• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898

Emissions Statements 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

changes to the Tennessee state 

implementation plan (SIP) submitted by 

the State of Tennessee, through the 

Tennessee Department of Environment 

and Conservation on behalf of the Knox 

County Department of Air Quality 

Management (County Department), on 

March 14, 2014, and May 14, 2015, that 

require certain sources in Knox County, 

Tennessee, to report actual emissions of 

volatile organic compounds and oxides 

of nitrogen to the County Department 

annually. These changes amend the 

Knox County Air Quality Management 

Regulations in the Knox County portion 

of the Tennessee SIP to reflect the State 

of Tennessee’s SIP-approved emissions 

statement requirements for Knox 

County. This proposed action is being 

taken pursuant to the Clean Air Act and 

its implementing regulations.

revisions to the San Joaquin Valley
