Dear Mr. Aburn:

On December 20, 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
received a revision to the Maryland State Implementation Plan (SIP) from
the Maryland Department of the Environment.  The SIP revision pertains
to the definition of “fuel-burning equipment,” and includes
amendments to Regulation .01 under COMAR 26.11.01 and Regulation .01
under COMAR 26.11.09.  EPA has determined that the submittal is
administratively and technically complete, and is reviewing it to
prepare a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.  

If members of your staff have any questions, they may direct them to Ms.
Irene Shandruk, at (215) 814-2166.  She is the principal contact for
this rulemaking.    

Sincerely,

	

                                                                    	
/s/      

         Diana Esher, Director
