Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Tennessee: Approval of Revisions to the Tennessee SIP Regarding Construction Permits and Volatile Organic Compounds

In this document, EPA is acting on revisions to the Tennessee State Implementation Plan (SIP) which were submitted to EPA by Tennessee, through the Tennessee Department of Air Pollution Control (TDAPC), to amend the Tennessee chapters on construction and operating permits and the regulation of volatile organic compounds (VOC). The revisions amending the TDAPC's construction and operating permits chapter were submitted on January 17, 1995; the revisions amending the TDAPC's VOC chapter were submitted on February 21, 1995, February 8, 1996, February 23, 1996, April 22, 1996, and April 25, 1996. The revisions to the construction and operating permit incorporate visibility protection requirements into the construction permits portion of the rule. The revisions to the VOC chapter were made to respond to the deficiencies of the VOC chapter as described in 60 FR 10504 published on February 27, 1995, which acted on the Tennessee VOC Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) submittal to meet the 1990 VOC RACT ``Catch Up'' requirements. In this notice, EPA is making the determination that all conditional approvals necessary for ozone redesignation purposes have been satisfied. In addition to the above revisions, an amendment was submitted on February 23, 1996, which amended the emissions statement in the VOC chapter, and two new chapters were submitted in April 1996, to regulate offset lithographic printing sources and wood furniture finishing and cleaning operations.
