Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Tennessee: 
Approval of Revisions To the Knox County Portion of the Tennessee State 
Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Tennessee State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Tennessee, through 
the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, on December 
21, 1999, March 15, 2000, and January 12, 2001. The revisions pertain 
to the Knox County portion of the Tennessee SIP and include changes to 
the Knox County Air Quality Regulations Section 13.0--``Definitions'' 
and Section 22.0--``Regulation of Fugitive Dust and Materials.'' These 
revisions are part of Knox County's strategy to attain and maintain the 
national ambient air quality standards, and are considered by the TDEC 
to be at least as stringent as the State's requirements. This action is 
being taken pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act.
    In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the Tennessee SIP revisions 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 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 proposed rule. 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 February 2, 2007.
