ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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: morris.makeba@epa.gov.
C. Mail: Makeba Morris, Chief, Air Quality Planning Branch,
Mailcode 3AP21, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650
Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.
D. Hand Delivery: At the previously-listed EPA Region III address.
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.
