40 CFR Part 52

[TN-178-02-9724b; TN 179-01-9723b; FRL-5871-8]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans,

Tennessee; Approval of Revisions to the Chattanooga/Hamilton County

Portion Regarding Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD),

Nitrogen Oxides, Lead Emissions, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC),

and PM10 Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

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

Hamilton County (Chattanooga) portion of the Tennessee State

Implementation Plan (SIP) regarding nitrogen oxides, prevention of

significant deterioration (PSD), lead sources, stack heights,

infectious waste incinerators, and volatile organic compound (VOC)

reasonably available control technology (RACT) for miscellaneous metal

parts coaters and synthesized pharmaceutical products, and

PM10. 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 September 11,

1997.
