ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[TN-184-1-(9812)b; TN-199-1-(9813)b; FRL-6103-9]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Tennessee:
Approval of Revisions to the Knox County Portion of the Tennessee SIP
Regarding Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Process Particulate
Emissions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to section 19.2 and
section 46.2.A.34 of the Knox County portion of the Tennessee State
Implementation Plan (SIP) which were submitted to EPA through the
Tennessee Department of Air Pollution Control (TDAPC), on December 24,
1996 and June 18, 1997. Section 19.2 is revised to include terminology
which more clearly defines the subject matter of this section: process
particulate emissions. Section 46.2.A.34 is revised to incorporate by
reference the definition for volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
contained in 40 CFR part 51, subpart F.
In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is
approving the Knox County portion of the Tennessee State Implementation
Plan (SIP) 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 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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 8, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to
