[MD033-7157b; FRL-5603-2]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Maryland 1990 Base Year Emission Inventory
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the State of Maryland for the purpose of
establishing 1990 ozone base year emission inventories for the Maryland
ozone nonattainment areas. In the Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as
noncontroversial SIP revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this proposed
rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn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 on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on
this action should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments must be received in writing by October 28, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to David Arnold, Section Chief,
Ozone/CO & Mobile Sources Section, Mailcode 3AT21, Environmental
Protection Agency, Region III, 841 Chestnut Building, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania 19107. Copies of the documents relevant to this action are
available for public inspection during normal business hours at the EPA
office listed above; and Maryland Department of the Environment, 2500
Broening Highway, Baltimore, Maryland 21224.
