ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[TN-158-1-9632b; FRL-5619-5]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans: Approval of
Revisions to the Knox County Portion of the State of Tennessee's State
Implementation Plan (SIP)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan
(SIP) revision submitted by the Knox County Department of Air Pollution
Control for the purpose of allowing the local agency to utilize permit-
by-rule regulations for the purpose of limiting potential to emit air
pollutants for certain source categories to less than the title V
permitting major source thresholds. In the final rules section of this
Federal Register, EPA is approving the County's SIP revision as a
direct final rule without prior proposal because the EPA 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
that 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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. 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 November 14,
1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Scott
