOs in the entire state. Specifically, the 
Atlanta area established a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for 
implementing the conformity Criteria and Consultation Procedure. The 
new conformity SIP (the subject of this rule making) has removed any 
incorporation by reference and has converted the MOA to a State Rule to 
be consistent with the SAFETEA-LU revisions to the CAA (Pub. L. 109-59) 
and subsequent regulations published on January 24, 2008 (73 FR 4420).

C. Chattanooga Conformity SIP

    Effective April 5, 2005, EPA designated Hamilton County in 
Tennessee, Walker and Catoosa Counties in Georgia, and a portion of 
Jackson County, Alabama in the tri-state Chattanooga area, as 
nonattainment for the 1997 Annual PM2.5 standard. The 
current designation status of the Chattanooga 1997 Annual 
PM2.5 area is nonattainment.
    The Chattanooga-Hamilton County, North Georgia Transportation 
Planning Organization (CHNGTPO) is the MPO for most of the tri-state 
Chattanooga, TN-GA, 1997 Annual PM2.5 area. CHCNGTPO's 
planning boundary includes Portions of Walker and Catoosa Counties in 
Georgia and Hamilton County in Tennessee; Portions of Walker and 
Catoosa Counties in Georgia; and a portion of Jackson County, Alabama. 
The portion of Jackson County, Alabama that is within the Chattanooga 
1997 Annual PM2.5 area is not within the CHCNGTPO planning 
boundary and thus is considered a ``donut'' area for the purposes of 
implementing transportation conformity in this area. Per the 
Transportation Conformity Rule, the MPO's conformity determination is 
not complete without a regional analysis that considers the projects in 
the MPO area as well as the donut areas that are within the 
nonattainment/maintenance area. For the purposes of implementing 1997 
Annual PM2.5 conformity, CHCNGTPO serves as the lead agency 
for the preparation, consultation, and distribution of the conformity 
determinations.
    Walker and Catoosa Counties in Georgia which are a part of the 
Chattanooga area do not have a previous conformity SIP. The states of 
Tennessee and Alabama will establish conformity procedures for the 
counties that make up the Tennessee and Alabama portion of the 
Chattanooga nonattainment area in their individual conformity SIPs. The 
SIP revision at issue now includes the conformity procedures for Walker 
and Catoosa Counties as part of the 1997 Annual PM2.5 
Chattanooga nonattainment area.

[[Page 35868]]

D. Macon Conformity SIP

    Effective June 15, 2004, EPA designated Bibb County and a portion 
of Monroe County in the Macon, Georgia area as nonattainment for the 
1997 8-hour ozone standard. Effective April 5, 2005, EPA designated 
Bibb County and a portion of Monroe County in the Macon, Georgia area 
as nonattainment for the 1997 Annual PM2.5 standard. The 
current designation status of the Macon 1997 8-hour ozone and 1997 
Annual PM2.5 areas are nonattainment for PM2.5 
and attainment (with a maintenance plan) for 1997 8-hour ozone (72 FR 
53432, September 19, 2007).
    The Macon Area Transportation Study (MATS) is the MPO for most of 
the Macon 1997 8-hour ozone and 1997 Annual PM2.5 
nonattainment area. The MATS planning boundary includes all of Bibb 
County. The portion of Monroe County that is included in the Macon 1997 
8-hour ozone and 1997 Annual PM2.5 nonattainment areas is 
not within the MATS planning boundary, and thus is considered a 
``donut'' area for the purposes of implementing transportation 
conformity in this area. The donut area of Monroe County entered into 
an agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) that 
will allow the Georgia DOT to represent them. Per the transportation 
conformity regulations, the MPO's conformity determination is not 
complete without a regional analysis that considers the transportation 
projects in the MPO area as well as the donut areas that are within the 
nonattainment area. For the purposes of implementing 1997 8-hour ozone 
and 1997 Annual PM2.5 conformity, MATS serves as the lead 
agency for the preparation, consultation and distribution of the 
conformity determination.
    Bibb County and the portion of Monroe County, Georgia which are a 
part of the Macon area do not have a previous conformity SIP. The SIP 
revision at issue now includes the conformity procedures for both the 
entire county of Bibb and the portion of Monroe County, Georgia, for 
the Macon area.

E. Rome Conformity SIP

    Effective April 5, 2005, EPA designated a portion of Floyd County 
in the Rome-Floyd area as nonattainment for the 1997 Annual 
PM2.5 standard. The current designation status of the Rome-
Floyd County 1997 Annual PM2.5 area is nonattainment. The 
Rome Floyd County MPO (RFCMPO) is the MPO for the entire Rome-Floyd 
1997 Annual PM2.5 area. For the purposes of implementing 
1997 Annual PM2.5 conformity, RFCMPO serves as the lead 
agency for the preparation, consultation, and distribution of the 
conformity determinations.
    Floyd County, Georgia which is a part of the Rome area does not 
have a previous conformity SIP. The SIP revision at issue now includes 
the conformity procedures for the entire county of Floyd county, 
Georgia, for the Rome area.

III. State Submittal and EPA Evaluation

    On November 16, 2010, the State of Georgia, through GA DNR, 
submitted the State's transportation conformity and consultation 
interagency rule to EPA as a revision to the SIP. On February 21, 2011, 
and again on March 10, 2011, GA DNR submitted supplemental information 
regarding the Georgia transportation conformity rule. These three SIP 
revisions established procedures for interagency consultation and 
replaced the Memorandum of Agreement submitted by GA DNR and approved 
by EPA on September 27, 2002 (67 FR 60869).
    The State of Georgia developed its consultation rule based on the 
elements contained in 40 CFR 93.105, 93.122(a)(4)(ii), and 93.125(c). 
As a first step, the State worked with the existing transportation 
planning organization's interagency committee that included 
representatives from the State air quality agency, State DOT, Federal 
Highway Administration--Georgia Division, Federal Transit 
Administration, the MPOs of the maintenance and nonattainment areas of 
Georgia, and EPA. The interagency committee met regularly and drafted 
the consultation rules considering elements in 40 CFR Part 93.105, 
93.122(a)(4)(ii), and 93.125(c), and integrated the local procedures 
and processes into the rule. The consultation process developed in this 
rule is for the State of Georgia. On July 6, 2010, GA DNR held a public 
hearing for the transportation conformity rulemaking.
    EPA has evaluated this SIP and has determined that the State has 
met the requirements of Federal transportation conformity rule as 
described in 40 CFR Part 51, Subpart T and 40 CFR Part 93, Subpart A. 
GA DNR has satisfied the public participation and comprehensive 
interagency consultation requirement during development and adoption of 
the State Rule at the local level. Therefore, EPA is approving the rule 
as a revision to the Georgia SIP. EPA's rule requires the states to 
develop their own processes and procedures for interagency consultation 
among the federal, state, and local agencies and resolution of 
conflicts meeting the criteria in 40 CFR 93.105. The SIP revision must 
include processes and procedures to be followed by the MPO, state DOT, 
and U.S. DOT in consulting with the state and local air quality 
agencies and EPA before making conformity determinations. The 
transportation conformity SIP revision must also include processes and 
procedures for the state and local air quality agencies and EPA to 
coordinate the development of applicable SIPs with MPOs, state DOTs, 
and U.S. DOT.
    EPA has reviewed the submittal to assure consistency with the CAA 
as amended by SAFETEA-LU and EPA regulations (40 CFR part 93 and 40 CFR 
51.390) governing state procedures for transportation conformity and 
interagency consultation and has concluded that the submittal is 
approvable. Details of EPA's review are set forth in a technical 
support document (TSD), which has been included in the docket for this 
action. Specifically, in the TSD, EPA identifies how the submitted 
procedures satisfy our requirements under 40 CFR 93.105 for interagency 
consultation with respect to the development of transportation plans 
and programs, SIPs, and conformity determinations, the resolution of 
conflicts, and the provision of adequate public consultation, and our 
requirements under 40 CFR 93.122(a)(4)(ii) and 93.125(c) for 
enforceability of control measures and mitigation measures.

IV. Public Comment and Final Action

    For the reasons set forth above, EPA is taking action under section 
110 of the Act to approve the rule implementing the conformity criteria 
and consultation procedures revision to the Georgia SIP pursuant to the 
CAA, as a revision to the Georgia SIP. As a result of this action, 
Georgia's previously SIP-approved conformity procedures for Georgia (67 
FR 60869, September 27, 2002), will be replaced by the procedures 
submitted to EPA on November 16, 2010, for approval and adopted by 
State of Georgia on August 25, 2010. This action also establishes 
consultation procedures for all counties in Georgia.
    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no 
adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this 
Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document 
that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision should 
adverse comments be filed. This rule will be effective August 14, 2012 
without further notice unless the

[[Page 35869]]

Agency receives adverse comments by July 16, 2012.
    If EPA receives such comments, then EPA will publish a document 
withdrawing the final rule and informing the public that the rule will 
not take effect. All public comments received will then be addressed in 
a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not 
institute a second comment period. Parties interested in commenting 
should do so at this time. If no such comments are received, the public 
is advised that this rule will be effective on August 14, 2012 and no 
further action will be taken on the proposed rule.

V. 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 
action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and 
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state 
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to 
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     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).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as 
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), 
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in 
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct 
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the 
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, 
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the 
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and 
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of 
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior 
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot 
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal 
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review 
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for 
the appropriate circuit by August 14, 2012. Filing a petition for 
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect 
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor 
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may 
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or 
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are 
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of 
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules 
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate 
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can 
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed 
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to 
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).
