Air Plan Approval; Georgia; Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance
Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve 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) on April 30, 2021.
The revisions remove obsolete references and provisions, update and
clarify the State's inspection and maintenance (I/M) requirements, and
update terminology, in part to reflect advances in test and vehicle
technology. EPA has evaluated the SIP revisions and has preliminarily
determined the changes will not increase emissions under the Georgia I/
M program. EPA is proposing to approve these changes pursuant to the
Clean Air Act (CAA).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What is the background of Georgia's SIP-approved I/M program?

    The CAA requires areas that are designated as moderate, serious,
severe, or extreme ozone nonattainment areas to establish a motor
vehicle I/M program to ensure regular monitoring of gasoline fueled
motor vehicle emissions. See CAA sections 182(b)(4), (c)(3). The
required monitoring is performed by periodic emissions testing of
vehicles. See CAA sections 182(a)(2)(B), (c)(3). This emissions testing
ensures that vehicles are well maintained, operating as designed, and
do not exceed established vehicle pollutant limits. A basic I/M program
is required for moderate ozone nonattainment areas, and an enhanced I/M
program is required for serious, severe, or extreme ozone nonattainment
areas.
    In 1991, EPA classified a 13-county area in and around the Atlanta,
Georgia, metropolitan area as a serious ozone nonattainment area for
the 1979 1-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS),
triggering the requirement for the State to establish an

enhanced I/M program for this area.\1\ In 1996, Georgia submitted its
enhanced I/M program to EPA for incorporation into the SIP. EPA granted
interim approval of the State's program in 1997. See 62 FR 42916
(August 11, 1997). A few years later, EPA granted full approval.\2\ See
65 FR 4133 (January 26, 2000). Despite this, the 13-county area failed
to attain the 1-hour ozone NAAQS by November 15, 1999. EPA issued a
final rulemaking action (68 FR 55469) on September 26, 2003, to
reclassify the area to a severe ozone nonattainment area. Subsequently,
this area attained the 1-hour ozone NAAQS, and thus EPA redesignated
the nonattainment area to attainment for the 1-hour ozone NAAQS. See 70
FR 34660 (June 15, 2005). On April 30, 2004, EPA issued a final
rulemaking action (69 FR 23951) to revoke the 1979 1-hour ozone NAAQS,
effective June 15, 2005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On November 6, 1991, EPA designated and classified the
following counties in and around the Atlanta, Georgia, metropolitan
area as a serious ozone nonattainment area for the 1-hour ozone
NAAQS: Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette,
Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Paulding, and Rockdale. See 56 FR
56694.
    \2\ Since granting full approval for the State's I/M program,
EPA has approved several SIP revisions concerning the State's I/M
program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 18, 1997 (62 FR 38856), EPA established an 8-hour ozone
NAAQS and subsequently designated areas. On April 30, 2004 (69 FR
23858), EPA designated a 20-county area in and around metropolitan
Atlanta as a marginal ozone nonattainment area for the 1997 8-hour
ozone NAAQS.\3\ EPA reclassified this area as a moderate ozone
nonattainment area on March 6, 2008 (73 FR 12013), because the area
failed to attain the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS by the required attainment
date of June 15, 2007. Subsequently, the area attained the 1997 8-hour
ozone standard, and on December 2, 2013 (78 FR 72040), EPA redesignated
the counties to attainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The nonattainment area for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard
consisted of the following counties: Barrow, Bartow, Carroll,
Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth,
Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry, Newton, Paulding, Rockdale, Spalding,
and Walton.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On March 12, 2008, EPA revised the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. See 73 FR
16436 (March 27, 2008). EPA designated a 15-county area in and around
metropolitan Atlanta as a marginal ozone nonattainment area for the
2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS on April 30, 2012 (effective July 20, 2012).\4\
See 77 FR 30088 (May 21, 2012). EPA reclassified these counties as a
moderate ozone nonattainment area on April 11, 2016 (effective June 3,
2016), because the area failed to attain the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS by
the required attainment date of July 20, 2015. See 81 FR 26697 (May 4,
2016). Subsequently, the area attained the 2008 8-hour ozone standard
and EPA redesignated the counties to attainment for the 2008 8-hour
ozone NAAQS. See 82 FR 25523 (June 2, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The nonattainment area for the 2008 8-hour ozone standard
consisted of the following counties: Bartow, Cherokee, Clayton,
Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett,
Henry, Newton, Paulding, and Rockdale.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On October 1, 2015, EPA again revised the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. See
80 FR 65291 (October 26, 2015). EPA designated a 7-county area in and
around metropolitan Atlanta as a marginal ozone nonattainment area for
the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS on April 30, 2018 (effective August 3,
2018).\5\ See 83 FR 25776 (June 4, 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The nonattainment area for the 2015 8-hour ozone standard
consists of the following counties: Bartow, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb,
Fulton, Gwinnett, and Henry.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Background on EPA's I/M Program

    After the 1990 amendments, the CAA required EPA to set guidelines
for states in designing and running I/M programs.\6\ The guidelines
were required to distinguish between basic and enhanced I/M programs
and clarify how states must meet minimum I/M design requirements set by
the CAA. One of the minimum design requirements included Onboard
Diagnostic (OBD) system checks as a part of periodic inspections. This
design requirement applied to both basic and enhanced I/M programs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See 182(a)(2)(B)(ii); David Sosnowski, Edward Gardetto,
Performing Onboard Diagnostic System Checks as a Part of a Vehicle
Inspection and Maintenance Program, EPA 420-R-01-015, June 2001.
This document is available at https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPdf.cgi?Dockey=P1002KRN.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In November of 1992, EPA published an I/M rule at 40 CFR part 51
subpart S. At the time of promulgation however, federal standards for
OBD certification had not been published. As a stopgap, EPA reserved
sections in the 1992 rule for the CAA's OBD-I/M requirement based on
the understanding that these sections would be amended in the future. A
federal requirement to incorporate OBD into new vehicles began with the
1994 model year. However, manufacturers could request waivers on
vehicles for model years 1994-95, so full compliance for light-duty
cars and trucks sold in the United States was not required until model
year 1996.
    EPA published amendments to the 1992 I/M rule that created OBD-I/M
requirements for I/M performance standards and I/M SIPs on August 6,
1996. These amendments included the following requirements: data
collection, summary reporting, and analysis requirements for the OBD-I/
M testing element. Additionally, the amendments established OBD test
equipment requirements, the OBD test result reporting format, and
identified conditions to determine if a test resulted in an OBD-I/M
pass, failure, or rejection. Finally, these amendments established OBD-
I/M as an official performance warranty short test under section 207(b)
of the Act by revising 40 CFR part 85, subpart W.
    In August 2000, EPA published a study evaluating the use of OBD to
detect vehicle malfunctions that caused increased emissions.\7\ In this
study, EPA concluded that the OBD technology is a viable I/M test for
1996 and newer vehicles. The magnitude of emissions reductions
available from basing repairs on OBD were found to be at least as
large, if not greater than those resulting from available I/M tailpipe
tests. In direct comparison to the IM240,\8\ the study found that OBD
technology offered a better ability to identify vehicles with tailpipe
emissions that exceed certified standards. With some exceptions, the
study found that OBD identified the same vehicles as IM240, but
additionally identified components which have degraded and may cause
future emissions problems. By identifying and repairing these
components early, OBD was found to provide a type of preventative
maintenance that extended the long-term durability of expensive
components (catalytic converter, fuel injectors, oxygen sensors,
transmissions). Additionally, repairs based on OBD testing effectively
returned vehicles to their proper operating conditions and for a
majority, returned tailpipe emissions to below certification levels.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Edward Gardetto, Ted Trimble, Evaluation of On-Board
Diagnostics for Use in Detecting Malfunctioning and High Emitting
Vehicles, EPA 420-R-00-13, August 2000. This document is available
at https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPDF.cgi/P1002KM8.PDF?Dockey=P1002KM8.PDF.
    \8\ The IM240 test is a test that measures emissions while the
vehicle is driven on a dynamometer. The vehicle is operated over
different speeds to resemble typical city driving and includes tests
of the vehicle's acceleration and deceleration. The IM240 test
captures the entire exhaust stream emitted during the test and
measures the total mass of emissions from the vehicle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. What is being proposed?

    EPA is proposing to approve changes to the Georgia SIP that were
provided to EPA through a cover letter dated April

30, 2021.\9\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ EPA officially received Georgia's I/M SIP revisions on May
4, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With regards to revisions to SIPs, CAA section 110(l) provides that
EPA shall not approve a revision to a plan if the revision would
interfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment and
reasonable further progress (as defined in CAA Section 171), or any
other applicable requirement of the CAA. Section 193 of the CAA
provides, in part, that:

    No control requirement in effect, or required to be adopted by
an order, settlement agreement, or plan in effect before November
16, 1990, in any area for any air pollutant may be modified after
November 15, 1990, in any manner unless the modification insures
equivalent or greater emission reductions of such air pollutant.

    The proposed changes remove obsolete references and provisions,
update and clarify the State's inspection and maintenance (I/M)
requirements, and update terminology, in part to reflect advances in
test and vehicle technology. EPA believes the proposed changes
submitted by Georgia will not lead to any increases of any NAAQS
pollutant and will not otherwise interfere with any CAA applicable
requirement. Additional detail on the changes and EPA's analysis is
contained in Section IV, below.

IV. State's Submittal and EPA's Analysis

    Georgia's April 30, 2021, SIP submittal modifies the following
sections of 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.'' EPA's analysis of these changes is
provided in sections IV.A through IV.F.
    Georgia's current SIP-approved I/M regulation covers all gasoline-
powered light duty trucks and vehicles 24 model years old and newer.
See Georgia Rule 391-3-20-.03(1); 62 FR 42916 (August 11, 1997). This
means the I/M program currently applies to all gasoline-powered light
duty trucks and vehicles with a model year of 1998 or later.
    Georgia's current SIP-approved I/M regulation also has specific
testing requirements. As mentioned above, all light-duty vehicles and
trucks with model years of 1996 or newer are federally required to have
an OBD system. As a result, Georgia's SIP-approved rule requires OBD
testing for ``newer'' vehicles and Acceleration Simulation Mode (ASM)
\10\ or 2-speed idle (TSI) \11\ tailpipe testing on ``older'' vehicles.
The SIP-approved Georgia rule defines ``older vehicles'' as those with
a designated model year of 1995 and older and ``newer vehicles'' as
those with a designated model year of 1996 and newer. See Georgia Rules
391-3-20-.01(mm) and (kk), respectively. As discussed further in this
section of the notice, the terms ``older vehicles'' and ``newer
vehicles'' are obsolete because Georgia's SIP-approved I/M program only
applies to light duty trucks and vehicles that are 24 model years old
and newer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ ASM testing is testing that uses a dynamometer so that the
vehicle can be tested under load. The ASM test accelerates the
vehicle to 15 miles per hour (mph) with 50% of the vehicle's
horsepower, and a second portion of the test accelerates the vehicle
to 25 mph with 25% of the vehicle's horsepower. This test is
performed while an exhaust gas analyzer measures the vehicle's
levels of nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbon, and carbon monoxide during
acceleration.
    \11\ The TSI test is an exhaust emission test where the vehicle
is run at an idle revolutions per minute (RPM) speed, and then a
higher RPM speed. An analyzer measures the tailpipe exhaust
emissions of the vehicles at both settings to determine compliance
with motor vehicle emission standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Rule 391-3-20-.01, ``Definitions''

    Georgia's SIP revisions include the following changes to Rule 391-
3-20-.01. All other definitions in this Rule were renumbered
accordingly to reflect the changes below.
1. Acceleration Simulation Mode 2525/5015 Exhaust Emission Test
    The submittal deletes the term ``Acceleration Simulation Mode 2525/
5015 exhaust emission test (ASM test)'' from Rule 391-3-20-.01 as the
test is now obsolete. EPA's I/M program requirements stipulate that
state and local agencies are free to design their testing protocol as
they choose, provided they meet the appropriate performance standard.
See 40 CFR 51.351(d). EPA approved Georgia's I/M Program SIP revision
stipulating that the program would cover all gasoline-powered light
duty trucks and vehicles 24 model years old and newer in 1997. See 62
FR 42916 (August 11, 1997). As a result, Georgia's I/M program is only
required to cover vehicles with a model year of 1998 and later. See
Georgia Rule 391-3-20-.03(1). The SIP-approved Georgia rules require
ASM or TSI testing on ``older'' vehicles and OBD testing for ``newer''
vehicles.\12\ See Georgia Rules 391-3-20-.04(2)(b) and .04(2)(a),
respectively. Because Georgia's I/M program only covers vehicles with a
model year of 1998 or newer currently, the provisions of the SIP-
approved rule that require ASM testing for older vehicles are no longer
applicable.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ Id.
    \13\ As mentioned previously, OBD testing receives the same
emission reduction credit as other forms of enhanced testing (i.e.,
ASM or TSI) because OBD is more sensitive to problems that might
cause emissions to rise above the standard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Since the ASM requirement no longer applies to vehicles covered by
Georgia's I/M program for the reason stated above, EPA has made the
preliminary determination that the removal of this definition from Rule
391-3-20-.01(b) has no impact on emissions and is consistent with CAA
requirements.
2. Calibration
    The submittal revises the term ``Calibration'' by removing a
reference to the dynamometer, a part of the ASM test. The ASM test uses
tailpipe emissions sensing equipment that measures emissions as the
vehicle is driven under load at a steady speed on a chassis
dynamometer. As stated above, the ASM test is no longer applicable to
motor vehicles subject to Georgia's SIP-approved I/M program.
Therefore, EPA has made the preliminary determination that this
revision to Rule 391-3-20-.01(c) has no impact on emissions and is
consistent with CAA requirements.
3. Exhaust Emission Test
    The submittal revises the term ``Exhaust Emissions Test'' by
removing a reference to the ASM test. As stated above, the ASM test is
no longer applicable to motor vehicles subject to the I/M program. An
exhaust emission test, when conducted, will now use the TSI test
instead of the ASM test to determine the amount of specified gases in a
vehicle's exhaust. Inspectors may use the TSI test on non-OBD equipped
vehicles when prompted by the Georgia Analyzer System (GAS).\14\
Additionally, inspectors must continue to use the TSI test on
grandfathered vehicles. EPA has made the preliminary determination that
this revision to Rule 391-3-20-.01(r) has no impact on emissions and is
consistent with CAA requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ For the few vehicles with model years 1996 or newer that
are not equipped with OBD, Georgia does not currently require an
emissions test.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Malfunction Indicator Light
    The submittal revises the term ``Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)'' by

replacing the term ``newer'' with ``OBD equipped'' to describe vehicles
with an MIL. A MIL is a light on the dashboard of OBD equipped vehicles
that notifies the driver that an emission related fault has been
detected and the vehicle should be repaired as soon as possible. The
word ``newer'' previously referred to vehicles with a model year of
1996 or later and is now obsolete because the I/M program only covers
those vehicles with a designated model year of 1998 or later. EPA has
made the preliminary determination that this revision to Rule 391-3-
20-.01(jj) has no impact on emissions and is consistent with CAA
requirements.
5. Newer Vehicles
    The submittal deletes the term ``Newer Vehicles,'' which refers to
vehicles with a designated model year of 1996 and newer, as it is
obsolete. All vehicles covered under Georgia's SIP-approved I/M program
are necessarily those with a designated model year later than 1996 as
the program only covers vehicles as far back as 24 model years old or
newer. See Georgia Rule 391-3-20-.03(1). Currently, Georgia's I/M
program covers those vehicles with a model year of 1998 or newer. As a
result, the rules no longer need to distinguish between ``older'' and
``newer'' vehicles since the I/M program only covers those vehicles
with a designated model year of 1998 or later. EPA has made the
preliminary determination that the removal of this definition from Rule
391-3-20-.01(kk) has no impact on emissions and is consistent with CAA
requirements.
6. Older Vehicles
    The submittal deletes the term ``Older Vehicles,'' which means
vehicles with a designated model year of 1995 and older, as it is
obsolete. As mentioned above, the only vehicles covered under Georgia's
SIP-approved I/M program currently are those with a designated model
year of 1998 or later. EPA has made the preliminary determination that
the removal of this definition from Rule 391-3-20-.01(mm) has no impact
on emissions and is consistent with CAA requirements.

B. Rule 391-3-20-.04, ``Emission Inspection Procedures''

    The submittal amends Rule 391-3-20-.04, ``Emission Inspection
Procedures,'' by removing obsolete language referring to outdated
requirements and inserting language referring to the OBD test.
Specifically, the submittal makes changes to distinguish what emission
inspection procedures will be used for OBD equipped vehicles versus
non-OBD equipped vehicles. It does this first in Rule 391-3-
20-.04(2)(a) by replacing the term ``newer'' with ``OBD equipped'' in
reference to vehicles subject to particular emission inspection
procedures. In 391-3-20-.04(3)(b) the term ``older'' is replaced with
``non-OBD equipped'' in reference to vehicles subject to a different
set of emission inspection procedures. These changes are appropriate
delineations between vehicles as the ``older'' and ``newer''
distinction is now obsolete for the reasons described above.
    The submittal also adds a new provision to the emission inspection
procedures for newer non-OBD equipped vehicles.\15\ Specifically, for
those non-OBD equipped vehicles that are not grandfathered in,
inspectors may use the TSI test when prompted by GAS.\16\ EPA has made
the preliminary determination that the revisions to Rule 391-3-20-.04
have no impact on emissions and are consistent with CAA requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ As mentioned previously, Georgia does not currently require
an emissions test for the few vehicles with model years 1996 or
newer that are not equipped with OBD.
    \16\ For those vehicles that are grandfathered in, inspectors
must continue to use the TSI test in lieu of the ASM test.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Rule 391-3-20-.05, ``Emission Standards''

    The submittal amends Rule 391-3-20-.05, ``Emission Standards,'' to
delete an outdated reference to the ASM test. Specifically, the
submittal deletes 391-3-20-.05(2)(b)(2), which describes the standard
under which a vehicle would pass an ASM test. As the ASM test is no
longer applicable, this provision is no longer necessary. Rule 391-3-
20-.05 is renumbered to adjust for the removal of this provision. EPA
has made the preliminary determination that this revision to Rule 391-
3-20-.05 has no impact on emissions and is consistent with CAA
requirements.

D. Rule 391-3-20-.07, ``Inspection Equipment System Specification''

    The submittal amends Rule 391-3-20-.07, ``Inspection Equipment
System Specification'' by deleting language referring to newer
vehicles, older vehicles, and the ASM test as this language is outdated
and obsolete. This is consistent with the changes to the definitions
portion of the rule which removed those terms. The ASM test is replaced
with the TSI test in 391-3-20-.07 (b) and (d) as the ASM test is no
longer applicable. The change to paragraph (b) has substantively made
it identical to SIP-approved paragraph (c), so paragraph (c) has been
removed completely. Rule 391-3-20-.07 is renumbered thereafter to
account for this change.
    The submittal also deletes language in 391-3-20-.07 that refers to
distinctions between ``newer'' and ``older'' vehicles. First, in 391-3-
20-.07(a), the submittal deletes language that gave station owners the
option to apply for a Certificate of Authorization as either a regular
inspection station or a newer-vehicle only inspection station. This
distinction is now obsolete and the Certificate of Authorization was
optional originally. Additionally, the submittal deletes language in
391-3-20-.07(d) referring to ``newer and older'' vehicles and removes a
requirement from the same provision that only applied previously to
fleet station inspection stations with respect to ``newer'' vehicles.
The removal of this language has resulted in a requirement that all
fleet inspection station owners have an EPD-approved GAS which meets
the OBD and TSI requirements of Chapter 391-3-20. EPA has made the
preliminary determination that these revisions to Rule 391-3-20-.07
have no impact on emissions and are consistent with CAA requirements.

E. Rule 391-3-20-.09, ``Inspection Station Requirements''

    The April 30, 2021, submittal amends Rule 391-3-20-.09,
``Inspection Station Requirements,'' by removing language that makes
distinctions between older and newer stations as the delineation
between older and newer vehicles is obsolete. The removal of
requirements that depended upon this distinction has resulted in two
classes of stations, regular inspection stations and fleet inspection
stations. The removal of ``Newer-Vehicle Only Inspection Stations''
will not result in any emissions impact as all vehicles that were
required to be covered by the I/M program will still be subject to
inspections under the new classes of stations. Rule 391-3-20-.09 is
renumbered to account for the removal of this section.
    In addition to the changes described above, the submittal removes
references and requirements related to the ASM test. One particular
requirement that has been removed is a requirement for inspection
station owners to provide proof of a bond or garage owner's liability
insurance for any damage to a vehicle during inspection. This
requirement was primarily directed towards damage that would be caused
using dynamometers during ASM testing. As TSI testing, which is
performed at idle instead of on a

dynamometer, will be used instead of ASM testing, the requirement is no
longer necessary because the risks that gave rise to it no longer
exist. No emissions impact will result from these changes.
    EPA has made the preliminary determination that these revisions to
Rule 391-3-20-.09 have no impact on emissions and are consistent with
CAA requirements.

F. Rule 391-3-20-.11, ``Inspector Qualifications and Certification''

    The April 30, 2021, submittal amends Rule 391-3-20-.11, ``Inspector
Qualifications and Certification,'' to remove references to ``newer''
vehicles, specifically in 391-3-20-.11(4) and (7). As described above,
the distinction between ``newer'' and ``older'' vehicles is obsolete.
The submittal specifically removes language that specifies requirements
for inspectors who hold certificates that authorize them to only work
on ``newer'' vehicles. As ``newer'' vehicle only certificates will no
longer exist, the result of this removal will mean that inspectors will
receive a certificate that authorizes them to inspect all vehicles.
    EPA has made the preliminary determination that this revision to
Rule 391-3-20-.11 has no impact on emissions and is consistent with CAA
requirements.

V. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with the requirements of 40 CFR 51.5, and as explained in Sections I
through IV of this preamble, EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference 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).

VI. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the aforementioned changes to the
Georgia SIP. Specifically, EPA is proposing to approve the changes to
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 into the Georgia SIP. EPA has made the preliminary
determination that these changes have no impact on emissions and are
consistent with CAA requirements.

VII. 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
proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and does
not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
For that reason, this proposed 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.

of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
    (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket

\a\ North American Industry Classification System.

    This table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide for readers regarding entities potentially affected by this
action.
    Title: Federal Implementation Plans under the Clean Air Act for
Indian Reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
    ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2020.05, OMB Control No. 2060-0558.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on May 31,
2011. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and are displayed
either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate
means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: EPA promulgated Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) under
the Clean Air Act for Indian reservations located in Idaho, Oregon, and
Washington in 40 CFR part 49 (70 FR 18074, April 8, 2005). The FIPs in
the final rule, also referred to as the Federal Air Rules for Indian
Reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (FARR), include
information collection requirements associated with the fugitive
particulate matter rule in Sec.  49.126, the woodwaste burner rule in
Sec.  49.127; the rule for limiting sulfur in fuels in Sec.  49.130;
the rule for open burning in Sec.  49.131; the rules for general open
burning permits, agricultural burning permits, and forestry and
silvicultural burning permits in Sec. Sec.  49.132, 49.133, and 49.134;
the registration rule in Sec.  49.138; and the rule for non-Title V
operating permits in Sec.  49.139. EPA uses this information to manage
the activities and sources of air pollution on the Indian reservations
in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. EPA believes these information
collection requirements are appropriate because they will enable EPA to
develop and maintain accurate records of air pollution sources and
their emissions, track emissions trends and changes, identify potential
air quality problems, allow EPA to issue permits or approvals, and
ensure appropriate records are available to verify compliance with
these FIPs. The information collection requirements listed above are
all mandatory. Regulated entities can assert claims of business
confidentiality and EPA will address these claims in accordance with
the provisions of 40 CFR part 2, subpart B.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3.69
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 1,694.
    Frequency of response: Annual and on occasion.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 6,245.
    Estimated total annual costs: $396,245. This includes an estimated
labor cost of $396,245, and capital investment and operation and
maintenance costs are assumed to be zero.

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    There is an increase of 1,956 hours in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase reflects adjustments to the burden
estimates for this collection using consultation input, historical
data, and experience with implementing the FARR. Some components of the
burden estimates increased and some components decreased. In most
cases, the burden estimates increased based on input from the source
consultations. For some provisions the estimates of the number of
respondents increased. Some estimates changed based on additional
information EPA has gained through implementing the rules.

What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of January 30, 1998 (63 FR 4571), FDA
published a final rule that amended 21 CFR 814.44(d) and 814.45(d) to
discontinue individual publication of PMA approvals and denials in the
Federal Register. Instead, the Agency now posts this information on the
Internet on FDA's home page at http://www.fda.gov.
    In accordance with section 515(d)(4) and (e)(2) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360e(d)(4) and
(e)(2)), notification of an order approving, denying, or withdrawing
approval of a PMA will continue to include a notice of opportunity to
request review of the order under section 515(g) of the FD&C Act. The
30-day period for requesting reconsideration of an FDA action under
Sec.  10.33(b) (21 CFR 10.33(b)) for notices announcing approval of a
PMA begins on the day the notice is placed on the Internet. Section
10.33(b) provides that FDA may, for good cause, extend this 30-day
period. Reconsideration of a denial or withdrawal of approval of a PMA
may be sought only by the applicant; in these cases, the 30-day period
will begin when the applicant is notified by FDA in writing of its
decision.
    The regulations provide that FDA publish a quarterly list of
available safety and effectiveness summaries of PMA approvals and
denials that were announced during that quarter. The following is a
list of approved PMAs for which summaries of safety and effectiveness
were placed on the Internet from January 1, 2011, through March 31,
2011. There were no denial actions during this period. The list
provides the manufacturer's name, the product's generic name or the
trade name, and the approval date.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

     1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
     2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is printing a summary of each pesticide petition received under
section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21
U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment or amendment of regulations in
40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on various
food commodities. EPA has determined that this pesticide petition
contains data or information regarding the elements set forth in FFDCA
section 408(d)(2); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency
of the submitted data at this time or whether the data support granting
of the pesticide petition. Additional data may be needed before EPA
rules on this pesticide petition.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of the petition included in
this notice, prepared by the petitioner along with a description of the
analytical method available for the detection and measurement of the
pesticide chemical residues is available on EPA's Electronic Docket at
http://www.regulations.gov/. To locate this information on the home

page of EPA's Electronic Docket, select ``Quick Search'' and type the
OPP docket ID number. Once the search has located the docket, clicking
on the ``Docket ID'' will bring up a list of all documents in the
docket for the pesticide including the petition summary.

New Tolerance

    1. PP 3E4173. Interregional Research Project No. 4 (IR-4), 681 U.
S. Highway No. 1 South, North Brunswick, NJ 08902-3390, proposes to
establish a tolerance for residues of the fungicide mancozeb in or on
food commodities Cucurbit Vegetable Crop Group 9 at 4.0 parts per
million (ppm);
    2. PP 5E4570. Mango, star apple (caimito), canistel, mamey sapote,
sapodilla, and white sapote at 15.0 ppm;
    3. PP 9E5054. Ginseng at 2.0 ppm; and
    4. PP 9E5061. Sugar apple, cherimoya, atemoya, custard apple, and
sweetsop at 3.0 ppm.
Residues of mancozeb are determined by decomposing the residue with a
strong acid to release carbon disulfide (CS2). The
CS2 can be measured by gas chromatography or by absorbance
of a colored copper dithiocarbamate complex formed by sweeping the
CS2 through a trap and into a reaction tube containing a
solution of copper acetate and an amine. Adequate methodology for
enforcement is available in the Pesticide Analytical Manual (PAM II,
Method II).

Avista Corporation; Notice of Jurisdictional Review and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests

April 14, 2008.
    Take notice that the following application has been filed with the
Commission and is available for public inspection:
    a. Application Type: Jurisdictional Review.
    b. Docket Nos: JR07-1-000 and P-2261-007.
    c. Date Filed: June 22, 2007, with supplement July 20, 2007.
    d. Applicant: Avista Corporation.
    e. Name of Project: Lolo-Divide-Creek Transmission Line.
    f. Location: The existing Lolo-Divide-Creek Transmission Line (Lolo
Line) is located near Lewiston in Nez Perce and Idaho Counties, Idaho,
and occupies lands of the United States in the Wallowa-Whitman National
Forest.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Section 23(b)(1) of the Federal Power Act, 16
U.S.C. 817(b).
    h. Applicant Contact: John A. Whittaker, IV, Winston & Strawn LLP,
1700 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20006-3817; Telephone: (202) 282-
5000; Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>; e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    i. FERC Contact: Any questions on this notice should be addressed
to Henry Ecton<PHONE_NUMBER>, or E-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    j. Deadline for filing comments and/or motions: May 14, 2008.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with:
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Comments, protests, and
interventions may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of
paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the
Commission's Web site at: http://www.ferc.gov under the ``e-Filing
link.''
    Please include the docket numbers (JR07-1-000 and P-2261-007) on
any protests, comments and/or motions filed.
    k. Description of Filing: The Avista Corporation does not intend to
seek a subsequent license for the Lolo Line because the transmission
line is not a primary line subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. As
originally licensed, FERC Project No. 2261 consists of a 231-kV
transmission line known as the Lolo-Divide Creek Transmission Line,
extending from the Lolo substation approximately 43 miles to Divide
Creek, where it connects with a similar line originating at the Oxbow
Plant of Idaho Power Company's Hells Canyon Project No. 1971. The
filing concludes that the Lolo Line is no longer a primary line, as
defined by Sec.  3(11), 16 U.S.C. 796(11) of the Federal Power Act, and
is not required to be licensed by the Commission.
    When a request for Jurisdiction Review is filed with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, the Federal Power Act requires the
Commission to investigate and determine if the interests of interstate
or foreign commerce would be affected by the project. The Commission
also determines whether or not the project: (1) Would be located on a
navigable waterway; (2) would occupy or affect public lands or
reservations of the United States; (3) would utilize surplus water or
water power from a government dam; or (4) if applicable, has involved
or would involve any construction subsequent to 1935 that may have
increased or would increase the project's head or generating capacity,
or have otherwise significantly modified the project's pre-1935 design
or operation.
    l. Locations of the Application: Copies of this filing are on file
with the Commission and are available for public inspection. This
filing may be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the
``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll-free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or TTY,

    m. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
    n. Comments, Protests, and/or Motions to Intervene--Anyone may
submit comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in accordance with
the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210,
.211, .214. In determining the appropriate action to take, the
Commission will consider all protests or other comments filed, but only
those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding. Any comments,
protests, or motions to intervene must be received on or before the
specified comment date for the particular application.
    o. Filing and Service of Responsive Documents--Any filings must
bear in all capital letters the title ``COMMENTS'', ``PROTESTS'', and/
or ``MOTIONS TO INTERVENE'', as applicable, and the Docket Number of
the particular application to which the filing refers. A copy of any
motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative of the
applicant specified in the particular application.
    p. Agency Comments--Federal, State, and local agencies are invited
to file comments on the described application. A copy of the
application may be obtained by agencies directly from the applicant. If
an agency does not file comments within the time specified for filing
comments, it will be presumed to have no comments. One copy of an
