ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[TN 183-1-9824b; FRL-6204-3]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans For Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants: Tennessee

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the Section 111(d)/129 State Plans for 
Nashville/Davidson County submitted by the State of Tennessee, through 
the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), on 
December 24, 1996, for implementing and enforcing the Emissions 
Guidelines applicable to existing Municipal Waste Combustors (MWCs) 
with capacity to combust more than 250 tons per day of municipal solid 
waste (MSW) and existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. The plans 
were submitted by the State to satisfy certain federal Clean Air Act 
requirements. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA 
is approving the State plan submittal as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
submittal and anticipates that it will not receive any significant, 
material, and adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval 
is set forth in the direct final rule and incorporated by reference 
herein. If no significant, material, and 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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments 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. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this 
action.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
January 19, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Steven M. Scofield 
at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents 
relevant to this proposed rule are available for public inspection 
during normal business hours at the following locations. The interested 
persons wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment 
with the appropriate office at least 24 hours before the day of the 
visit.
