§52.569 Conditional approval.
Georgia submitted a letter to EPA on November 14, 2019, with a commitment to address the State Implementation Plan deficiencies regarding the PSD-related requirements of CAA sections 110(a)(2)(C), 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (Prong 3), and 110(a)(2)(J) for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS. EPA conditionally approved these portions of Georgia's September 24, 2018 infrastructure SIP submission in an action published in the Federal Register on April 15, 2020. If Georgia fails to meet its commitment by April 15, 2021, the conditional approval will become a disapproval on that date and EPA will issue a notification to that effect.
[85 FR 20838, April 15, 2020]

On September 9, 2011 Georgia's PSD Rule 391-3-1-.02(7) incorporates by reference the regulations found at 40 CFR 52.21 as of June 3, 2010, with changes. This EPA action is approving the incorporation by reference with the exception of the following provisions: (1) The provisions amended in the Ethanol Rule which exclude facilities that produce ethanol through a natural fermentation process from the definition of “chemical process plants” in the major NSR source permitting program found at 40 CFR 52.21(b)(1)(i)(a) and (b)(1)(iii)(t); and (2) the administrative regulations amended in the Fugitive Emissions Rule. Additionally, this EPA action is not approving the “automatic rescission clause” provision at 391-3-1.02(7)(a)2.(iv). This rule contains NOX as a precursor to ozone for PSD and NSR. | ||||

§52.572 Approval status.
(a) With the exceptions set forth in this subpart, the Administrator approves Georgia's plans for the attainment and maintenance of the national standards under section 110 of the Clean Air Act. Furthermore, the Administrator finds the plans satisfy all requirements of Part D, Title I, of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1977.
