ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2010-0594; FRL-9231-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Maryland; Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions From 
Industrial Solvent Cleaning Operations; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the direct final 
rule to approve revisions to Maryland's State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). This SIP revision consists of an addition to Maryland's Volatile 
Organic Compounds from Specific Processes Regulation. Maryland 
Department of the Environment (MDE) adopted standards for industrial 
solvent cleaning operations that satisfy the reasonably available 
control technology (RACT) requirements for sources of volatile organic 
compounds (VOCs) covered by control techniques guidelines (CTG). In the 
direct final rule published on September 29, 2010 (75 FR 59973), we 
stated that if we received any adverse comments by October 29, 2010, 
the rule would be withdrawn and would not take effect. EPA received an 
adverse comment within the comment period. EPA will address the comment 
received in a subsequent final action based upon the proposed action 
also published on September 29, 2010 (75 FR 60013). EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this action.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 75 FR 59973, September 29, 
2010, is withdrawn as of November 29, 2010.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket number EPA-R03-OAR-2010-0594 for 
this action. The index to the docket is available electronically at 
http://www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at Air Protection Division, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street,
