ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2005-TN-0008-200534(b); FRL-8157-7]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Tennessee: 
Revisions to Volatile Organic Compound Definition

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Tennessee State 
Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted by the Tennessee Department of 
Environment and Conservation on September 7, 1998. This revision adds 
16 compounds to the list of compounds excluded from the definition of 
``Volatile Organic Compounds.'' In the Final Rules Section of this 
Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct 
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no significant, material, and adverse comments are received in 
response to this 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 final 
rule based on this proposed rule. 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: Written comments must be received on or before May 15, 2006.
