Approval of Source Specific Revisions to the Tennessee SIP 
Regarding Volatile Organic Compounds

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking action on three source specific revisions to the 
Tennessee State Implementation Plan (SIP) which establish reasonably 
available control technology requirements (RACT) for the control of 
volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from certain operations at 
Brunswick Marine Corporation, Outboard Marine Corporation, and Essex 
Group Incorporated. EPA is approving the operating permits for these 
sources into the SIP with the exception of the portion of one permit 
which allows the Tennessee Technical Secretary to determine RACT which 
is being disapproved. These permits were issued consistent with the 
alternate control plans which established RACT requirements in 
accordance with the provisions of the Tennessee SIP for developing VOC 
emission control requirements for major sources for which there is no 
regulation or guidance for determining RACT. In the final rules section 
of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the submitted chapter in 
its entirety as a direct-final rule without prior proposal because the 
EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 20, 1997.

ADDRESSEES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to 
William Denman at the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4 Air 
Planning Branch, 100 Alabama Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Copies
