ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Parts 52 and 81

[MD44-1-3001b, MD44-2-3002b; FRL-5315-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Designation of 
Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Redesignation of the Baltimore 
Carbon Monoxide Area to Attainment and Approval of the Area's 
Maintenance Plan and Emission Inventory; State of Maryland

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 
approving a maintenance plan and a request to redesignate the Baltimore 
carbon monoxide nonattainment area, from nonattainment to attainment 
for CO. 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 a 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 November 30, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to 
Marcia L. Spink, Associate Director, Air Programs, Mailcode 3AT00, U.S. 
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
