[TN-233-1-20021b; FRL-6872-3]


Approval and Promulgation of the Implementation Plan for the 
Shelby County, Tennessee Lead Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
the lead state implementation plan (SIP) for the Shelby County, 
Tennessee lead nonattainment area. The Memphis and Shelby County Health 
Department through the Tennessee Department of Environment and 
Conservation submitted the lead SIP on March 17, 2000, pursuant to 
sections 110(a)(2) and 172(c) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). In the final 
rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving 
Tennessee's SIP revision as a direct final rule without a prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision 
amendment 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 the direct final 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. 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: To be considered, comments must be received by October 20, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Kimberly Bingham, at 
the EPA Regional Office listed below. The interested persons wanting to
