SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On June 16, 2021 (86 FR 32006), EPA
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) proposing approval
of a SIP revision for the State of
Maryland. In the NPRM, EPA proposed
approval of Maryland’s certification that
Maryland’s emissions statement
regulation meets the emissions
statement requirement of section
182(a)(3)(B) of the CAA for the 2015
ozone NAAQS. The formal SIP revision
was submitted by the State of Maryland,

II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA
Analysis
On July 6, 2020, the State of
Maryland, through the MDE, submitted
a SIP revision to satisfy the emissions
statement requirement of CAA section
182(a)(3)(B) for the 2015 ozone NAAQS.
EPA first approved Maryland’s SIP
submittal satisfying CAA section
182(a)(3)(B) on October 12, 1994 (59 FR
51517) and has approved Maryland’s
submissions for section 182(a)(3)(B) for
each succeeding revision of the ozone
NAAQS. Maryland’s emissions
reporting requirements are codified in
Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR)
26.11.01.05–1 ‘‘Emissions Statements.’’
COMAR 26.11.01.05–1 requires sources
that emit above specified thresholds of
Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) or Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOC) to submit an
emissions statement to the State. The
emissions threshold for reporting varies
according to the county in which the
source is located. The statement must be
submitted by a certified individual who
can verify the source’s actual emissions.
In Maryland’s July 6, 2020 SIP
submittal, Maryland certifies that the
existing COMAR 26.11.01.05–1
‘‘Emissions Statements’’ continues to
satisfy section 182(a)(3)(B) for the 2015
ozone NAAQS because Maryland has
not made any changes since EPA’s prior
approval and COMAR 26.11.01.05–1
meets the CAA requirements for
emission statements. EPA finds that
COMAR 26.11.01.05–1 continues to
satisfy CAA section 182(a)(3)(B) because
the existing rule is applicable to the
entire State of Maryland and requires
stationary sources that emit NOX or
VOC to submit an emissions statement
to the State detailing the sources’
emissions. EPA finds that Maryland’s
emissions thresholds for stationary
sources that are required to submit an
emissions statement meet CAA
requirements in sections 182 (plan
submissions and requirements for ozone
nonattainment areas) and 184 (Ozone
Transport Region requirements).
Therefore, EPA has determined that
COMAR 26.11.01.05–1, which is
currently in the Maryland SIP, is
appropriate to address the emissions
statement requirement in section
182(a)(3)(B) and is approving this SIP
revision.
Other specific requirements of and the
rationale for EPA’s proposed action are
explained in the NPRM and will not be
restated here. No public comments were
received on the NPRM.

III. Final Action
EPA is approving, as a SIP revision,
the State of Maryland’s July 6, 2020
emissions statement certification for the
2015 ozone NAAQS as approvable
under CAA section 182(a)(3)(B).
Maryland’s emissions statement
certification certifies that Maryland’s
existing SIP-approved emissions
statement program under COMAR
26.11.01.05–1 satisfies the requirements
of CAA section 182(a)(3)(B) for the 2015
ozone NAAQS.
IV. 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
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
• 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 November 8, 2021. 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 may not
be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements (See section
307(b)(2)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On June 16, 2021 (86 FR 32006), EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) proposing approval of a SIP revision for the State of
Maryland. In the NPRM, EPA proposed approval of Maryland's
certification that Maryland's emissions statement regulation meets the
emissions statement requirement of section 182(a)(3)(B) of the CAA for
the 2015 ozone NAAQS. The formal SIP revision was submitted by the
State of Maryland,
[[Page 49926]]
through the Maryland Department of the Environment, on July 6, 2020.
II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA Analysis
On July 6, 2020, the State of Maryland, through the MDE, submitted
a SIP revision to satisfy the emissions statement requirement of CAA
section 182(a)(3)(B) for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. EPA first approved
Maryland's SIP submittal satisfying CAA section 182(a)(3)(B) on October
12, 1994 (59 FR 51517) and has approved Maryland's submissions for
section 182(a)(3)(B) for each succeeding revision of the ozone NAAQS.
Maryland's emissions reporting requirements are codified in Code of
Maryland Regulations (COMAR) 26.11.01.05-1 ``Emissions Statements.''
COMAR 26.11.01.05-1 requires sources that emit above specified
thresholds of Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) or Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC) to submit an emissions statement to the State. The
emissions threshold for reporting varies according to the county in
which the source is located. The statement must be submitted by a
certified individual who can verify the source's actual emissions.
In Maryland's July 6, 2020 SIP submittal, Maryland certifies that
the existing COMAR 26.11.01.05-1 ``Emissions Statements'' continues to
satisfy section 182(a)(3)(B) for the 2015 ozone NAAQS because Maryland
has not made any changes since EPA's prior approval and COMAR
26.11.01.05-1 meets the CAA requirements for emission statements. EPA
finds that COMAR 26.11.01.05-1 continues to satisfy CAA section
182(a)(3)(B) because the existing rule is applicable to the entire
State of Maryland and requires stationary sources that emit
NOX or VOC to submit an emissions statement to the State
detailing the sources' emissions. EPA finds that Maryland's emissions
thresholds for stationary sources that are required to submit an
emissions statement meet CAA requirements in sections 182 (plan
submissions and requirements for ozone nonattainment areas) and 184
(Ozone Transport Region requirements). Therefore, EPA has determined
that COMAR 26.11.01.05-1, which is currently in the Maryland SIP, is
appropriate to address the emissions statement requirement in section
182(a)(3)(B) and is approving this SIP revision.
Other specific requirements of and the rationale for EPA's proposed
action are explained in the NPRM and will not be restated here. No
public comments were received on the NPRM.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving, as a SIP revision, the State of Maryland's July
6, 2020 emissions statement certification for the 2015 ozone NAAQS as
approvable under CAA section 182(a)(3)(B). Maryland's emissions
statement certification certifies that Maryland's existing SIP-approved
emissions statement program under COMAR 26.11.01.05-1 satisfies the
requirements of CAA section 182(a)(3)(B) for the 2015 ozone NAAQS.
IV. 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 November 8, 2021. 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 may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements (See section 307(b)(2)).
