ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve Maryland's 111(d)/129 plan (the 
``plan'') for the control of air pollutant emissions from hospital/
medical/infectious waste incinerators (HMIWIs). The plan was developed 
and submitted to EPA by the Maryland Department of the Environment, Air 
and Radiation Management Administration (MARMA), on April 14, 2000. EPA 
is publishing this approval action without prior proposal because we 
view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse 
comments.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by October 5, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Denis M. Lohman, Acting Chief, 
Technical Assessment Branch, Mailcode 3AP22, Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103-
2029.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James B. Topsale at (215) 814-2190, or

final rule, of the same title, which is located in the rules section of
