SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is taking final action to
approve changes to the Georgia State
Implementation Plan (SIP) to revise the
emission reduction credits (ERC)
regulation. EPA is approving portions of
the SIP revision submitted by the State
of Georgia, through the Georgia
Department of Natural Resources’
Environmental Protection Division (GA
EPD) on September 15, 2008. The
I. Background
On September 15, 2008, GA EPD
submitted a SIP revision to EPA for
approval that involves changes to
Georgia’s emissions reduction credits
rule and the administrative fees found
in Georgia Rule 391–3–1–.03(13). Rule
391–3–1–.03(13) provides for the
creation, banking, transfer, and use of
nitrogen oxides (NOX) and volatile
organic compounds (VOC) ERCs in
Federally designated ozone
nonattainment areas in Georgia and
Federal Register that amended the
definition of ‘‘machinegun’’ (or
‘‘machine gun’’) contained in 27 CFR
447.11, 478.11, and 479.11. See 83 FR
66514. That final rule, which was
adopted after the publication of a notice
of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register and a period of public
comment, was signed by Acting
Attorney General Matthew G. Whitaker
on December 18, 2018.
That final rule has become the subject
of litigation in which parties have
argued that Mr. Whitaker was not
validly serving as the Acting Attorney
General, as either a statutory or
constitutional matter.
On February 14, 2019, I was sworn in
as Attorney General following
confirmation by the Senate and
appointment by the President. Although
I believe that the challenges to Mr.
Whitaker’s designation lack merit, I
elected, out of an abundance of caution,
to independently reevaluate the abovementioned rule and the underlying
rulemaking record.
Having now familiarized myself with
the rulemaking record that was before
the Acting Attorney General and having
reevaluated those materials without any
deference to his earlier decision, I have
personally come to the conclusion that
it is appropriate to ratify and affirm the
final rule as it was published at 83 FR
66514, and I hereby do so.
Dated: March 11, 2019.
William P. Barr,
Attorney General.

administrative fees associated with the
ERC Program.
GA EPD oversees the ERC Program,
which was created in 1999 and
approved into Georgia’s SIP on July 10,
2001. See 66 FR 35906. The ERC
Program facilitates construction
permitting for major emission sources
that are subject to nonattainment new
source review (NNSR) permitting in
Georgia ozone nonattainment areas.
Emissions point sources within the 25county area surrounding Atlanta that
require Best Available Control
Technology and offset permitting are
also eligible for the ERC Program.
The ERC Program allows eligible
sources that voluntarily reduce
emissions in the affected counties to
certify and ‘‘bank’’ these reductions as
ERCs for future use by themselves or
others. The banked ERCs hold their
value for ten years, at which point they
begin devaluing ten percent per year
until they have reached 50 percent of
their original value. The ERC Program is
intended to help the Atlanta area
achieve compliance with federal
standards for ground-level ozone. The
ERC does not allow for any increase in
emissions of NOX or VOC in the area to
which it is applicable. In this action,
EPA is approving the portion of
Georgia’s submission that makes
changes to the applicability, discounting
and revocation, and administrative fees
sections of Rule 391–3–1–.03(13)—
‘‘Emission Reduction Credits.’’
II. Analysis of State’s Submittals
The September 15, 2008, SIP revision
involves changes to Georgia’s Rule 391–
3–1–.03—‘‘Permits’’ paragraph (13)(a),
which modifies eligibility to participate
in the ERC Program for stationary
sources in Barrow County by removing
Barrow County from the list of counties
with sources eligible to create and bank
NOX and VOC ERCs only for electric
generating units that have the potential
to emit NOX and VOC emissions in
amounts greater than 100 tons per year
(tpy), and adding Barrow County to the
list of counties with sources eligible to
create and bank NOX and VOC ERCs for
any stationary source that has the
potential to emit NOX and VOC
emissions in amounts greater than 100
tpy. This change expands the universe
of stationary sources in Barrow County
that may voluntarily reduce NOX and
VOC emissions and then credit those
reductions at an equal or reduced rate
against future emissions of those
pollutants—thus incentivizing overall
emissions reductions. Accordingly, EPA
is approving this change as SIP
strengthening.
