Approval and Promulgation of
Implementation Plans; Georgia: Stage
II Vapor Recovery
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
AGENCY:
EPA is taking direct final
action to approve revisions to the
Georgia State Implementation Plan
(SIP), submitted by the Georgia
Environmental Protection Division (GA
EPD) on September 26, 2006, with a
clarifying revision submitted on
November 6, 2006. The September 26,
2006, submittal includes multiple
modifications to Georgia’s Air Quality
Rules found at Chapter 391–3–1.
Previously, EPA took action on the
majority of the September 26, 2006,
submittal in an action published in the
Federal Register on February 9, 2010. In
today’s action, EPA is addressing only
the portion of the September 26, 2006,
submittal that relates to revisions to
Georgia’s Stage II gasoline vapor
recovery rule at 391–3–1–.02(zz). These
revisions are part of Georgia’s strategy to
meet the national ambient air quality
standards (NAAQS). EPA has
determined that these revisions are
consistent with the December 12, 2006,
EPA memorandum from Stephen D.
Page entitled Removal of Stage II Vapor
Recovery in Situations Where
Widespread Use of Onboard Refueling
Vapor Recovery is Demonstrated. EPA is
approving Georgia’s SIP revisions
pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air
Act (CAA or Act).
