SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Summary of SIP Revision

On February 6, 1998, October 20,

2000, October 31, 2000 and November

16, 2000 the State of Maryland

submitted formal revisions to its SIP.

The SIP revisions consist of a new

regulation which replaces the existing

regulation for control of VOC from EPOs

(COMAR 26.11.19.19), establish VOC

RACT regulations for facilities that

recycle bakery and confectionary waste

(COMAR 26.11.19.28), adopt by

reference the EPA definition of VOC

(COMAR 26.11.01.01B(53)), update the

Maryland regulation references to the

federal definition of VOC at 40 CFR

51.100(s) and the federal PSD

regulations at 40 CFR 52.21 PSD

(COMAR 26.11.01.01B(37) and (53) and

COMAR 26.11.06.14) and include other

miscellaneous revisions (COMAR

26.11.01.01B(6–1) and COMAR

26.11.06.06A(1)(d)) . These regulatory

revisions became effective on October 2,

2000, October 16, 2000, June 30, 1997

and September 22, 1997.

The amendment to COMAR

26.11.01.01B adds the definition of

‘‘commercial bakery oven’’ to the

general definitions section of the

Maryland air regulations. EPA approved

Maryland’s commercial bakery oven

RACT regulation, including a definition

for ‘‘commercial bakery oven’’, found at

COMAR 26.11.19.21 on October 15,

1997 (62 FR 53544). The definition for

‘‘commercial bakery oven’’ found in

COMAR 26.11.19.21 is identical to the

definition being added at COMAR

26.11.01.01B(6–1). The addition of the

definition for the term ‘‘commercial

bakery oven’’ is approvable.

The amendment to COMAR

26.11.01.01B(53) adopts by reference the

EPA definition of ‘‘volatile organic

compound’’ found at Title 40, Part

51.100(s) of the Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR), as per the 1996

edition. The amendment ensures that

Maryland’s definition of the term is

identical to the federal definition. EPA

defines VOCs as any organic compound

that contributes to ground-level ozone

formation and lists as exclusions the

compounds that have negligible

photochemical reactivity. As EPA

completes its reactivity testing, the list

of exempt compounds expands. In the

past, each time that EPA amended its’

definition of VOC to include another

exempt compound Maryland then had

to amend its definition of VOC to add

the newly exempted compound.

Amending Maryland’s definition

requires draft regulations to be

prepared, processed, put through public

hearing and comment, adopted and then

submitted to EPA. Since Maryland

accepts the EPA test results on VOC

exempt compounds it is appropriate for

Maryland to adopt the federal definition

of VOC as it appears in 40 CFR § 51.100

(s) as of a specified date.

COMAR 26.11.01.01B(53) was

subsequently amended to update the

federal reference for incorporation of the

EPA definition of VOC found at 40 CFR

§ 51.100(s) from the 1996 to the 1999

edition of the CFR.

The amendments to COMAR

26.11.01.01B(37) and COMAR

26.11.06.14 update the reference for

incorporation of the federal PSD

regulations found at 40 CFR § 52.21

from the 1993 to the 1996 edition and

then again from the 1996 to the 1999

edition. These revisions are approvable.

The amendment to COMAR

26.11.06.06 A(1)(d) will clarify the

general VOC regulation and will affect

VOC sources that are currently, or will

be in the future, subject to a RACT

regulation in Chapter 19, VOCs from

Specific Processes. The amendment will

exempt any source that is subject to a

source specific regulation in Chapter 19

from the general VOC requirements in

COMAR 26.11.06.06. These

modifications are approvable.

The amendment to COMAR

26.11.19.19 will replace the existing

regulation and adopt a new regulation

for control of VOCs from expandable

polystyrene operations (EPO). On

October 15, 1997 (62 FR 53544) EPA

approved a new regulation which

established VOC RACT for EPOs. The

existing regulation requires VOC

emissions to be reduced through the use

of various control options including

incineration and a combination of low

VOC beads (7 percent or less) and

recycled material use. Since the

adoption of the existing regulation, the

bead manufacturers have been

successful in producing an ‘‘ultra low

VOC’’ bead (6 percent or less). These

‘‘ultra low VOC’’ beads, however,

cannot be used for all products. But the

production of the ‘‘ultra low VOC’’ bead

has made available other cost-effective

compliance options for specific product

types at the EPO facilities. The existing

regulation is being replaced with a new

regulation which allows the use of

conventional VOC control methods and

adds the use of ultra low VOC beads as

an additional alternative control option.

This regulation will further reduce VOC

emissions, encourage use of recycled

materials and is approvable.

A new regulation, COMAR

26.11.19.28, is being added for the

control of VOC emissions from bread

and snack food drying operations. The

purpose of the regulation is to establish

RACT standards for facilities that

recycle bakery and confectionary waste

products for use as animal feed. The

facilities dry the waste products to

reduce moisture content and in the

process VOCs are released. The new

regulation requires a source with VOC

emissions of 25 tons or more per year

to install a control device with 85% or

more removal efficiency to reduce

emissions from the dryer stack. The

regulation applies statewide and

includes compliance testing, monitoring

and recordkeeping requirements. The

regulation will reduce VOC emissions

and is approvable.

A more detailed analysis of

Maryland’s submittal is contained in a

Technical Support Document (TSD)

which is available from the Region III

office listed in the ADDRESSES section of

this notice.

II. Final Action

EPA is approving revisions to the

Maryland SIP that replace the existing

regulation and adopt a new regulation

for control of VOC from EPOs (COMAR

26.11.19.19), establish VOC RACT

regulations for facilities that recycle

bakery and confectionary waste

(COMAR 26.11.19.28), adopt by

reference the EPA definition of VOC

found at 40 CFR 51.100(s) (COMAR

26.11.01.01B(53)), update the Maryland

regulation references to the federal

definition of VOC at 40 CFR 51.100(s)

(COMAR 26.11.01.01B(53)) and the

federal PSD regulations at 40 CFR 52.21

(COMAR 26.11.01.01B(37) and

26.11.06.14), add a definition for the

term ‘‘commercial bakery oven’’

(COMAR 26.11.01.01B(6–1) and other

miscellaneous revisions (COMAR

26.11.06.06A(1)(d)). The revisions

became effective on October 2, 2000,

October 16, 2000, June 30, 1997 and

September 22,1997.

EPA is publishing this rule without

prior proposal because the Agency

views this as a noncontroversial

amendment and anticipates no adverse

comment since the revisions are

administrative changes to the state

regulations. However, in the ‘‘Proposed

Rules’’ section of today’s Federal

Register, EPA is publishing a separate

document that will serve as the proposal

to approve the SIP revision if adverse

comments are filed. This rule will be

effective on July 6, 2001 without further

notice unless EPA receives adverse

22926 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 88 / Monday, May 7, 2001 / Rules and Regulations

comment by June 6, 2001. If EPA

receives adverse comment, EPA will

publish a timely withdrawal in the

Federal Register informing the public

that the rule will not take effect. EPA

will address all public comments in a

subsequent final rule based on the

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a

second comment period on this action.

Any parties interested in commenting

must do so at this time.

III. Administrative Requirements

A. General Requirements

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and

therefore is not subject to review by the

Office of Management and Budget. This

action merely approves state law as

meeting federal requirements and

imposes no additional requirements

beyond those imposed by state law.

Accordingly, the Administrator certifies

that this rule will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601

et seq.). Because this rule approves preexisting requirements under state law

and does not impose any additional

enforceable duty beyond that required

by state law, it does not contain any

unfunded mandate or significantly or

uniquely affect small governments, as

described in the Unfunded Mandates

Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104–4).

This rule also does not have a

substantial direct effect on one or more

Indian tribes, on the relationship

between the Federal Government and

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of

power and responsibilities between the

Federal Government and Indian tribes,

as specified by Executive Order 13175

(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor

will it have substantial direct effects on

the States, on the relationship between

the national government and the States,

or on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government, as specified in

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,

August 10, 1999), because it merely

approves a state rule implementing a

federal standard, and does not alter the

relationship or the distribution of power

and responsibilities established in the

Clean Air Act. This rule also is not

subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR

19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not

economically significant.

In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s

role is to approve state choices,

provided that they meet the criteria of

the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the

absence of a prior existing requirement

for the State to use voluntary consensus

standards (VCS), EPA has no authority

to disapprove a SIP submission for

failure to use VCS. It would thus be

inconsistent with applicable law for

EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission,

to use VCS in place of a SIP submission

that otherwise satisfies the provisions of

the Clean Air Act. Thus, the

requirements of section 12(d) of the

National Technology Transfer and

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C.

272 note) do not apply. As required by

section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61

FR 4729, February 7, 1996), in issuing

this rule, EPA has taken the necessary

steps to eliminate drafting errors and

ambiguity, minimize potential litigation,

and provide a clear legal standard for

affected conduct. EPA has complied

with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR

8859, March 15, 1988) by examining the

takings implications of the rule in

accordance with the ‘‘Attorney

General’s Supplemental Guidelines for

the Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of

Unanticipated Takings’’ issued under

the executive order. This rule does not

impose an information collection

burden under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

B. Submission to Congress and the

Comptroller General

The Congressional Review Act, 5

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides

that before a rule may take effect, the

agency promulgating the rule must

submit a rule report, which includes a

copy of the rule, to each House of the

Congress and to the Comptroller General

of the United States. EPA will submit a

report containing this rule and other

required information to the U.S. Senate,

the U.S. House of Representatives, and

the Comptroller General of the United

States prior to publication of the rule in

the Federal Register. This rule is not a

‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.

804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of

this action must be filed in the United

States Court of Appeals for the

appropriate circuit by July 6, 2001.

Filing a petition for reconsideration by

the Administrator of this final rule does

not affect the finality of this rule for the

purposes of judicial review nor does it

extend the time within which a petition

for judicial review may be filed, and

shall not postpone the effectiveness of

such rule or action. This action granting

full approval of the State of Marylands’

volatile organic compounds regulations

and miscellaneous revisions may not be

challenged later in proceedings to

enforce its requirements. (See section

307(b)(2).)

I. What Action Is Being Taken by EPA

Today?

We are approving the South Carolina

State Plan, as submitted on September

19, 2000, for the control of air emissions

from HMIWIs, except for those HMIWIs

located in Indian Country. When EPA

developed our New Source Performance

Standard (NSPS) for HMIWIs, we also

developed EG to control air emissions

from older HMIWIs. (See 62 FR 48348–

48391, September 15, 1997, 40 CFR part

60, subpart Ce [Emission Guidelines and

Compliance Times for HMIWIs] and

subpart Ec [Standards of Performance

for HMIWIs for Which Construction is

Commenced After June 20, 1996]). The

South Carolina DHEC developed a State

Plan, as required by sections 111(d) and

129 of the Clean Air Act (the Act), to

adopt the EG into their body of

regulations, and we are acting today to

approve it.

We are publishing this action without

prior proposal because we view this as

a noncontroversial amendment and

anticipate no adverse comments.

However, in a separate document in this

Federal Register publication, we are

proposing to approve the revision

should significant, material, and adverse

comments be filed. This action is

effective July 6, 2001, unless by June 6,

2001, adverse or critical comments are

received. If we receive such comments,

this action will be withdrawn before the

effective date by publishing a

subsequent notice that will withdraw

the final action. All public comments

received will be addressed in a

subsequent final rule based on this

action serving as a proposed rule. We

will not institute a second comment

period on this action. Any parties

interested in commenting on this action

should do so at this time. If no such

comments are received, this action is

effective July 6, 2001.
