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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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.
