Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Georgia;

Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment New Source

Review Rules; Extension of Comment Period

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Extension of public comment period.

SUMMARY: EPA is extending the comment period for a proposed rule published September 4, 2008 (73 FR 51606). On September 4, 2008, EPA proposed to partially approve and disapprove portions of revisions to the Georgia State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of

Georgia in three submittals dated October 31, 2006, March 5, 2007, and

August 22, 2007. The proposed revisions modify Georgia's Prevention of

Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment New Source Review permitting rules in the SIP to address changes to the federal New

Source Review (NSR) regulations, which were promulgated by EPA on

December 31, 2002, and reconsidered with minor changes on November 7, 2003 (collectively, these two final actions are referred to as the

``2002 NSR Reform Rules''). At the request of several commentors, EPA is extending the comment period through November 5, 2008.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before November 5, 2008.
