ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[TN-207-1-9924b; TN-214-1-9925b; FRL-6379-3]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Tennessee: 
Approval of Revisions to the Tennessee SIP Regarding National Emission 
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants and Volatile Organic Compounds

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Tennessee on June 16, 1998 
and February 11, 1999, for the purposes of establishing a definition 
for national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants in Rule 
1200-3-2-.01 and incorporating by reference the definition for volatile 
organic compounds contained in 40 CFR part 51, subpart F into Rule 
1200-3-9-.01. In the 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 adverse comments 
are received in response to this action, 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 proposed 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 August 18, 1999.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Allison Humphris at the 
EPA, Region 4 Air Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, 
Georgia 30303.
