II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA
Analysis
On May 1, 2017 (82 FR 20292), EPA
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the State of
Maryland. In the NPR, EPA proposed
approval of removing a discontinued
TM 90–01 from Maryland’s SIP, which
is now superseded by a new CEM
regulation. EPA also proposed to
approve for the Maryland SIP a revised
version of COMAR 26.11.10.06 which
removed a reference to TM 90–01 in
section C(3)(b) of COMAR 26.11.10.06
and added a reference to COMAR
26.11.01.11 in COMAR 26.11.10.06 to
address CEM issues. EPA’s rationale
was explained in detail in the NPR and
will not be restated here. No comments
were received in response to EPA’s
proposed approval of the July 1, 2016
Maryland SIP submittal.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving the July 1, 2016
Maryland SIP revision submittal as a
revision to the Maryland SIP. The
submittal sought removal of
discontinued TM 90–01 from the SIP in
accordance with section 110 of the
CAA. The CEM requirements for quality
assurance, monitoring and other
technical requirements under
discontinued TM 90–01 have been
superseded and codified under COMAR
26.11.01.11. EPA is also approving for
the Maryland SIP a revised version of
COMAR 26.11.10.06 ‘‘Control of
Volatile Organic Compounds from Iron
and Steel Production Installations’’
which removed a reference to TM 90–
01 in section C(3)(b) of COMAR
26.11.10.06 and added a reference to
COMAR 26.11.01.11 in COMAR
26.11.10.06.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 144 / Friday, July 28, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
by reference of the amended version of
COMAR 26.11.10.06. Therefore, these
materials have been approved by EPA
for inclusion in the SIP, have been
incorporated by reference by EPA into
that plan, are fully federally enforceable
under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA
as of the effective date of the final
rulemaking of EPA’s approval, and will
be incorporated by reference by the
Director of the Federal Register in the
next update to the SIP compilation.1
EPA has made, and will continue to
make, these materials generally
available through https://
www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA
Region III Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).
V. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. General Requirements
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
CAA and applicable federal regulations.
42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely approves state law as meeting
federal requirements and does not
impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely

affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• does not have federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because the SIP is
not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the state, and EPA notes that
it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law.
B. Submission to Congress and the
Comptroller General
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this action and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
C. Petitions for Judicial Review
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by September 26, 2017. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this action for the
purposes of judicial review nor does it
extend the time within which a petition
for judicial review may be filed, and
shall not postpone the effectiveness of
such rule or action.
This action to remove discontinued
TM 90–01 from Maryland’s SIP and
include revised COMAR 26.11.10.06 in
the SIP may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements.

3-1–.01, ‘‘Definitions,’’ and Rule 391-31–.02, ‘‘Provisions.’’ The changes
requested by Georgia in these proposed
SIP revisions are discussed below.
The November 29, 2010, submittal
includes a change to Rule 391-3-1–
.01(nnnn), ‘‘Procedures for Testing and
Monitoring Sources of Air Pollutants.’’
EPA approved this change on January 5,
2017 (82 FR 1206). EPA is not acting on
changes to Rule 391-3-1–.02(2)(sss),
‘‘Multipollutant Control for Electric
Utility Steam Generating Units’’ and
Rule 391-3-1–.14—‘‘General
Conformity’’ included in the November
29, 2010, submittal because the rules are
not part of the SIP and the State’s prior
request to incorporate the rule into the
SIP was withdrawn from EPA
consideration by the State in a letter
dated December 1, 2016.1
The July 25, 2014, submittal includes
several changes that are not part of this
action. Rule 391-3-1–.01(llll), ‘‘Volatile
organic compound,’’ was approved on
October 5, 2016, (81 FR 68936) and Rule
391-3-1–.01(nnnn), ‘‘Procedures for
Testing and Monitoring Sources of Air
Pollutants,’’ was approved on January 5,
2017, (82 FR 1206). With respect to GA
EPD’s submission related to Rule 391-31–.02(4), ‘‘Ambient Air Standards,’’ and
Rule 391-3-1–.03(8), ‘‘Permit
Requirements,’’ EPA will act on these
changes in a separate action.

Georgia’s November 29, 2010,

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a state
implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Maryland.
This revision pertains to removing a discontinued Technical Memorandum
90-01 (TM 90-01) from Maryland's SIP, which is now superseded by a new
continuous emission monitoring (CEM) regulation. EPA is approving this
revision to remove TM 90-01 from Maryland's SIP in accordance with the
requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
DATES: This final rule is effective on August 28, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On July 1, 2016, MDE submitted a SIP revision to remove
discontinued TM 90-01 from Maryland's SIP because TM 90-01 had been
superseded by COMAR 26.11.01.11. EPA previously approved TM 90-01 into
Maryland's SIP on February 28, 1996. See 61 FR 7418. MDE also submitted
a revised version of COMAR 26.11.10.06 ``Control of Volatile Organic
Compounds from Iron and Steel Production Installations'' for inclusion
in the Maryland SIP which removed a reference to TM 90-01 in section
C(3)(b) of COMAR 26.11.10.06 and added a reference to COMAR 26.11.01.11
in COMAR 26.11.10.06. Maryland previously used TM 90-01 to govern the
CEM requirements for fuel burning equipment. The formal SIP revision
(#16-08) was submitted by Maryland on July 1, 2016.
In May 2010, the State of Maryland through the Maryland Department
of the Environment (MDE) discontinued the use of TM 90-01 ``Continuous
Emission Monitoring Policies and Procedures'' and codified these
requirements for CEMs in Maryland regulation COMAR 26.11.01.11
``Continuous Emission Monitoring Requirements.'' MDE had been in the
process of establishing unique requirements for CEMs, separate from the
requirements for continuous opacity monitors (COMs), and broke out the
requirements into separate COMAR regulations. On November 7, 2016 (81
FR 78048), EPA approved these separate regulations into Maryland's SIP.
II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA Analysis
On May 1, 2017 (82 FR 20292), EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Maryland. In the NPR, EPA proposed
approval of removing a discontinued TM 90-01 from Maryland's SIP, which
is now superseded by a new CEM regulation. EPA also proposed to approve
for the Maryland SIP a revised version of COMAR 26.11.10.06 which
removed a reference to TM 90-01 in section C(3)(b) of COMAR 26.11.10.06
and added a reference to COMAR 26.11.01.11 in COMAR 26.11.10.06 to
address CEM issues. EPA's rationale was explained in detail in the NPR
and will not be restated here. No comments were received in response to
EPA's proposed approval of the July 1, 2016 Maryland SIP submittal.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving the July 1, 2016 Maryland SIP revision submittal
as a revision to the Maryland SIP. The submittal sought removal of
discontinued TM 90-01 from the SIP in accordance with section 110 of
the CAA. The CEM requirements for quality assurance, monitoring and
other technical requirements under discontinued TM 90-01 have been
superseded and codified under COMAR 26.11.01.11. EPA is also approving
for the Maryland SIP a revised version of COMAR 26.11.10.06 ``Control
of Volatile Organic Compounds from Iron and Steel Production
Installations'' which removed a reference to TM 90-01 in section
C(3)(b) of COMAR 26.11.10.06 and added a reference to COMAR 26.11.01.11
in COMAR 26.11.10.06.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation
[[Page 35105]]
by reference of the amended version of COMAR 26.11.10.06. Therefore,
these materials have been approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP,
have been incorporated by reference by EPA into that plan, are fully
federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the
effective date of the final rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be
incorporated by reference by the Director of the Federal Register in
the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\ EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these materials generally available through https://www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA Region III Office (please contact
the person identified in the For Further Information Contact section of
this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. General Requirements
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
C. Petitions for Judicial Review
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by September 26, 2017. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action.
This action to remove discontinued TM 90-01 from Maryland's SIP and
include revised COMAR 26.11.10.06 in the SIP may not be challenged
later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)
