Air Quality Planning Program Maryland's Air Quality Planning Program (AQPP) write s 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 qualityplans, 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 view able in Adobe Acrobat Reader (pdf) format. To view the documents, you will have to download the Adobe AcrobatReader

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 Standardswill 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 NO 2

### 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 NO 2

### 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.

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 s kewed and by replying “Yes,” in the body of the message, MDE confirmed the dates in the table that EPA initially sent. B oth 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 incorporate d 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.
