Philadelphia, PA 19103~2029 

Dear Mr.~ Enclosed, for your review and approval, is State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision # 15-03 

concerning Maryland's Negative Declaration for the Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for 

Automobile and Light- Duty Truck Assembly Coatings (U.S. EPA Publication No. EPA-453/R-08­

006, September 2008). As an alternative to adopting a reasonably available control technology 

(RACf) 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 negative declaration must 

go through the same public review requirements as any other SIP submittal. 

The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) followed all required administrative procedures 

throughout the adoption process. As stated in an October 4, 201 3 letter from George Abum to Diana 

Esher and an October 28, 2014 letter from MDE Secretary Robert Summers to EPA Administrator 

Shawn Garvin, MOE conducted a review of potential sources and found that there were no sources in 

the State to which the CTG for Automobile and Li ght-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings applies. The 

Notice of General Announcement was published in the Maryland Register on December I, 2014. A 

public hearing was held on January 7, 2015. No one attended the public hearing and no comments 

were received on this matter. MDE would like to request that negative declarations be listed as part of 

Maryland's SIP at Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 52, Subpart V, Section 

52.1072. 

I certify that the electronic copy of this SIP submittal (compact disk enclosed) is an exact duplicate of 

the official hard copy. If you have any questions concerning this SIP action, please feel free to call me 

at (410) 537-3084 or Mr. George (Tad) S. Aburn, Jr., Director of the Air and Radiation Management 

Administration, at (410) 537-3255. --rw/ I

Add'l. Info: 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 lightduty 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. 

The public hearing will be held on January 

7, 2015, at 10 a.m. at the Department of the 

Environment, 1800 Washington Boulevard,

Dear~ Mr _arvm· 'Jk.~r, : 

The Environmen tal Protection Agency (EPA) finalized Control Techn iques Guidelines (CTG) for 

Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings (EPA-453/R-08-006) in September 2008. The 

Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) specifies that State Implementation Plans (SIPs) for nonattainment areas 

must include "reasonably available control measures" (RACM), including "reasonably available 

control technology" (RACT), for sources of emissions. The CAA also provides that for nonattainment 

areas classified as "moderate" or worse, states must revise their SIPs to include RACT for sources of 

VOC emissions for each category of VOC sources covered by all CTG documents issued after 

November 15, 1990, and prior to the area's date of attainment. As an alternative to adopting a RACf 

rule, a state or local agency may adopt a negative declaration documenting that it has no stationary 

sources or emitting fac ilities to which the CTG is applicable. The negative declaration must go through 

the same public review requirements as any other SIP submittal. 

The Maryland Department of the Environment (MOE) has conducted a review of potential sources 

subject to the requirements of the CTG for Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings and 

has determined that there are no sources in the State to which the CTG applies. Maryland previously 

had one source that met the criteria for the Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings CTG 

which has permanently shut down and dismantled all equipment as of September 2005. An inspection 

report of the General Motors Truck Group plant in Baltimore City is attached as confi rmation. Please 

contact myself or Mr. Frank Courtright at 410-537-3255 if you have need for any further information.

Statement of the Air and Radiation Management Administration 

Department of the Environment 

for the 

Public Hearing Relating to the General Notice published to announce Maryland’s Negative 

Declaration for the Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings Control 

Techniques Guidelines (CTG)

 held on January 7, 2015 

Baltimore, MD 

My name is Carolyn Jones. I am a Regulatory Engineer in the Regulation 

Development Division 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. 

Public notice and point of contact were made available at the Air and 

Radiation Management Administration webpage titled “Air & 

Radiation Regulations Public Hearings, Meetings and Request for Comments”, 

from November 25, 2014 to January 7, 2015. 

Notice of this hearing was submitted for review to the State Clearinghouse. 

A copy of this notice is being submitted for the record. 

The Department of the Environment is holding this public hearing in order to 

announce the Secretary of the Department of the Environment intends to submit a 

negative declaration to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's 

(EPA’s) Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for the Automobile and Light-Duty 

Truck Assembly Coatings category. The CTG document for this category is 

references as “EPA-453/R-08-006”. As an alternative to adopting a reasonably 

available control technologies rule, a state may adopt a negative declaration 

documenting that it has no stationary sources or emitting facilities to which the 

CTG is applicable. 

1 
This 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 light-duty truck assembly 

facilities in the State and none are expected in the near future. Secretary Summer’s 

has written a letter to Mr. Shawn Garvin, the Regional Administrator of EPA 

Region III, that states Maryland does not have any automobile or light-duty truck 

assembly facilities. 

There is no emission reduction expected as a result of this action and there is 

no economic impact on affected sources or the Department. 

This is the state’s negative declaration for this CTG category. This negative 

declaration will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as a 

revision to Maryland’s State Implementation Plan. 

Consideration of Comments 

The Department will consider all comments before making a decision to 

submit this negative declaration to EPA.

13 truck assembly coating operations. The source category
 

14 includes the coatings that are applied to new automobile
 

15 or new light-duty truck bodies, or body parts for new
 

16 automobiles or new light-duty trucks. These coatings are
 

17 applied at automobile or light-duty truck assembly
 

18 plants. The large majority of these coatings are
 

19 specifically formulated, marketed and sold for this
 

20 purpose. There are no automobile or light-duty truck
