Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Maryland; Reasonably Available 

Control Technology Requirements for 

Volatile Organic Compounds 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to remove the 

conditional and limited status of its 

approval of the State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the 

State of Maryland. The revisions pertain 

to Maryland’s major source volatile 

organic compound (VOC) reasonable 

available control technology (RACT) 

regulation and minor VOC source 

requirements. EPA is proposing to fully 

approve these revisions because 

Maryland has satisfied the terms and 

conditions imposed in EPA’s 

conditional limited approval published 

on September 4, 1998 and because EPA 

has approved all of the case-by-case 

RACT determinations and category 

specific VOC RACT and generic VOC 

RACT regulations. In the Final Rules 

section of this Federal Register, EPA is 

approving the State’s SIP submittal as a 

direct final rule without prior proposal 

because the Agency views this as a 

noncontroversial submittal and 

anticipates no adverse comments. A 

detailed rationale for the approval is set 

forth in the direct final rule. If no 

adverse comments are received in 

response to this action, no further 

activity is contemplated. If EPA receives 

adverse comments, the direct final rule 

will be withdrawn and all public 

comments received will be addressed in 

a subsequent final rule based on this 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period. Any parties 

interested in commenting on this action 

should do so at this time. 

DATES: Comments must be received in 

writing by April 24, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; District 

of Columbia; Reasonably Available 

Control Technology Under the 8-Hour 

Ozone National Ambient Air Quality 

Standard 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the District of 

Columbia. This SIP revision consists of 

a demonstration that the District of 

Columbia meets the requirements of 

reasonably available control technology 

(RACT) for nitrogen oxides (NOX) and 

volatile organic compounds (VOCs) set 

forth by the Clean Air Act (CAA). This 

SIP revision demonstrates that all 

requirements for RACT are met either 

through: certification that previously 

adopted RACT controls in the District of 

Columbia’s SIP that were approved by 

EPA under the 1-hour ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) 

are based on the currently available 

technically and economically feasible 

controls, and that they continue to 

represent RACT for the 8-hour 

implementation purposes; and a 

negative declaration demonstrating that 

no facilities exist in the District of 

Columbia for the applicable control 

technology guideline (CTG) categories. 

This action is being taken under the 

CAA. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before April 24, 2009.
