SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If we do not receive any adverse 

comments in response to this rule, we 

do not contemplate taking any further 

action. If EPA receives adverse 

comments, we will withdraw the direct 

final rule, and will address all public 

comments in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule, which is 

located in the Final Rules section of this 

Federal Register.

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Tennessee: 

Prevention of Significant Deterioration; 

Greenhouse Gases—Automatic 

Rescission Provisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the State of 

Tennessee, through the Tennessee 

Department of Environmental 

Conservation (TDEC), Air Pollution 

Control Division, to EPA on January 11, 

2012, for the purpose of amending the 

State’s New Source Review (NSR) 

Prevention of Significant Deterioration 

(PSD) regulations as they relate to 

greenhouse gases (GHGs). Specifically, 

Tennessee amended its PSD regulations 

to add automatic rescission provisions. 

These provisions provide that in the 

event that the U.S. Court of Appeals for 

the DC Circuit or the U.S. Supreme 

Court issues an order which would 

render GHGs not subject to regulation 

under the Clean Air Act’s (CAA) PSD 

permitting program, then GHGs shall 

not be subject to regulation under 

Tennessee’s PSD regulations as of the 

effective date of EPA’s Federal Register 

notice of vacatur. Further, the 

provisions provide that in the event that 

there is a change to Federal law that 

supersedes regulation of GHGs under 

the CAA’s PSD permitting program, 

then GHGs shall not be subject to 

regulation under Tennessee’s PSD 

regulations as of the effective date of the 

change in federal law. EPA took action 

to approve the GHG Tailoring Rule PSD 

provisions into the Tennessee SIP in a 

separate rulemaking. EPA is proposing 

to approve Tennessee’s January 11, 

2012, SIP revision because the Agency 

has made the determination that this 

SIP revision is not contrary to section 

110 and part C of the Federal Clean Air 

Act or EPA regulations regarding PSD 

permitting for GHGs. In the Final Rules 

Section of this Federal Register, EPA is 

approving the State’s implementation 

plan revision as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments.
