. 11

. Section 22a-174-33(f)(6) of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies is amended to read as follows: (6) [Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, the owner or operator ofa Title Vsource subject to 40 CFR72to 78, inclusive, which becomes subject to this section after January 1, 1998shall submit a Title Vapplication to the commissioner within the time provided by 40 CFR72.30 or within ninety (90) days of receipt of notice fromthe commissioner that such application is required, whichever is earlier.] Reserved

. Statement of purpose: This amendment serves the primary purpose of updating Connecticut's reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in response' to the U .S

. Environmental Protection Agency's issuance ofcontrol techniques guidelines (CTG) in 2006for offset lithographic and letterpress printing, industrial cleaning solvents and flexible package printing [71 FR 58745] and in 2007 for metal furniture coating, large appliance coating and paper, filmand foil coating [72 FR57215]

. The amendment also refines the requirements for metal cleaning; adds requirements specific to spray application equipment cleaning; and makes minor and technical revisions

. Specifically: " The existing requirements for metal furniture and paper, filmand foil coating operations in section 22a-174-20 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (RCSA) are enhanced throughthe adoption ofthe CTGrequirements, which include lowerVOC content requirements for coatings and work practices designed to reduce VOCemissions

. (Section 6) " New

requirements, consistent with the CTG, are added to RCSAsection 22a-174-20for five source categories (flexible package printing; offset lithographic printing; letterpress printing; large appliance coating; general solvent cleaning)

. The requirements include VOCcontent limits for coatings, inks and solvents; an alternative compliance route through the operation ofair pollution control equipment; and work practices to limit VOCemissions from

coating and solvent storage and handling

. (Section 9) " New requirements regulating the cleaning ofspray application equipmentto limit VOC emissions are added to RCSA section22a-174-20

. (Section 9) " The reactivity-based architectural coating requirements ofsubsections (g), (h) and (i) of RCSA section 22a-174-20are deleted, given the adoption in July 2007 of more comprehensive requirements in RCSAsection 22a-174-41

. (Sections 1, 3, 4) " The amendment also updates internal references, exemptions and applicability determinations of RC

SAsection 22a-174-20 with respect to additions made in the amendment; refines definitions; and updates the applicability determination of RCSA section 22a-174-32 given the adoption of the new requirements

. (Sections 2, 5, 7, 8, 10) The VOCreductions associated with the RACT update portion of this amendment will assist Connecticut to attain the federal 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards and serve as directionally correct measures with respect to Connecticut's compliance with the national fine particulate matter standards

. Section 11 ofthe amendment eliminates the reference to the federal Title Vapplication timelines for Acid Rain programsources fromRC SAsection 22a-174-33(f), as the federal timing requirements apply independently
