Information About the Maryland
Register and COMAR
MARYLAND REGISTER
The Maryland Register is an official State publication published every
other week throughout the year. A cumulative index is published quarterly.
The Maryland Register is the temporary supplement to the Code of
Maryland Regulations. Any change to the text of regulations published in COMAR, whether by adoption, amendment,
repeal, or emergency action, must first be published in the Register.
The following information is also published regularly in the Register:
• Governor’s Executive Orders
• Attorney General’s Opinions in full text
• Open Meetings Compliance Board Opinions in full text
• State Ethics Commission Opinions in full text
• Court Rules
• District Court Administrative Memoranda
• Courts of Appeal Hearing Calendars
• Agency Hearing and Meeting Notices
• Synopses of Bills Introduced and Enacted
by the General Assembly
• Other documents considered to be in the public interest
CITATION TO THE
MARYLAND REGISTER
The Maryland Register is cited by volume, issue, page number, and date.
Example:
• 19:8 Md. R. 815—817 (April 17,
1992) refers to Volume 19, Issue 8, pages 815—817 of the Maryland Register
issued on April 17, 1992.
CODE OF MARYLAND
REGULATIONS (COMAR)
COMAR is the official compilation of all regulations issued by agencies
of the State of Maryland. The Maryland Register is COMAR’s temporary
supplement, printing all changes to regulations as soon as they occur. At least
once annually, the changes to regulations printed in the Maryland Register are
incorporated into COMAR by means of permanent supplements.
CITATION TO COMAR
REGULATIONS
COMAR regulations are cited by title number, subtitle number, chapter
number, and regulation number. Example: COMAR 10.08.01.03 refers to Title 10,
Subtitle 08, Chapter 01, Regulation 03.
DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED
BY REFERENCE
Incorporation by reference is a legal device by which a document is made
part of COMAR simply by referring to it. While the text of an incorporated
document does not appear in COMAR, the provisions of the incorporated document
are as fully enforceable as any other COMAR regulation. Each regulation that
proposes to incorporate a document is identified in the Maryland Register by an
Editor’s Note. The Cumulative Table of COMAR Regulations Adopted, Amended or
Repealed, found online, also identifies each regulation incorporating a
document. Documents incorporated by reference are available for inspection in
various depository libraries located throughout the State and at the Division
of State Documents. These depositories are listed in the first issue of the
Maryland Register published each year. For further information, call
410-974-2486.
HOW TO RESEARCH REGULATIONS
An
Administrative History at the end of every COMAR chapter gives information
about past changes to regulations. To determine if there have been any
subsequent changes, check the ‘‘Cumulative Table of COMAR Regulations Adopted,
Amended, or Repealed’’ which is found online at http://www.dsd.state.md.us/PDF/CumulativeTable.pdf.
This table lists the regulations in numerical order, by their COMAR number,
followed by the citation to the Maryland Register in which the change occurred.
The Maryland Register serves as a temporary supplement to COMAR, and the two
publications must always be used together. A Research Guide for Maryland
Regulations is available. For further information, call 410-260-3876.
SUBSCRIPTION
INFORMATION

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN
THE REGULATION-MAKING PROCESS
Maryland citizens and other interested
persons may participate in the process by which administrative regulations are
adopted, amended, or repealed, and may also initiate the process by which the
validity and applicability of regulations is determined. Listed below are some
of the ways in which citizens may participate (references are to State
Government Article (SG),
Annotated
Code of Maryland):
• By submitting data or views on proposed
regulations either orally or in writing, to the proposing agency (see
‘‘Opportunity for Public Comment’’ at the beginning of all regulations
appearing in the Proposed Action on Regulations section of the Maryland
Register). (See SG, §10-112)
• By petitioning an agency to adopt, amend,
or repeal regulations. The agency must respond to the petition. (See SG
§10-123)
• By petitioning an agency to issue a declaratory
ruling with respect to how any regulation, order, or statute enforced by the
agency applies. (SG, Title 10, Subtitle 3)
• By petitioning the circuit court for a
declaratory judgment
on
the validity of a regulation when it appears that the regulation interferes
with or impairs the legal rights or privileges of the petitioner. (SG, §10-125)
• By inspecting a certified copy of any
document filed with the Division of State Documents for publication in the
Maryland Register. (See SG, §7-213)

Emergency Regulations
Under State
Government Article, §10-111(b), Annotated Code of Maryland, an agency may
petition the Joint Committee on Administrative, Executive, and Legislative
Review (AELR), asking that the usual procedures for adopting regulations be set
aside because emergency conditions exist. If the Committee approves the
request, the regulations are given emergency status. Emergency status means
that the regulations become effective immediately, or at a later time specified
by the Committee. After the Committee has granted emergency status, the
regulations are published in the next available issue of the Maryland Register.
The approval of emergency status may be subject to one or more conditions,
including a time limit. During the time the emergency status is in effect, the
agency may adopt the regulations through the usual promulgation process. If the
agency chooses not to adopt the regulations, the emergency status expires when
the time limit on the emergency regulations ends. When emergency status expires,
the text of the regulations reverts to its original language.

Subtitle 04 POLICE TRAINING AND STANDARDS COMMISSION
Authority: Public Safety Article, §§3-207 and 3-208, Annotated Code of Maryland
Notice of Proposed Action
[23-072-P]
The Maryland Police Training and Standards Commission proposes to amend
Regulations .09 and .14 under COMAR 12.04.01 General Regulations. This action was considered and
approved by the Police Training and Standards Commission at a public meeting
held on February 28, 2023, notice of which was provided by publication on the
Police Training and Standards Commission's website at
https://mdle.net/standards.htm, as required under General Provisions Article,
§3-302(c), Annotated Code of Maryland.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to amend Regulations .09 and .14 under COMAR 12.04.01 General Regulations to improve the process for determining the eligibility of out-of- state police officers to participate in a comparative compliance training program in lieu of a full entrance-level academy when seeking employment with a Maryland law enforcement agency. The amendments to Regulation .09 will increase the number of required training hours from the current 750 hours to 850 hours. The increase in required training hours will more accurately represent the number of hours needed to master current training objectives. The amendments to Regulation .14 will remove the exclusion of firearm training for out-of-state officers seeking to laterally transfer to a Maryland agency. Traditional firearms training focused on firearms handling, proficiency, safety, and maintenance. Firearms training today is now tied to constitutional laws, use of force options, de-escalation, officer safety, and tactical response. The proposed amended changes to these regulations would more accurately reflect current training standards and practices. The current practice of conducting a comparison of the police applicant's academy syllabus with topical areas required by the Police Training and Standards Commission would continue to ensure prospective candidates meet Maryland's high level of training standards.
Estimate of Economic Impact
The proposed action has no economic impact.
Economic Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed action has minimal or no economic impact on small businesses.
Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
The proposed action has no impact on individuals with disabilities.

Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to:
(1) Update various definitions to support modified or new COMAR regulations under COMAR 20.50.01.03;
(2) Update the acceptable standards to the latest versions, in addition to the change to support the implementation of a new contact voltage regulation to use the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Standard 1695 — 2016 under COMAR 20.50.02.02;
(3) Revise the reporting requirements that will provide better information to the Public Service Commission, in addition to other changes to remove outdated requirements under COMAR 20.50.03.04;
(4) Support the implementation of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) approved IEEE Standard 1695 — 2016 used by the utility industry under COMAR 20.50.11.01;
(5) Clarify the applicability of COMAR regulations applied to an electric company under Commission jurisdiction and to reflect Choptank Electric Cooperative’s self-regulation under COMAR 20.50.12.01;
(6) Update the system-wide indices to be calculated and reported in annual performance reports using all interruption data, including and excluding planned outages, to determine the impact of planned outages on the system-wide indices under COMAR 20.50.12.02;
(7) Bring the multiple device activation standards in alignment with the changes made for excluding major outage events and planned outages previously made in COMAR 20.50.12.03 which became effective in 2018. In addition, the regulation requires electric utilities to measure compliance during three consecutive 12-month reporting periods, unless the utility has undertaken reasonable remediation measures to improve the performance of the device consistent with the new poorest performing feeder standard under COMAR 20.50.12.04;
(8) Revise the annual reliability reporting requirements to include information regarding IEEE major event days experienced in utility’s service territories. In addition, the regulation requires the reporting of CEMI and MAIFIE, including and excluding major outage events under COMAR 20.50.12.05;

Regulation .09 includes a new requirement of vegetation management annual cost reporting using the “all-in vegetation management cost” defined in COMAR 20.50.01.03B(2). Regulation .09 also updates the utility filing requirements to require vegetation management transmission outage reports to be filed only if there is a transmission outage due to vegetation;
(11) Update the periodic equipment inspections requirements to remove various equipment types that are no longer necessary. COMAR 20.50.12.10 includes the requirement of providing an overall description of the corrective maintenance priority guidelines and general timeline for the maintenance repairs involved with each of the various types of electric plants. Regulation .10 also requires electric utilities to self-report compliance or non-compliance in their annual reports. In addition, the purpose of Regulation .10 is to include a provision that allows electric utilities to request a stay of enforcement if an electric distribution utility cannot perform regular periodic maintenance work on its electric distribution system in the time periods outlined in its operation and maintenance manual or vegetation management program, for any reason;
(12) Update the downed wire response reporting requirement to be in alignment with COMAR 20.50.12.07. COMAR 20.50.12.11 includes the requirement of an additional reporting that facilitates monitoring manhole event trends due to the potential reliability and public safety consequences of manhole explosions;
(13) Update the requirements of a major outage event response plan that provides a detailed description of and procedures for the utility’s response to a major outage event. COMAR 20.50.12.12 also requires the major outage event response plan to be filed as a publicly available document, and information to be shared with state officials participate in a Maryland Department of Emergency Management activation of the State Emergency Operations Center;
(14) Update the reporting requirements of a major outage event that require electric utilities to provide additional information related to the major outage event experienced. COMAR 20.50.12.13 also revise the time of major outage event report filing due to the volume of additional data requested;
(15) Revise the requirements of customer perception surveys performed by electric utilities that include specific survey process and communication methodology under COMAR 20.50.12.14;
(16) Include the requirements of resilience plans for preparing and responding to low probability-high consequence events. These resilience plans are made available to the Commission for review, upon request, as well as to require that those plans are built collaboratively with State and local jurisdictions to address the resiliency of power supply to critical facilities under COMAR 20.50.12.15;
(17) Include the requirements for electric utilities to respond promptly to a specific information request related to investigations that are not governed by discovery deadlines in proceedings or the COMAR 20.32.01.04H 7 working day response requirements associated with Consumer Affairs Division disputes under COMAR 20.50.12.16;
(18) Include the requirements for electric utilities to make available suitable equipment and personnel to provide pipeline location services upon reasonable request of interested persons, in compliance with Public Utilities Article, Title 12, Subtitle 1, Annotated Code of Maryland, Comparison to Federal Standards under COMAR 20.50.12.17; and
(19) Establish regulatory standards on electric utilities to provide customers reasonable and reliable estimated time of restoration (ETR) information under COMAR 20.50.12.18.
Estimate of Economic Impact

20.85.03 Residential Electric Underground Facilities
Authority: Public Utilities Article, §§2-121 and 5-101, and Title
12,
Subtitle 1, Annotated Code of Maryland
Notice of Proposed Action
[23-023-P]
The Maryland Public Service Commission proposes to repeal
Regulation .09 under COMAR 20.85.03 Residential Electric
Underground Facilities. This action was considered by the Maryland Public
Service Commission at a scheduled rule-making (RM 79) meeting held on January
20, 2023, notice of which was given under General Provisions Article, §3-302,
Annotated Code of Maryland.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to repeal the existing underground reporting requirement. The regulation was first adopted in 1968 requiring new residential buildings and mobile homes that furnish permanent electric service to be made underground per COMAR 20.85.03.01. The underground reporting requirement was new at the time, and it was intended to track the progress of undergrounding for residential customers in Maryland. However, over 50 years later, the undergrounding of electric lines for new residential communities is a mature industry practice. The need for tracking the progress of undergrounding and reporting on the number of undergrounding connections deem to be outdated and should no longer be required.
Estimate of Economic Impact
The proposed action has no economic impact.
Economic Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed action has minimal or no economic impact on small businesses.
Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
The proposed action has no impact on individuals with disabilities.
Opportunity for Public Comment
Comments may be sent to Andrew S. Johnston, Executive Secretary, Maryland Public Service Commission, 6 St. Paul Street, 16th Floor, Baltimore, MD 21202, or call 410-767-8067, or email to psc.rmcomments@maryland.gov.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT
26.11.34 Low Emissions Vehicle Program
Authority: Environment Article, §§1-404, 2-102, 2-103, 2-301,
2-1102, and
2-1103, Annotated Code of Maryland
Notice of Proposed Action
[23-049-P-I]
The Secretary of the Environment proposes to amend Regulation .02 under COMAR 26.11.34 Low Emissions Vehicle Program.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to amend the Maryland Clean Cars Program, COMAR 26.11.34.02 Incorporation by Reference, to adopt California’s Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) Program. This action is necessary to remain consistent with California’s newly adopted light-duty vehicle program as required by both Maryland and federal law.
The amendments pertaining to the Low Emissions Vehicle Program will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval as part of Maryland's State Implementation Plan (SIP).
Background
Vehicles sold in the United States must be certified under one of two certification programs: the federal program administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the California program (the Clean Car Program). Section 177 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 provides states with the ability to adopt the California program in lieu of the federal program as long as the adopted state program is identical to the California program and the state allows 2 model years lead time from adoption to implementation.
The Maryland Clean Cars Act of 2007 required the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) to adopt regulations implementing the California Clean Car Program (also referred to as the California Low Emissions Vehicle, or CALEV, Program, and more recently as the Advanced Clean Cars, or ACC, Program) in Maryland. Maryland’s implementing regulations adopted, through incorporation by reference, the applicable California regulations. The CALEV program is a dynamic, changing program in which many of the relevant California regulations are continuously updated to maintain currency with vehicular technology advancement and environmental science. To retain California’s standards, Maryland must remain consistent with their regulations, hence when California updates its regulations, Maryland must reflect these changes by amending our regulations.
The proposed changes have been approved by the California Air Resources Board on August 25, 2022, and were effective November 30, 2022. The proposed regulatory changes approved by the California Air Resources Board require Maryland to update the Incorporation by Reference regulation. These updates will not have any impact on the administrative costs of implementing the CALEV program in Maryland, but they do have impacts on both the benefits associated with the program and the cost of compliance for regulated parties, as described below.
The federal EPA’s national emission standards for light-duty vehicles apply to the same types of vehicles under 40 CFR Parts 85, 86, and 600. The California standards are aligned with, but more stringent than, the federal program.
Sources Affected and Location
These amendments apply to automobile manufacturers that produce new motor vehicles for sale in Maryland. All vehicle types that have a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 14,000 pounds are affected.
Requirements
The proposed amendments update Maryland’s program requirements to be consistent with California’s program requirements. This action is necessary since some of the California regulations that are incorporated into the Maryland regulation have been updated since the last Maryland program revisions.
The Maryland program update will adopt the ACC II program approved by the California Air Resources Board on August 25, 2022, and effective November 30, 2022. The ACC II program is a major update to the California program. The ACC I program (currently in effect in Maryland and California) included requirements for vehicles through model year 2025. The ACC II program adopts new requirements for model year 2026 and later vehicles. Maryland’s implementation of the ACC II program will begin with the 2027 model year. Although there are a substantial number of conforming revisions, the major revisions associated with the ACC II program consist of a requirement that vehicle manufacturers continue to offer more zero emission vehicles for sale, culminating in a 100 percent sales requirement by model year 2035, and a requirement that internal combustion engine vehicles meet increasingly stringent pollutant standards during the period in which they continue to be sold.
Zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) essentially consist of pure electric vehicles with a minimum range of 150 miles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) with a minimum all electric range of 50 miles. (The indicated vehicle ranges are “real world” estimates, equivalent to those that would appear on a vehicle fuel economy label. The minimum ranges required during vehicle certification are 200 and 70 miles for pure electric and PHEVs, respectively.) PHEVs are allowed to satisfy 20 percent of overall ZEV sales requirements. Additional flexibility options are available in model years 2027 through 2030. Vehicle manufacturers are also allowed to carry forward and use compliance credits generated prior to model year 2027. To ensure that vehicles sold under the program are reliable and perform as well or better than their internal combustion engine counterparts, stringent requirements related to vehicle (and battery) durability, vehicle charging capability, on board diagnostics, warranty, and reporting are established to ensure that ZEVs perform as designed throughout their full useful life.
Documents to Be Incorporated by Reference
Six new reference documents will be added to COMAR 26.11.34.02 and 46 existing references in that same regulation will be amended to reflect new effective dates to maintain consistency with the latest California requirements.
Projected Emissions Reductions
The updated CALEV program will result in significant additional emission reductions in Maryland as compared to the program currently in effect. Between 2027 and 2040, the updated program will deliver additional vehicular reductions of 5,978 tons of NOx and 585 tons of PM 2.5, as well as additional vehicular and power plant CO2 emission reductions of 76.7 million metric tonnes. (The indicated vehicular and power plant emission reductions are the net reductions that result from a decline in vehicular emissions and an increase in power plant emissions due to electric vehicle charging requirements. Total vehicular plus power plant emissions are lower under the updated program by 82.6 million metric tonnes (as compared to total vehicular plus power plant emissions under the current program).)
By 2040, these reductions provide net health benefits equal to about 603.5 million dollars per year due to decreases in respiratory and cardiovascular illness and associated lost work days.
Estimate of Economic Impact
I. Summary of Economic Impact. The updated CALEV program will not have any impact on program administrative costs, including all associated Motor Vehicle Administration activities related to vehicle registration, data management, and dealer oversight. The program will, however, impose additional burdens on various regulated parties due to the increased cost of vehicle technology that will be required to meet program requirements. Between model year 2026 and 2031, the average cost of compliance for vehicle manufacturers is estimated to increase from $1,250 per vehicle to $2,400 per vehicle, after which per-vehicle costs are estimated to decline by $100 to $150 per year as electric vehicle technology matures. Vehicle manufacturers are expected to pass these costs on to consumers, so the latter, including governmental fleet purchasers, will be subject to increased vehicle purchase costs. These increased costs do not take into account the availability of either federal or state incentives, so actual consumer purchase cost burdens are likely to be substantially lower. Moreover, because consumers also accrue costs savings in terms of lower fuel and maintenance costs, the total cost of ownership for CALEV vehicles is less than the vehicles they replace. During the first model year of the program, consumers can expect payback of their increased initial investment in about 5.5 years. By model year 2035, the payback period decreases to 1.3 years. Neither payback period considers the effects of purchase incentives, so actual cash flow may turn positive far earlier. On a Statewide basis, the total cost of ownership is expected to turn negative by 2032 and increase each year thereafter, resulting in annual savings of over 1.5 billion dollars by 2040. The majority of this savings will accrue from reduced gasoline costs and this will have a negative effect on State gasoline tax revenue, with the revenue reduction estimated to increase from about 28 million dollars in 2026 to 483 million dollars by 2040.

III. Assumptions. (Identified by Impact Letter and Number from Section II.)
D. Between model year 2026 and 2031, the average cost of compliance for vehicle manufacturers is estimated to increase from $1,250 per vehicle to $2,400 per vehicle, after which per-vehicle costs are estimated to decline by $100 to $150 per year as electric vehicle technology matures. Vehicle manufacturers are already developing and building these vehicles to meet current and future ZEV requirements in the other states complying with Section 177 of the Clean Air Act.
E. An increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs) will have a negative economic impact on the gasoline distribution industry due to decreased demand for gasoline. Increased EVs will have a positive economic impact on industries related to the generation and distribution of electricity to power these vehicles, including regulated utilities and EV charging providers. Other industries will also face indeterminable economic benefits or costs as EVs require less routine maintenance than conventional vehicles.
F. EVs are expected to initially cost more to purchase but have lower operating expenses. Even without purchase incentives, EVs are expected to have a total cost of ownership less than that of conventional gasoline vehicles, therefore providing an economic benefit to the public. These regulations will have a positive effect on public health thanks to reduced vehicle emissions that contribute to asthma and other respiratory issues.
Economic Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed action has a meaningful economic impact on small
businesses. An analysis of this economic impact follows:
Some small businesses are also vehicle consumers and they will face the same impacts as non-business consumers. Vehicle purchase costs will increase but will be offset by operating cost savings. As is the case with non-business consumers, business consumers will recoup initial increased costs in about 5.5 years during the first year of the updated program and in about 1 year by model year 2035.
Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
The proposed action has no impact on individuals with disabilities.

Water Quality Certification
22-WQC-0023
Maryland Department of Transportation
State Highway Administration
Attn: Mr. Jeffrey Folden
707 North Calvert Street
Baltimore, MD 21202
Add’l. Info: Pursuant to COMAR 26.08.02.10F(3)(c), The Maryland Department of the Environment is providing notice of its issuance of Water Quality Certification 22-WQC-0023.
Location: The project is located on I-495 from the George Washington Memorial Parkway in Virginia, including improvements to the American Legion Bridge over the Potomac River, to east of MD 187, on I-270 from I-495 to north of I-370, and on the I-270 eastern spur from east of MD 187 to I-270 in Montgomery County.
The purpose of the I-495 & I-270 Managed Lanes Project is to develop a travel demand management solution(s) that addresses congestion, improves trip reliability on I-495 and I-270 within the project limits and enhances existing and planned multimodal mobility. The needs for the project are to accommodate existing traffic and long-term traffic growth; enhance trip reliability; provide additional roadway travel choices; accommodate movement of goods and services; and accommodate homeland security. The project consists of adding two new High-Occupancy Vehicle Toll (HOT) managed lanes (MLs) in each direction from the George Washington Memorial Parkway to west of MD 187; converting the one existing High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction of I-270 to a HOT ML and adding one new HOT ML in each direction on I-270 from I-495 to north of I-370 and on the I-270 east and west spurs; removing the existing collector-distributor (C-D) lanes along I-270 from Montrose Road to I-370; installing flexible delineators within the buffer to separate the MLs from the General Purpose Lanes; replacing the American Legion Bridge (ALB) with a new, wider bridge to accommodate the two HOT lanes in each direction and a shared use path to provide bicycle and pedestrian connection between Maryland and Virginia; constructing on-site and off-site stormwater management improvements and construction access; relocating utilities; constructing two permittee-responsible stream and wetland mitigation sites; constructing mitigation/restoration sites to meet National Park Service and Maryland-National Capital Parks and Planning Commission mitigation requirements; and using temporary erosion and sediment controls.
The WQC and its attachments may be viewed at the following
link: https://mde.maryland.gov/programs/Water/WetlandsandWaterways/Pages/WQC.aspx
Appeal of Final Decision: This Water Quality Certification is a final agency decision. Any person aggrieved by the Department’s decision to issue this WQC may appeal such decision in accordance with COMAR 26.08.02.10F(4). A request for appeal shall be filed with the Department within 30 days of publication of the final decision and specify in writing the reason why the final decision should be reconsidered. A request for appeal shall be submitted to: Secretary of the Environment, Maryland Department of the Environment, 1800 Washington Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21230. Any request for an appeal does not stay the effectiveness of this WQC.
