Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, Supplemental

Delegation of Authority to Knox County, TN

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Delegation of authority.

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

SUMMARY: On May 5, 1993, the Knox County Department of Air Pollution

Control requested that EPA delegate authority for implementation and

enforcement of an additional category of New Source Performance

Standards (NSPS). Since EPA's review of Knox County's pertinent laws,

rules, and regulations showed them to be adequate for the

implementation and enforcement of this Federal standard, the Agency has

made the delegation as requested.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the delegation of authority is

May 28, 1993.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the request for delegation of authority and EPA's

letter of delegation are available for public inspection during normal

business hours at the following locations:

Environmental Protection Agency, Region IV, Air Programs Branch, 345

Courtland Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30365.

Knox County Department of Air Pollution Control, City-County Building,

Room 459, 400 West Main Avenue, Knoxville, Tennessee 37902.

Effective immediately, all requests, applications, reports and

other correspondence required pursuant to the newly delegated standard

should not be submitted to the Region IV office, but should instead be

submitted to the following address:

Knox County Department of Air Pollution Control, City-County Building,

Room 459, 400 West Main Avenue, Knoxville, Tennessee 37902.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Randy Terry, Regulatory Planning and

Development Section, Air Programs Branch, United States Environmental

Protection Agency, Region IV, 345 Courtland Street NE., Atlanta,

Georgia 30365, (404) 347-2864.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 301, in conjunction with sections

110 and 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act as amended November 15, 1990,

authorizes EPA to delegate authority to implement and enforce the

standards set out in 40 CFR part 60, New Source Performance Standards

(NSPS).

On May 20, 1977, EPA initially delegated the authority for

implementation and enforcement of the NSPS programs to Knox County. A

subsequent delegation followed on December 13, 1985, in which Knox

County requested an update of its delegation of authority for

previously delegated NSPS regulations. On May 5, 1993, Knox County

requested a delegation of authority for implementation and enforcement

of the following NSPS category found in 40 CFR part 60.

1. Standard of Performance for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral

Industries, as specified in 40 CFR part 60, subpart UUU, as amended at

57 FR 44496 (September 28, 1992), as adopted April 29, 1993.

After a thorough review of the request, the Regional Administrator

determined that such a delegation was appropriate for this source

category with the conditions set forth in the original delegation

letter of May 20, 1977. Knox County sources subject to the requirements

of this subpart will now be under the jurisdiction of Knox County.

Action

Since review of the pertinent Knox County laws, rules, and

regulations showed them to be adequate for the implementation and

enforcement of the aforementioned category of NSPS, the EPA hereby

notifies the public that it has delegated the authority for the source

category listed above on May 28, 1993.

The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from the

requirements of section 6 of Executive Order 12866.

Authority: This document is issued under the authority of

sections 101, 110, 111, 112, and 301 of the Clean Air Act, as

Amended (42 U.S.C. 7401, 7410, 7411, 7412, and 7601).

Dated: February 3, 1994.

Patrick M. Tobin,

Acting Regional Administrator.
