40 CFR Part 52

[TN-111-1-7094b; FRL-5442-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Tennessee: 
Revisions to Chattanooga/Hamilton County Regulations for Definitions of 
Ambient Air Standards for Particulate Matter

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State implementation plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Tennessee for the purpose of 
incorporating changes to regulations for ambient air standards for 
particulate matter and changes to several definitions in the 
Chattanooga/Hamilton County portion of the Tennessee SIP. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 3, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Karen 
Borel, at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents 
relative to this action are available for public inspection during 
normal business hours at the following locations. The interested 
persons wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment
