ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[TN-160-9624b; FRL-5831-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans, 
Tennessee; Approval of Revisions To Permit Requirements, Definitions, 
Exemptions, and Internal Combustion Engines Regulations

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, and the exemptions. Also included was a revision 
to the regulations for internal combustion engines. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 June 30, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Karen 
Borel, at the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4 Air Planning 
Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, GA, 30303. Copies of the
