SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The SIP is a living document which the State revises as necessary to address its unique air pollution problems. Therefore, EPA, from time to time, must take action on SIP revisions containing new and/or revised regulations as being part of the SIP. On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), EPA revised the procedures for incorporating by reference Federally-approved SIPs, as a result of consultations between EPA and the Office of the Federal Register (OFR). The description of the revised SIP document, IBR procedures and “Identification of plan” format are discussed in further detail in the May 22, 1997 
                    **Federal Register**
                     document. On November 1, 2004 (69 FR 69304), EPA published a document in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     beginning the new IBR procedure for Maryland. On February 2, 2006 (71 FR 5607), May 18, 2007 (72 FR 27957), March 11, 2008 (73 FR 12895), and March 19, 2009 (74 FR 11647), EPA published updates to the IBR material for Maryland. Since the publication of the last IBR update, EPA has approved the following regulatory changes to the following Maryland regulations: A. Added Regulations 1. COMAR 26.11.10 (Control of Iron and Steel Production Installations), regulation .05—1 (Control of Carbon Monoxide Emissions from Basic Oxygen Furnaces). 2. COMAR 26.11.19 (Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes), regulations .09-1 (Control of VOC Emissions from Industrial Solvent Cleaning Operations Other Than Cold and Vapor Degreasing), .10-1 (Flexible Packaging Printing), and .33 (Control of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from Flat wood Paneling Coatings). 3. COMAR 26.11.28 (Clean Air Interstate Rule)—all regulations (.01 through .08). B. Revised Regulations 1. COMAR 26.11.01.01 (General Administrative Provisions—Definitions), section .01B(17) (definition of “fuel burning equipment”). 2. COMAR 26.11.09 (Control of Fuel Burning Equipment, Stationary Internal Combustion Engines, and Certain Fuel-Burning Installations), regulation .01B (removal of the definition of “fuel burning equipment”). 3. COMAR 26.11.19 (Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes), regulations .06 (Large Appliance Coating), .07 (Paper, Fabric, Film, Foil, Vinyl, and Other Plastic Parts Coating), and .10 (Flexographic and Rotogravure Printing). C. Removed Regulations COMAR 26.11.10 (Control of Iron and Steel Production Installations), Regulation .06[2] (Carbon Monoxide). II. EPA Action In this action, EPA is doing the following:
                    ( print page 52279) A. In Paragraph 52.1070(b) Announcing the update to the IBR material as of August 1, 2011. B. In Paragraph 40 CFR 52.1070(c) 1. Removing the entry for COMAR 26.11.10.06[1], and replacing it with an entry for COMAR 26.11.10.06. 2. Correcting a typographical error in the title heading entry for COMAR 26.11.09. 3. Correcting typographical errors in the “Title/subject” column for the following entries: COMAR 26.11.19.07, 26.11.19.07-1, 26.11.19.09, 26.11.19.24, 26.11.29.11, and 11.14.08.22. 4. Correcting the date format in the “State effective date” column for the following entries: COMAR 26.11.24.04, and all 26 entries in COMAR 26.11.32. 5. Correcting the text in the “Additional explanation/citation at 40 CFR  52.1100” column for COMAR 26.11.01.01, 26.11.09.01, 26.11.19.10, and 26.11.29.09. C. In Paragraph 52.1070(d) Correcting the date in the “State effective date” column for the entry “Potomac Electric Power Company (PEPCO)—Chalk Point Units #1 and #2.” D. In Paragraph 52.1070(e) Correcting the date format for the following entries: 1. Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Plan—City of Baltimore—Regional Planning District 118 (“EPA approval date” column). 2. Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Plan—Montgomery County Election Districts 4, 7, and 13; Prince Georges County Election Districts 2, 6, 12, 16, 17, and 18 (“EPA approval date” column). 3. 1-hour Ozone Attainment Plan—Washington DC 1-hour ozone nonattainment area (“State effective date” column); and, 4. 8-Hour Ozone Maintenance Plan for the Kent and Queen Anne's Area (“State effective date” column). EPA has determined that today's rule falls under the “good cause” exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) which, upon finding “good cause,” authorizes agencies to dispense with public participation and section 553(d)(3) which allows an agency to make a rule effective immediately (thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in the APA). Today's rule simply codifies provisions which are already in effect as a matter of law in Federal and approved State programs. Under section 553 of the APA, an agency may find good cause where procedures are “impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.” Public comment is “unnecessary” and “contrary to the public interest” since the codification only reflects existing law. Immediate notice in the CFR benefits the public by removing outdated citations and incorrect table entries. III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews A. General Requirements Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this action: Is not a “significant regulatory action” subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget underExecutive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
                Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
                    *et seq.*);
                Is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 
                    *et seq.*);
                Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
                Does not have Federalism implications as specified inExecutive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
                Is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject toExecutive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
                Is not a significant regulatory action subject toExecutive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
                Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the CAA; and
                Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, underExecutive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In addition, this rule does not have Tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal law. B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 
                    *et seq.,*
                     as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    . This rule is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). C. Petitions for Judicial Review EPA has also determined that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the CAA pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not applicable to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual component of the Maryland SIP compilations had previously afforded interested parties the opportunity to file a petition for judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit within 60 days of such rulemaking action. Thus, EPA sees no need in this action to reopen the 60-day period for filing such petitions for judicial review for this “Identification of plan” update action for Maryland.
