Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 125 / Thursday, June 28, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
The Coast Guard will enforce the
safety zones listed in 33 CFR 165.151 on
the specified dates and times as
indicated in tables above. If the event is
delayed by inclement weather, the
regulation will be enforced on the rain

regulations were published in the
Federal Register on February 10, 2012
(77 FR 6954).
Under the provisions of 33 CFR
165.151, The fireworks displays and
swimming events listed above in DATES
are established as safety zones. During
these enforcement periods, persons and
vessels are prohibited from entering
into, transiting through, mooring, or
anchoring within the safety zones
unless they receive permission from the
COTP or designated representative.
This rule is issued under authority of
33 CFR 165 and 5 U.S.C. 552(a). In
addition to this rule in the Federal
Register, the Coast Guard will provide
the maritime community with advance
notification of this enforcement period
via the Local Notice to Mariners or
marine information broadcasts. If the
COTP determines that a regulated area
need not be enforced for the full
duration stated in this notice, a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be
used to grant general permission to
enter the regulated area.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
EPA is finalizing a limited
approval of a revision to the Georgia
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
submitted by the State of Georgia
through the Georgia Department of
Environmental Protection Division (GA
EPD) on February 11, 2010, as
supplemented November 19, 2010
(hereafter also referred to as ‘‘Georgia’s
regional haze SIP’’). Georgia’s SIP

first implementation period.
Specifically, these SIP revisions address
the requirements of the Clean Air Act
(CAA or Act) and EPA’s rules that
require states to prevent any future and
remedy any existing anthropogenic
impairment of visibility in mandatory
Class I areas (national parks and
wilderness areas) caused by emissions
of air pollutants from numerous sources
located over a wide geographic area
(also referred to as the ‘‘regional haze
program’’). States are required to assure
reasonable progress toward the national
goal of achieving natural visibility
conditions in Class I areas. EPA is
finalizing a limited approval of
Georgia’s SIP revisions to implement the
regional haze requirements on the basis
that these SIP revisions, as a whole,
strengthen the Georgia SIP. In a separate
action published on June 7, 2012, EPA
proposed a limited disapproval of these
same SIP revisions because of the
deficiencies in the State’s regional haze
SIP arising from the remand by the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit) to EPA
of the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR).
DATES: Effective Date: This rule will be
effective July 30, 2012.

I. What is the background for this final
action?
Regional haze is visibility impairment
that is produced by a multitude of
sources and activities which are located
across a broad geographic area and emit
fine particles (e.g., sulfates, nitrates,
organic carbon, elemental carbon, and
soil dust), and their precursors (e.g.,
sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides
(NOX), and in some cases, ammonia and
volatile organic compounds. Fine
particle precursors react in the
atmosphere to form fine particulate
matter (PM2.5) which impairs visibility
by scattering and absorbing light.
Visibility impairment reduces the
clarity, color, and visible distance that
one can see. PM2.5 can also cause
serious health effects and mortality in
humans and contributes to
environmental effects such as acid
deposition and eutrophication.
In section 169A of the 1977
Amendments to the CAA, Congress
created a program for protecting
visibility in the nation’s national parks
and wilderness areas. This section of the
CAA establishes as a national goal the
‘‘prevention of any future, and the
remedying of any existing, impairment
of visibility in mandatory Class I areas
which impairment results from
manmade air pollution.’’ On December
2, 1980, EPA promulgated regulations to
address visibility impairment in Class I
areas that is ‘‘reasonably attributable’’ to
a single source or small group of
sources, i.e., ‘‘reasonably attributable
visibility impairment.’’ See 45 FR
80084. These regulations represented
the first phase in addressing visibility
impairment. EPA deferred action on
regional haze that emanates from a
variety of sources until monitoring,
modeling, and scientific knowledge
about the relationships between
pollutants and visibility impairment
were improved.
Congress added section 169B to the
CAA in 1990 to address regional haze
issues. EPA promulgated a rule to
address regional haze on July 1, 1999
