**ACTION :**  Proposed rule.

**SUMMARY :**  EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania). This SIP revision includes amendments to Chapter 121— General Provisions and Chapter 129— Standards for Sources of Title 25 of the Pennsylvania Code. Pennsylvania’s SIP revision meets the requirement to adopt Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for sources covered by EPA’s Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) standards for paper, film, and foil surface coating processes, and will help Pennsylvania attain and maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA).

**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


### 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


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

• 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.
