ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[TN-173-9637b; FRL-5538-1]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans--Tennessee:
Approval of Source Specific Nitrogen Oxide Permits Into the Tennessee
State Implementation Plan
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve two source specific permits into
the Tennessee State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted to EPA by
Tennessee, through the Tennessee Department of Air Pollution Control
(TDAPC) which limit nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions for certain
engines at the Tenneco Energy Portland facility located in Sumner
County, Tennessee. These permits are necessary because NOX
reductions from the Tenneco Energy Portland facility were used in
calculating the NOX emissions projections in the maintenance plan
for the Middle Tennessee ozone nonattainment area. EPA is proposing
approval of the ozone redesignation request in a separate action. In
the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving
these permits 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 proposed rule. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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. The 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: To be considered, comments must be received by August 23, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to
William Denman at the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4 Air
Programs Branch, 345 Courtland Street, NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30365.
