AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Plan (SIP). These revisions concern
particulate matter (PM) emissions and
precursors from steam generating units,
cogeneration units, stationary gas
turbines, process heaters and internal
combustion engines. We are proposing
to approve local rules to regulate these
emission sources under the Clean Air
Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the
Act).

must arrive by November 13, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
proposal addresses the following local
rules: 322, Power Plant Operations, 323,
Fuel Burning Equipment from
Industrial/Commercial/Institutional
(ICI) Sources and 324, Stationary
Internal Combustion (IC) Engines. In the
Rules and Regulations section of this
Federal Register, we are approving
these local rules in a direct final action
without prior proposal because we
believe these SIP revisions are not
controversial. If we receive adverse
comments, however, we will publish a
timely withdrawal of the direct final
rule and address the comments in
subsequent action based on this
proposed rule. Please note that if we
receive adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be
severed from the remainder of the rule,
we may adopt as final those provisions

Approval and Promulgation of Air
Quality Implementation Plans;
Tennessee; Clean Air Interstate Rule
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve
revisions to the Tennessee State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by
the State of Tennessee through the
Tennessee Department of Environment
and Conservation on July 13, 2009. This
revision incorporates provisions related
to the implementation of EPA’s Clean
Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), promulgated
on May 12, 2005, subsequently revised
on April 28, 2006, and December 13,
2006, and the CAIR Federal
Implementation Plan (FIP) concerning
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Oxides
(NOX) annual, and NOX ozone season
emissions for the State of Tennessee,
promulgated on April 28, 2006, and
subsequently revised December 13,
2006. Although the District of Columbia
Circuit Court found CAIR to be flawed,
the rule was remanded without vacatur
and thus remains in place. EPA is
continuing to approve CAIR provisions
into SIPs as appropriate. EPA previously
approved an ‘‘abbreviated SIP’’ for
Tennessee, primarily consisting of rules
governing allocation of allowances to
electric generating units (EGUs) for use
in the trading programs established
pursuant to CAIR and providing for
voluntary opt-in to these programs on
August 20, 2007 (72 FR 46388), effective
on October 19, 2007. Tennessee has now
requested, in a revised submittal dated
September 21, 2009, and a clarification
letter dated September 24, 2009, that
EPA act on a portion of the July 13,
2009, submittal as an abbreviated SIP.
