Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
State of Maryland; Revised Definitions and Recordkeeping Provisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revisions submitted by the State of Maryland. The revisions adopt by 
reference the EPA definition of volatile organic compounds (VOC), 
update the Federal citation of the prevention of significant 
deterioration (PSD) requirements references in Maryland's definitions 
and general emission standards provisions, and revise the general 
records and information requirements for installations and sources. In 
the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving these revisions to the State of Maryland's SIP as a direct 
final rule in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act. If 
EPA receives no adverse comments on the direct final rule, EPA will not 
take further action. If EPA receives adverse comments on the direct 
final rule, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not 
take effect. EPA will address all public comments 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 June 27, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Harold A. Frankford, 
Office of Air Programs, Mailcode 3AP20, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. 
Copies of the documents relevant to this action are available for 
public inspection during normal business hours at the Air Protection 
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch 
Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103; and the Maryland Department

document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For further information, please see the 
information provided in the direct final action, with the same title, 
that is located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this 
Federal Register publication. Please note that if EPA receives adverse 
comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of the direct final rule 
and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the direct 
final rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the direct final 
rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

    Dated: May 1, 2002.
