[TN-140-01-6910b: FRL-5443-3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;

Tennessee; Revision to New Source Review, Construction and Operating

Permit Requirements for Nashville/Davidson County

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve revisions to the Nashville/

Davidson County portion of the Tennessee State Implementation Plan

(SIP), submitted by the State of Tennessee through the Tennessee

Department of Environment and Conservation on September 27, 1994. These

include revisions to Nashville/Davidson County's new source review

(NSR) regulations, which were made to bring the Nashville/Davidson

County regulations into compliance with the 1990 amendments to the

Clean Air Act (the Act) and the Federal regulations. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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 May 2, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Ms. Karen Borel, at

the Regional Office Address listed below.
