AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is approving State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions
submitted by the State of Maryland. These revisions establish statewide
applicability for Maryland's category-specific volatile organic
compound (VOC) reasonably available control technology (RACT)
regulations, lower the applicability threshold for VOC RACT
regulations, and correct deficiencies in Maryland's Stage I Vapor
Recovery rule. These revisions were submitted to comply with the RACT
``Catch-up'' and ``Fix-up'' provisions of the Clean Air Act (the Act).
The intended effect of this action is to approve revisions to
Maryland's category-specific VOC RACT regulations, including Stage I.
This action is being taken in accordance with the SIP submittal and
revision provisions of the Act.
DATES: This final rule is effective on March 7, 1995 unless notice is
received on or before February 6, 1995 that adverse or critical
comments will be submitted. If the effective date is delayed, timely
notice will be published in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 8, 1993 and July 19, 1993, the State
of Maryland submitted revisions to its ozone SIP to establish statewide
applicability for Maryland's VOC RACT regulations, lower the
applicability threshold for VOC RACT regulations, and correct
deficiencies in Maryland's Stage I Vapor Recovery (Stage I) regulation.
These revisions were submitted to comply with the RACT ``Catch-up'' and
``Fix-up'' provisions of the Act. Previously, on April 5, 1991, April
2, 1992, and January 18, 1993, Maryland submitted SIP revisions to
comply with the RACT Fix-up requirements. These submittals also contain
revisions to Maryland's Stage I regulation.
This rulemaking action addresses revisions to Maryland's Stage I
regulation (COMAR 26.11.13.04) submitted by Maryland on April 5, 1991,
April 2, 1992, January 18, 1993, June 8, 1993 and July 19, 1993. This
rulemaking action also addresses revisions to Maryland's VOC RACT
regulations, COMAR 26.11.11.02, 26.11.11.04, 26.11.13.01, 26.11.13.02,
26.11.13.07, 26.11.19.01, 26.11.19.02A, F and H, and 26.11.19.10,
submitted on June 8, 1993 and July 19, 1993.
Maryland's June 8, 1993 and July 19, 1993 submittals also contain
revisions to Maryland's generic VOC RACT and minor source regulations,
COMAR 26.11.19.02G and 26.11.06.06 A and B, respectively. Revisions to
COMAR 26.11.19.02G and 26.11.06.06 A and B are the subject of a
separate rulemaking action.
I. Background
RACT Fix-up Requirement
Under the pre-amended Act (i.e the Act prior to the 1990
Amendments), ozone nonattainment areas were required to adopt RACT
rules for sources of VOC emissions. EPA issued three sets of control
technique guideline documents (CTGs), establishing a ``presumptive
norm'' for RACT for various categories of VOC sources. The three sets
of CTGs were (1) Group I--issued before January 1978 (15 CTGs); (2)
Group II--issued in 1978 (9 CTGs); and (3) Group III--issued in the
early 1980's (5 CTGs). Those sources not covered by a CTG were called
non-CTG sources.
EPA determined that an area's SIP-approved attainment date
established which RACT rules the area needed to adopt and implement.
Under pre-amended section 172(a)(1), ozone nonattainment areas were
generally required to attain the ozone standard by December 31, 1982.
Those areas that submitted an attainment demonstration projecting
attainment by that date were required to adopt RACT for sources covered
by the Group I and II CTGs. Those areas that sought an extension of the
attainment date under section 172(a)(2) to as late as December 31, 1987
were required to adopt RACT for all CTG sources and for all major non-
CTG sources (i.e. sources having potential VOC emissions of 100 tons
per year (TPY) or more).
Under the pre-amended Act, EPA designated the Baltimore, Washington
DC, and Philadelphia areas as nonattainment. Under the pre-amended Act,
the Baltimore area included the City of Baltimore and Anne Arundel,
Baltimore, Carroll, Harford, and Howard Counties. Under the pre-amended
Act, the Washington DC area included Montgomery and Prince George's
Counties in Maryland, as well as the District of Columbia and a portion
of Northern Virginia. Under the pre-amended Act, the Philadelphia
nonattainment area did not include any areas in the State of Maryland.
The Baltimore and Washington DC nonattainment areas each
established a pre-enactment (i.e. prior to enactment of the 1990
Amendments) attainment date of December 31, 1987 and, therefore, were
required to adopt RACT for Group I, II, and III CTG categories as well
as non-CTG VOC sources with the potential to emit 100 TPY or more.
However, these areas did not attain the ozone standard by the approved
attainment date. On May 26, 1988, EPA notified the Governor of Maryland
that portions of Maryland's SIP were [[Page 2019]] inadequate to attain
and maintain the ozone standard and requested that deficiencies in the
existing SIP be corrected (EPA's SIP Call). On November 15, 1990,
amendments to the 1977 Clean Air Act were enacted. Pub. L. 101-549, 104
Stat. 2399, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q. In amended section
182(a)(2)(A) of the Act, Congress statutorily adopted the requirement
that pre-enactment ozone nonattainment areas which retained their
designation of nonattainment and were classified as marginal or above
fix their deficient RACT rules for ozone by May 15, 1991. This is known
as the RACT fix-up requirement.
Under the amended Act, EPA and the States were required to review
the designation of areas and to redesignate areas as nonattainment for
ozone if the air quality data from 1987, 1988, and 1989 indicated that
the area was violating the ozone standard. On November 6, 1991 and
November 30, 1992, EPA issued those designations. 56 FR 56694 and 57 FR
56762. The Baltimore and Philadelphia nonattainment areas retained
their designations of nonattainment and were classified as severe. The
Washington DC nonattainment area also retained its designation of
nonattainment and was classified as serious. 56 FR 56694 (Nov. 6,
1991).
RACT Catch-up Requirement
Section 182(b)(2) of the amended Act requires States to adopt RACT
rules for all areas designated nonattainment for ozone and classified
as moderate or above. There are three parts to the section 182(b)(2)
RACT requirement: (1) RACT for sources covered by an existing CTG (i.e.
a CTG issued prior to the enactment of the Amendments); (2) RACT for
sources covered by a post-enactment CTG; and (3) all major sources not
covered by a CTG. This RACT requirement makes nonattainment areas that
previously were exempt from RACT requirements ``catch up'' to those
nonattainment areas that became subject to those requirements during an
earlier period, and therefore is known as the RACT Catch-up
requirement. In addition, it requires newly designated ozone
nonattainment areas to adopt RACT rules consistent with those for
previously designated nonattainment areas.
Since the Baltimore and Washington DC nonattainment areas were
previously required to adopt RACT for Group I, II, and III CTG sources,
to meet the RACT Catch-up requirement, Maryland was not required to
submit additional existing CTG RACT rules for those areas. However, the
size threshold for defining a major source for severe and serious areas
has been lowered under the amended Act to cover sources that have the
potential to emit 25 and 50 TPY of VOC or more, respectively.
Therefore, Maryland was required to adopt RACT rules for all sources
that exceed these cut-offs.
The pre-enactment Washington DC and Philadelphia nonattainment
areas retained their nonattainment designations, and EPA extended the
boundaries of these nonattainment areas. The Washington DC
nonattainment area was extended to include Calvert, Charles, and
Frederick Counties in Maryland. The Philadelphia nonattainment area was
expanded to include Cecil County, Maryland. 56 FR 56694 (November 6,
1991). Therefore, under the RACT Catch-up provision of section
182(b)(2), the State was required, for these portions of the
nonattainment areas, to submit RACT rules covering all pre-enactment
CTGs, to identify all sources the State anticipates will be covered by
a post-enactment CTG and to submit non-CTG rules for all remaining
major sources with the potential to emit 50 and 25 TPY VOC or more in
the Washington DC and Philadelphia nonattainment areas, respectively.
As stated above, EPA and the States reviewed the designation of
areas and redesignate areas as nonattainment for ozone using air
quality data from 1987, 1988, and 1989. EPA issued those designations
on November 6, 1991 and November 30, 1992. 56 FR 56694 and 57 FR 56762.
The Kent and Queen Anne's Counties area, which was designated
unclassifiable/attainment prior to enactment, was redesignated to
nonattainment and classified as marginal. The Counties of Allegany,
Caroline, Dorchester, Garrett, St. Mary's, Somerset, Talbot,
Washington, Wicomico, and Worcester retained their unclassifiable/
attainment designations. Under the pre-amended Act, these areas were
not required to meet the RACT requirement for nonattainment areas.
The entire State of Maryland, including Kent, Queen Anne's,
Allegany, Caroline, Dorchester, Garrett, St. Mary's, Somerset, Talbot,
Washington, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties, is located in the ozone
transport region (OTR) that was statutorily created by section 184 of
the Act. As such, Maryland was required to adopt RACT rules for all CTG
and non-CTG sources throughout the State by November 15, 1992.
Therefore, under the RACT Catch-up provision of section 182(b)(2),
Maryland was required to submit RACT rules for Kent, Queen Anne's,
Allegany, Caroline, Dorchester, Garrett, St. Mary's, Somerset, Talbot,
Washington, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties covering all pre-enactment
CTGs, to identify all sources the State anticipates will be covered by
a post-enactment CTG and to submit non-CTG rules for all remaining
major sources having the potential to emit 50 TPY of VOC or more.
In summary, to fully comply with the RACT Catch-up provisions of
the Act, Maryland is required to expand its RACT regulations to
statewide. It must adopt all RACT regulations for all CTG sources and
all major non-CTG VOC sources (VOC sources with the potential to emit
25 TPY in Cecil County and the Baltimore nonattainment area
and 50 TPY in the remainder of the State) throughout the
State. Sources must comply with these provisions as expeditiously as
possible, but no later than May 15, 1993.
State Submittals
On April 5, 1991, September 20, 1991, April 2, 1992, January 18,
1993, June 8, 1993 and July 19, 1993, Maryland submitted SIP revisions
to address the RACT fix-up requirement. Portions of Maryland's June 8,
1993 and July 19, 1993 submittals also address the RACT Catch-up
requirement.
EPA proposed approval of portions of Maryland's April 5, 1991
submittal on September 27, 1993 (58 FR 50307). EPA proposed approval of
portions of Maryland's September 20, 1991, April 2, 1992 and January
18, 1993 submittals on and September 30, 1993 (58 FR 51028). Final
action on this proposal was taken on September 7, 1994 (59 FR 46180).
EPA proposed approval of one regulation contained in these submittals,
Standards for Adhesive Application, on February 16, 1993 (58 FR 8565).
Final action on this regulation was taken on November 30, 1993 (58 FR
63085).
The portions of Maryland's April 5, 1991, April 2, 1992, January
18, 1993 June 8, 1993, and July 19, 1993 submittals pertaining to
Maryland's Stage I (COMAR 26.11.13.04) regulation are addressed in this
rulemaking action. Maryland's September 20, 1991 submittal did not
include any revisions to Stage I. This rulemaking action also addresses
revisions to Maryland's VOC RACT regulations, COMAR 26.11.11.02,
26.11.11.04, 26.11.13.01, 26.11.13.02, 26.11.13.07, 26.11.19.01,
26.11.19.02A, F and H, and 26.11.19.10, submitted on June 8, 1993 and
July 19, 1993.
Maryland's April 5, 1991, June 8, 1993 and July 19, 1993 submittals
also contain revisions to Maryland's generic VOC RACT and minor source
[[Page 2020]] regulations, COMAR 26.11.19.02G and 26.11.06.06A and B,
respectively. Revisions to COMAR 26.11.19.02G and 26.11.06.06A and B
are the subject of a separate rulemaking action.
II. EPA Evaluation and Action
VOCs contribute to the production of ground level ozone and smog.
These rules were adopted as part of an effort to achieve the National
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. The following is EPA's
evaluation and action for the State of Maryland. Detailed descriptions
of the amendments addressed in this document, and EPA's evaluation of
the amendments, are contained in the technical support document (TSD)
prepared for these revisions. Copies of the TSD are available from the
EPA Regional office listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document.
RACT Catch-up Requirements
Because Maryland is in the OTR, the entire State is subject to the
RACT Catch-up provisions of section 182(b)(2) of the Act. Therefore,
Maryland is required to (1) adopt statewide RACT rules covering all
pre-enactment CTGs, (2) identify all sources the State anticipates will
be covered by a post-enactment CTG and (3) submit non-CTG rules for all
remaining major sources. The Baltimore and Philadelphia nonattainment
areas are classified as severe. Therefore a major source in these areas
is a source having the potential to emit 25 TPY of VOC or more. In the
remainder of the State, a major source is defined as a source having
the potential to emit 50 TPY of VOC or more.
State Submittal
Maryland had previously adopted all applicable Group I, II, and III
CTGs. On February 22, 1993, Maryland submitted a negative declaration
letter to EPA indicating that Maryland has no sources covered by the
CTGs which Maryland has not adopted. Through the following revisions,
Maryland has expanded the applicability of its CTG regulations to
statewide and lowered the major source threshold for non-CTG RACT.
(1) Maryland revised the applicability of its VOC stationary source
regulations, COMAR 26.11.11.02 (Asphalt Paving), COMAR 26.11.11.04
(Petroleum Refineries), COMAR 26.11.13 (Control of Gasoline and
Volatile Organic Compound Storage and Handling), and COMAR 26.11.19
(Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes), to statewide.
Under COMAR 26.11.11, sources in the newly regulated areas must comply
by the effective date of the regulation, April 26, 1993. Under COMAR
26.11.13 and the category-specific regulations in COMAR 26.11.19,
sources in Maryland's newly regulated areas must comply as
expeditiously as possible, but no later than May 15, 1993. Sources in
Maryland's pre-enactment nonattainment areas must already be in
compliance with COMAR 26.11.11, 26.11.13, and 26.11.19.
(2) Maryland also added a definition for the term ``major
stationary source of VOC'' (COMAR 26.11.19.01B(4)) to its VOC
regulations. This term means any stationary source with the potential
to emit (a) 25 TPY of VOC or more in the City of Baltimore and Anne
Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil, Harford, and Howard Counties and
(b) 50 TPY in the remainder of the State.
(3) Finally, Maryland changed the applicability threshold for COMAR
26.11.19.10: Graphic Arts, from 550 pounds per day (100 TPY) to the
major source threshold defined in COMAR 26.11.19.01B(4).
EPA's Evaluation
The revisions listed above are approvable as SIP revisions because
they comply with the RACT Catch-up requirements of the Act. Through
these revisions, Maryland has met the first major Catch-up requirement,
which was to adopt statewide RACT rules covering all pre-enactment
CTGs.
The remaining requirements, (1) to identify all sources the State
anticipates will be covered by a post-enactment CTG and (2) to submit
non-CTG rules for all remaining major sources, are addressed through
Maryland's generic VOC RACT regulation, COMAR 26.11.19.02G. Revisions
to COMAR 26.11.19.02G are the subject of a separate rulemaking action.
RACT Fix-up Requirements
Maryland was required to correct deficiencies in existing VOC RACT
regulations applicable in pre-enactment nonattainment areas. EPA
identified deficiencies in Maryland's Stage I regulation, COMAR
26.11.13.04, in a June 14, 1988 letter to Maryland which followed EPA's
SIP Call. In order to correct the identified deficiencies, Maryland
must revise its Stage I regulation to conform to EPA guidance,
including the Stage I CTG and model rules.
Specifically, Maryland is required to revise its Stage I bulk
terminal regulation to require vapor control systems to collect all
vapors from its loading racks and destroy at least 90% of these vapors.
Maryland is required to adopt a bulk gasoline plant regulation which
conforms with EPA policy. Additionally, Maryland is required to revise
its Stage I small storage tank regulation to require that all tanks
installed prior to January 1, 1979 with a 2000 gallon capacity or
greater and all tanks constructed after December 31, 1978 with a 250
gallon capacity or greater be equipped with a vapor control system.
State Submittal
Maryland revised its regulation, COMAR 26.11.13.04: Control of
Gasoline and VOC Storage--Loading Operations (A. Bulk Terminals, B.
Bulk Plants, C. Small Storage Tanks, and D. General Requirements), to
respond to the requirements listed above. Additionally, Maryland
expanded the applicability of this regulation to statewide. Maryland
also made a minor revision to its definition of the term ``bulk
gasoline plant'' (COMAR 26.11.13.01B(1)), for clarification.
A. Bulk Terminals
Maryland's Stage I bulk gasoline terminal regulation, which covers
facilities with daily gasoline throughput greater than 20,000, now
requires vapor control systems at loading racks to collect all vapors
and destroy at least 90% of these vapors.
B. Bulk Plants
Maryland's bulk gasoline plant regulates facilities with daily
gasoline throughput between 4,000 gallons and 20,000 gallons. This
regulation conforms with EPA's model rule requiring vapor balance
systems and top submerged or bottom loading systems. This regulation
also prohibits the transfer of gasoline into a storage tank unless
Stage I is properly used and requires that the vapor control system be
leak tight.
C. Small Storage Tanks
Maryland revised the capacity limits in Maryland's small storage
tank Stage I regulation. The new capacity cutoffs are 250 gallons for
``new'' tanks constructed after May 8, 1991 and 2,000 gallons for
``old'' tanks constructed before May 8, 1991.
D. General Requirements
This section prohibits the loading of VOC or gasoline into a tank
truck, railroad car, or other contrivance unless the loading
connections on the vapor lines are equipped with leak tight fittings
which automatically close upon disconnection, and the equipment is
maintained and operated to prevent avoidable liquid leaks during
loading and unloading. [[Page 2021]]
EPA's Evaluation
These revisions are approvable because they correct deficiencies in
Maryland's existing Stage I regulation and expand the applicability to
statewide to conform with the RACT Fix-up and Catch-up requirements of
the Act. These regulations now conform to EPA guidance.
In COMAR 26.11.13.04C, Small Storage Tanks, Maryland's use of an
alternative date (May 8, 1991 instead of January 1, 1979) to
distinguish between new and old storage tanks is acceptable because it
conforms with the spirit of EPA's guidance. The January 1, 1979 date
was used in the Stage I model rule found in EPA's April 1978 document,
``Regulatory Guidance for the Control of Volatile Organic Compound
Emissions from 15 Categories of Stationary Sources,'' to grandfather
existing tanks in newly regulated areas. Maryland used the May 8, 1991
because that was the effective date of the first amendments to this
regulation made to comply with the RACT Fix-up requirements.
EPA is approving these SIP revisions without prior proposal because
the Agency views them as noncontroversial amendments and anticipates no
adverse comments. However, in a separate document in this Federal
Register publication, EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revisions
should adverse or critical comments be filed. This action will be
effective on March 7, 1995 unless, within 30 days of publication,
adverse or critical comments are received.
If EPA receives 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 then be addressed
in a subsequent final rule based on this action serving as a proposed
rule. EPA 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, the public is advised that
this action will be effective on March 7, 1995.
As required by 40 CFR 51.102, the State of Maryland has certified
that public hearings with regard to these revisions were held in
Maryland on September 30, 1986 in Baltimore; on October 11, 1990 in
Annapolis; on November 25, 1991 in Baltimore; on November 17, 18, and
20, 1992 in Frederick, Centreville, and Columbia, respectively; and on
June 8, 1993 in Baltimore.
Final Action
Because these revisions comply with the RACT Fix-up and Catch-up
requirements of section 182 of the Act, EPA is approving the amendments
to Maryland's VOC RACT regulations, including Stage I. Specifically,
EPA is approving amendments to COMAR 26.11.11.02, 26.11.11.04,
26.11.13.01, 26.11.13.02, 26.11.13.04, 26.11.13.07, 26.11.19.01,
26.11.19.02A, F and H, and 26.11.19.10. These revisions were submitted
to EPA by the State of Maryland as SIP revisions on April 5, 1991,
April 2, 1992, January 18, 1993, June 8, 1993, and July 19, 1993.
Nothing in this action should be construed as permitting or
allowing or establishing a precedent for any future request for
revision to any SIP. Each request for revision to the SIP shall be
considered separately in light of specific technical, economic, and
environmental factors and in relation to relevant statutory and
regulatory requirements.
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., EPA
must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis assessing the impact of
any proposed or final rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604.
Alternatively, EPA may certify that the rule will not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small
entities include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises,
and government entities with jurisdiction over populations of less than
50,000.
SIP approvals under section 110, and subchapter I, Part D of the
Act do not create any new requirements but simply approve requirements
that the state is already imposing. Therefore, because the federal SIP
approval does not impose any new requirements, I certify that it does
not have a significant impact on any small entities affected. Moreover,
due to the nature of the federal-state relationship under the Act,
preparation of a flexibility analysis would constitute federal inquiry
into the economic reasonableness of State action. The Act forbids EPA
to base its actions concerning SIPs on such grounds. Union Electric Co.
v. U.S. EPA, 427 U.S. 246, 255-66 (1976); 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2).
This action has been classified as a Table 2 action for signature
by the Regional Administrator under the procedures published in the
Federal Register on January 19, 1989 (54 FR 2214-2225), as revised by
an October 4, 1993 memorandum from Michael H. Shapiro, Acting Assistant
Administrator for Air and Radiation. The OMB has exempted this
regulatory action from E.O. 12866 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 March 7, 1995. 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 may not be challenged later in proceedings
to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
The Regional Administrator's decision to approve or disapprove the
SIP revision, pertaining to Maryland's VOC RACT Catch-ups and Stage I
Vapor Recovery, will be based on whether it meets the requirements of
section 110(a)(2)(A)-(K), and Part D of the Clean Air Act, as amended,
and EPA regulations in 40 CFR Part 51.
