On February 1, 2005, the State of Georgia, through the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD), submitted; a request to redesignate the 1-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) nonattainment area of Atlanta, Georgia, to attainment; and a request for EPA approval of a Georgia State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision containing a 10-year maintenance plan for the 13-county Atlanta area, including new motor vehicle emission budgets (MVEBs) for the year 2015. In addition, Georgia has requested that EPA make a determination that certain Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) SIP submittal requirements related to attainment demonstrations and reasonable further progress are not applicable requirements for the purposes of this redesignation request because the Atlanta area has attained the 1- hour ozone NAAQS based on ambient air monitoring data for the 3- year period including the years 2002, 2003, and 2004. EPA is proposing to determine that the Atlanta area has attained the 1-hour ozone NAAQS. This proposal is based on three years of complete, quality-assured ambient air quality monitoring data for 2002 through 2004 ozone seasons. On the basis of this proposal, EPA is also proposing to determine that certain attainment demonstration and reasonable further progress requirements along with other related requirements of part D of Title I of the CAA are not applicable to the Atlanta area. EPA is also proposing approval of both the 1-hour ozone redesignation request and the 10-year maintenance plan SIP revision, including the new 2015 MVEBs. EPA's proposed approval of the 1-hour ozone redesignation request is based on its determination that the Atlanta area has met the five criteria for redesignation to attainment specified in the CAA, including a demonstration that the Atlanta area has attained the 1-hour ozone NAAQS. EPA is proposing approval of the 10-year maintenance plan SIP revision, including the new 2015 MVEBs, because EPA has determined that the plan complies with the requirements of Section 175A of the Act. Finally, in this proposed rulemaking, EPA is providing information on the status of its transportation conformity adequacy determination for new motor vehicle emission budgets (MVEB) for the year 2015 that are contained Georgia's the 10-year 1-hour ozone maintenance plan SIP submittal for the Atlanta area.
