ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[TN-105-1-9949b; TN-209-1-9950b; FRL-6469-3]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Tennessee: 
Approval of Revisions to Knox County portion of Tennessee 
Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State implementation plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Tennessee for the purpose of 
revising the rule for exceptions to the open burning and permits 
regulations for the Knox County portion of the Tennessee SIP. In the 
Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the 
State's 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 document. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before December 6, 1999.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to Steven M. Scofield at 
the EPA, Region 4 Air Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, 
Georgia 30303.
