40 CFR Part 52

[MD167-3112b; FRL-7804-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Maryland, VOC RACT for Kaydon Ring and Seal, Inc.

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. The SIP revision pertains 
to a Consent Order establishing volatile organic compound (VOC) 
reasonably available control technology (RACT) for Kaydon Ring and 
Seal, Incorporated located in Baltimore, Maryland. In the Final Rules 
section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP 
submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal 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 action, no further activity is contemplated. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do 
so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by September 30, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by MD167-3112 by one of the 
following methods:
    A. Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow 
the on-line instructions for submitting comments.
    B. E-mail: [email protected].
    C. Mail: Makeba Morris, Chief, Air Quality Planning Branch, 
Mailcode 3AP21, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650

Such deliveries are only accepted during the Docket's normal hours of 
operation, and special arrangements should be made for deliveries of 
boxed information.
    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. MD167-3112. 
EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the 
public docket

[[Page 53027]]

without change, including any personal information provided, unless the 
comment includes information claimed to be Confidential Business 
Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted 
by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI or 
otherwise protected through regulations.gov or e-mail. The Federal 
regulations.gov website is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means 
EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you 
provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-mail comment 
directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov, your e-mail 
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the 
comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on the 
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you 
include your name and other contact information in the body of your 
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your 
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for 
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic 
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of 
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    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 
of the Environment, 1800 Washington Boulevard, Suite 705, Baltimore, 
Maryland 21230.
