SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    Section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990, enables the 
EPA to approve state air toxic programs or rules to operate in place of 
the Federal air toxic program. Approval is granted by the EPA if the 
Agency finds that the state program or rule: (1) Is ``no less 
stringent'' than the corresponding Federal rule or program, (2) 
provides adequate authority and resources, (3) schedule for 
implementation and compliance is sufficiently expeditious, and (4) is 
otherwise in compliance with Federal guidance.
    B. This is an initial request for delegation under the provisions 
of 40 CFR part 63, subpart E. No previous delegation of rules or 
regulations pursuant to title III of the Clean Air Act has been 
approved.
    The changes from the federal rule, 40 CFR part 63, subpart M, are: 
(1) The lowering of a required emission rate; (2) An increase in the 
frequency of required monitoring; and (3) A decrease in the amount of 
time allowed for a source to come into compliance. These changes occur 
in subsections 4-10(b)(23); 4-10(c)(10); and 4-10(a) of the 
Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County's Regulation 
No. 4.
    EPA is approving the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and 
Davidson County's air toxics Regulation No. 4, Section 4-10, as a 
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this 
as a noncontroversial delegation request and anticipates no adverse 
comments. If no adverse comments are received in response to this 
direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives 
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent action. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
time.
