Notice of Public Hearings 

In August 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. Definition of Fuel Burning Equipment 

This action will amend (1) Regulation .01 under COMAR 26.11.01 General Administrative Provisions; and (2) Regulation .01 

under COMAR 26.11.09 Control of Fuel-Burning EqUipment, Stationary Internal Combustion Engines, and Certain FuelBurning Installations. The action will remove the word "furnace" from the definition of fuel burning eqUipment in COMAR 

26.11.01.01B(17) and remove the definition "fuel burning eqUipment" from COMAR 26.11.09.01. 

2. Distributed Generation Amendments 

This action will amend Regulation .08-1 underCOMAR 26.11.09 Control of Fuel-Burning Equipment, Stationary Internal 

Combustion Engines, and Certain Fuel-Burning Installations. The purpose of this action is to: (1) clarify the applicability of 

this regulation and the application of the 10-hour exclusion; (2) require load shaving units to install a time meter to record 

total operating time; and (3) clarify the procedures for securing NOx allowances for compliance purposes. 

3. Large Appliance Coating 

This action will amend Regulation .06 under COMAR 26.11.19 Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes to adopt 

the requirements of EPA's Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for large appliance coating. 

4. Lithographic and Letter Press Printing 

This action will amend Regulation .11 under COMAR 26.11.19 Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes to 

incorporate EPA's CTG for lithographic and letterpress printing into Maryland's current regulations for the control of volatile 

organic compounds (VOC). 

All of the regulatory actions described above except the distributed generation amendments will be submitted to EPA for 

approval as revisions to Maryland's SIP.
