Fiberglass Boat Coatings and Negative Declaration for Auto and Truck Coatings

The Maryland Department of the Environment gives notice of public hearing/comment period concerning the following proposed action:

1. Amendments to Regulation .26-1 under COMAR 26.11.19 Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes to

adopt the requirements of EPA’s Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing. The new regulation

COMAR 26.11.19.26-1, Control of Volatile Organic Compounds from Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing, adopts the EPA’s Control

Techniques Guidelines (CTG) requirements for this source category.

2. Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings Guidelines – General Notice for a Negative Declaration. The

Department of the Environment will hold a public hearing concerning the State's intention to submit a negative declaration for

the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for Automobile and Light-Duty Truck

Assembly Coatings (EPA-453/R-08-006). As an alternative to adopting a reasonably available control technologies (RACT) rule,

a state or local agency may adopt a negative declaration documenting that it has no stationary sources or emitting facilities to

which the CTG is applicable. The CTG applies to automobile and light-duty truck assembly coating operations. The source

category includes the coatings that are applied to new automobile or new light-duty truck bodies, or body parts for new

automobiles or new light-duty trucks. These coatings are applied at automobile or light-duty truck assembly plants. The large

majority of these coatings are specifically formulated, marketed and sold for this purpose. There are no automobile or lightduty truck assembly facilities in the State and none are expected in the near future.

Statement of the Air and Radiation Management Administration

Department of the Environment 

for the

Public Hearing Relating to 

Proposed Amendments to Regulation .02 under COMAR 26.11.34 related to

Low Emissions Vehicle Program 

held on January 7, 2015

Baltimore, MD

My name is Justin Mabrey. I am an engineer in the Mobile Sources Control Program of 

the Air and Radiation Management Administration, Maryland Department of the Environment.

This public hearing is being held pursuant to the requirements of 40 CFR Section 

51.102 and Sections 2-301 et.seq. of the Environment Article, Annotated Code of Maryland. It is 

also being held in conformance with the State Administrative Procedures Act under the State 

Government Article, beginning at Section 10-101.

Notice of this hearing appeared in the: Maryland Register on December 1, 2014;

Copies of the proposed amendment and supporting documents were submitted for review 

to the State Clearinghouse and are also submitted at this time into the hearing record. Copies of 

the proposed amendment and supporting documents were made available for public inspection at 

the Air and Radiation Management Administration offices in Baltimore and at the Air and 

Radiation Administration webpage titled “Air & Radiation Regulations Public Hearings, 

Meetings and Request for Comments”, from November 25, 2014 to January 7, 2015.

Copies of these notices are being submitted for the record.

The purpose of today's hearing is to give the public an opportunity to comment on 

proposed amendments to Regulation .02 under COMAR 26.11.34

Summary 

This proposed action is the administrative action necessary for Maryland’s program to 

remain consistent with the California program as required by Section 177 of the Clean Air Act. 

The Maryland Clean Cars Act of 2007 required the Maryland Department of the 

Environment (MDE) to adopt regulations implementing the California Clean Car Program. The 

MDE’s 2007 implementing regulations adopted the applicable California regulations through 

incorporation by reference. The California program is a dynamic, changing program. This 

proposed action updates the Maryland regulations with changes that have occurred to the 

California program since they were last updated in 2014. 
2

Purpose of Amendment

These amendments update Maryland’s program requirements to be consistent with 

California’s program requirements. This action is necessary since many of the California 

regulations that are incorporated into the Maryland regulation have been updated. These 

individual regulatory changes can be grouped into 3 areas:

 Adjustments to the optional Section 177 state compliance path (OCP).

 Maintain a minimum ZEV credit requirement for manufacturers for each model year.

 Amend the fast refueling definition for determining ZEV types.

The adjustments to the Optional Compliance Path (OCP) will have the most effect on 

Maryland’s ZEV program. Section 177 states negotiated changes with the manufacturers and 

CARB to ensure the success of the new ZEV program. The new amendments eliminate the use of 

certain credits in meeting the requirements for qualifying for the OCP. Manufacturers can only 

use credits generated from actual vehicles placed in the states to meet the OCP requirements. 

Also included in the amendments is a provision to allow pooling across model years, allow 

intermediate volume manufacturers to comply with the OCP, and remove the VIN reporting 

requirement, unless requested by a state.

The other amendments focused on limiting the use of non-ZEV credits, such as BEVx and 

GHG over-compliance credits, to meet the ZEV requirement. CARB has limited the use of such 

credits to meet the requirement to a maximum of 50% for a model year.

A final amendment to the fast refueling provision is designed to ensure that fast refueling 

credits are given to vehicles that are actually using the technology. The focus was on battery 

swapping designed to meet the requirements but not being demonstrated in the marketplace. The 

changes to the program will give credits for fast refueling only after manufacturers provide data 

demonstrating actual refueling events.

Affected Sources

These amendments apply to automobile manufacturers that produce new motor vehicles 

for sale in Maryland. All vehicle types that have a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 14,000 

pounds are affected. 

Expected Emission Reductions

The changes to the ZEV portion of the regulation may have a small positive impact on the 

benefits, as it is designed to ensure more ZEVs are actually delivered to the Section 177 States in 

order to comply with the OCP. The emissions impact is expected to be minimal though, as the 

manufacturer fleet average emission requirement remains the same.
3

Economic Impact on Affected Sources

Minimal additional burden or cost is expected as a result of these amendments. The 

changes to the OCP, and maintaining a minimum ZEV credit requirement will require 

manufacturers to introduce more actual ZEVs to Maryland and the other Section 177 states. 

However, provisions to allow pooling across states and from the east and west regions from 

different model years will give manufacturers greater flexibility to meet the regulatory 

requirements in a way that is best for their business situation. 

Maryland’s State Implementation Plan (SIP)

This amendment will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a 

revision to Maryland’s State Implementation.

Consideration of Comments

The Department will consider all comments before making a decision to adopt this 

amendment.
