Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans;

Tennessee; Approval of Revisions to

Knox County Regulations for

Violations and General Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve

the revisions to the Knoxville/Knox

County portion of the Tennessee State

Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by

the State of Tennessee for the purpose

of revising the current regulations for

the permit requirements, definitions,

and administrative requirements. In the

final rules section of this Federal

Register, the EPA is approving the

State’s SIP revision as a direct final rule

without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

revision amendment 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final rule will be withdrawn and all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 April 25, 1997.

BILLING CODE 6560–50–P

40 CFR Part 52

[CT27–1–7200b; A–1–FRL–5667–3]

Clean Air Act Approval and

Promulgation of State Implementation

Plans; Connecticut: PM10 Prevention

of Significant Deterioration

Increments; and Approval of a Second

1-Year Extension of PM10 Attainment

Date for New Haven

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing full

approval of a State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revision submitted by the State of

Connecticut, which replaces the total

suspended particulate (TSP) prevention

of significant (PSD) increments with

increments for PM10 (particulate matter

with an aerodynamic diameter less than

or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers).

EPA is also proposing full approval of

Connecticut’s request for a second 1-

year extension of the attainment date for

the New Haven PM10 nonattainment

area, based on monitored air quality

data for the national ambient air quality

standard for PM10 during the years

1993–95. These actions are being taken

under the Clean Air Act. In the Final

Rules Section of this Federal Register,

EPA is approving the Connecticut’s SIP

revision and extension request as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency 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 that direct final rule, no

further activity is contemplated in

relation to this proposed rule. If EPA

does receive 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 proposal. Any parties interested

in commenting on this proposal should

do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before April 25, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

Susan Studlien, Deputy Director, Office

of Ecosystem Protection, EPA—Region

1, JFK Federal Bldg (CAA), Boston, MA

submittal and EPA’s technical support
