ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to find that the Atlanta, Georgia marginal 8-hour nonattainment ozone area has failed to attain the 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (‘‘NAAQS’’ or ‘‘standard’’) by June 15, 2007, the attainment deadline set forth in the Clean Air Act (CAA) and Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for marginal nonattainment areas. If EPA finalizes this finding, the Atlanta, Georgia area will then be reclassified, by operation of law, as a moderate 8-hour ozone nonattainment area. The moderate area attainment date for the Atlanta, Georgia area would then be ‘‘as expeditiously as practicable,’’ but no later than June 15, 2010. Once reclassified, Georgia must submit a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision that meets the 8-hour ozone nonattainment requirements for moderate areas, as required by the CAA. In this action, EPA is also proposing the schedule for Georgia’s submittal of the SIP revision required for moderate areas once the area is reclassified.
