Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Tennessee: Approval of Revisions to the Nashville/Davidson County Portion of the Tennessee SIP Regarding Control of Volatile Organic Compounds

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve revisions to the Nashville/ Davidson County portion of the Tennessee State Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning control of volatile organic compounds. The State of Tennessee through the Tennessee Department of Air Pollution Control submitted the revisions to EPA on July 23, 1997. To be consistent with the EPA's Guidelines for ``Control of Volatile Organic Compounds Emissions from Stationary Sources,'' the State of Tennessee amended Regulation No. 7, ``Regulation for Control of Volatile Organic Compounds, Section 7-16, Emission Standards for Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products'' of the Nashville/Davidson County portion of the Tennessee SIP (Nashville SIP).

In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State of Tennessee SIP 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 the direct final 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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 November 9, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Mr. Gregory O. Crawford at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of documents relative to this action are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the following locations. The interested persons
