Re: Request for Parallel Review, Pre-Hearing Draft 

Revisions to TAPCR Chapter 1200-03-09 to Incorporate the Requirements of the Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule 

Dear Mr. Meiburg: 

I am pleased to submit a draft of the proposed revisions to TAPCR Chapter 1200-03-09 to incorporate the requirements 

of the Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule published in the Federal Register June 3, 2010. Public notice of the proposed 

revisions was published in the Tennessee Administrative Register on July 23, 2010. 

These proposed changes are required by Sections 172(c)(5) and 173 of the Clean Air Act. No National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards will be affected by this proposed rule change. 

We plan to submit a final version of this draft request as soon as possible after considering the public comments. The 

public comment period began on July 23, 2010, and will run until the public hearing date of September 9, 2010. We 

intend to submit the final plan to EPA in September 2010, and we request that EPA parallel process this request as we 

move through the comment period. Based on comments received from Lynorae Benjamin and Twunjala Bradley, our 

EPA Region 4 contacts, we will revise the draft rule originally sent for public comment to remove the proposed change to 

1200-03-09-.01(4)(b)24.(ii). This change will be read into the official record at the public hearing. 

If you have any questions concerning this correspondence, please contact me at (615) 532-0554.

Summary of Proposed Change 

Part 1. of subparagraph (s) of paragraph (3) of rule 1200-03-1 1-.01 General Provisions is amended by adding 

the words propylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate to a group organic compounds that have been 

determined to have negligible photochemical reactivity contribution to troposphere ozone formation. By adding 

the two aforementioned compounds to this list there by making the State rule read identical to the Federal rule. 

Subparagraph (b) of paragraph (4) of rule 1200-03-18-.29 Petroleum Liquid Storage in Fixed Roof Tanks is 

amended by changing the time frame to perform a complete inspection of cover and sea1 whenever the tank 

is emptied for nonoperational reasons from every 5 years to at least every 10 years. 

Subparagraph (k) of paragraph (6) of Rule 1200-03-26-.02 Construction and Annual Emission Fees is 

amended by deleting the date "April 1, 2010" between the words "Beginning" and "conditional" an 

inserting the words "one (1) month after the rule is state effective" in its place. This change is being made 

because the effective date has passed and the rule has not become state effective yet. 

Chapter 1200-03-09 Construction and Operating Permits is being amended to include the Federal 

requirements for Greenhouse Gas Regulations into the State regulations.
