SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990, enables the
EPA to approve state air toxic programs or rules to operate in place of
the Federal air toxic program. Approval is granted by the EPA if the
Agency finds that the state program or rule: (1) Is ``no less
stringent'' than the corresponding Federal rule or program, (2)
provides adequate authority and resources, (3) schedule for
implementation and compliance is sufficiently expeditious, and (4) is
otherwise in compliance with Federal guidance.
B. This is an initial request for delegation under the provisions
of 40 CFR part 63, subpart E. No previous delegation of rules or
regulations pursuant to title III of the Clean Air Act has been
approved.
The changes from the federal rule, 40 CFR part 63, subpart M, are:
(1) The lowering of a required emission rate; (2) An increase in the
frequency of required monitoring; and (3) A decrease in the amount of
time allowed for a source to come into compliance. These changes occur
in subsections 4-10(b)(23); 4-10(c)(10); and 4-10(a) of the
Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County's Regulation
No. 4.
EPA is approving the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and
Davidson County's air toxics Regulation No. 4, Section 4-10, as a
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this
as a noncontroversial delegation request and anticipates no adverse
comments. If no adverse comments are received in response to this
direct final 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 action. Any
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this
time.
List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 63

substances, Incorporation by reference, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.
Authority: This action is issued under the authority of Title
III of the Clean Air Act as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2399.
