Approval and Promulgation of Air
Quality Implementation Plans; Maine;
Open Burning Rule
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve
a State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the State of
Maine. This revision limits open
burning of construction and demolition
debris to on-site burning for the disposal
of wood wastes and painted and
unpainted wood, and adds restrictions
to open burning conducted for training,
research and recreational purposes. The
revised rule also defines which openburning recreational activities do not
require a permit, such as residential use
of outdoor grills and fireplaces, and
recreational campfires while the ground
is covered in snow. The revised rule
eliminates provisions that allowed
permits to be issued for open burning of
rubbish where no rubbish collection is
available or ‘‘reasonably located’’ and
where ‘‘there is no other suitable
method for disposal.’’ In addition, the
revised rule includes a reference to
reasonable precautions required by
Maine statute 38 MRSA section 1296 to
prevent the introduction of lead into the
environment from lead-based paint.
This action will have a beneficial effect
on air quality in Maine by reducing
emissions of particulate matter, air
toxics, and other pollutants, especially
from the burning of lead-painted wood,
plastics, metals, and other non-wood
materials. This action is being taken in
accordance with the Clean Air Act.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before March 24, 2008.

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final rule will be withdrawn and all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.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse
comment on an amendment, paragraph,
or section of this rule and if that
provision may be severed from the
remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt
as final those provisions of the rule that
are not the subject of an adverse
comment.
