ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[TN-184-1-(9812)b; TN-199-1-(9813)b; FRL-6103-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Tennessee: 
Approval of Revisions to the Knox County Portion of the Tennessee SIP 
Regarding Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Process Particulate 
Emissions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to section 19.2 and 
section 46.2.A.34 of the Knox County portion of the Tennessee State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) which were submitted to EPA through the 
Tennessee Department of Air Pollution Control (TDAPC), on December 24, 
1996 and June 18, 1997. Section 19.2 is revised to include terminology 
which more clearly defines the subject matter of this section: process 
particulate emissions. Section 46.2.A.34 is revised to incorporate by 
reference the definition for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 
contained in 40 CFR part 51, subpart F.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the Knox County portion of the Tennessee State Implementation 
Plan (SIP) as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
EPA 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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 July 8, 1998.

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