Dear Secretary Summers:

On June 23, 2011, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
received a revision to the Maryland State Implementation Plan (SIP) from
the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE).  The SIP revision
pertains to the adoption of EPA’s Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG)
for miscellaneous metal and plastic parts coating and includes
amendments to Regulation .07 and new Regulation .07-2 under COMAR
26.11.19 – Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes.  EPA
has determined that the submittal is administratively and technically
complete, and is reviewing it to prepare a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking.  

If members of your staff have any questions, they may direct them to Ms.
Irene Shandruk, at (215) 814-2166.  She is the principal contact for
this rulemaking.    

Sincerely,

	

                                                                    	   
   /s/

         Diana Esher, Director

                          			         Air Protection Division
