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.

.22 Medicaid Transition Easy
Enrollment Program.
A. To the extent permissible by federal law, the Exchange
shall enroll an individual into a QHP if the individual was enrolled in Medicaid
or MCHP through the Exchange and loses Medicaid or MCHP eligibility after:
(1) A redetermination based
on a change in circumstances reported after April 15, 2023, pursuant to which
the individual is determined eligible for a QHP but does not enroll in a QHP
following receipt of the QHP eligibility determination; or
(2) A renewal conducted
between April 15, 2023, and April 30, 2024, provided the Exchange verifies that
the individual’s most recent attested income exceeds the
Medicaid-eligible amount as described in Health-General Article, §15-103(a)(2),
Annotated Code of Maryland, and the individual meets eligibility requirements
under this chapter to enroll in a QHP.

percent FPL or a CSR plan for 151—200 percent FPL and does not have tax household
members already enrolled in a QHP, the Exchange shall enroll the individual in:
(a) The lowest-cost Silver
plan in the individual's region, if the individual’s former managed care
organization does not have an affiliate offering QHPs in that region; or
(b) The lowest-cost
Silver plan offered by an affiliate of the individual’s former managed care
organization, if an affiliate offers a QHP in the individual’s region.
(3) For an individual who is not eligible for a

offered by the managed care organization affiliate; or
(ii) The lowest-cost Silver
plan offered by the managed care organization affiliate.

(1) The first day of the
month following the date of QHP selection pursuant to §C of this regulation, if
the selected plan has a premium greater than zero dollars; or
(2) The first day of the
month following the individual’s confirmation of enrollment, if the selected

Title 26
DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Subtitle 11 AIR QUALITY
Notice of Final Action
[22-260-F-I]
On April 1, 2023, the Secretary of the Environment adopted:
(1) The repeal of Regulation .20
under COMAR 26.11.19 Volatile Organic
Compounds from Specific Processes; and
(2) New Regulations .01—.11
under a new chapter, COMAR 26.11.42 Control of Methane Emissions from Municipal
Solid Waste Landfills.
This action, which was proposed for adoption in 49:27 Md. R.
1119—1140 (December 30, 2022), has been adopted with the nonsubstantive changes
shown below.
Effective Date: June 12, 2023.
Attorney General’s Certification
In accordance with State Government Article, §10-113, Annotated
Code of Maryland, the Attorney General certifies that the following changes do
not differ substantively from the proposed text. The nature of the changes and
the basis for this conclusion are as follows:
COMAR 26.11.42.04B(5)(c)(iv): This revision, made in response to
public comment, corrects a typographical error in reference to Regulation
.10B(11) rather than Regulation .10C(11). Regulation .10B(11) does not exist
and the language in Regulation .04B(5)(c)(iv) references instantaneous surface
emissions monitoring reports, which is the subject of Regulation .10C(11). As
such, this change is a technical correction that could reasonably be
anticipated by participants in rulemaking, does not increase the requirements
or stringency of the regulation, nor does it decrease the benefits of the
regulation.
COMAR 26.11.42.05A(2)(h): This revision, made in response to
public comment, corrects a typographical error in reference to Regulation
.09B(3) rather than Regulation .09B(7) and adds the clarifying language “of
this chapter” after this reference and one other reference to another part of
this chapter. Because Regulation .05A(2)(h) originally referenced component
leak standards, which are not mentioned in Regulation .09B(3) and are instead
the subject of Regulation .09B(7), and because clarifying language was added
only to conform with the Division of State Documents Style Manual for Maryland
Regulations, these changes are clarifying and technical corrections that could
reasonably have been anticipated by participants in rulemaking, do not increase
the requirements or stringency of the regulation, nor do they decrease the
benefits of the regulation.
COMAR 26.11.42.05B(4)(c)(ii): This revision, made in response to
public comment, corrects a typographical error and adds clarification. As
originally written, the word “or” appeared between “§B(3)” and “§B(4)(a) and
(b)”, suggesting that all of the requirements of one of subsections §B(4)(a)
and (b) could apply simultaneously when controlling landfill gas via certain
non-flare gas collection control systems. However, the separate types of
systems described in §B(4)(a) and §B(4)(b) could not exist together at one
landfill, and therefore could not all apply at once. It is clear from the
language of this regulation that different requirements apply to different
types of systems. To further clarify that the requirements of each subsection
or paragraph stands alone, “applicable” was added to qualify the stated
requirement. As such, these clarifying and technical changes could reasonably
have been anticipated by participants in rulemaking, do not increase the
requirements or stringency of the regulation, nor do they decrease the benefits
of the regulation.
COMAR 26.11.42.11I(4): This revision, made in response to public
comment, adds a reference to §I(10) of this regulation to clarify that both
Regulations .09C and .11I(10) contain applicable landfill gas monitoring
requirements. The additional reference is reiterative and could reasonably have
been anticipated by participants in rulemaking. It does not increase the
requirements or stringency of the regulation, nor does it decrease the benefits
of the regulation.

Substance Use Disorder Services
Authority: Health-General Article, §§2-104(b), 7.5-204(c),
7.5-205(d), [and] 15-105(b), and 15-141.2,
Annotated Code of Maryland
Notice of Proposed Action
[22-346-P]
The Secretary of Health proposes to amend Regulations .02, .04, .06, .07, and .09 under COMAR 10.09.06
Adult Residential Substance Use Disorder Services.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to update the listed provider
reimbursement rate to the 7.25 percent increased rate, effective for Fiscal
Year 2023, pursuant to Ch. 484 (S.B. 290), Acts of 2022, Fiscal Year 2023
Budget and the Governor’s supplemental budget. This proposal also establishes
service provisions and limitations related to telehealth in accordance with Ch.
71 (S.B. 3), Acts of 2021, the Preserve Telehealth Access Act. Finally, to align
with updates in the approved 1115 HealthChoice Waiver renewal, this proposal
removes the coverage limitation for services that exceed two 30-day spans of
care within a 12-month period.
Estimate of Economic Impact
I. Summary of Economic Impact. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023
budget includes a 7.25 percent rate increase for adult residential substance
use disorder (SUD) services. The total impact for FY 2023 is $9,976,908.

III. Assumptions. (Identified by Impact Letter and Number
from Section II.)
A and D. This amount assumes:
(1) The economic impact of the proposed action is the difference
in expenditure for FY 2022 and projected expenditure for FY 2023. Annual adult
residential SUD service utilization is expected to remain consistent between FY
2022 and FY 2023.
(2) The expenditure for FY 2022 is $137,612,525.
(3) The projected expenditure in FY 2023 is $147,589,434. This
estimate is based on the FY 2022 expenditures and is adjusted to reflect the
7.25 percent rate increase effective July 1, 2022.
(4) For the initial 6 months of FY 2023, July 1, 2022 to December
31, 2022, the fiscal impact for that period ($4,988,454) is subject to 68.73
percent federal match funds ($3,428,564) and 31.27 percent general funds
($1,559,890).
(5) For the second 6 months of FY 2023, January 1, 2023 to June
30, 2023, the fiscal impact for this period ($4,988,454) is subject to 64.25
percent federal match funds ($3,205,082) and 35.75 percent general funds
($1,783,372).
Economic Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed action has a meaningful economic impact on small
businesses. An analysis of this economic impact follows:
The proposed action allows adult residential substance use
disorder services providers to increase reimbursement rates for all services
billed through W codes listed on the community-based substance use disorder fee
schedule and listed in COMAR 10.09.06.09. To the extent that Adult Residential
Substance Use Disorder Services providers qualify as small businesses, they
will benefit from the enhanced rates.
Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
The proposed action has no impact on individuals with
disabilities.

MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Subtitle 01 OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
15.01.17 Hemp Farming Program
Authority: Agriculture Article, §14-307, Annotated Code of Maryland
Notice of Proposed Action
[23-073-P]
The Maryland Department of Agriculture proposes to amend
Regulations .02, .04, .08, and .10, adopt new
Regulations .11 and .21, amend and recodify existing
Regulations .11—.15 to be
Regulations .12—.16, and recodify
existing Regulations .16—.19 to be
Regulations .17—.20 under COMAR 15.01.07 Hemp Farming Program.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to add certain definitions, remove
the requirement to submit certain reports to the Department, increase certain
timelines pertaining to the harvesting of a hemp crop, impose certain
requirements pertaining to hemp greens, hemp microgreens, and hemp transplants,
and offer a licensed hemp grower whose crop is deemed nonmarketable a
remediation option that is consistent with remediation guidelines approved by
the U.S. Domestic Hemp Production Program. These changes have been approved by
the United States Department of Agriculture.
Estimate of Economic Impact
I. Summary of Economic Impact. The proposed action will
have a positive economic impact on licensed hemp growers (and, for many
licensed hemp growers, the impact will be meaningful). The proposed action
provides growers a larger harvest window, increasing their time to complete the
harvest from 15 days to 30 days before the Department or an authorized agent is
required to collect a new sample of a lot for testing. This change means less
testing and less downtime for the grower at harvest-time. While growers still
must submit planting reports and annual production reports, the proposed
action, consistent with the Final Rule USDA adopted for the Domestic Production
of Hemp, eliminates the requirement to submit a pre-harvest report and a
post-harvest report. This change, like other proposed changes puts licensed
hemp growers in this State on an even playing field with growers in surrounding
states.
The proposed action also imposes certain requirements pertaining
to hemp greens, hemp microgreens, and hemp transplants that, if followed by a
licensed grower, will allow for performance-based sampling protocol (which
includes seed certification processes and other processes that identify
varieties that have consistently resulted in compliant hemp plants) to
determine THC compliance.
Finally, the proposed action offers a licensed hemp grower whose
crop is deemed nonmarketable a remediation option that is consistent with
remediation guidelines approved by the U.S. Domestic Hemp Production Program.

D. Increasing a grower’s time to complete a harvest from 15 days
to 30 days before the Department or an authorized agent is required to collect
a new sample of a lot for testing means less testing and less downtime for the
grower at harvest-time. Growers will also benefit from the following actions:
(1) Eliminating the requirement to submit a pre-harvest report and a
post-harvest report; (2) Establishing a performance-based sampling protocol to
determine THC compliance for hemp greens, hemp microgreens, and hemp
transplants (i.e., plants not intended to be produced to a mature, flowering
state); and (3) If a grower's crop is initially deemed nonmarketable, providing
a remediation option (that is consistent with remediation guidelines approved
by the U.S. Domestic Hemp Production Program).
Economic Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed action has a meaningful economic impact on small businesses.
An analysis of this economic impact follows:
Increasing a grower’s time to complete the harvest from 15 days to
30 days before the Department or an authorized agent is required to collect a
new sample of a lot for testing means less testing and less downtime for the
grower at harvest-time. Growers will also benefit from the following actions:
(1) Eliminating the requirement to submit a pre-harvest report and a
post-harvest report; (2) Establishing a performance-based sampling protocol to
determine THC compliance for hemp greens, hemp microgreens, and hemp
transplants (i.e., plants not intended to be produced to a mature, flowering
state); and (3) If a grower's crop is initially deemed nonmarketable, providing
a remediation option (that is consistent with remediation guidelines approved
by the U.S. Domestic Hemp Production Program).
Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
The proposed action has no impact on individuals with
disabilities.

.11 Hemp Greens, Hemp
Microgreens, and Hemp Transplants.
A.
Performance-Based Sampling Protocol. For hemp plants that are not intended to
be produced to a mature, flowering state (for example, hemp greens, hemp
microgreens, and hemp transplants), the Department may utilize a
performance-based sampling protocol to determine THC crop compliance. This
protocol, which has been approved by USDA, includes seed certification
processes and other processes that identify varieties that have consistently
resulted in compliant hemp plants.
B. Notice to the Department. At planting, the licensed grower
shall notify the Department of the grower’s intent and plans for producing hemp
greens, hemp microgreens, or hemp transplants, including the grower’s intent to
harvest these plants.
C. If the licensed grower is intending to produce hemp
greens, hemp microgreens, or hemp transplants, the grower may only use hemp
seeds or propagules that originate from THC compliant hemp plants. To ensure this, the licensed grower may only
use:
(1) Seeds originating from
THC compliant hemp plants that have been certified by a member agency of the
Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies;
(2) Seeds derived from
hemp plants that were tested during the preceding 2-year period and, for each
of these 2 years, deemed THC compliant by the Department, an authorized
laboratory, or other USDA-approved hemp program; and
(3) Propagules from hemp plants that were tested by the
Department, an authorized agency, or other USDA-approved program and deemed THC
compliant.
D. If the licensed grower is using certified seeds, the
grower shall provide the Department copies of the seed tags. If the licensed
grower is using propagules, the grower shall provide the Department the test
results of the hemp plants.
E. The Department may conduct random testing of hemp greens,
hemp microgreens, and hemp transplants produced by licensed growers. The Department may collect samples for
determining the total THC concentration. The licensed grower shall have an
authorized representative on-site during the site inspection conducted by the
Department. If the crop does not meet the protocol for determining crop compliance
under this regulation, the licensed grower shall hold the harvest lot until
notified by the Department of the grower’s options.
F. Hemp Microgreens Verification. The
Department shall verify that the producer:
(1) Obtained and
used only authorized hemp seed or propagules;
(2) Harvested the crop no more than 14 days after planting;
(3) Only grew hemp plants that were no more than 5 inches in
height; and
(4) Did not grow hemp plants to a flowering state.
G. Hemp Greens Verification.
The Department shall verify that the producer:
(1) Obtained and used only authorized hemp seed or
propagules;
(2) Harvested the crop prior to the plants being 10 inches in
height; and
(3) Did not produce a flowering crop.
H. Hemp Transplants Verification. The Department shall verify
that the producer:
(1) Obtained and used only authorized hemp seed or
propagules;
(2) Only grew plants that were no more than 12 inches in
height; and
(3) Did not grow plants to a flowering state.
I. If the licensed grower produces a crop that does not meet
the protocol for determining THC crop compliance under this regulation, the
grower shall:
(1) Follow the compliance, sampling, and testing requirements
set forth in Regulation .10 of this chapter; or
(2) Dispose of the crop.
J. Records.
(1) Proof of THC Compliance. A licensed grower producing hemp
greens, hemp microgreens, or hemp transplants shall maintain for 3 years
records showing proof of THC compliance of seeds or propagules used to produce
these crops.
(2) Sales Records. A
licensed grower producing hemp transplants shall maintain for 3 years records
showing the name and address of persons to whom the transplants were sold or
transferred.
[.11] .12 Prerequisites for Placing Hemp in Commerce.
A. (text unchanged)
B. To place hemp in the stream of commerce, test results shall
confirm that the final product batch hemp contains no more than a total
0.3 percent delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis using the method’s determined
measurement uncertainty[;],
and all such testing results shall be retained by the grower and made available
to the Department upon demand for a minimum of 3 years.
C. Hemp samples with a post-decarboxylated THC level equal to or
below [0.3 percent] the acceptable hemp THC level [requires] require no further
action by the Department. The area or harvested plant material from which the
sample was obtained that was harvested within [15] 30 days of
the date of sampling may be marketed or further processed.
[.12] .13 Nonmarketable Hemp.
A. Upon receipt of a failing test result, a licensed grower may
request resampling and retesting of the varieties in question. If no retest is
requested, or the retested sample is greater than 0.3 percent THC, the area
represented by the sample, or any harvested hemp from the area represented by
the sample, shall be disposed of as

B. The authorized agent shall
walk at right angles to the rows of plants, if possible, beginning at one point
of the lot and walking towards another point on the opposite side of the lot.
If the lot is too dense for this to be possible, the authorized agent shall
take all reasonable steps to ensure that a sample is collected that represents
a homogeneous composition of the lot by avoiding edges and thoroughfares.
C. While walking through the
growing area, the authorized agent shall cut the number of inflorescences (the
flower or bud of a plant) based on the acreage of the growing area at random
but convenient distances, and avoid collecting sample specimens from the
borders of the field/greenhouse.
D.
The cut shall be obtained from the flowering tops of plants when flowering tops
are present and shall be approximately 5 to 8 inches in length from the “main
stem” (that includes the leaves and flowers), “terminal bud” (that occurs at
the end of a stem), or “central cola” (cut stem that develops into a bud) of
the flowering top of the plant.

Provisions for Major New Sources and Major Modifications
Authority: Environment Article, §§1-101, 1-404, 2-101—2-103, 2-301—
2-303, 10-102, and 10-103, Annotated Code of Maryland
Notice of Proposed Action
[22-362-P]
The Secretary of the Environment proposes to amend Regulations .01 and .04 under COMAR 26.11.17 Nonattainment
Provisions for Major New Sources and Major Modifications.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to repeal Regulation .01B(14-1) and
.04F from COMAR 26.11.17 Nonattainment Provisions for Major New Sources and
Major Modifications. This repeal will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) for approval as part of Maryland's State Implementation
Plan.
Background
On April 9, 2018, the Department adopted new amendments to
specifically address the nonattainment New Source Review (NSR) requirement to
offset new emissions with creditable emission reductions. The amendments
allowed interprecursor trading (IPT) for the ozone precursors—NOx
and VOC. The amendments to COMAR 26.11.17.04 were adopted at the time in
accordance with EPA guidance contained in EPA’s proposed 2008 and 2015 Ozone
Implementation Rules.
Subsequently, on January 29, 2021, the D.C. Circuit ruled that IPT
provisions of ozone precursors (NOx and VOC), which were finalized
in the Implementation of the 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standards for
Ozone: Nonattainment Area State Implementation Plan Requirements Rule (2015
Ozone SRR) for the 2015 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard
(NAAQS) violated the Clean Air Act. As a
result of the court’s decision, IPT provisions in the SRR were vacated. Consequently, the Department by this action
repeals the IPT provisions from COMAR 26.11.17.
Projected Emission Reductions
The proposed action does not impact emissions.
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.

.01 Definitions.
A. (text unchanged)
B. Terms Defined.
(1)—(14) (text unchanged)
[(14-1) “Interprecursor
trading” means that the use of emission reduction credits for any ozone
precursor, NOx and VOCs, may be used to offset increased emissions
of ozone precursors at a specified ratio, as determined in COMAR 26.11.17.04F.]
(15)—(27) (text unchanged)
.04 Creating Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs).
A.—E. (text unchanged)
[F. Interprecursor
Trading.
(1) Provided that the other requirements for such offsets are
satisfied, the offset requirements of COMAR 26.11.17.03B(3) for emissions of NOx
and VOC may be satisfied through interprecursor trading by offsetting
reductions of emissions of either NOx or VOC, by submitting to the
Department for written approval the following information:
(a) A description of the EPA approved air quality model(s) used to
establish the appropriate ratio for the precursor substitution;
(b) A proposed ratio, not to be less than the ratio required under
COMAR 26.11.17.03B(3), for the precursor substitution and accompanying
calculations; and
(c) A technical demonstration substantiating that the ratio
achieves an equivalent or greater air quality benefit for ozone in the
nonattainment area than what would be achieved without interprecursor trading.
(2) Approvals of precursor substitutions shall be made by the
Department on a case-by-case basis and are permit specific.]
