SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to

of Air Quality Management (County Department), on March 14, 2014, and
May 14, 2015, that require certain sources in Knox County, Tennessee,
to report actual emissions of volatile organic compounds and oxides of
nitrogen to the County Department annually. These changes amend the
