          - 40 CFR Part 62
          - [RO3-OAR-2005-MD-0008; FRL-7996-8] 

# AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

# ACTION:

Proposed rule. 

# SUMMARY:

EPA is proposing to approve the May 12, 2005 negative declaration letter submitted by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE). The negative declaration certifies that existing CISWI units, subject to Clean Air Act (the Act) requirements of sections 111(d) and 129 and the related emissions guidelines (EG), have been permanently shut down and have been dismantled in the State of Maryland.

                        In the Final Rules section of this                         **Federal Register**                        , EPA is approving the MDE certification as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no adverse comments. If no adverse comments are received in response to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA                               ( print page 53616)                            receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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 October 11, 2005.

Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through RME, regulations.gov or e-mail.

If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
