ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Maryland. This SIP revision includes amendments to Maryland’s regulation for Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes and meets the requirement to adopt Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for sources covered by EPA’s Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) standards for large appliance coatings. These amendments will reduce emissions of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from large appliance coating facilities. 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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.

SUMMARY: On April 28, 2011, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission

of proposed rulemaking that would establish initial and variation 
margin requirements for swap dealers (SDs) and major swap participants 
(MSPs). Elsewhere today in the Federal Register, the Commission is 
proposing to adopt capital, financial reporting, and recordkeeping 
requirements for these same entities, as well as proposing to amend 
certain capital requirements for futures commission merchants (FCMs) 
that also register as SDs or MSPs and supplemental capital 
requirements, and supplemental financial reporting requirements for 
these FCMs. The Commission now is extending the comment period for the 
proposed margin regulations so that the comment period will run 
concurrently with the comment period for the proposed rulemaking on 
capital requirements being published today.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 11, 2011.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by RIN 3038-AC97, and

Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
    Please submit your comments using only one method. Additionally, to 
ease the burden to commenters, you may submit comments that address 
both the capital and the margin rulemakings to only one of the 
respective public comment files and they will be considered by the 
Commission in both rulemakings, if appropriate to both.
    All comments must be submitted in English, or if not, accompanied 
by an English translation. Comments will be posted as received to 
https://www.cftc.gov. You should submit only information that you wish 
to make available publicly. If you wish the Commission to consider 
information that may be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of 
Information Act, a petition for confidential treatment of the exempt 
information may be submitted according to the established procedures in 
Sec.  145.9 of the Commission's regulation, 17 CFR 145.9.
    The Commission reserves the right, but shall have no obligation, to 
review, pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or remove any or all of your 
submission from https://www.cftc.gov that it may deem to be 
inappropriate for publication, such as obscene language. All

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 28, 2011 the Commission published 
in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking that would 
establish initial and variation margin requirements for swap dealers 
(SDs) and major swap participants (MSPs). Elsewhere today in the 
Federal Register, the Commission is proposing to adopt capital, 
financial reporting, and recordkeeping requirements for SDs and MSPs, 
as well as proposing to amend certain capital requirements for futures 
commission merchants (FCMs) that also register as SDs or MSPs, as well 
as supplemental financial reporting requirements for these FCMs.
    Because the proposed capital and margin rulemakings are 
interrelated, the Commission now is extending the comment period for 
the proposed margin regulations so that the comment periods of each 
proposed rulemaking will run concurrently. The extension period will 
provide commenters with a full opportunity to review each of the 
proposed rulemakings together before commenting on either. As noted 
above, the Commission additionally has determined to give full 
consideration to all comments on each of the proposed rulemakings, 
whether comment letters that address both rulemakings are submitted to 
the comment file of the capital or the margin rulemaking.

    Issued in Washington, DC, this 27th day of April 2010, by the 
Commission.
