SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On April 29, 2026, the EPA published the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) “Air Plan Approval; Maryland; Reasonably Available Control Technology for Municipal Waste Combustors” in the Federal Register (91 FR 23046). The NPRM specified that the comment period would end on May 29, 2026. However, due to technical problems with posting the docket on www.regulations.gov in the first week of publishing the NPRM, the EPA is extending the comment period by two weeks to June 12, 2026, to ensure the public and interested parties have sufficient time to review the associated docket materials and submit comments.
