Air Quality Planning Program 

Maryland's Air Quality Planning Program (AQPP) writes state implementation plans and regulations to reduce emissions and achieve the 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six "criteria" air pollutants: ground-level ozone, particulate matter, lead, carbon 

monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. The AQPP also implements federal, regional, local, and state greenhouse gas emissions

reduction programs, including implementing the requirements of the Maryland Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Act of 2009 and 

managing Maryland's involvement in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). 

The AQPP consists of three divisions covering its different program areas:

(1) Planning and Policy

(2) Regulation Development

(3) Climate Change

Planning and Policy: State Implementation Plans

The Planning and Policy Division develops air quality plans, also called state implementation plans, which are designed to attain and

maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, and to prevent significant deterioration of air quality in areas cleaner than the 

standards.

The state implementation plans are listed below in chronological order with the latest documents first. Some SIPs have many 

appendices, but each distinct SIP on the list is identified with the word “Document” followed by the individual SIP’s name below that 

and any appendices subsequently.

Note: Maryland's State Implementation Plans are viewable in Adobe Acrobat Reader (pdf) format. To view the documents, you will have 

to download the Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Statement of the Air and Radiation Management Administration 

Maryland Department of the Environment 

For the Public Hearing concerning the 

Maryland State Implementation Plan for Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2) for Nitrogen Dioxide 

(NO2) and Section 128 for all National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

June 12, 2013 

Good Afternoon. My name is Randall Carroll. I am a Natural Resources Planner in the Planning and 

Policy Division, Air Quality Planning Program of the Air & Radiation Management Administration, 

Maryland Department of the Environment. 

This public hearing is related to the air quality plan entitled the Maryland State Implementation Plan for 

Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2) for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Section 128 for all National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards. 

This public hearing is being held pursuant to federal law found at 42 U. S. C. § 7410(a) and 40 CFR Parts 

51.102 and 251. It is also being held in conformance with the State Administrative Procedure Act, under 

the State Government Article, beginning at Section 10-101. 

Notice of this public hearing appeared on the Maryland Department of the Environment's website on May 9, 

2013, and remained on the website to the date of today's hearing. 

Copies of each of the public hearing notices and the proposed Maryland State Implementation Plan for 

Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2) for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Section 128 for all National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards will be part of the formal hearing record. 

Access to the proposed document was made available via the website of the Maryland Department of the 

Environment. Hard copies were also available at the Maryland Department of the Environment. 

The purpose of this hearing is to provide the public with an opportunity to formally comment on the 

proposed document. 

Summary of the Maryland State Implementation Plan for Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2) for Nitrogen 

Dioxide (NO2) and Section 128 for all National Ambient Air Quality Standards

The Clean Air Act was passed in 1970 to protect public health and welfare. Congress amended the Act in 

1990 to establish requirements for areas not meeting the National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS). The Clean Air Act Amendments established a process for evaluating air quality in each region 

and identifying nonattainment areas according to the severity of its air pollution problem. The Clean Air 

Act sets health standards for six ambient pollutants: carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, 

ozone, lead and particulate matter. The Environmental Protection Agency establishes rules and regulations 

to implement the Clean Air Act. 
2

The purpose of this document is to examine Maryland’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) and determine if 

all necessary implementation, maintenance, and enforcement measures for the revised NO2 National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard are in place. Section 110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act provides a detailed 

listing of various requirements for state implementation plans regarding the national ambient air quality 

standards. In this SIP document, each subparagraph from (A) through (M) is detailed, with various 

provisions supporting the requirements. The MDE has verified its authority, through this document, to 

implement the NAAQS. 

In addition, the purpose of this SIP document is to address the Clean Air Act Section 128 requirements for 

all criteria pollutants’ NAAQS in relation to state boards and agency heads, and disclosure of potential 

conflicts of interest.

The attached State Implementation Plan addresses Maryland's obligations under §128 for all NAAQS and 

addresses §110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act for the revised NO2 National Ambient Air Quality Standard.

CONSIDERATION OF COMMENTS 

The Department will consider all pertinent comments, and revise the proposed plan if necessary, before 

making a final decision to adopt the plan and submit it to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for 

approval as a Maryland State Implementation Plan. Oral and written comments may be presented at this 

hearing. The 30-day public comment period that began on May 9, 2013, for receipt of all comments to the 

plan will close at 5:00 PM today.

Public Hearing 

Maryland Department of the Environment 6/12/2013 

1 The Clean Air Act Amendments established a process for 

2 evaluating air quality in each region and i dentifying 

3 nonattainment areas according to the severity of its air 

4 pollution problem. 

5 The Clean Air Act sets health standards for 

6 six ambient pollutants: carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, 

7 nitrogen oxides, ozone, lead and particulate matter. 

8 The Environmental Protection Agency establishes rules 

9 and regulations to implement the Clean Air Act. 

10 The purpose of this document is to examine 

11 Maryland's State Implementation Plan and determine if 

12 all necessary implementation, maintenance, and 

13 enforcement measures for the revised N02 National 

14 Ambient Air Quality Standard are in place. Section 

15 110(a) (2) of the Clean Air Act provides a detailed 

16 listing of various requirements for state implementation 

17 plans regarding the National Ambient Air Quality 

18 Standards. In this SIP document, each subparagraph from 

19 (A) through (M) is detailed, with various provisions 

20 supporting the requirements. The MOE has verified its 

21 authority, through this document, to implement the 

22 NAAQS.

per billion (ppi», based on the 3-year average of the 98th percentile of the yearly 

distribution Qf 1-hour daily maximum concentrations. High levels ofN02 contribute to 

respiratory problems in sensitive individuals. Also, on January 22, 2010, EPA proposed 

revisions to the N02 monitoring requirements pertaining to where state and local 

monitoring agencies would be required to conduct N02 monitoring. This final rule

respectively, approving Maryland SIP revisions to COMAR 26.1 1.04. As of the close of the comment period on 

March 13, 20 I 3, EPA had not received any adverse comments on the proposed/direct final rule; as a result, the 

direct final rule will be effective on April 12, 2013 without further notice. Note that in these changes to Maryland's 

regulations, the NAAQS are being incorporated by reference prospectively in order for Maryland's ambient air 

quality standards to be identical to the federal standards at all times.

RESPONSE TO COMMENTS 

Received at the 

PUBLIC HEARING and in SUBMISSIONS 

Hearing held on June 12, 2013 in Baltimore, Maryland 

in relation to

Maryland State Implementation Plan for Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2) for Nitrogen 

Dioxide and Section 128 for all National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

Dates and Locations: A public hearing was held on June 12, 2013 at MDE

Headquarters, 1800 Washington Boulevard, in Baltimore, Maryland. 

The Hearing and Comment Period: The public hearing allowed public comment on a 

document prepared for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency pertaining to the state 

implementation plan (SIP) above. This SIP addresses (1) infrastructure measures for the 

2010, 1-hour nitrogen dioxide (NO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS); 

and (2) the requirements for all criteria pollutants’ NAAQS in relation to state boards and 

agency heads and disclosure of potential conflicts of interest. This SIP was released for 

public comment and review on May 9, 2013. Prior to the hearing, the public was urged 

to express their concerns via the standard U.S. Postal Service mail, by fax, or by email 

submission. 

Statement: At the hearing, Molla Sarros served as the hearing officer. No one showed 

up for the hearing, so the hearing statement of Randall Carroll, Natural Resources 

Planner representing the Air Quality Planning Program of the Air and Radiation 

Management Administration, was submitted into the hearing record. 

Comments and Responses: No comments were received at the hearing, and no 

comments at all were received during the comment period.

THRU: Cristina Fernandez, Associate Director /s/ 9/26/13

Office of Air Program Planning

On Tuesday, September 24, 2013, Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) confirmed, via 

email, the state effective dates for the portions of Title 15 (Public Ethics) of the Annotated Code of 

Maryland (“the Code”) included in the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submittal. In addition, EPA 

notes that, in the confirmation email sent from MDE, the second column of the table was inadvertently 

skewed and by replying “Yes,” in the body of the message, MDE confirmed the dates in the table that 

EPA initially sent. Both email messages have been attached to this memorandum for inclusion to the 

docket. 

MDE included additional information with the table; however, it is not possible to include this 

information with the table due to the formatting of the Federal Register. EPA is including the 

information in the Summary section of the Direct Final Rulemaking Notice and it is being documented 

in this memorandum. 

EPA recognizes that the stated subsections in the confirmation email may have been enacted and in 

place prior to the date listed. The Maryland General Assembly does not “amend” the Code per se, 

instead it “repeals and replaces/reenacts” portions of the Code. If amendments to the Code are desired, 

the General Assembly “repeals and replaces/reenacts, with amendments.” In either process, the portion 

of the Code that gets amended is generally small compared to the portion being repealed and

replaced/reenacted. With regards to this particular SIP submittal, the state effective dates are the most 

recent enactments of the stated subsections of Title 15 at the time of the SIP submission, and are the 

versions of the Code that will be incorporated into the SIP.

Clarification: 

The dates listed in the table above (for "State effective dates") for the relevant specified sections of the Annotated Code 

of Maryland are the "last amended" dates provided for each state citation as verified by EPA by reviewing the citations 

in Michie's Annotated Code of Maryland and on Lexis' Annotated Code of Maryland (available at www.lexis.com). EPA 

understands that these "last amended dates" are the most recent dates that any part of the entire section of the 

Maryland Annotated Code was last amended, and the part that was last amended may not have been the specific subsection that is listed in the table above. In general, the specific statutory sections in the table above were promulgated 

as Maryland law prior to the "last amended dates." However, EPA is including the "last amended dates" as the state 

effective dates to indicate properly the appropriate section of the Annotated Code of Maryland being incorporated by 

reference into the Maryland SIP because those dates reflect the statutory provisions Maryland intended to be 

incorporated into the SIP.

Annotated Code of Maryland (available at www.lexis.com), and as verified by EPA by reviewing the citations 

therein. EPA understands that these "last amended dates" are the most recent dates that any part of the entire 

section of the Maryland Annotated Code in which the cited sub-sections are found was amended, and the last 

amendment may not have included the specific sub-section cited in the table above. In general, the specific 

statutory sections in the table above were promulgated as Maryland law prior to the "last amended dates." 

However, EPA is including the "last amended dates" as the state effective dates to indicate properly the 

appropriate section of the Annotated Code of Maryland being incorporated by reference into the Maryland SIP.
