          September 9, 2011(76 FR 55572)—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 (72 FR 24060) 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 (73 FR 77882). 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.
