Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Tennessee:

Approval of Revisions to the Tennessee State Implementation Plan

Regarding Prevention of Significant Deterioration

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is approving revisions to the Tennessee State

Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Tennessee on

September 1, 1993, and June 10, 1996. These revisions pertain to the

Construction Permit chapter. The purpose of these revisions is to

correct certain deficiencies to satisfy the requirements of the Clean

Air Act (CAA) concerning Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD).

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 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and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 August 28, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr.

Scott M. Martin at the EPA Regional Office listed below.

Copies of the documents relative to this action are available for

public inspection during normal business hours at the following
