Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 70 / Thursday, April 12, 2007 / Proposed Rules 18427 

stringent as the State’s requirements. 

After review of this submittal, EPA 

concurs with TDEC’s finding. The 

proposed changes are part of the Knox 

County strategy to meet the national 

ambient air quality standards by 

reducing the emissions of NOX, a 

precursor of ozone formation. Because 

of the harmful health effects of ozone, 

EPA limits the amount of volatile 

organic compounds and NOX that can 

be released into the atmosphere. This 

action is being taken pursuant to section 

110 of the Clean Air Act. In the Final 

Rules Section of this Federal Register, 

the EPA is approving the State’s SIP 

revisions 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 no significant, material, and 

adverse comments are received in 

response to this rule, no further activity 

is contemplated. 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withdrawn and all public comments 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 rule. 

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.

received on or before May 14, 2007.
