Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans: Tennessee; Visibility Impairment Prevention for Federal Class I Areas; Removal of Federally Promulgated Provisions

EPA is taking direct final action to rescind the Federally promulgated provisions regarding visibility in 40 CFR 52.2234 of the Tennessee State Implementation Plan (SIP). EPA approved Tennessee's visibility rules addressing new source review (NSR) on July 18, 1996, and a plan addressing monitoring and reporting of visibility on July 2, 1997. EPA's approval of these rules neglected to remove the previous Federally promulgated provisions from the Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) contained in 40 CFR 52.2234. EPA is correcting this omission in this rulemaking. This action is being taken pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
