Summariae the rule. 

271-8805 

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can interact with nitrogen oxides (NOx) to form ozone; reducing VOCs thus 

will, in turn, reduce ozone formation . The existing rules, Env-A 1204, are intended to control the emission of 

VOCs from certain processes by establishing Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements. 

Sources that are subject to the rules have the option of meeting specified emission limits, control techniques, 

and/or work practice standards, or of obtaining a RACT order containing equivalent conditions. Sources subject to 

the rules include coating and printing operations, Industrial cleaning solvent operations, fiberglass boat materials 

manufacturing operations, and miscellaneous industrial adhesive operations. 

All but two sections of the prior regular rules were extended by the adoption of interim rules, which are due to 

expire on June 29, 2011 . (Env-A 1204.43 and Env-A 1204.44 were adopted effective 2-26-05 .) All of the rules 

are now proposed to be adopted with amendments that are intended to (1) clarify the rules by restructuring them 

from PART Env-A 1204 to Chapter Env-A 1200; and (2) incorporate 9 control technique guidelines (CTGs) issued 

by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2006-2008, which include paper, fabric, film, and 

foil substrates coatings, metal furniture coating, miscellaneous metal parts and products coating, miscellaneous 

plastic parts and products coating, flat wood paneling coatings, retrogravure and flexographic printing, offset 

lithographic and letterpress printing, fiberglass boat manufacturing materials, miscellaneous industrial adhesives, 

and industrial cleaning solvents. 

Changes to existing requirements for the existing categories of paper-fabric-film-foil substrates coating, metal 

furniture coating, miscellaneous metal parts and products coating, miscellaneous plastic parts and products coating, 

and offset lithographic and letterpress printing, which are needed to reflect the federal CTGs include : 

- Adopting a new standard for flexible package printing, which will become a new subcategory in the existing 

rotogravure and flexographic printing category; 

- Changing the applicability threshold for these categories from the potential to emit 10 to 50 tons of VOCs per 

year to actual emissions of 3 tons of VOCs per year before controls; 

- Revising several of the emission limits to be more stringent ; and 
REQUEST FOR FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT (FIS) - Page 2 

- Incorporating additional work practice standards. 

Requirements being added to the rules to reflect the federal CTGs include emission limits, control technology standards, and work practice standards for the new categories of flat wood paneling, fiberglass boat manufacturing materials, and miscellaneous industrial adhesives . In addition, industrial cleaning solvent activities, which previously were unregulated under the industrial cleaning solvent category, will be covered by the proposed rules . 

(2) Is the cost associated with this rule mandated by the rule or by state statute? If the cost is mandated by statute, then the rule itself may not have a cost or benefit associated with it . Please state either the statute or chapter law that is instigating this rule. 

RSA 125-C:4, l(a) requires the Commissioner to adopt rules relative to, inter alia, the prevention, control, abatement, and limitation of air pollution from stationary sources . RSA 125-C:4, I(b) requires the Commissioner 

to adopt rules to establish primary and secondary ambient air quality standards. 42 U.S .C. 7410 requires each state 

to prepare a plan which provides for implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of each national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) in each air quality control region (or portion thereof) within the state . In the case where 

an area in the state has been designated a nonattainment area, i.e., an area where air quality does not meet a NAAQS, 42 U.S .C. 7502(c) requires that the plan 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, at a minimiun, the adoption of RACT, and must provide for attainment of the NAAQS. Four New Hampshire counties have been designated nonattainnient areas for ozone, which is formed in 

part by emissions of VOCs . In addition, 42 U .S .C. 7511 c establishes an ozone transport region that includes the 

entire state of New Hampshire. States included in this region are also required to adopt rules to control the 

formation of ozone. Thus, a rule regulating VOC emissions, such as Env-A 1200, is required by both state statute 

and federal mandate . The proposed rules are the Minimum necessary to meet the requirements specified in the 

state and federal laws . The costs are thus attributable to those requirements, not to the rules. 

The rules are being adopted pursuant to RSA 125-C:4, 1(a) and (b) to implement RSA 125-C:G, II and XVII, and J, 

42 U.S.C. 7410, 7502(c), and 7511c. 

(3) Compare the cost of the proposed rule with the cost of the existing rule, if there is an existing rule. 

Because any costs are attributable to the state and federal statutory requirements, there is no difference in costs 

between the existing rules and the proposed rules. 

(4) Describe the costs and benefits to the state general fund which would result from this rule. 

There will be no costs or benefits to the state general fund as a result of the proposed rules. 

(S) Explain and cite the federal mandate for the proposed rule, if there is such a mandate. Ilow would the mandate 

affect state funds? 

42 U.S .C. 7410 requires each state to prepare a plan which provides for implementation, maintenance, and 

enforcement of each national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) in each air quality control region (or portion 

thereof) within the state . In the case where an area in the state has been designated a nonattainment area, i.e., an 

area where air quality does not meet a NAAQS, 42 U .S .C. 7502(c) requires the plan to 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, at a minimum, the adoption 

of RACT, and must provide for attainments of the NAAQS . Four New Hampshire counties have been designated 

nonattainment areas for ozone, which is formed in part by emissions of VOC. In addition, 42 U .S .C. 7511c 

establishes an ozone transport region that includes the entire state of New Hampshire . States included in this 

region are also required to adopt rules to control the formation of ozone. Thus, a rule regulating VOC emissions, 

such as Env-A 1200, is required by federal mandate. If the state complies with these federal mandates, it is eligi ; 

to receive grant monies from the federal government pursuant to 42 U.S.C . 7405. New Hampshire received 

approximately $1 .7 million in federal money in fiscal year 2009 for all of the DES air programs, which is 

deposited to state special fund 0 10-044-9000 . Because the funds are received in a block grant, it is not possible to 
REQUEST FOR FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT (FIS) - Page 3 

estimate the portion attributable to the proposed rules. 

(6) Describe the cost and benefits to any state special fund i-vhich would result. 

There will be no direct benefits to state special fund 010-044-9000 as a resuit of the proposed rules . If the 

proposed rules are not adopted and the block grant described in #5 is reduced, the reduction would impact state 

special fund 010-044-9000 . 

(7) Describe the costs and benefits to the political subdivisions of the state. 

Because any costs are attributable to the state and federal statutory requirements, there will be no costs or direct 

financial benefits to political subdivisions of the state as a result of the proposed rules . 

(8) Describe the costs and benefits to the citizens of the state. 

Because any costs are attributable to the state and federal statutory requirements, there will be no costs or direct 

financial benefits to citizens of the state as a result of the proposed rules. The proposed rules will continue to 

benefit all citizens of the state through the reduction of VOC emissions . 

(9) Describe the costs and benefits to any independently owned business, including a description of the specific 

reporting and recordkeeping requirements upon those employing fewer than 10 employees . 

Because any costs are attributable to the state and federal statutory requirements, there will be no costs or direct 

financial benefits to independently owned businesses caused by these rules. 

The reporting and recordkeeping requirements in Env-A 900 are not being amended as a result of the changes to 

Env-A 1200 . However, because the rules are being updated to reflect federal requirements promulgated since the 

last readoption of the rules, the state rules will explicitly identify 5 source categories or subcategories that were not 

previously identified as being subject to those requirements .
