ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 60

[FRL-4841-4]

 

Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, Supplemental 
Delegation of Authority to Knox County, TN

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Delegation of authority.

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

SUMMARY: On May 5, 1993, the Knox County Department of Air Pollution 
Control requested that EPA delegate authority for implementation and 
enforcement of an additional category of New Source Performance 
Standards (NSPS). Since EPA's review of Knox County's pertinent laws, 
rules, and regulations showed them to be adequate for the 
implementation and enforcement of this Federal standard, the Agency has 
made the delegation as requested.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the delegation of authority is 
May 28, 1993.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the request for delegation of authority and EPA's 
letter of delegation are available for public inspection during normal 
business hours at the following locations:

Environmental Protection Agency, Region IV, Air Programs Branch, 345 
Courtland Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30365.

Knox County Department of Air Pollution Control, City-County Building, 
Room 459, 400 West Main Avenue, Knoxville, Tennessee 37902.

    Effective immediately, all requests, applications, reports and 
other correspondence required pursuant to the newly delegated standard 
should not be submitted to the Region IV office, but should instead be 
submitted to the following address:

Knox County Department of Air Pollution Control, City-County Building, 
Room 459, 400 West Main Avenue, Knoxville, Tennessee 37902.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Randy Terry, Regulatory Planning and 
Development Section, Air Programs Branch, United States Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region IV, 345 Courtland Street NE., Atlanta, 
Georgia 30365, (404) 347-2864.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 301, in conjunction with sections 
110 and 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act as amended November 15, 1990, 
authorizes EPA to delegate authority to implement and enforce the 
standards set out in 40 CFR part 60, New Source Performance Standards 
(NSPS).
    On May 20, 1977, EPA initially delegated the authority for 
implementation and enforcement of the NSPS programs to Knox County. A 
subsequent delegation followed on December 13, 1985, in which Knox 
County requested an update of its delegation of authority for 
previously delegated NSPS regulations. On May 5, 1993, Knox County 
requested a delegation of authority for implementation and enforcement 
of the following NSPS category found in 40 CFR part 60.
    1. Standard of Performance for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral 
Industries, as specified in 40 CFR part 60, subpart UUU, as amended at 
57 FR 44496 (September 28, 1992), as adopted April 29, 1993.
    After a thorough review of the request, the Regional Administrator 
determined that such a delegation was appropriate for this source 
category with the conditions set forth in the original delegation 
letter of May 20, 1977. Knox County sources subject to the requirements 
of this subpart will now be under the jurisdiction of Knox County.

Action

    Since review of the pertinent Knox County laws, rules, and 
regulations showed them to be adequate for the implementation and 
enforcement of the aforementioned category of NSPS, the EPA hereby 
notifies the public that it has delegated the authority for the source 
category listed above on May 28, 1993.
    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from the 
requirements of section 6 of Executive Order 12866.

    Authority: This document is issued under the authority of 
sections 101, 110, 111, 112, and 301 of the Clean Air Act, as 
Amended (42 U.S.C. 7401, 7410, 7411, 7412, and 7601).

    Dated: February 3, 1994.
Patrick M. Tobin,
Acting Regional Administrator.
