Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of the Redesignation of 
Shelby County, TN, to Attainment for Lead

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan 
submitted on February 15, 2001, by the Memphis and Shelby County Health 
Department through the Tennessee Department of Environment and 
Conservation for the purpose of redesignating Shelby County from 
nonattainment to attainment for the lead national ambient air quality 
standard. 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 June 4. 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Kimberly Bingham, at 
the EPA Regional Office listed below. The interested persons wanting to 
examine these documents should make an appointment with the appropriate 
office at least 24 hours before the visiting day. Copies of the 
documents relative to this action are available for public inspection 
during normal business hours at the following locations.
    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, Atlanta Federal 
Center, Air, Pesticides, and Toxics Management Division, 61 Forsyth
