Environmental Protection Agency July 23, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

EPA is proposing to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Tennessee on February 23, 2006, and May 31, 2006. The proposed revisions modify Tennessee's and Nashville/ Davidson County's Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) regulations in the SIP to address changes to the federal NSR regulations, which were promulgated by EPA on December 31, 2002 (67 FR 80186) and reconsidered with minor changes on November 7, 2003 (68 FR 63021) (collectively, these two final actions are called the ``2002 NSR Reform Rules''). EPA's 2002 NSR Reform Rules, proposed for inclusion in the Tennessee SIP and the Nashville/Davidson County portion of the Tennessee SIP, contain provisions for baseline emissions calculations, an actual-to-projected- actual methodology for calculating emissions changes, options for plant-wide applicability limits, and recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
