purpose of removing the statewide
transportation facilities rules. The state

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Final Rules section of this issue of the
Federal Register, EPA is approving the
State’s SIP revision as a direct final rule

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 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final rule will be withdrawn and all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
on this document. Any parties
interested in commenting on this
document should do so at this time.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the State of
Georgia on January 25, 2016, for the
purpose of removing the requirements
for heavy duty diesel engines (HDDE),
which bar the sale/lease or import in the
State of Georgia of any new HDDE that
were not certified by the California Air
Resources Board to meet the emission
standards of the California HDDE rules.
The removal of this rule will prevent
regulatory confusion and make it clear
that the more stringent EPA emission
standards for HDDE are applicable. EPA
is proposing to approve this SIP revision
because the State has demonstrated that
it is consistent with the Clean Air Act.
DATES: Written comments must be
