ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[TN-146-2-9608b; FRL-5554-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Tennessee; Approval of Revisions To Permit Requirements, Definitions 
and Administrative Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the revisions to the Nashville/
Davidson County portion of the Tennessee State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) submitted by the State of Tennessee for the purpose of revising 
the current regulations for the permit requirements for major sources 
of air pollution, including revisions to the general definitions, 
permit requirements, the Board's powers and duties, the variances and 
hearings procedures, the measurement and reporting of emissions, and 
the testing procedures. 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 October 7, 1996.
