Approval and Promulgation; Georgia Transportation Conformity 
State Implementation Plan Memorandum of Agreement for the Atlanta 
Metropolitan Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: . EPA is promulgating one correction to its previous approval 
of the transportation conformity State Implementation Plan (SIP) for 
Atlanta, Georgia promulgated on April 7, 2000 (65 FR 18249). In the 
Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the 
State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and 
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval 
is set forth in the direct final rule. If no significant, material, and 
adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no further 
activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct 
final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this rule. The EPA will 
not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before October 28, 2002.
