ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[TN-178-1-9707b; FRL-5683-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Hamilton 
County, Tennessee

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the State of Tennessee on behalf of the 
Chattanooga-Hamilton County Air Pollution Control Bureau (CHCAPCB) for 
the purpose of establishing a Federally enforceable state operating 
permit (FESOP) program. In order to extend the Federal enforceability 
of CHCAPCB's FESOP to hazardous air pollutants (HAP), EPA is also 
proposing approval of the CHCAPCB's FESOP regulations pursuant to 
section 112 of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA).
    In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving CHCAPCB's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as noncontroversial revision 
amendments and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale 
for the approvals is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse 
comments are received in response to that direct final 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. EPA will not institute a second 
comment period on this approval action. Any parties interested in 
commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: To be considered, comments must be received by March 20, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Kelly Fortin, Air & 
Radiation Technology Branch, Air, Pesticides & Toxics Management 
Division, Region 4, Environmental Protection Agency, Atlanta Federal 
Center, 100 Alabama Street SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303.
