Memphis-Shelby County Health 

Department, TN; and Knox County 

Department of Air Quality Management, 

TN). The four evaluations were 

conducted to assess the agencies’

performance under the grants awarded 

by EPA under authority of section 105 

of the Clean Air Act. EPA Region 4 has 

prepared reports for each agency 

identified above and these reports are 

now available for public inspection.

ADDRESSES: The reports may be
