40 CFR Part 52

[TN-257-200402(b); FRL-7616-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans, Tennessee: 
Knox County Maintenance Plan Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Tennessee 
State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Tennessee Department 
of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) on August 20, 2003. This SIP 
revision satisfies the requirement of the Clean Air Act as amended in 
1990 (CAA) for the 10-year update of the Knox County 1-hour ozone 
maintenance plan. 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 significant material and adverse comments are received in

[[Page 4903]]

response to this rule, 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 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 3, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by mail to: Anne Marie Hoffman, 
Regulatory Development Section, Air Planning Branch, Air, Pesticides 
and Toxics Management Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

may also be submitted electronically, or through hand delivery/courier. 
Please follow the detailed instructions described in the direct final 
rule, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION (sections I.B.1 through 3.) which is 
published in the rules section of this Federal Register.
