Approval of Revisions to the Tennessee SIP Regarding Prevention 
of Significant Deterioration and Volatile Organic Compounds

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving miscellaneous revisions to the Tennessee 
State Implementation Plan (SIP) regarding prevention of significant 
deterioration (PSD) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). The revisions 
to the PSD regulation add an additional supplement to the EPA 
``Guideline on Air Quality Models''. The revisions to the VOC 
regulation make minor changes to the regulation for the manufacture of 
high-density polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene resins and to 
the regulation containing test methods and compliance procedures for 
VOC sources. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the 
EPA is approving the submitted chapter in its entirety as a direct-
final rule without prior proposal because the EPA views this as a 
noncontroversial revision 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 August 28, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to 
William Denman at the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4 Air 
Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, SW,
