Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Maryland; VOCs From Paint, Resin and Adhesive Manufacturing and Adhesive Application

Résumé

EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Maryland for the purpose of amending its regulation to control volatile organic compounds (VOC) from Paint, Resin & Adhesive Manufacturing and Adhesive Application. The revisions amend the definition of ``honeycomb core installation'' to include additional substrates and clarify the general emission standard for VOCs from adhesive applications. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views them as noncontroversial SIP revisions and anticipates no adverse comments. The 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 in relation to this rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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 on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this t
