40 CFR Part 52

[TN-155-1-7178; TN-MEM-149-3-970; FRL-5669-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of 
Tennessee and Memphis-Shelby County, Tennessee

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the State of Tennessee and by Memphis-Shelby 
County for the purpose of establishing a federally enforceable state 
operating permit (FESOP) program and a federally enforceable local 
operating permit (FELOP) program. In order to extend the Federal 
enforceability of Tennessee's FESOP and Memphis-Shelby County's FELOP 
to hazardous air pollutants (HAP), EPA is also proposing approval of 
the State's FESOP and County's FELOP regulations pursuant to section 
112 of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA). In the final rules 
section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving Tennessee's and 
Memphis-Shelby County's SIP revisions as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as noncontroversial 
revision amendments and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed 
rationale for the approvals is set forth in the direct final rule. If 
no adverse comments are received in response to that direct final 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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. EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this approval action. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: To be considered, comments must be received by March 17, 1997.
