ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[TN-227-1-200001b; FRL-6539-7]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants; Tennessee; Approval of 111(d) Plan for 
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills in Knox County

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the section 111(d) Plan for Knox 
County submitted by the State of Tennessee, through the Tennessee 
Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) on July 29, 1999, for 
implementing and enforcing the Emissions Guidelines applicable to 
existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. The Plan was submitted by the 
Tennessee DEC to satisfy certain Federal Clean Air Act requirements. In 
the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving 
the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Plan submittal 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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments 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 March 24, 2000.

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

addresses for inspection during normal business hours:
