ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[TN-204-1-9913b; FRL-6326-8]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Tennessee:
Approval of Revisions to the Memphis Ozone Maintenance Plan
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan
(SIP) revisions to the Memphis and Shelby County Health Department
(MSCHD) ozone (O3) maintenance plan submitted by the State
of Tennessee, through the Tennessee Department of Environment and
Conservation (TDEC), on September 18, 1997, with supplemental
information submitted on June 30, 1998. The MSCHD revised their
O3 maintenance plan by adding new tables which correct
errors made in the original base year inventory and maintenance plan.
These corrections impact the transportation conformity budget for the
greater Memphis Metropolitan Statistical Area. In the Final rules
section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the Tennessee
SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal 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 action, no further activity is contemplated. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 action. Any parties interested in commenting on
this action should do so at this time.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before May 20, 1999.
ADDRESSES: You should address comments on this action to Steven M.
Scofield at the EPA, Region 4 Air Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth Street,
SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303.
