ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[TN-140-01-6910b: FRL-5443-3]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Tennessee; Revision to New Source Review, Construction and Operating 
Permit Requirements for Nashville/Davidson County

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve revisions to the Nashville/
Davidson County portion of the Tennessee State Implementation Plan 
(SIP), submitted by the State of Tennessee through the Tennessee 
Department of Environment and Conservation on September 27, 1994. These 
include revisions to Nashville/Davidson County's new source review 
(NSR) regulations, which were made to bring the Nashville/Davidson 
County regulations into compliance with the 1990 amendments to the 
Clean Air Act (the Act) and the Federal regulations. 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 revision amendment 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 proposed rule, no further activity is 
contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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: To be considered, comments must be received by May 2, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Ms. Karen Borel, at 
the Regional Office Address listed below.
