Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans; New

Mexico; Supplement to the New

Mexico State Implementation Plan To

Control Air Pollution in Areas of

Bernalillo County Designated

Nonattainment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve

a revision to the New Mexico State

Implementation Plan addressing

nonattainment areas in Bernalillo

County. The purpose of proposing to

approve this revision is to update the

narrative portion of the ‘‘April 14, 1993,

Supplement to the New Mexico State

Implementation Plan to Control Air

Pollution in Area(s) of Bernalillo County

Designated Nonattainment’’ (see the

Federal Register published on

December 21, 1993) to reflect EPA’s

approval for lifting the construction ban

in Bernalillo County. In the final rules

section of this Federal Register, EPA is

approving the State’s State

Implementation Plan 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 rule. If the 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will be withdrawn, and all public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 action. Any parties interested in

commenting on this action should do so

at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be postmarked by July 24, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be

aerodynamic diameter less than or equal

to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM10).

The ‘‘moderate’’ area SIP was submitted

by the State to satisfy certain Federal

requirements in the Clean Air Act

(CAA) for an approvable nonattainment

area PM10 plan for the MLPA.

The intended effect of proposing

Proposed Approval and Promulgation

of Implementation Plans and

Designation of Areas for Air Quality

Planning Purposes; State of

Tennessee

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: On November 14, 1994, the

State of Tennessee, through the

Tennessee Department of Environment

and Conservation (TDEC), submitted a

maintenance plan and a request to

redesignate the Middle Tennessee area

from moderate nonattainment to

attainment for ozone (O3). Subsequently

on August 9, 1995, and January 19,

1996, the State submitted

supplementary information which

included revised contingency measures

and emission projections. The Middle

Tennessee O3 nonattainment area

consists of Davidson, Rutherford,

Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson

Counties. Under the Clean Air Act,

designations can be changed if sufficient

data are available to warrant such

changes. In this action, EPA is

proposing to approve the State of

Tennessee’s submittal because it will

meet the maintenance plan and

redesignation requirements. The

approved maintenance plan will

become a federally enforceable part of

Tennessee’s State Implementation Plan

(SIP) for the moderate nonattainment

area. In this action, EPA is also

proposing to approve the State of

Tennessee’s 1990 baseline emissions

inventory because it meets EPA’s

requirements regarding the approval on

baseline emission inventories. EPA has

analyzed the Tennessee SIP and

determined which requirements have

been met and for which requirements

further action is required. In the

instances where further action is

required, SIP revisions meeting those

requirements must be fully approved in

order for EPA to find that all the

applicable requirements of the Clean Air

Act as amended in 1990 (CAA) have

been met. Thus, final approval of this

redesignation is contingent upon the

final approval of the additional SIP

submittals described in Part 2. of the

Supplementary Information.

DATES: To be considered, comments

must be received by July 24, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to Steven M.

Scofield, at the EPA Regional Office

listed below.

Copies of the documents relative to

this action are available for public

inspection during normal business

hours at the following locations. The

interested persons wanting to examine

these documents should make an

appointment with the appropriate office

at least 24 hours before the visiting day.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

November 15, 1990, the Clean Air Act

Amendments of 1990 were enacted.

(Pub. L. 101–549, 104 Stat. 2399,

codified at 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671q).

Under section 107(d)(1)(C), EPA

designated the Middle Tennessee area

as nonattainment by operation of law

with respect to O3 because the area was

designated nonattainment immediately

before November 15, 1990. The area was

classified as moderate.

The moderate nonattainment area

more recently has ambient monitoring

data that show no violations of the O3

NAAQS, during the period from 1992

through 1994. Therefore, in an effort to

comply with the CAA and to ensure

continued attainment of the NAAQS, on

November 14, 1994, the State of

Tennessee submitted an O3 maintenance

plan and requested redesignation of the

area to attainment with respect to the O3

NAAQS. On March 13, 1995, Region 4

determined that the information

received from the State constituted a

complete redesignation request under

the general completeness criteria of 40

CFR part 51, appendix V, sections 2.1

and 2.2. Subsequently, on August 9,

1995, and January 19, 1996, the State

submitted supplementary information

which included revised contingency

measures and emission projections.

The Tennessee redesignation request

for the Middle Tennessee moderate O3

nonattainment area meets the five

requirements of section 107(d)(3)(E) for
