. The Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) specifies that State Im p l eme ntat i on Plans (SIPs) for nonattainment areas must include "re a sonably ava i labl e control m e asures" (RACM), i ncludin g "reasonably available control technolo g y" (RACT), f or sources of e missions. Th e CAA also provides that for nonattainment areas classified as "modera te " or wor s e, states must r e vise th ei r SIPs to include RACT for sources of VOC emissions for each cat eg ory of VOC sourc es cover e d by all CTG documents issued after Nov e mber 15 , 1990, a nd prior to the area's date of a ttainm e nt. As an alternative to adoptin g a RACf rule, a st a te or local a g e n c y may adopt a ne g ative declarat i on do c um e ntin g that it has no stationary sourc e s or emittin g fa c ilities to which the CTG is applic a bl e . Th e n e g ative declaration must g o throu g h th e same public review requirements as any oth e r S IP submittal.
The Maryland D e partm e nt of the Environment (MOE) h a s conduct e d a review of potent i al sources subject to the requir e m e nts of the CTG for Automobile and Li g ht-Duty Truck Assembly Coati ngs and has de te rmined that th e re are no sources in the St a t e to which th e CTG applies. Maryland previously had one source that m e t th e c riteria for the Automobile and Li g ht-Duty Truck Assembly Coat i n g s CTG which has perman e ntly shut down and dismantled all equipment as of September 2005. An inspection r e port of the Gen e ral Motors Truck Group plant in Balt i mor e C i ty is attached as con fi rmation. Ple a se contact myself or Mr .
