SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 4, 2011, the Pennsylvania 

Department of Environmental Protection 

(PADEP) submitted to EPA a SIP 

revision concerning the adoption of the 

CTG for paper, film, and foil surface 

coating processes. 

I. Background 

Section 172(c)(1) of the CAA provides 

that SIPs for nonattainment areas must 

include reasonably available control 

measures (RACM), including RACT for 

sources of emissions. Section 

182(b)(2)(A) provides that for certain 

nonattainment areas, states must revise 

their SIPs to include RACT for sources 

of volatile organic compounds (VOC) 

emissions covered by a CTG document 

issued after November 15, 1990 and 

prior to the area’s date of attainment. 

CTGs are intended to provide state 

and local air pollution control 

authorities information that should 

assist them in determining RACT for 

VOCs from various sources, including 

paper, film, and foil coatings. In 

developing these CTGs, EPA, among 

other things, evaluated the sources of 

VOC emissions from this industry and 

the available control approaches for 

addressing these emissions, including 

the costs of such approaches. Based on 

available information and data, EPA 

provided recommendations for RACT 

for VOCs from paper, film, and foil 

coatings. 

In December 1977, EPA published a 

CTG for surface coating of paper (EPA– 

450/2–77–008). This CTG discusses the 

nature of VOC emissions from this 

industry, available control technologies 

for addressing such emissions, the costs 

of available control options, and other 

items. EPA promulgated national 

standards of performance for new 

stationary sources (NSPS) for the paper, 

foil, and film industry and EPA also 

published a national emission standard 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with PROPOSALS

11984 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 43 / Friday, March 4, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) 

for this industry. 

In 2006 and 2007, after conducting a 

review of currently existing state and 

local VOC emission reduction 

approaches for the paper, foil, and film 

industry, reviewing the 1977/1978 CTG 

and the NESHAP for this industry, and 

taking into account the information that 

has become available since then, EPA 

developed a new CTG surface coating 

for paper, entitled Control Techniques 

Guidelines for Paper, Film, and Foil 

Coatings (Publication No. EPA 453/R– 

07–003; September 2007). 

The paper, film, and foil product 

category includes coatings that are 

applied to paper, film, or foil surfaces in 

the manufacturing of several major 

product types for the following industry 

sectors: Pressure sensitive tape and 

labels; photographic film; industrial and 

decorative laminates; abrasive products; 

and flexible packaging. The category 

also includes coatings applied during 

miscellaneous coating operations for 

several products including: Corrugated 

and solid fiber boxes; die-cut paper 

paperboard and cardboard; converted 

paper and paperboard not elsewhere 

classified; folding paperboard boxes, 

including sanitary boxes; manifold 

business forms and related products; 

plastic asceptic packaging; and carbon 

paper and inked ribbons. VOC 

emissions from paper, film, or foil 

surface coating processes result from the 

evaporation of the components of the 

coatings and cleaning materials. 

II. Summary of SIP Revision 

On January 4, 2011, PADEP submitted 

to EPA a SIP revision concerning the 

adoption of the EPA paper, film, and 

foil surface coating processes. EPA 

develops CTGs as guidance on control 

requirements for source categories. 

States can follow the CTGs or adopt 

more restrictive standards. Pennsylvania 

has adopted EPA’s CTG standards for 

paper, film, and foil surface coating 

processes. These regulations are in 

Chapter 121—General Provisions, and 

in Chapter 129—Standards for Sources, 

in Title 25 of the Pennsylvania Code. 

Specifically, this revision amends the 

existing regulations at sections 121.1, 

129.51 and 129.52 and adds new section 

129.52b. Several definitions were 

amended or added in section 121.1 and 

section 129.52 was amended to extend 

coverage to paper, film, and foil surface 

coating processes. New section 129.52b 

includes VOC emission limits, work 

practices, and recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements, all of which are 

consistent with EPA’s CTG for paper, 

film, and foil surface coating processes. 

The requirements in section 129.52b 

supersede the requirements in 129.52 

relating to control of VOC emissions 

from paper, film, and foil surface 

coating processes. The emission limits 

of VOCs for paper, film, and foil surface 

coatings are shown in Table 1. These 

emission limits apply if potential VOC 

emissions from a single line, prior to 

control, are 25 tons per year (tpy) or 

more.

Additionally, VOC emission limits for 

paper coatings only and the associated 

applicability criteria that were in 

section 129.52(a)(2) were added to 

section 129.52(b) in order to carry 

forward previously regulated paper 

coating sources and to eliminate the 

potential for backsliding. These VOC 

emission limits apply only to paper 

coatings if actual VOC emissions have 

exceeded 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds 

per day or 2.7 tpy in any year since 

January 1, 1987. The emission limits are 

shown in Table 2.

III. Proposed Action 

EPA is proposing to approve the 

Pennsylvania’s SIP revision for adoption 

of the CTG standards for paper, film, 

and foil surface coating processes. EPA 

is soliciting public comments on the 

issues discussed in this document. 

These comments will be considered 

before taking final action. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely proposes to approve state law as 

meeting Federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this proposed action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 43 / Friday, March 4, 2011 / Proposed Rules 11985 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this proposed rule 

concerning Pennsylvania’s adoption of a 

CTG for paper, film, and foil surface 

coating processes does not have tribal 

implications as specified by Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000), because the SIP is not approved 

to apply in Indian country located in the 

state, and EPA notes that it will not 

impose substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law.
