ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
EPA is approving changes to the
Georgia SIP that were provided to EPA
under a cover letter dated April 30,
2021.1 Specifically, GA EPD submitted
changes to Georgia’s Rule 391–3–20—
Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance
(‘‘Georgia I/M Regulation’’), which were
adopted by the GA DNR Board of
Directors and became state-effective on
April 13, 2021. The changes update the
Georgia SIP to remove obsolete
references, requirements, and
terminology, and update terminology to
reflect advances in technology. These
proposed changes include removing and
revising definitions applicable to the
Georgia I/M Regulation.
Georgia’s April 30, 2021, SIP revisions
sought to modify the following sections
of the Georgia’s SIP-approved I/M
Regulation: Rule 391–3–20–.01—
‘‘Definitions’’; Rule 391–3–20–.04—
‘‘Emission Inspection Procedures’’; Rule
391–3–20–.05—‘‘Emission Standards’’;
Rule 391–3–20–.07—‘‘Inspection
Equipment System Specifications’’; Rule
391–3–20–.09—‘‘Inspection Station

On July 11, 2022, EPA published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to propose approval of the
aforementioned changes to Georgia’s
SIP. See 87 FR 41080. EPA’s July 11,
2022, NPRM includes further detail on
the changes made in Georgia’s April 30,
2021, submittal as well as EPA’s
rationale for approving these changes to
the SIP. Comments were due on the July
11, 2022, NPRM on or before August 10,
2022, and EPA received no comments
on that proposal. Therefore, EPA is
approving the changes in this final
action.

II. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, EPA is finalizing
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, and as discussed in Section I of
this preamble, EPA is finalizing the
incorporation by reference of Georgia
Rules 391–3–20–.01—Definitions; 391–
3–20–.04—Emission Inspection
Procedures; 391–3–20–.05—Emission
Standards; 391–3–20–.07—Inspection
Equipment System Specifications; 391–
3–20–.09—Inspection Station
Requirements; and 391–3–20–.11—
Inspector Qualifications and
Certification, all of which have an
effective date of April 13, 2021, into the
Georgia SIP. EPA has made and will
continue to make these materials
generally available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region 4 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).
Therefore, the revised materials as
stated above, have been approved by
EPA for inclusion in the State
implementation plan, have been
incorporated by reference by EPA into
that plan, are fully federally enforceable
under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA
as of the effective date of the final
rulemaking of EPA’s approval, and will
be incorporated by reference in the next
update to the SIP compilation.2
III. Final Action
EPA is taking final action approving
changes to the Georgia SIP that were
provided to EPA in a cover letter dated
April 30, 2021. GA EPD submitted
changes to Georgia’s Rule 391–3–20—
Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance
(‘‘Georgia I/M Regulation’’), which were
adopted by the GA DNR Board of
Directors and became state-effective on
2 See
62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).

April 13, 2021. Specifically, Georgia’s
April 30, 2021, SIP revisions modify the
following sections of the Georgia’s SIPapproved I/M Regulation: Rule 391–3–
20–.01—Definitions; Rule 391–3–20–.04
—Emission Inspection Procedures; Rule
391–3–20–.05—Emission Standards;
Rule 391–3–20–.07—Inspection
Equipment System Specifications; Rule
391–3–20–.09—Inspection Station
Requirements; and Rule 391–3–20–.11—
Inspector Qualifications and
Certification.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
Act and applicable Federal regulations.
See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. This action merely approves
state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason,
this action:
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• Does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
PO 00000

appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
The SIP is not approved to apply on
any Indian reservation land or in any
other area where EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has
jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal
implications as specified by Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000), nor will it impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law.
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this action and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by November 21, 2022. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this action for the
purposes of judicial review nor does it
extend the time within which a petition
for judicial review may be filed, and
shall not postpone the effectiveness of
such rule or action. This action may not
be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section
307(b)(2).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving changes
to State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of
Georgia, through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GA DNR),
Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD), in a letter dated April 30,
2021. The revisions remove obsolete references and provisions, clarify
the State's inspection and maintenance (I/M) requirements, and update
terminology, in part to reflect advances in test and vehicle
technology. EPA evaluated the SIP revisions and determined the changes
will not impact emissions under the Georgia I/M program. EPA also
determined that approval of the SIP revisions will not interfere with
attainment or maintenance of any national ambient air quality standard
(NAAQS) or with any other applicable requirement of the Clean Air Act
(CAA or Act). Therefore, EPA is approving the Georgia's April 30, 2021,
SIP revisions as consistent with the applicable provisions of the CAA.
DATES: This rule is effective October 24, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
EPA is approving changes to the Georgia SIP that were provided to
EPA under a cover letter dated April 30, 2021.\1\ Specifically, GA EPD
submitted changes to Georgia's Rule 391-3-20--Enhanced Inspection and
Maintenance (``Georgia I/M Regulation''), which were adopted by the GA
DNR Board of Directors and became state-effective on April 13, 2021.
The changes update the Georgia SIP to remove obsolete references,
requirements, and terminology, and update terminology to reflect
advances in technology. These proposed changes include removing and
revising definitions applicable to the Georgia I/M Regulation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ EPA officially received Georgia's I/M SIP revision request
on May 4, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Georgia's April 30, 2021, SIP revisions sought to modify the
following sections of the Georgia's SIP-approved I/M Regulation: Rule
391-3-20-.01--``Definitions''; Rule 391-3-20-.04--``Emission Inspection
Procedures''; Rule 391-3-20-.05--``Emission Standards''; Rule 391-3-
20-.07--``Inspection Equipment System Specifications''; Rule 391-3-
20-.09--``Inspection Station
[[Page 57835]]
Requirements''; and Rule 391-3-20-.11--``Inspector Qualifications and
Certification.''
On July 11, 2022, EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) to propose approval of the aforementioned changes to Georgia's
SIP. See 87 FR 41080. EPA's July 11, 2022, NPRM includes further detail
on the changes made in Georgia's April 30, 2021, submittal as well as
EPA's rationale for approving these changes to the SIP. Comments were
due on the July 11, 2022, NPRM on or before August 10, 2022, and EPA
received no comments on that proposal. Therefore, EPA is approving the
changes in this final action.
II. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, and as discussed in Section I of this preamble, EPA is finalizing
the incorporation by reference of Georgia Rules 391-3-20-.01--
Definitions; 391-3-20-.04--Emission Inspection Procedures; 391-3-
20-.05--Emission Standards; 391-3-20-.07--Inspection Equipment System
Specifications; 391-3-20-.09--Inspection Station Requirements; and 391-
3-20-.11--Inspector Qualifications and Certification, all of which have
an effective date of April 13, 2021, into the Georgia SIP. EPA has made
and will continue to make these materials generally available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 4 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information). Therefore, the revised materials
as stated above, have been approved by EPA for inclusion in the State
implementation plan, have been incorporated by reference by EPA into
that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113
of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of EPA's
approval, and will be incorporated by reference in the next update to
the SIP compilation.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Final Action
EPA is taking final action approving changes to the Georgia SIP
that were provided to EPA in a cover letter dated April 30, 2021. GA
EPD submitted changes to Georgia's Rule 391-3-20--Enhanced Inspection
and Maintenance (``Georgia I/M Regulation''), which were adopted by the
GA DNR Board of Directors and became state-effective on April 13, 2021.
Specifically, Georgia's April 30, 2021, SIP revisions modify the
following sections of the Georgia's SIP-approved I/M Regulation: Rule
391-3-20-.01--Definitions; Rule 391-3-20-.04 --Emission Inspection
Procedures; Rule 391-3-20-.05--Emission Standards; Rule 391-3-20-.07--
Inspection Equipment System Specifications; Rule 391-3-20-.09--
Inspection Station Requirements; and Rule 391-3-20-.11--Inspector
Qualifications and Certification.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. This action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by November 21, 2022. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).
