SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. This Action EPA is approving changes to the Tennessee SIP that were provided to EPA under cover letters dated February 26, 2020.1 Specifically, the State requested that Tennessee Air Pollution Control Regulations TAPCR 120003
29 and Davidson County Regulation 8
be removed from the Tennessee SIP.2 In addition, Tennessee requested that EPA
remove the requirements for the Middle Tennessee Area 3 4 and Hamilton County to implement an I/M program as part of the Early Action Compact EAC that was approved by EPA into the nonregulatory portion of the Tennessee SIP
on August 26, 2005. See 70 FR 50199.
EPA is approving these requests because the SIP revisions are consistent with the CAA, including section 110l.
II. Background On May 15, 2018, a Tennessee law was signed that states that no 1 EPA officially received Tennessees I/M SIP
revisions on February 27, 2020.
2 The States I/M program at TAPCR 12000329
covers Hamilton County in addition to Sumner, Rutherford, Williamson and Wilson Counties.
Throughout this rule, where EPA uses the phrase I/M program, the Agency is referring to the States I/M program in both the Middle Tennessee Area and Hamilton County, and the Davidson County I/M program unless otherwise noted.
3 In December 2002, the Middle Tennessee Area entered into EPAs EAC program. As part of the EAC for the Middle Tennessee Area, the I/M
program was identified as an existing control strategy in the SIP.
4 Throughout this final rulemaking, unless otherwise noted, where the Middle Tennessee Area is referenced EPA is intending for this to mean the area covering Davidson, Sumner, Rutherford, Williamson and Wilson Counties.
