[TN-176-1-9641b; TN-177-1-9642b; FRL-5546-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Tennessee: 
Approval of Revisions to the Tennessee SIP Regarding Volatile Organic 
Compounds

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 
amending the chapter regulating volatile organic compounds (VOCs). 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 September 26, 
1996.

ADDRESSES: 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 with the appropriate office at
