Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans, Tennessee: 
Approval of Revisions to the Tennessee State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On March 17, 1997, and May 8, 1997, the State of Tennessee, 
through the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation 
(TDEC), submitted revisions to the Tennessee State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). The revisions pertain to Sulfur Dioxide Emission Regulations for 
the New Johnsonville and Copper Basin Additional Control Areas.
    In the Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the 
Tennessee State Plan submittal as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal 
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, 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 final rule 
based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before October 13, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Scott Martin at the 
EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant to 
this proposed rule are available for public inspection during normal 
business hours at the following locations. The interested persons 
wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment with the 
appropriate office at least 24 hours before the day of the visit.
