The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving the removal/revision to over 30 provisions in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in the Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee State Implementation Plan (SIP) subparts because they are unnecessary or obsolete. This action makes no substantive changes to these SIPs and imposes no new requirements. Removal of outdated material from the air program subparts for these states is non-substantive in nature and is designed to improve cost effectiveness and usability of the CFR. This action also updates certain provisions by correcting state agencies' office addresses and correcting CFR publication errors in two provisions.
