TITLE 326 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION OF THE COMMISSIONER
PURSUANT TO IC 13-14-9-8 AND DRAFT RULE
LSA Document #10-413
DEVELOPMENT OF AMENDMENTS TO RULES CONCERNING MISCELLANEOUS METAL AND PLASTIC SURFACE COATING OPERATIONS
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has developed draft rule language for amendments to
326 IAC 8-2-1 and
326 IAC 8-2-9 concerning miscellaneous metal and plastic surface coating operations. IDEM is soliciting written comment on the draft rule language and will schedule a public hearing before the Air Pollution Control Board (board) for consideration of adoption of these rules.
IC 13-14-9-8 recognizes that under certain circumstances it may be appropriate to reduce the number of public comment periods and public hearings routinely provided. In cases where the commissioner determines that there is no anticipated benefit from a second public comment period and first public hearing, IDEM may forgo these opportunities for public comment and proceed directly to the public hearing and board meeting at which the draft rule is considered for adoption. Two opportunities for public comment (with this notice and at the public hearing prior to adoption of the rule) remain under this procedure.
If the commissioner makes the determination of no anticipated benefit required by
IC 13-14-9-8, the commissioner shall prepare written findings and publish those findings in the Indiana Register prior to the board meeting at which the draft rule is to be considered for adoption and include them in the board packet prepared for that meeting. This document constitutes the commissioner's written findings pursuant to
IC 13-14-9-8.
The statute provides for this shortened rulemaking process if the commissioner determines that:
(1) the rule constitutes:
(A) an adoption or incorporation by reference of a federal law, regulation, or rule that:
(i) is or will be applicable to Indiana; and
(ii) contains no amendments that have a substantive effect on the scope or intended application of the federal law or rule;
(B) a technical amendment with no substantive effect on an existing Indiana rule; or
(C) a substantive amendment to an existing Indiana rule, the primary and intended purpose of which is to clarify the existing rule; and
(2) the rule is of such nature and scope that there is no reasonably anticipated benefit to the environment or the persons referred to in
IC 13-14-9-7(a)(2) from:
(C) affording interested or affected parties the opportunity to develop evidence in the record collected under
IC 13-14-9-3 and
IC 13-14-9-4.
The miscellaneous metal surface coating requirements at
326 IAC 8-2-9 were amended in November 2009 (LSA Document #09-220) to address a revised federal control technique guideline (CTG) by adding new volatile organic compound (VOC) limits for metal and plastic parts surface coating operations in Lake County and Porter County. The revised CTG expanded the miscellaneous metal surface coating category to include plastic parts surface coating in nonattainment counties. IDEM did not intend for the requirements added by LSA Document #09-220 to apply to plastic parts surface coating operations outside of these two previously designated nonattainment counties. IDEM is proposing to amend the applicability provisions in
326 IAC 8-2-9(a) to clarify that the VOC limits in subsection (c) and the work practice requirements in subsection (f) apply only to miscellaneous metal surface coating operations. IDEM is also proposing to amend the general applicability provisions at
326 IAC 8-2-1(a)(3) and
326 IAC 8-2-1(a)(4) to clarify that applicability of the surface coating requirements in
326 IAC 8-2-9 for Lake County and Porter County apply to miscellaneous metal and plastics parts, but that outside of these two counties it is limited to miscellaneous metal coating operations.
IC 13-14-9-4 Identification of Restrictions and Requirements Not Imposed under Federal Law
No element of the draft rule imposes either a restriction or a requirement on persons to whom the draft rule applies that is not imposed under federal law. This draft rule is a technical amendment without substantive effect intended to clarify an existing Indiana rule and does not impose any restrictions or requirements.
There is no potential fiscal impact with this rulemaking as this rule only clarifies the applicability of amendments that were made to
326 IAC 8-2-9 in November 2009 (LSA Document #09-220).
Public Participation and Workgroup Information
At this time, no workgroup is planned for the rulemaking. If you feel that a workgroup or other informal discussion on the rule is appropriate, please contact Susan Bem, Rule and State Implementation Plan Development Section, Office of Air Quality at (317) 233-5697 or (800) 451-6027 (in Indiana).
Small Business Assistance Information
IDEM established a compliance and technical assistance (CTAP) program under
IC 13-28-3. The program provides assistance to small businesses and information regarding compliance with environmental regulations. In accordance with
IC 13-28-3 and
IC 13-28-5, there is a small business assistance program ombudsman to provide a point of contact for small businesses affected by environmental regulations. Information on the CTAP program, the monthly CTAP newsletter, and other resources available can be found at:

The commissioner of IDEM has prepared written findings regarding rulemaking on surface coating operations at
326 IAC 8-2-1 and
326 IAC 8-2-9. These findings are prepared under
IC 13-14-9-8 and are as follows:
(1) This rule is a technical amendment without substantive effect on an existing Indiana rule. The primary and intended purpose of this rulemaking is to clarify the existing rule. The miscellaneous metal surface coating requirements at
326 IAC 8-2-9 were amended in November 2009 (LSA Document #09-220) to address a revised federal control technique guideline (CTG) by adding new volatile organic compound (VOC) limits for metal and plastic parts surface coating operations in Lake County and Porter County. This rulemaking clarifies that only portions of
326 IAC 8-2-9 are applicable to plastic parts surface coating operations. IDEM did not intend to apply any requirements to plastic parts surface coating operations outside of these two counties. The current language does not contain VOC limits for plastics parts surface coating statewide; however, the way the applicability language of
326 IAC 8-2-1 is structured it could by interpreted to mean that plastic parts surface coating operations outside of Lake County and Porter County are subject to the work practice provisions of
326 IAC 8-2-9, which the 2009 rulemaking (LSA Document #09-220) did not intend to do.
(2) The public will benefit from prompt adoption of this rule because
326 IAC 8-2 could be interpreted to apply to plastic parts surface coating operations outside of Lake County and Porter County and render these sources not subject to
326 IAC 8-1-6 BACT, when there are no VOC limits in
326 IAC 8-2-9 for these types of operations.
(3) I have determined that under the specific circumstances pertaining to this rule, there would be no benefit to the environment or to persons to be regulated or otherwise affected by this rule from the first public comment period and first public hearing.
(4) The draft rule is hereby incorporated into these findings.
