## Abstract

The Knox County Department of Air Quality Management located in Knoxville, Tennessee has requested that EPA delegate authority for implementation and enforcement of existing New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) which have been previously adopted by the Knox County Department of Air Quality Management (KCDAQM or local agency) but have remained undelegated by EPA, and to approve the mechanism for delegation (adopt-by-reference) of future NSPS. The purpose of the local agency request for approval of its delegation mechanism is to streamline existing administrative procedures by eliminating any unnecessary steps involved in the federal delegation process. With this NSPS delegation mechanism in place, a new or revised NSPS promulgated by EPA will become effective in Knox County on the date the NSPS is adopted if the local agency adopts the NSPS without change. No further local agency requests for delegation will be necessary. Likewise, no further Federal Register notices will be published. EPA reserves the right to implement the federal NSPS directly and continues to retain concurrent enforcement authority. The EPA's review of the local agency's pertinent laws, rules, and regulations indicate that adequate and effective procedures are in place for the implementation and enforcement of these Federal standards. This document was written to inform the public of delegations that were made to KCDAQM for which a Federal Register notice was not previously written and to inform the public of the local agency's new mechanism for delegation of future NSPS.
