ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[TN 119-1-6379b; TN 172-1-9639b; FRL-5540-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Tennessee: 
Approval of Revisions to the Tennessee State Implementation Plan 
Regarding Prevention of Significant Deterioration

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is approving revisions to the Tennessee State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Tennessee on 
September 1, 1993, and June 10, 1996. These revisions pertain to the 
Construction Permit chapter. The purpose of these revisions is to 
correct certain deficiencies to satisfy the requirements of the Clean 
Air Act (CAA) concerning Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD).
    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 EPA 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 August 28, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr. 
Scott M. Martin at the EPA Regional Office listed below.

public inspection during normal business hours at the following
