ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2010-0150-201009(b); FRL-9138-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans: Tennessee; 
Visibility Impairment Prevention for Federal Class I Areas; Removal of 
Federally Promulgated Provisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to remedy an inadvertent omission in the 
Tennessee State Implementation Plan (SIP) regarding visibility in 40 
CFR 52.2234. EPA approved Tennessee's visibility rules addressing new 
source review on July 18, 1996, and a plan addressing monitoring and 
reporting of visibility on July 2, 1997. EPA's approval of these rules 
neglected to remove the previous federally promulgated provisions from 
the Federal Implementation Plan contained in 40 CFR 52.2234. EPA is 
proposing to correct this omission in this rulemaking. 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 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.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before May 21, 2010.

this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document
