40 CFR Part 52

[TN-146-9934b; TN-156-9935b; FRL-6520-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Tennessee; Adoption of Rule Governing Any Credible Evidence

AGENCY:  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:  Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY:  On November 16, 1994, the Tennessee Department of Environment 
and Conservation submitted to EPA revisions to the Nashville-Davidson 
County Local Implementation Plan (LIP). These revisions consisted of 
the adoption of section 10.56.290 Measurement and Reporting of 
Emissions amendments in the Metropolitan/Nashville Code of Laws.
    On May 3, 1995, the Tennessee Department of Environment and 
Conservation submitted to EPA revisions to the Tennessee State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions consisted of the adoption of 
Rule 1200-3-10-.04 Sampling, Recording and Reporting Required For Major 
Stationary Sources.
    The adoptions of section 10.56.290 into the Nashville-Davidson 
County LIP and Rule 1200-3-10-.04 into the Tennessee SIP are being 
implemented to meet the requirements of credible evidence. These 
requirements were set forth in the May 23, 1994 SIP call letter. In the 
final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the 
revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the EPA 
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 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 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 should do 
so at this time.

DATES:  To be considered, comments must be received by February 18, 
2000.

ADDRESSES:  Written comments on this action should be addressed to
