TITLE 326 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION OF THE COMMISSIONER

PURSUANT TO IC 13-14-9-7 AND SECOND NOTICE OF COMMENT PERIOD

LSA Document #09-220

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has developed draft rule language for amendments to 326 IAC 8 for application of reasonably available control technology (RACT) to limit emissions of volatile organic compound (VOC) from surface coating, printing, and graphic arts operations in ozone nonattainment counties. The purpose of this notice is to seek public comment on the draft rule, including suggestions for specific language to be included in the rule. IDEM seeks comment on the affected citations listed and any other provisions of Title 326 that may be affected by this rulemaking.

IC 13-14-9-7 recognizes that under certain circumstances it may be appropriate to reduce the number of public comment periods routinely provided. In cases where the commissioner determines that the rulemaking policy alternatives available to IDEM are so limited that the notice of first public comment period would provide no substantial benefit, IDEM may forgo this comment period and proceed directly to the notice of second public comment period.

If the commissioner makes the determination of limited rulemaking policy alternatives required by IC 13-14-9-7, the commissioner shall prepare written findings and include them in the second notice of public comment period published in the Indiana Register. This document constitutes the commissioner's written findings pursuant to IC 13-14-9-7.

The statute provides for this shortened rulemaking process if the commissioner determines that "the rulemaking policy alternatives available to the department are so limited that the public notice and comment period under (IC 13-14-9-3)... would provide no substantial benefit to:

(1) the environment; or

(2) persons to be regulated or otherwise affected by the proposed rule.".

Section 182(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act requires implementation of RACT for sources of VOCs in moderate ozone nonattainment areas, for which U.S. EPA has published a Control Technique Guideline (CTG). CTGs are used under U.S. EPA regulations to presumptively define RACT. Indiana is under a federal time clock that runs out in September 2009 for implementing VOC RACT in counties that were designated as nonattainment for the 8-hour standard for ozone (85 ppb). States with moderate ozone nonattainment areas are also required to update existing VOC RACT regulations within one year of U.S. EPA issuing an updated CTG or before a county can be redesignated as attaining the standard. U.S. EPA has issued new CTGs for automobile and light duty truck assembly coatings, paper coating, metal furniture coating, large appliance coating, miscellaneous metal and plastic parts coatings, flat wood paneling, and flexible package printing. Adoption of VOC RACT rules updated with the most recent CTGs in Lake and Porter counties, both currently designated as moderate nonattainment areas, is necessary for amending the state implementation plan (SIP) to secure redesignation approval by U.S. EPA consistent with current federal regulations.

Although IDEM expects Lake and Porter counties to be redesignated as attainment by early 2010, there is no guarantee that the counties will in fact be redesignated. This is primarily due to uncertainty associated with the meteorological conditions from one ozone season to another. Therefore, sources need to be prepared to comply with the requirements of these rules on April 1, 2011. However, it is IDEM's intention to repeal these rules once Lake County and Porter County are redesignated as attainment for the 1997 8-hour standard for ozone (85 ppb). IDEM is currently in discussions with U.S. EPA in regards to available options with moving these VOC RACT controls to contingency measures in the maintenance plan. These VOC RACT rules were not part of the control measures that IDEM used to demonstrate redesignation of attainment. Redesignation could be effective in early 2010, which means that it is possible that these requirements may be repealed prior to the compliance date.

This proposed rulemaking updates state VOC RACT rules in 326 IAC 8 consistent with the control recommendations (that is, presumptive RACT) in the applicable CTG for facilities located in Lake County and Porter County. IDEM is proposing that the new requirements from the revised CTGs for Lake County and Porter County facilities would be applicable on and after April 1, 2011. The CTGs are available on U.S. EPA's website at:

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/ozone/ctg_act

U.S. EPA has also issued new CTGs for lithographic and letterpress printing, industrial solvent cleaning operations, and miscellaneous industrial adhesives. While previously issued CTGs and alternative control technology (ACT) documents for aerospace manufacturing, industrial wastewater collection and treatment, synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI), and batch process have not recently been updated by U.S. EPA, IDEM is proposing to adopt rules for these source categories since IDEM had not previously adopted rules for these categories. IDEM is addressing these rulemakings in separate rulemaking notices.

This CTG applies to automobile and light duty truck assembly coating operations. The source category includes primary coatings that are applied to new automobile or new light duty truck bodies, or body parts for new automobiles or new light duty trucks, and other parts that are coated along with these bodies or body parts. The draft rule requires application of new coating limits, development of a work practice plan, and solvent cleaning work practices applicable to facilities with uncontrolled emissions exceeding 15 pounds per day of VOC. The amendments add a new category for electrodeposition primer based on the limit in the new source performance standard (NSPS) for surface coating of automobile and light duty trucks at 40 CFR 60, Subpart MM, and new reduced limits for primer-surfacer and topcoat operations. Limits for final repair operations based on a 1977 CTG for this source category will not change. VOC limits for miscellaneous materials are derived from the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Surface Coating of Automobile and Light Duty Trucks at 40 CFR 63, Subpart IIII. Facilities also subject to this NESHAP will not need to develop a new work practice plan but can add additional procedures for minimizing VOC emissions. As part of this CTG update, U.S. EPA also revised the Automobile Topcoat Protocol (EPA-453/R-08-002 September 2008) incorporated by reference at 326 IAC 8-1-2 (Compliance Methods). This rulemaking proposes to update this incorporation by reference for calculating daily weight average basis. This rulemaking would amend 326 IAC 8-1-2, 326 IAC 8-1-4, and 326 IAC 8-2-2 and is based on control recommendations in the CTG (EPA-453/R-08-006 September 2008).

This CTG applies to paper, film, and foil coating lines. The draft rule applies new limits based on mass of VOC per mass of coating solids applied to individual coating lines emitting at least 25 tons per year VOC (potential) from the coating applicators and drying ovens. Additional solvent cleaning work practices apply to facilities emitting at least 15 pounds per day of uncontrolled VOC emissions from all coating lines and related coating cleaning activities at the facility. The new limits can either be achieved through the use of compliant coatings based on VOC content or installation of VOC control devices to achieve a 90 percent VOC control efficiency, or a combination of the two options. Current VOC emission limits continue to apply for sources emitting less than the 25 ton per year VOC threshold, but more than the 15 pound per day threshold, in Lake County and Porter County. This rulemaking would amend 326 IAC 8-2-5 and is based on control recommendations in the CTG (EPA-453/R-07-003 September 2007).

Three separate CTGs apply to metal furniture coating, large appliance coating, and flat wood panel coating. The draft rule requires application of new coating limits by coating type based on mass of VOC per volume of nonwater coating as applied and solvent cleaning work practices applicable to facilities with uncontrolled emissions exceeding 15 pounds per day of VOC. The draft rule also establishes specific application equipment techniques for the metal furniture and large appliance source categories. The new limits can either be achieved through the use of compliant coatings based on VOC content or installation of VOC control devices to achieve a 90 percent VOC control efficiency, or a combination of the two options. This rulemaking would amend 326 IAC 8-2-6 (EPA-453/R-07-005 September 2007), 326 IAC 8-2-7 (EPA-453/R-07-004 September 2007), and 326 IAC 8-2-10 (EPA-453/R-06-004 September 2006) and is based on the control recommendations in each CTG.

This CTG applies to miscellaneous metal products and miscellaneous plastic parts surface coating operations. It does not include coatings that are part of other product categories listed under Section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act for which CTGs have been published. The CTGs apply where actual VOC emissions from all miscellaneous metal product and plastic parts coating operations, including related cleaning activities, equal or exceed 15 pounds per day. VOC content limits have been added for metal parts, and plastic parts, automotive/transportation coatings, business machines, motor vehicle materials, and pleasure craft surface coating. Currently, 326 IAC 8-2-9 only applies to metal parts; therefore, only the amendments for Lake County and Porter County have been extended to include metal and plastic parts. This CTG covers facilities that would have been covered by the 1994 ACT for Surface Coating of Automotive/Transportation and Business Machine Plastic Parts; therefore, IDEM will not need to address this ACT for VOC RACT. This rulemaking would amend 326 IAC 8-2-9 and is based on control recommendations in the CTG (EPA-453/R-08-003 September 2008).

This CTG applies to flexible package printing presses and related cleaning activities. The draft rule amendments apply to individual large presses emitting 25 tons per year of VOC from inks, coatings and adhesives, combined, from the press dryer. Sources may choose to reduce VOC emissions from individual presses by either installing control systems or accepting VOC content limits for inks, coatings, and adhesives. The solvent cleaning work practices portion of the amendment applies to facilities with uncontrolled emissions exceeding 15 pounds per day of VOC from all flexible package printing presses and related flexible package cleaning activities at the facility. The CTG only updated limits for packaging rotogravure processes and flexographic printing processes, a subset of the graphic arts rule at 326 IAC 8-5-5; therefore, the current limits for publication rotogravure processes will continue to apply after April 1, 2011, for facilities in Lake and Porter counties, as they currently do statewide.

The rulemaking policy alternatives are limited for this rulemaking. This rulemaking is based on the control recommendations contained in U.S. EPA's CTG documents. Although state agencies developing RACT rules may elect control approaches that differ from those described in the CTG, in practice it is difficult to establish alternative control approaches that are approvable by U.S. EPA (see below IC 13-14-9-4 analysis). Thus options for varying from the control recommendations contained in the CTG are limited.

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 VOC RACT rule is necessary for IDEM to meet a Clean Air Act requirement. The applicable CTGs presumptively define RACT under U.S. EPA regulations. When a state submits a RACT rule that is consistent with the presumptive RACT, the state does not need to submit additional support to demonstrate that the rule meets the Clean Air Act's RACT requirement. Section 182(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act requires IDEM to adopt VOC RACT for CTG source categories where (as described herein) applicable sources are identified in nonattainment areas of a state in order to secure redesignation of such area.

Since this rulemaking addresses a Clean Air Act requirement, there are no additional costs beyond those already imposed under federal law. A summary of cost estimates provided by U.S. EPA in each of the CTG documents is provided below. The department is asking for information from affected sources on their ability to meet the requirements in these proposed amendments and to help estimate the cost of compliance. At this time, IDEM anticipates that there will be very few or no sources for some source categories subject to these amendments in Lake County and Porter County. Potentially affected sources have been identified for flexible packaging and miscellaneous metal and plastic parts. No known sources in Lake County and Porter County have been identified for other source categories.

U.S. EPA has determined that there are 33 automobile and light duty truck assembly coating facilities in nonattainment areas nationwide affected by this CTG. IDEM does not think that there are any sources subject to this draft rule in Lake County and Porter County. These facilities have already reduced their VOC emissions in order to comply with a NSPS and NESHAP that also applies to this source category. Consequently, there are no additional VOC emission reductions and no cost to implement the CTG. Net savings are expected from the implementation of the work practice requirements.

Cost estimates contained in the federal CTG for add-on control requirements range from zero to $2,312,499 annually per plant using a model plant approach to estimate cost. Some facilities have already reduced their VOC emissions in order to comply with the 2002 NESHAP for Paper and Other Web Coatings. U.S. EPA has estimated that 47 percent of the facilities in ozone nonattainment areas are already complying with the NESHAP. U.S. EPA considers that the work practice recommendations will result in a net cost savings. Implementing work practices reduces the amount of cleaning materials used by reducing the amount that evaporates and is wasted.

U.S. EPA has estimated, according to the CTG, that the total annual cost for each of the 143 potentially affected facilities nationwide to be $240,500.

U.S. EPA has estimated, according to the CTG, that the total annual cost for all facilities nationwide affected by this rule to be $500,000.

U.S. EPA has estimated, according to the CTG, that the total annual cost for all of the 1,296 potentially affected facilities nationwide to be $13.6 million, based on the use of low VOC coatings.

U.S. EPA has found 24 flat wood paneling facilities in 13 states, none of which are in Lake County or Porter County. U.S. EPA has estimated, according to the CTG, that the total annual cost per facility to be an average of $101,000.

Many facilities located in ozone nonattainment areas are already meeting the control levels in the CTG. The costs for facilities not using low VOC content ink, coatings, and adhesives and that are not already using control equipment, will vary depending on the flow rate, hourly solvent use rate, and operating hours. For a press exhausting approximately 5,800 cubic feet per minute, operating 2,000 hours per year, and achieving 70 percent capture efficiency, U.S. EPA estimates the VOC emission reduction to range from 33 to 66 tons per year and the cost effectiveness to range from $1,300 per ton to $2,800 per ton depending on the average hourly solvent use rate. At lower solvent use rates, the cost per ton of emission controlled would likely be higher. Increasing the hourly solvent use rate, annual operating hours, or capture efficiency of this size press would increase the annual VOC emission reduction and improve the cost effectiveness. Larger presses with proportionately larger hourly solvent use rates would also have larger annual VOC emission reductions and better cost effectiveness than smaller presses.

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, Rules Development Branch, Office of Legal Counsel (317) 233-5697 or (800) 451-6027 (in Indiana).

The commissioner of IDEM has prepared written findings regarding rulemaking on automobile and light duty truck assembly coatings; paper, film, and foil coating; metal furniture coating; large appliance coating; flat wood panel coating; miscellaneous metal and plastic pasts; and flexible package printing. These findings are prepared under IC 13-14-9-7 and are as follows:

(1) This rulemaking is based on the control recommendations contained in U.S. EPA's CTG documents that presumptively define RACT for particular industries. Although state agencies developing RACT rules may elect control approaches that differ from those described in the CTG, in practice it is difficult to establish alternative control approaches that are approvable by U.S. EPA. Thus options for varying from the control recommendations contained in the CTG are limited. The control requirements contained in this draft rule are equivalent to those contained in the CTG that have already gone through public comment at the federal level. This notice will provide the opportunity to comment on how these control requirements will be implemented in Indiana.

(2) I have determined that under the specific circumstances pertaining to this rule, the rulemaking policy alternatives are so limited that the public notice and comment period provided in the notice of first public comment period would provide no substantial benefit to the environment or to persons to be regulated or otherwise affected by the rule.

(3) The draft rule is hereby incorporated into these findings.

This notice requests the submission of comments on the draft rule language, including suggestions for specific revisions to language to be contained in the rule. Mailed comments should be addressed to:
