Dear Mr. Paylor: 

MAR 3 1 2016 

On February 1, 2016, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received three 

revisions to the Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP) from the Virginia Department of 

Environmental Quality (V ADEQ). The V ADEQ Revision C09 amends Article 53 (Emission 

Standards for Lithographic Printing Processes) and adds Article 56 (Emission Standards for 

Letterpress Printing Operations) and Article 56.1 (Emission Standards for Offset Lithographic 

Printing Operations) to 9V AC5 Chapter 40. The V ADEQ Revision D09 adds Article 57 

(Emission Standards for Industrial Solvent Cleaning Operations) and Article 58 (Emission 

Standards for Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesive Application Processes) to 9VAC5 Chapter 40. 

Lastly, the VADEQ Revision E09 amends 9VAC5 Chapter 20, General Provisions, amends 

Article 34 (Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products) in 9VAC5 Chapter 40 and adds Article 59 

(Emission Standards for Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products Coating Application Systems) 

to 9V AC5 Chapter 40. EPA has determined that the three submittals are administratively and 

technically complete and is reviewing them to prepare a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking action. 

If members of your staffhave any questions, they may direct them to Leslie Jones Doherty, 

at (215) 814-3409, or at jones.leslie@epa . .gov. She is the principal contact for this rulemaking.
