# Re: 201 1 Data Certification and Clean Data Demonstration for the Knoxville

Annual and 24-Hour PM-2.5 Nonattainment Area

Dear Ms. Fleming:

The State of Tennessee certifies to the US. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) its

ambient PM 2.5 and lead data 

# for calendar year 201 1. The data has 

# been submitted to the Air



# Quality Subsystem (AQS) and is complete. The reported data are true and accurate to the best of

this agency's knowledge, taking into consideration the quality assurance findings. Copies of the

AMP450, AMP450NC, and AMP255 reports are enclosed.

The State of Tennessee would also like to make a request regarding the ~noxville, 

# TN PM-2.5

nonattainment area. This area is nonattainment for both the annual and 24-hour PM-2.5

standards and includes Anderson, Blount, Knox, and Loudon Counties in their entirety, as well

as a portion of Rome County. The area was designated as nonattainment for the annual PM-2.5

National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) by EPA on January 5, 2005. Later the EPA

designated the area nonattainment for the 24-hour PM-2.5 NAAQS on November 13, 2009,

(74FR 58762-58763), with 

# an effective date of December 14, 2009. Current air quality

monitoring data show all monitors in the Knoxville nonattainment area have attained both the

annual PM-2.5 NAAQS of 15 ug/m3 and the 24-hour NAAQS of 

# 35 ug/m3. This determination

is based upon three years of ambient air monitoring data 

# showing monitored attainment for the

2009-20 1 1 period.

The State of Tennessee requests that EPA make a positive determination that the Knoxville, TN



# annual and 24-hour PM-2.5 nonattainment areas have attained the annual and 24-hour PM-2.5

NAAQS, pursuant to the Agency's Clean Data Policy. If the requested determination is made

# final, the requirement for the State of Tennessee to submit attainment demonstrations and

associated reasonably available control measures (RACM), reasonable further progress 

# (RFP)

plans, contingency measures, and other required elements related to attainment of the NAAQS

for the Knoxville, 

# TN annual and 24-hour nonattainment area would be suspended. These

requirements would remain suspended 

# as long 

# as this area continues to meet the 

# annual and 24-

hour PM-2.5 

# NAAQS.

Your favorable review of this request will be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or

require additional information, please call me at 615-532-0525.

Since ly,
