Dear Secretary Wilson:

On February 15, 2007, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
received a revision to the Maryland State Implementation Plan (SIP) from
the Maryland Department of the Environment pertaining to revisions to
the Stage II Vapor Recovery regulations, specifically amendments to
Regulation .01 and new Regulation .05-1 under COMAR 26.11.24.  EPA has
determined that the submittal is administratively and technically
complete, and is reviewing it to prepare a Final Rulemaking Notice.  

If members of your staff have any questions, they may direct them to
Catherine L. Magliocchetti, Air Quality Planning Branch, at (215)
814-2174.  She is the principal contact for this rulemaking.    

	    Sincerely, 

						/s/ D. Arnold (for)
