ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 62
[EPA-R03-OAR-2008-MD-0209; FRL-8552-6]
Approval and Promulgation of State Air Quality Plans for
Designated Facilities and Pollutants; State of Maryland; Control of
Large Municipal Waste Combustor (LMWC) Emissions From Existing
Facilities
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the Maryland Department of the
Environment (MDE) large municipal waste combustor plan (the plan)
revision for implementing Clean Air Act (the Act) emission guideline
(EG) amendments promulgated by EPA on May 10, 2006. The plan revision
establishes revised emission limits, monitoring, and recordkeeping
requirements for existing LMWC units with a unit capacity greater than
250 tons per day (TPD). An existing LMWC unit is one for which
construction commenced on or before September 20, 1994. In the Final
Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's
111(d)/129 plan revision 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 description 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in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 May 8, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID Number EPA-
R03-OAR-2008-MD-0209 by one of the following methods:

Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R03-OAR-
2008-MD-0209. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be
included in the public docket without change, and may be made available
online at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal
information provided, unless the comment includes information claimed
to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information
that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site
is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without
going through http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD-ROM you submit. 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.
Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the
http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket
materials are available either electronically in http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy during normal business hours at the
Air Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region
III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. Copies of the
State submittal are available at the Maryland Department of the
Environment, 1800 Washington Boulevard, Suite 705, Baltimore, Maryland
21230.
