ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 60

[FRL-5081-5]

 

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 June 2, 1994, the Knox County Department of Air Pollution 
Control requested that EPA delegate authority for implementation and 
enforcement of additional categories of New Source Performance 
Standards (NSPS). Since EPA's review of Knox County's pertinent laws, 
rules, and regulations showed them to be adequate and effective 
procedures for the implementation and enforcement of these Federal 
standards, EPA has made the delegation as requested.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the delegation of authority is 
July 28, 1994.

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 339, 400 West Main Avenue, Knoxville, Tennessee 37902.

    Effective immediately, all requests, applications, reports and 
other correspondence required pursuant to the newly delegated standards 
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 339, 400 West Main 
Avenue, Knoxville, Tennessee 37902.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen C. Borel, Regulatory Planning 
and Development Section, Air Programs Branch, United States 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region IV, 345 Courtland Street NE., 
Atlanta, Georgia 30365, (404) 347-3555, x4197.

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 June 2, 1994, Knox County 
requested a delegation of authority for implementation and enforcement 
of the following NSPS categories found in 40 CFR part 60.
    1. Standard of Performance for Metal Coil Surface Coating 
Operations, as specified in 40 CFR 60, Subpart TT, as amended by 51 FR 
22938, June 24, 1986, as adopted May 25, 1994, except Sec. 60.466(d).
    2. Standard of Performance for Petroleum Dry Cleaners, as specified 
in 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJ, as amended by 50 FR 49026 (November 27, 
1985), as adopted May 25, 1994.
    3. Standard of Performance for Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) 
Emissions from the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry 
(SOCMI) Reactor Processes, as amended by 58 FR 45948 (August 31, 1993), 
as specified in 40 CFR 60, Subpart RRR, and as adopted May 25, 1994, 
except Sec. 60.703(e).
    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.
    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 July 28, 1994. The Office of Management and 
Budget has exempted this rule from the requirements of section 6 of 
Executive Order 12866.

    Authority: This notice 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: September 1, 1994.
Patrick M. Tobin,
Acting Regional Administrator.
