Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans, Tennessee:
Approval of Revisions to the Nashville/Davidson County Portion of the
Tennessee SIP Regarding New Source Review, Volatile Organic Compounds
and Emergency Episodes
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve State implementation plan (SIP)
revisions submitted by the State of Tennessee for the purpose of
revising the Nashville regulations for new source review (NSR) and
volatile organic compounds (VOC) and for the purpose of adding a new
regulation for emergency episodes. The EPA proposes to disapprove the
submitted revisions to sections 7-17(c)(4)(ii) and 7-17(c)(4)(iii) of
the Nashville regulation for the
[[Page 32714]]
control of volatile organic compounds because the submitted revisions
would relax currently approved emission limits for certain operations
in the manufacture of pneumatic rubber tires. 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 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 this proposed 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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. 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: To be considered, comments must be received by July 17, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to
