Planning Purposes; State of Tennessee AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA). ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The purpose of this document

is

to accelerate the effective date for the redesignation

of Memphis/Shelby County,

Tennessee, from nonattainment

to

attainment for the carbon monoxide

- **~** (CO)

air quality standard. EPA previously

published a. direct final action

redesignating the Memphis/Shelby

County CO nonattainment area effective

September 26, 1994. Since no

, . comments were. received during-the

. public comment period on that notice and

sanctions would otherWise be imposed

for a brief period, this notice makes

the redesignation effective immediately.

This action stops the sanction

clock and thus prevents sanctions

from being imposed on the

·

Memphis/Shelby County area.

EFFECTIVE DATE! This action will be effective on August 31, 1994. ADDRESSES: Environmental Protection Agency,

Region IV, Air Programs Branch,

345 Courtland Street NE, Atlanta,

Georgia, 30365. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ben Franco

ofthe EPA Region IV Air Programs

Branch at (404) 347-3555 ext 4211,

and at the above address. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION! On july26,

1994, EPA published a direct final notice

(see 59 FR 37939) redesignatingthe

Memphis/Shelby County area from nonattainment to attainment for CO. That

notice stated the effective date of the

redesignation would be September. 26,

1994, 

### if no _adverse cOmments Were received._

No adverse comments have been

received. Subsequently, on August

4,

1994, EPA published a rule (see 59 FR 39832)

identifying areas with findings
in

place that would be subject to sanctions

under the Clean Air Act (the Act) as amended in 1990. This action becomes

effective on September 6, 1994. The

Memphis/Shelby County,Tennessee,

CO nonattainment area was identified

as one of the areaa which would

be subject to sanctionS under

.

section 179(A) of the Act beginning on September

6, 1994. The

18-month clock leading to the imposition

of these sanctions was started

by a letter dated january 15, 1993,

in which EPA found that the State

.

of Tennessee had failed to submit a state' implementation

plan (SIP) for an OXygenated

fuels program and corrections

to a basic inspections/ maintenance program by November 15, 1992.

These sanctions would be lifted once

the redesignation becomes effective. Under the timetable established by

the August 4, 1994, sanction rule and the

July 26, 1994, redesignation notice, sanctions

would be in place from September

6, 1994, to September 26, 1994,

the effective date established in the

July 26, 1994, redesignation notice.

In

order to pi'eVent the imposition of SanctiOns

for 

### a three week period on 

### an area

whose redesignation to attainment has

been approved, EPA is hereby accelerating

the effective date of the redesignation

and making it effective immediately upon publication of this notice.

This will alleviate a restriction for

which there is no useful purpose in this

instance. Final Action ·The EPA published this action on july26,

1994, (see 59 FR 37939) without prior

proposal because the Agencyviewed

this as a noncontroversial amendment

and anticipated no adverse comments.

Since no conimenfs were received

the final ride published on july
