OF

REQUIRED

RULE

The

Agency

certifies

in

accordance

with

35

Iii.

Adm.

Code102.202(h)

and

102.500,

and

415

ILCS

5/28.2(b),

that

it

believes

that

this

proposal

for

amendments

to

35

Ill.

Adm.

Code

211,

218,

and

219

is

a

federally

required

rule

under

Sections

172(c)(1)

and

182(b)(2)

of

the

Clean

Air

Act

(“CAA”).

42

U.S.C.

§

7502(c)(1)

and

751

1a(b)(2).

The

proposal

for

amendments

is

needed

to

satisfy

Illinois’

obligation

to

submit

a

State

Implementation

Plan

(“SIP”)

for

sources

of

volatile

organic

materials

(“VOM”)

emissions

in

areas

designated

as

nonattainment

with

respect

to

the

ozone

National

Ambient

Air

Quality

Standard

(“NAAQS”).

Section

172(c)(1)

of

the

CAA

provides

that

states

must

include

in

their

SIPs

measures,”

including

“reasonably

available

control

technology”

(“RACT”),

for

sources

of

emissions.

42

U.S.C.

§

7502(c)(1).

Section

1

82(b)(2)

of

the

CAA

provides

that,

for

nonattainment

areas,

the

State

must

revise

its

SIP

to

include

RACT

for

sources

of

VOM

emissions

covered

by

a

control

techniques

guideline

(“CTG”)

issued

between

November

15,

1990,

and

the

date

of

attainment.

42

U.S.C.

§

751

la(b)(2).

---

The

proposed

amendments

are

intended

to establish

RACT

requirements

for

Group

II

Consumer

and

Commercial Product

categories

in response

to

CTGs

issued

by

the United

States

Environmental Protection

Agency

for

STATEMENT

OF REASONS

I.

INTRODUCTION

The

Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency (“Illinois EPA”) submits this

Statement

of Reasons to the Illinois Pollution

Control

Board (“Board”) pursuant to

Sections 27 and 28 of the

Environmental

Protection

Act (“Act”) (415 ILCS 5/27 and 28)

and 35 Ill. Adm. Code

102.202 in support

of the attached proposal of regulations.

These

regulations are proposed to control emissions of

Volatile Organic Material (“VOM”),

which is

effectively the same as volatile

organic

compounds (“VOC”), from the

following Group II

Consumer and Commercial

Product Categories: Industrial Cleaning

Solvents, Flat

Wood Paneling Coatings,

Flexible Packaging Printing Materials,

Lithographic Printing

Materials, and

Letterpress Printing Materials.

This proposed

rulemaking

is intended to meet certain

obligations of the State

of

Illinois

under the federal Clean Air Act

(“CAA”),

42

U.S.C.

§

7401 et seq.

Specifically,

the

rulemaking is intended

to satisfy

Illinois’ obligation to submit

a State Implementation

Plan (“SIP”)

to address requirements under Sections 172

and 182 of the CAA

for

sources

of

VOM

emissions in areas designated as

nonattainment with respect to the

ozone

National

Ambient Air Quality Standard

(“NAAQS”) See 42

U.S.C.

§

7502

and

7511a.

1

---

Section 1 72(c)(1)

of

the

CAA

provides

that

states

must

include

in their

SIPs for

nonattainment

areas “reasonably

available control

measures”

(“RACM”),

including

“reasonably

available

control technology”

(“RACT”),

for sources of emissions.

42

U.S.C.

§

7502(c)(l).

Section 182(b)(2)

of the CAA provides

that,

for

ozone

nonattainment

areas, the

State must

revise its SIP to include

RACT for sources

of VOC emissions

covered by a control techniques

guideline (“CTG”)

issued

between November

15, 1990,

and the date

of

attainment.

42

U.S.C.

§

7511a(b)(2).

Illinois

is

proposing

reasonable and

cost

effective

VOM controls

for Group II

Consumer

and

Commercial

Product

Categories in response

to

CTGs

issued for

such

categories. Included

in this proposal

are amendments

to 35 Ill. Adm.

Code Part 218,

Organic Material

Emission

Standards

and Limitations

for the Chicago

Area;

35

Ill. Adm.

Code

Part 219, Organic Material

Emission Standards

and

Limitations

for the Metro

East

Area;

and

35 Iii. Adm. Code

Part 211, Definitions

and General

Provisions.

II. STATEMENT

OF

FACTS

The

CAA establishes

a comprehensive

program for controlling

and improving

the

nation’s

air quality via state

and federal regulations.

The

United

States Environmental

Protection

Agency (“USEPA”)

is charged

with

identifying air

pollutants that endanger

the public

health

and welfare

and with formulating

the NAAQS that

specify

the

maximum

permissible

concentrations

of those pollutants

in the ambient

air

pursuant to

Sections

108 and 109 of the

CAA.

42

U.S.C.

§

7408-7409.

A.

8-Hour

Ozone

NAAOS

Ozone

is a gas composed

of three atoms

of oxygen.

Ozone occurs both in

the

Earth’s

upper

atmosphere and at

ground

level.

VOC is a primary precursor

to the

2

---

formation

of

ground-level

ozone,

which

is

formed

when

oxides

of nitrogen

and

VOC

react

in

the

atmosphere

in

the

presence

of

sunlight.

71

Fed.

Reg.

58746

(Oct.

5,

2006).

Exposure

to

sufficient

concentrations

of

ground-level

ozone

is

associated

with

agricultural

crop

loss,

damage

to

forests

and

ecosystems,

and a

variety

of

human

health

effects,

including

acute

respiratory

symptoms,

increased

susceptibility

to

respiratory

infection,

and

pulmonary

inflammation.

71 Fed.

Reg.

58746.

On

July

18, 1997,

USEPA

revised

the NAAQS

for

ozone

by replacing

the

1-hour

standard

with

an

8-hour

standard.

62

Fed.

Reg.

38856

(July

18,

1997).

In

Illinois,

there

are

two

areas

designated

as

nonattainment

(moderate)

for

the

8-hour

ozone

standard:

1)

the

Chicago-Gary-Lake

County,

IL-IN

designated

area,

which

includes

Cook,

DuPage,

Grundy

(partial-Goose

Lake

and

Aux

Sable

Townships),

Kane,

Kendall

(partial-Oswego

Township),

Lake,

McHenry,

and

Will

Counties; and

2) the

St.

Louis,

MO-IL

designated

area,

which

includes

Jersey,

Madison,

Monroe,

and

St. Clair

Counties.

40

CFR

§

81.3

14.

B.

Consumer

and

Commercial

Products,

Group

II

Section

183(e)

of the

CAA

required

that USEPA

conduct

a study

of

the

emissions

of VOC

into

the

ambient

air

from

consumer

and

commercial

products

in

order

to

determine

their

potential

to

contribute

to

ozone

levels

which

violate

the

ozone

NAAQS

and

to

establish

criteria

for

regulating

emissions

of

VOC

from

those

products.

71

Fed.

Reg.

58746.

Section

183(e)

provides,

“[T]he

Administrator

shall

list

those

categories

of

consumer or

commercial

products that

the Administrator

determines,

based

on the

study,

account

for

at least

80

percent

of the

VOC

emissions.

.

. from

consumer

or commercial

products

in

areas

that

violate

the

NAAQS

for ozone”

and

shall

divide

the

categories

into

groups.

42

U.S.C.

§

7511b(e)(3)(A).

3

---

The CAA

requires

that

USEPA

then

either

regulate

VOC

emissions

from

such

categories

or

issue

a

CTG

in

lieu

of a national

regulation

if the

Administrator

determines

that

such

guidance

will

be

substantially

as

effective

as regulations

in

reducing

emissions

of

VOC

which

contribute

to

ozone

levels

in

ozone

nonattainment

areas.

42

U.S.C.

§

751

lb(e)(3)(C).

CTGs

provide

states with

recommendations

regarding

what

types

of

controls

could

constitute

RACT

for

VOCs

for

the applicable

source

categories.

71 Fed.

Reg.

58745,

58747.

States

must

either

adopt

regulations

to

implement

the

recommendations

in

the

CTG

or adopt

alternative

approaches

that

constitute

RACT,

either

of

which

must

be

submitted

to

the USEPA

for

review

and

approval

as

part

of the

SIP

process.

71

Fed.

Reg.

58745,

58747.

On

October

5, 2006,

the USEPA

issued

final

CTGs

for

Group

II Consumer

and

Commercial

Product

Categories

in lieu of

national

regulations

for the

control

of

VOC

emissions.

The

USEPA

required

that states

submit

SIP

revisions

in response

to

the CTGs

within

one

year.

71 Fed.

Reg.

58745-58753.

C.

CAA’s

RACT

Requirements

USEPA

designated

the

Chicago

and Metro

East

areas

in

Illinois

as nonattainment

(moderate)

for

the

8-hour

ozone

NAAQS,

which

triggered

requirements

under

the

CAA

for

adopting

regulations

that

reduce

emissions

sufficiently

to

demonstrate

attainment

of

the

standard.

Section

172(c)(l)

of

the CAA

provides,

in

pertinent

part:

(c)

Nonattainment

plan

provisions

The

plan

provisions

(including

plan

items)

required

to

be submitted

under

this

part

shall

comply

with

each

of the

following:

(1)

In

general

4

---

Such plan

provisions

shall

provide

for

the implementation

of

all

reasonably

available

control

measures

as expeditiously

as

practicable

(including

such

reductions

in

emissions

from

existing

sources in

the area as

may be obtained

through the

adoption,

at a

minimum,

of

reasonably

available

control

technology)

and

shall

provide

for attainment

of the

national

primary

ambient air

quality

standards.

42

U.S.C.

§

7502(c)(l).

A subset

of

RACM

is

RACT,

which

is defined

as the lowest

emission

limitation

that a particular

source

can

meet by applying

a

control technique

that

is reasonably

available

considering

technological

and economic

feasibility.

See 44 Fed.

Reg.

53762

(September

17, 1979).

Additionally,

Section

182(b)

of the

CAA provides,

in pertinent

part:

(b)

Moderate

Areas

Each

State

in which

all or part

of

a Moderate

Area

is located

shall, with

respect

to

the Moderate

Area,

make the

submissions

described

under

subsection

(a) of this

section

(relating

to Marginal

Areas),

and shall

also submit

the revisions

to

the

applicable

implementation

plan

described

under

this subsection.

(2)

Reasonably

available

control

technology

The

State

shall

submit

a

revision

to the

applicable

implementation

plan to

include provisions

to

require

the implementation

of

reasonably

available

control

technology

under

section 7502(c)(1)

of this

title with respect

to each

of

the following:

(A)

Each category

of VOC

sources

in the

area

covered

by a

CTG

document

issued

by the

Administrator

between

November

15, 1990,

and the

date of

attainment.

42

U.S.C.

§

75lla(b)(2).

Sections

172

and

182 of the

CAA

establish

the

requirement

for

Illinois

to submit

VOC regulations

constituting

RACT

for

Group

II Consumer

and Commercial

Product

Categories

in

ozone nonattainment

areas classified

as moderate

and above.

Illinois

was

required

to submit

its

SIP revisions

by October

5,

2007.

---

III. PURPOSE

AND

EFFECT

OF

THE

PROPOSAL

This

rulemaking

proposal

has been

prepared

to

satisfy

Illinois’

obligation

to

submit

a SIP to

address

the

requirements

under

Sections

172 and

182

of the

CAA,

as

described

above,

for

sources

of VOC

emissions

in areas

designated

as nonattainment

with

respect

to the

ozone

NAAQS.

See 42 U.S.C.

§

7502

and

7511a.

Also,

Illinois

is required

to

submit

these

SIP revisions

before

the USEPA

can

redesignate

the

Chicago

and

Metro

East

nonattainment

areas

as

attaining

the

1997 ozone

NAAQS,

regardless

of whether

the

VOC

reductions

obtained

by

the

SIP revisions

are

actually

necessary

to achieve

attainment

of

the

NAAQS.

Section

107(d)(3)(E)

of the

CAA

provides

that

the

Administrator

may not

redesignate

a nonattainment

area to

attainment

unless

the State

has

a

fully-approved

SIP

for the area

seeking redesignation

and the State

has

met

all applicable

requirements

of

Section

110 and

Part

D (which

includes

the

requirement

that states

adopt

VOC RACT

rules

for categories

covered

by

a

CTG).

42

U.S.C.

§

7407(d)(3)(E).

In

a

September

17, 1993,

guidance

document

from

Michael

H.

Shapiro,

Acting

Assistant

Administrator

for Air

and Radiation

(“Shapiro

Memorandum”),

the

USEPA confirmed,

“[B]efore

EPA

can

act favorably

upon

any

State

redesignation

request, the

statutorily-mandated

control

programs

of

section

110

and part

D

(that were

due

prior

to the time

of the

redesignation

request)

must

have

been

adopted

by

the State

and

approved

by EPA

into the

SIP.”

(Shapiro

Memorandum,

p.

2).’

See

also Wall

v. USEPA.

In Wall, the

United States

Court of Appeals

for

the Sixth Circuit

vacated

the

USEPA’s

redesignation

of a

state to attainment,

in

part

because the

state

failed to

promulgate

VOC

RACT

rules in response

to

CTGs. The

USEPA

argued

that fully

adopted

VOC

RACT

rules were

unnecessary

because

the state did

not

need

the reductions

from

such

rules

to achieve attainment.

The court

rejected

USEPA’s

argument,

holding

that

the CAA unambiguously

requires that

a SIP

submitted

with

respect to

a

redesignation

request

contain

fully

adopted

RACT

rules required

by

Part

D.

Redesignation

absent

such

rules

was

therefore

improper.

Wall

v. USEPA,

265

F.2d 426,

433,

440-42

(6th

Cir.

2001).

---

On

July 2,

2007,

the

Illinois

EPA

submitted

to the

USEPA

an attainment

demonstration

for the

Metro

East

nonattainment

area

for

the

1997

8-hour

ozone

NAAQS.

On March

19, 2009,

the

Illinois

EPA

submitted

an

attainment

demonstration

for

the

Chicago

nonattainment

area as

well.

These

areas

cannot

be

redesignated

to

attainment

of

the

ozone

NAAQS,

however,

unless

and

until

the

Illinois

EPA

submits

SIP

revisions

in

response

to

the

Group

II

CTGs

and

the USEPA

approves

such

revisions.

Finally,

in

March

2008,

USEPA

strengthened

the

eight-hour

ozone

standard.

73

Fed.

Reg.

16436

(March

27,

2008).

It

is likely

that

the

same

areas

in

Illinois

that are

currently

designated

as

nonattainment

for the

present

standards

will

soon

be

designated

as

nonattainment

for the

revised

standard.

While

attainment

of

the

revised

standard

is not

the

purpose

of

this

rulemaking,

it

should

be noted

that

any

reduction

in VOM

emissions

in the

nonattainment areas

resulting

from

these

proposed

amendments

will

likely

help

Illinois

achieve

the

revised

NAAQS.

Generally, Illinois

EPA’s

regulatory

proposal

aims

to

implement

the

recommendations

contained

in

the CTGs

to

the

extent

that

such recommendations

are

consistent with,

and

impose

stricter

requirements

than,

existing

regulations:

Industrial

Cleaning

Solvents.

The

proposed

regulations

apply

to

cleaning

operations at sources that meet

the

applicability

threshold

set

forth

in

the

CTG,

subject

to

several

partial

and

complete

exclusions.

Per the

CTG,

the

proposed

regulations

require

that

subject

sources

comply

with

work

practice

requirements

and

with

one

of three

alternative

control

requirements.

Flat

Wood

Paneling

Coatings.

The

proposed

regulations

require

that

flat

wood

paneling

coating

lines

comply

with

the

VOM

content

limitation

specified

in

the

CTG.

As

7

---

an alternative to

the

VOM

content

limit,

subject

lines may comply

with

a daily weighted

averaging

limitation or utilize

an add-on control

device

that meets a specified

overall

VOM reduction requirement.

The

proposed

regulations

also require

that

flat wood

paneling coating

lines comply

with the existing

cleaning

and

storage work practice

requirements

for

wood

furniture,

as well

as with the work practices

set forth

in the CTG.

Flexible Packaging

Printing Materials.

The

proposed regulations

require that

flexographic

and rotogravure

printing

lines

that

print

flexible packaging,

or that print

flexible

packaging and

non-flexible packaging

on

the

same

line, comply

with

the

CTG

recommended

VOM content

limit. Alternatively,

such

lines may comply

with

a

weighted

averaging

limitation

or install and

operate

a capture

and control system

that reduces

VOM emissions

by specified

percentages.

The proposed

regulations

also require that

printing

lines

that

meet the CTG’s

prescribed applicability

threshold

comply with

work

practice

requirements for cleaning

materials.

Lithographic

Printing

Materials. The

proposed regulations

provide

that

the

existing

requirements regarding

fountain solutions

and cleaning

materials

apply

to

sources

that

meet

the applicability

threshold specified

in the

CTG,

subject to certain

exclusions. Additionally,

the

proposed regulations

require that afterburners

or other

approved control

devices installed

on

heatset

web

offset

lithographic

printing

lines reduce

VOM emissions

by specified percentages

or to a maximum

afterburner exhaust

outlet

concentration.

Letterpress

Printing Materials.

The

proposed

regulations require

that heatset

web

letterpress printing

lines that meet the

CTG’s

prescribed

applicability

threshold

install

afterburners or

other

approved control

devices

that reduce

VOM emissions

by specified

8

---

percentages

or to

a maximum

afterburner

exhaust

outlet concentration.

All letterpress

printing

lines

that

meet

the

CTG’s

lower

applicability

threshold

must

comply

with

work

practices

for

cleaning

materials.

Such

lines must

also comply

with either

a VOM

content

limit

or VOM

composite

partial vapor

pressure

IV.

GEOGRAPHIC

REGIONS

AND

SOURCES

AFFECTED

The

geographic

regions

subject

to

the proposed

regulations

are the

two

areas

designated

as nonattainment

for

the 8-hour

ozone standard:

1) the Chicago-Gary-Lake

County,

IL-IN

designated

area, which

includes Cook,

DuPage,

Grundy

(partial-Goose

Lake

and Aux

Sable

Townships),

Kane,

Kendall

(partial-Oswego

Township),

Lake,

McHenry,

and

Will Counties;

and

2)

the

St.

Louis, MO-IL

designated

area,

which

includes

Jersey, Madison,

Monroe,

and

St.

Clair Counties.

40

CFR

§

81.314.

The

proposed

regulations

are

generally

expected

to affect both

new

and

existing

sources

that are

covered

by

a

Group

II CTG,

are

located

in the Chicago

or Metro

East

nonattainment

areas,

and meet

the

applicability

criteria

specified

in

the regulations.

Appendix

B to

the

TSD lists

the sources

potentially

affected

by

the

proposed regulations.

V.

TECHNICAL

FEASIBILITY

AND

ECONOMIC

REASONABLENESS

The

technology

for

controlling

VOM emissions

from

Group

II product

categories

is both

technically

feasible

and economically

reasonable.

Affected

sources

can

meet

the

requirements

in

the proposed

amendments

through

a

number

of

readily available

control

techniques.

9

---

Control

techniques

for

reducing

VOM

emissions

from

industrial

cleaning

solvents

include

work practices,

material

reformulation

or

substitution

(namely,

the use

of low

VOM

cleaning

solvents,

no-VOM

solvents,

or

low vapor

pressure

solvents),

and add-on

controls

or modifying

equipment.

Similarly,

material

reformulation,

add-on

controls,

and

work

practices

for

coatings

and

cleaning

materials

are available

VOM

reduction

techniques

for flat

wood

paneling

coating

lines.

See Technical

Support

Document.

VOM

control

approaches

for flexible

packaging

printing

lines

include

material

reformulation,

add-on

controls

such as

thermal

oxidizers,

catalytic

oxidizers,

and

carbon

adsorbers,

and work

practices

for

cleaning

materials.

For lithographic

printing

lines,

control

options

include

add-on

controls

for

heatset

web

offset

lithographic

printing

lines,

such

as

thermal

afterburners,

catalytic

afterburners,

and

condenser

filter systems,

fountain

solution

reformulation

(such

as the

use of alcohol

substitutes),

process

modifications

for

fountain

solutions,

and

material

reformulation

or substitution

for

cleaning

solutions.

Control

approaches

for letterpresses

are

similar

to

those available

for lithographic

printing

lines

(although

letterpresses

do

not

utilize

fountain

solutions).

Technical

Support

Document.

In

the

Technical

Support

Document,

the

Illinois

EPA

explains

in

detail

that

the

above

control

approaches

are

economically

feasible,

particularly

as

many

of the

techniques

are

already

widely

used

by the

affected

industries.

VI. COMMUNICATION

WITH

INTERESTED

PARTIES

The

Illinois

EPA

engaged

in

extensive

outreach

on

this

proposal.

On

November

5,

2008,

the

Illinois

EPA

posted

a draft

of

the

proposed

rule

and

copies

of the

pertinent

CTGs

on

its

website

for public

comment.

The

Illinois

EPA

subsequently

engaged

in

10

---

numerous

conference calls

and exchanged

correspondence

with representatives of

affected sources regarding the proposal.

Illinois

EPA received several

comments

on the draft rule, and this proposal

incorporates many of the concerns and suggestions

set forth

in those

comments. Such

comments can generally be categorized into the

following

areas: appropriate applicability

thresholds

and

exclusions,

methods of calculating

applicability

thresholds,

appropriate

control

requirements, simplification of

recordkeeping

and reporting requirements, and

revisions to proposed

definitions.

These

regulations

are being proposed

after the

interested parties have had an opportunity to

review the proposal

and discuss any issues

with the Illinois EPA.

Section 218/219.217

Wood Furniture

Coating Work

Practice

Standards

The

Illinois EPA proposes

changing the title

of this Section

to “Wood

Furniture

Coating

and

Flat Wood

Paneling Coating Work

Practice

Standards.”

The Illinois EPA

also

proposes

amending

this Section

to provide that

flat wood paneling

coating lines

are

subject to the

existing cleaning and

storage work

practice requirements

in this Section.

The Illinois EPA

proposes adding

additional

cleaning

and

storage

requirements for

flat

wood paneling

coating

lines as well;

specifically,

the

Illinois

EPA

proposes

requiring that

such

coating lines minimize

spills of VOM containing

coatings,

thinners,

and cleaning

materials, minimize

emissions of VOM

during cleaning

activities,

and keep mixing

vessels which

contain VOM

coatings and

other materials

closed

except

when

specifically

in

use.

Subpart H: Printing

and

Pub1ishin

Section 218/219.401

Flexographic

and Rotogravure

Printing

The Illinois

EPA proposes

amending

this

Section

to separate requirements

that are

applicable prior to the

new compliance

date

from

those

applicable

after

the new

compliance date.

The

Illinois EPA

proposes

amending

subsection

(a)

to provide

that, on and after

May 1, 2010,

owners

and operators of flexographic

or rotogravure printing

lines that

do

not print

flexible

packaging and that

are complying

with subsection

(a) shall comply

with

the existing

VOM

content limitations.

Owners

and operators

of flexographic or

rotogravure

printing

lines that print

flexible

21

---

and non-flexible

packaging

on the same

line shall

restrict the

VOM content

of

coatings

and inks to

.8

kg VOM/kg solids applied

or .16

kg VOM/kg

materials

applied

or less.

The

Illinois EPA proposes

amending

Section

218/219.401(b)

to provide that, on

and

after

May 1,

2010, owners and

operators

of flexographic

or rotogravure printing

lines

that do not

print flexible packaging

and

that

are complying

with

subsection

(b) shall

comply with

the existing

weighted

averaging

requirements.

Owners

and operators

of

flexographic

or rotogravure

printing lines that

print flexible

packaging,

or that

print

flexible

packaging

and

non-flexible packaging

on the same

line,

and

that are

complying

with subsection

(b) shall

not apply coatings

or inks on the

subject printing

line

unless

the

weighted

average,

by

weight, VOM

content of all coatings

and inks as

applied each

day

on the subject printing

line

does

not

exceed the

VOM limitations

specified in

amendments

to subsection (a) of this

Section.

The

Illinois

EPA

proposes

inserting

equations

for

calculating the weighted

average

VOM

content

for

such

lines.

The Illinois

EPA

also

proposes amending

Section 2l8.401(b)(1)(A)

to correct a

typographical

error in the existing

equation, and

Section

219.401(b)

to

correct

spacing

errors

in the

existing equations.

The

Illinois

EPA proposes

amending

subsection

(c) to

provide that, on and

after

May 1, 2010, the owner

or operator

of a flexographic

or rotogravure

printing line

that

does not print flexible

packaging

and

that is complying

with subsection

(c) shall equip

the

printing line with a capture

system

and control device

that complies

with the existing

control

efficiency requirements.

The

owner

or

operator of a

flexographic or rotogravure

printing line that prints

flexible packaging

shall

equip the printing

line with a capture

system and control device

that provides

an overall reduction

in VOM

emissions of

65-80

---

percent, depending on the dates

that

the printing

line and control system were first

constructed at the

subject source. The owner

or operator

of a

flexographic or rotogravure

printing line that prints

flexible packaging

and non-flexible

packaging on the same line

shall comply

with the overall control efficiency

requirements set forth in either

subsection

(c)(1)(D) or subsection (c)(3) of this

Section, whichever is more stringent.

The

Illinois EPA proposes

amending

subsection

(c)(6) to specify the printing lines

that are required to

perform testing pursuant

to this

subsection.

The Illinois EPA

proposes

adding subsection

(d), which provides that VOM

containing

cleaning materials associated with

flexographic

or rotogravure printing lines

that print flexible packaging

or print

flexible

packaging

and

non-flexible packaging

on

the same line shall

be

kept, stored, and disposed

of in closed containers, and conveyed

from one

location to another in closed containers

or pipes.

Section

218/219.402

Applicability

The

Illinois EPA proposes adding subsection

(b), which provides that the

limitations of

Section 218/219.401(d)

apply to all flexographic and rotogravure printing

lines

that print

flexible packaging or print

flexible

packaging and non-flexible packaging

on

the same

line at sources where the combined

emissions

of VOM from all flexographic

and

rotogravure printing

lines total

6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day)

or

more, in the absence

of air

pollution

control

equipment.

Section

218/219.403 Compliance Schedule

The Illinois

EPA proposes adding

subsections (e),

(f),

and

(g),

which

establish

May 1, 2010,

as the

compliance

date for the requirements

set

forth in

the proposed

amendments.

Section

218/219.404

Recordkeeping

and

Reporting

The Illinois

EPA proposes

amending

this

Section to reference

recordkeeping

and

reporting

compliance dates

for

printing

lines

subject

to the limitations

in

the

proposed

amendments to Section

218/219.401.

The

Illinois

EPA

also proposes

amending

subsections

(c) and (d) to clarify

that

the owner

or operator of a

printing line subject

to the requirements

in

Section

218/219.401(a)(2)(B)

or

(b)(3) shall certify

in accordance

with subsection

(c)(1) or

(d)( 1), as

applicable, even

if the owner or

operator of such

line submitted

a certification

prior to January

1, 2010.

The Illinois EPA

proposes

amending

subsection

(e)

to

provide

that if the owner or

operator of a printing

line is

not required

to perform

testing of a capture

system and

control device pursuant

to Section

218/219.401

(c)(6), the owner

or operator shall

submit

a certification

to the Agency that includes

specified

information.

The Illinois EPA

also

proposes amending

this subsection

to provide that,

by May

1,

2010,

owners or operators

of printing lines

subject to Section

218/219.401(c)(3)

or (c)(4) shall

submit to the

Illinois

EPA records documenting

the dates

each subject

printing line and control

device

were

constructed at the subject

source.

The Illinois EPA

proposes

adding subsections (f),

(g),

and

(h).

Subsection (f)

establishes recordkeeping

and reporting

requirements for

any owner

or

operator of a

flexographic or rotogravure

printing

line that prints flexible

packaging

or prints flexible

packaging

and non-flexible

packaging

on the same line

and which

is

exempt from the

limitations of Section

218/219.401(d)

because of the criteria

in Section

218/219.402(b).

Subsection

(g)

establishes

subject to

the

limitations of Section 218/219.401(d).

Subsection

(h) provides that all records required by subsections (f) and

(g)

shall be

retained

for

three years and shall

be

made available to the

Agency upon request.

Section

218/219.405

Lithographic Printing: Applicability

The Illinois EPA proposes amending this Section to separate requirements that are

applicable

prior to the

new compliance date

from

those applicable

after

the

new

compliance date. The Illinois EPA also proposes deleting requirements that were only

applicable until March 15, 1996, and reformatting/renumbering the remaining

subsections accordingly.

The Illinois EPA proposes adding a new subsection (c) to provide that, on and

after

May 1, 2010, the requirements in Sections 2l8/219.407(a)(1)(B) through (a)(1)(E)

and 218/219.407(b) and all

applicable provisions

in Sections 218/219.408 through

218/219.411 of

this Subpart shall apply to all owners or operators of heatset web offset

lithographic

printing line(s) if the

combined emissions

of VOM from all lithographic

printing

line(s) at the source (including solvents used for cleanup operations associated

with the

lithographic printing line(s)) ever

exceed

45.5 kg/day (100 lbs/day), before the

application of capture systems and control devices. On and after May 1, 2010, Sections

218/21 9.407(a)(

1 )(A), 218/21 9.407(a)(2) through (a)(5), and all applicable provisions in

Sections

218/219.408 through 218/219.411, shall apply to all owners

or

operators

of

lithographic printing

lines at sources where the combined

emissions of VOM from all

lithographic

printing lines at the source (including solvents used for cleanup operations

associated with

the

lithographic printing lines) ever total

6.8 kg/day (15

lbs/day) or more.

Finally,

subsection

(c) provides that, at sources where the

combined emissions of

VOM

25

---

from

all

lithographic

printing

line(s)

at the

source

equal

or

exceed

6.8 kg/day

(15

lbs/day)

but

do

not exceed

45.5

kg/day

(100

lbs/day),

before

the

application

of

capture

systems

and

control

devices,

certain

specified exclusions

apply

unless

the

owner

or operator

of

the

source

certifies

that the

Section

2 18/219.406

Provisions

Applying

to

Heatset

Web

Offset

Lithographic

Printing

Prior

to

March

15,

1996

The

Illinois

EPA

proposes

repealing

this

Section, as

it

contains

requirements

that

were

applicable

prior

to

March

15,

1996.

Section

218/219.407

Emission

Limitations

and

Control

Requirements

for

Lithographic

Printing

Lines

On

and

After

March

15, 1996

The

Illinois

EPA

proposes

amending

this

Section

by

deleting

references

to the

previous

compliance

date

of

March

15,

1996,

and

separating

requirements

that

are

applicable

prior

to the

new

compliance

date

from

those

applicable

after

the new

compliance

date.

The

Illinois

EPA

also

proposes

changing

the

VOM

content

limitations

for

fountain

solutions

from

“by

volume”

to

“by

weight,”

as

USEPA

has

informed

the

Illinois

EPA

that

this

is

the

appropriate

way

to

measure

the

limit.

The

Illinois

EPA

proposes

amending

subsections

(a)(1)(C)

and

(b)

to

provide

that,

on and

after

May

1, 2010,

owners

or operators

of

subject

heatset

web offset

lithographic

printing

lines

shall

install

and

operate

an

afterburner

or

other

approved

control

device

so

that

VOM

emissions from

the

press

dryer

exhaust

are

reduced

by

90-95

percent,

by

weight,

depending

on

the

date

that

the afterburner

or

other

control

device

was

first

constructed at the

subject

source,

or

to a

maximum

afterburner

exhaust

outlet

concentration

of

20

ppmv

(as

carbon).

The

Illinois EPA

proposes amending

subsection

(a)( 1 )(D)

to delete references

to

monitoring

requirements

already

set forth

in

Section

218/219.410.

The Illinois EPA

proposes

amending

subsection

(a)(4)

to provide that, on

and

after

May

1, 2010,

owners

or operators

of sources that

meet the applicability

criteria in

Section

218/219.405(c)(3)

and do not certify

pursuant

to Section

218/219.41 1(g)(1)(B)

that

the source will

not make

use

of any of the

exclusions

in Section 218/219.405(c)(3)

shall not

cause or allow the use

of

a cleaning

solution

on

any lithographic printing

line

unless

the

VOM content of the

as-used cleaning

solution

is less

than

or equal to 70

percent,

by

weight,

or

shall satisfy the alternative

VOM

composite

partial

vapor pressure

limitation.

The Illinois

EPA

proposes

amending

subsection

(a)(5)

to specify that the storage

and disposal

requirements

for cleaning materials

apply except

when such

materials are

specifically

in use.

Section 218/219.408

Compliance

Schedule for

Lithographic

Printing

On

and After

March 15,

1996

The Illinois EPA

proposes

repealing

this

Section, as the pertinent

compliance

dates are set forth in Section

218/219.405.

Section 218/219.409

Testing for

Lithographic

Printing

On

and

After

March

15,

1996

The Illinois

EPA

proposes deleting

a reference

to the previous

compliance

date of

March 15,

1996,

in the title to this

Section.

Section 218/219.411

Recordkeeping and

Reporting

for

Lithographic

Printing

The

Illinois

EPA proposes

amending

this Section

by deleting

references

to the

previous

compliance

date

of March

15, 1996,

and clarifying

the requirements

that apply

27

---

to

sources

prior

to the

new compliance

date

and

those

that

apply on

and after

the

new

compliance

date.

The Illinois

EPA

also

proposes

inserting

into

this Section

the

equation

for

calculating

maximum

theoretic

emissions

of

VOM,

which

was previously

contained

in Section

218/219.406.

The

Illinois

EPA

proposes

adding

a

new

subsection

(b),

which

contains

recordkeeping

and

reporting

provisions

for

printing

lines

that

are exempt

on

and

after

May

1,

2010,

and

relettering

the

remaining

subsections

accordingly.

Subsection

(b)(

1)

governs

lithographic

printing

lines

exempt

pursuant

to

Section

218/219.405(c)(2).

Along

with

standard

recordkeeping

and

reporting

requirements,

the

Illinois

EPA

proposes

an

emission

adjustment

factor

to

be used

when

determining

VOM

emissions

from inks

used

on

lithographic

printing

line(s)

at the

source,

as

well as

an

emission

adjustment

factor to

be used

when

calculating

emissions

from

used

shop

towels

if the VOM

composite

vapor

pressure

of

each associated

cleaning

solution

is less

than 10

mniHg

measured

at 20°C

(68°F)

and

the shop

towels

are kept

in

closed

containers.

The

Illinois

EPA proposes

that,

as an

alternative

to

the

VOM emission

calculations

set forth

in subsection

(b)(1)(B),

a

source

may

determine

that

it emits

below

6.8

kg/day

(15

lbs/day)

of

VOM

if it complies

with

material

use limitations

during

each

calendar

month.

The

Illinois

EPA

proposes

that

the material

use

alternative

only

be

available

to

sources

with

only

one type

of lithographic

printing

operation

(e.g., a

source

with

only

heatset

web

offset

lithographic

printing

operations).

If

a

source

exceeds

the

material

use

limitation

in

any

given

month,

the

source

shall

complete

emissions

calculations

pursuant

to

subsection

(b)(1)(B)

within

15

days

of

the

end of

that month.

If

28

---

a source

exceeds

the

material

use

limitations

for

six

consecutive

months,

the

source

is no

longer

eligible

for

the

material

use alternative.

Subsection

(b)(2)

governs

heatset

web

offset

lithographic

printing

lines

exempt

pursuant

to

Section

218!219.405(c)(1)

but

not

exempt

pursuant

to Section

218/21

9.405(c)(2).

Along

with

standard

recordkeeping

and

reporting

requirements,

the

Illinois

EPA

proposes

an emission

adjustment

factor

to be

used

when

determining

VOM

emissions

from

inks

used

on lithographic

printing

line(s)

at

the

source,

and

an

emission

adjustment

factor

to

be

used

when

calculating

emissions

from

used

shop

towels

if

the

VOM

composite

vapor

pressure

of

each

associated

cleaning

solution

is

less

than

10

mmHg

measured

at

20°C

(68°F)

and

the

shop

towels

are

kept

in

closed

containers.

The Illinois

EPA

proposes

amending

subsection

(c)

to

provide

that

the

recordkeeping

requirements

in subsections

(c)(

1)

or

(c)(2)

do

not

apply

tc sources

utilizing

the

material

use limitation

alternative.

The

Illinois

EPA

also

proposes

deleting

subsection

(c)(3).

The

Illinois

EPA

proposes

amending

subsection

(d)

to

provide

that

sources

complying

with

the

add-on

control

device

requirement

shall

include

in

their

initial

certification

to

the Illinois

EPA

the

date that

the device

was

first

constructed

at

the

subject

source.

The

Illinois

EPA

also

proposes

amending

subsection

(d) to

change

the

frequency that

owners

or

operators

of heatset

web

offset

lithographic

printing

lines

complying with

the

add-on

control device

requirements

are

required

to

check

the air

flow

direction

or

air pressure

of the

dryer

and

press

room

from

once

a

day

to

once

per calendar

month.

The

Illinois EPA

proposes

amending

subsection

(e)(1)(C)

to provide

that a source

subject

will

comply with

the VOM

content

limitations

in Section

21

8/219.407(a)(1)(A),

(a)(2),

or (a)(3),

as

applicable.

The

Illinois

EPA

proposes

amending

subsection

(e)(2)(C)

to provide

that

the

weight

of

each

used in a fountain

solution

batch

shall be recorded

by

sources, if

applicable.

The

Illinois

EPA

also proposes

deleting

subsection

(e)(4).

The

Illinois EPA

proposes

amending

subsection

(f)(1)

to

specify that

lithographic

printing

line

cleaning operations

that are

excluded

pursuant

to

Section

218/21 9.405(c)(3)(C)

are not

required to

submit

a certification

pursuant

to

subsection

(f).

The Illinois

EPA also

proposes

deleting

subsections

(f)(1)(A),

(f)(1)(C),

and

(f)(4),

and

amending

the

relettered

subsection

(f)( 1 )(A)

to provide

that a

source

subject

to

the

cleaning

requirements

in

Section 218/219.407

shall

include

in its

initial

certification

a

statement

that

the cleaning

solution

will

comply

with

the

limitations

in

Section

21

8/219.407(a)(4).

The Illinois

EPA

proposes adding

subsection

(g),

which

sets

forth

the

recordkeeping

and

reporting

requirements

for owners

or operators

of

lithographic

printing

line(s)

subject

to

one

or more

of

the

exclusions

set

forth

in Section

218/219.405(c)(3).

Such

owners

printing

line,

notify the

Agency if

the

printing

line

ever becomes

ineligible

for

the

exclusions

set forth

in Section

218/21

9.405(c)(3),

and, if changing

between

opting

out of such

exclusions

and utilization

30

---

of

the

exclusions,

submit

an

additional

certification,

informing

the

Illinois

EPA

of the

change.

The

Illinois

EPA

proposes

adding subsection

(i),

which

sets

forth

emission

adjustment

factors

that

may

be

used

when

calculating

VOM emissions

from
