MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT 

AIR & RADIATION MANAGEMENT ADMINISTRATION 

NOTICE OF PUBUC HEARINGS 

In January 2010, the Air and Radiation Management Administration will hold public hearings concerning proposed amendments to 

air quality regulations and submission of regulations to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval as part of 

Maryland's State Implementation Plan (SIP). The actions are briefly described below: 

1. Adheslyes and Sealants - Electronic Systems 

Amend Regulation .15 under COMAR 26.11.19 Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes to repeal the general emission 

standard for adhesives under COMAR 26.11.19.15C(4} and replace it with the proposed source-specific VOC Reasonably Available 

Control Technology (RAC11 emission limitation for the application of adhesives and sealants to specialty electronic systems and 

subsystems for defense and homeland security. This source category is exempt from requirements under COMAR 26.11.35. 

~. Paper. Film and Foil Coatings 

Amend Regulation .07 under COMAR 26.11.19 Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes to adopt the requirements of 

the EPA Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for paper, film and foil coating. EPA develops CTGs as guidance on control 

requirements for source categories. States can follow the CTGs or adopt more restrictive standards. MDE proposes to adopt the CTG 

standards for paper, film and foil coatings. 

3. Industrial Cleaning Solvents 

Adopt new Regulation .09-1 under COMAR 26.11.19 Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes to adopt the requirements 

of the EPA CTG for industrial cleaning solvents. 

4. Fiexible Packaging Printing 

Amend Regulation .10 and adopt new Regulation .10-1 under COMAR 26.11.19 Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes 

to adopt the requirements of the EPA CTG for flexible packaging printing. 

5. lithOGraPhic and Lettemress Printing 

Amend Regulation .11 under COMAR 26.11.19 Volatile Organic Compounds from SpeCific Processes to adopt the requirements of 

the EPA CTG for lithographic and letterpress printing. 

6. Flat Wood Paneling Coatings 

Amend Regulation .32 and adopt new Regulation .33 under COMAR 26.11.19 Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific 

Processes to adopt the requirements of the EPA CTG for flat wood paneling coatings. 

7. Recent Public Service Commission (PSt) Regulatorv Action to Clarify that Modifications to Power Plants are 

Subject to the Federal Clean Air Act 

On November 5,2009, the Public Service Commission adopted amendments to Regulations .01 and .02, new Regulation .06, and 

the recodification of existing Regulation .06 to be Regulation .07 under COMAR 20.79.01 General. The changes to this chapter 

were proposed in the Maryland Register on September 11, 2009. The Final Action will be published on December 18, 2009 

(effective date: December 28, 2009). The action implements amendments to §7-205 of the Public Utility Companies Article enacted 

by the General Assembly in 2006 to conform to federal Clean Air Act requirements as they pertain to modifications of stationary 

sources, including power plants. The action clarifies what modifications are subject to the PSC process and which ones are exempt. 

This notice is to inform the public that the Department of the Environment will submit this PSC regulatory action and the apprbpriate 

portions of §§ 7-205, 7-207, 7-207.1 and 7-208 of the Public Utility Companies Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland to EPA to 

be approved as part of Maryland's SIP. 

All of the regulatory actions described above will be submitted to the U.s. EPA for approval as revisions to Maryland's SIP. 

The full text of the 6 proposed actions will appear in the Maryland Register and at tlt!Q;LLYlwwA.:;d.sj;jite.md.u'?1J:rlQ@gl!?1grL on 

December 18, 2009. The technical support documents (TSDs) are available for public review on the Maryland Department of the
