Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Maryland; Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions From Open Fires, ``Once-in, Always-in,'' and Definition for the Term ``Annual''
EPA is approving State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Maryland on July 12, 1995 and July 17, 1995. These revisions establish a definition for the term ``annual,'' expand Maryland's once-in, always-in provisions, and require an open burning ban in Maryland's serious and severe ozone nonattainment areas during the summer months. The intended effect of this action is to approve these provisions into the Maryland SIP, in accordance with the SIP submittal and revision provisions of the Act.
