Approval of Existing Federally Enforceable State and Local Operating Permit Programs To Limit Potential To Emit for Hazardous Air Pollutants; State of Alabama; Knox County, Tennessee

On January 25, 1995, the State of Alabama through the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) submitted a letter requesting approval of the State's existing Federally enforceable state operating permits (FESOP) program under section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA). On February 6, 1995, Knox County, Tennessee through the Knox County Department of Air Pollution Control (KCDAPC) submitted a letter requesting approval of the County's exisiting Federally enforceable local operating permits (FELOP) program under section 112(l) of the CAA. The two agencies submitted these requests to provide each Agency the ability to issue Federally enforceable operating permits to hazardous air pollutant (HAP) sources regulated under section 112 of the CAA. EPA is approving both of these requests under section 112(l) of the CAA for purposes of limiting PTE for HAP sources.
