# Subtitle 11 AIR QUALITY Notice of Proposed Action

[11

- 348

- P] The Secretary of the Environment proposes to amend: (1) Regulation .04 under COMAR 26.11.01 Gener al Administrative Provisions ; and (2) Regulation .02 under COMAR 26.11.19 Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes
.

Statement of Purpose The purpose of this action is to: (1 ) Establish methods, procedures, and requirements for the alternative testing of control devices under COMAR 26.11.19.02D; (2) Establish the method required to determine composite vapor pressure of solvent cleaning material under COMAR 26.11.19.02E; (3) Es tablish requirements for the handling of solvents and cleaning materials under COMAR 26.11.19.02I; (4) Update COMAR 26.11.19.02G(1) to include references to specific VOC Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) regulations that had not been adopted a t the time this generic RACT regulation was adopted; and (5) Update COMAR 26.11.01.04 as needed because the test methods are referenced under COMAR 26.11.19.02. Submission to EPA as Revision to Maryland ‘ s SIP (or 111(d) Plan, or Title V Program) This ac tion will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval as part of Maryland ‘ s State Implementation Plan. Background

— COMAR 26.11.19.02D, E, and I Amendments The methods, procedures, and work practice standards have been establishe d by the U.S. EPA as part of the Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for: 1. Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings; 2. Industrial Cleaning Solvents; 3. Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings; 4. Large Appliance Coatings; 5. Offset Lithographic Printing an d Letterpress Printing; 6. Flat Wood Paneling Coatings; and 7. Flexible Package Printing. EPA develops CTGs as guidance on control requirements for specific source categories. States can either follow the CTGs or adopt more restrictive standards. MDE prop oses to adopt the methods,PROPOSED ACTION ON REGULATIONS 1649

MARYLAND REGISTER, VOLUME 38, ISSUE 25, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2011 procedures, and work practice standards for different categories as they are established in the EPA CTGs. The amendments affect all sources and processes covered by the chapter. EPA finalized CTGs for seven industrial categories : 1. Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings; 2. Industrial Cleaning Solvents; 3. Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings; 4. Large Appliance Coatings; 5. Offset Lithographic Printing and Letterpress Printing; 6. Flat Wood Paneling Coatings; and 7. Flexible Package Printing. Requirements for the testing alternatives of control devices, determination of composite vapor pressure of solvents, mass and weight of VOC; and work practice standards for cleaning materials are included in the CTGs for these categories. The regulation amendments place the new additional CTG general requirements along with other testing, work practice, and record

- keeping requirements in COMAR 26.11.19.02 so that they are applicable to the sources that are affected by the regulations in th e entire chapter. Background

— COMAR 26.11.10.02G(1) Amendment COMAR 26.11.19.02G, Maryland ‘ s generic RACT regulation, became effective in March 1991. The regulation established a procedure to determine RACT for sources that have VOC emissions greater t han 100 tons per year, and applies to those that do not have a specific VOC RACT regulation. At that time, specific VOC source regulations were adopted up to and including COMAR 26.11.19.15 Paint, Resin, and Adhesive Manufacturing and Adhesive Application. This amendment updates the reference to specific VOC Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) regulations adopted since 1991. Sources Affected and Location The proposed amendments to COMAR 26.11.19.02(D), (E), and (I) apply to sources covered by t he CTG categories and other regulations and processes involving testing, cleaning solutions, solvents, or degreasing materials covered under COMAR 26.11.19. The proposed amendments to COMAR 26.11.19.02(G) affect major stationary sources of VOCs. Requirem ents The proposed amendments to COMAR 26.11.19.02(D), (E), and (I) provide requirements to: (1) Perform alternative tests for control devices; (2) Determine composite vapor pressure of solvents; (3) Determine ratio of mass of VOC to mass of solids; (4) D etermine weight of VOC to weight of solids; and (5) Implement work practice standards for cleaning materials. The proposed amendments to COMAR 26.11.19.02(G) will not add any additional requirements for existing or new sources. It merely clarifies this re gulation to reference to all appropriate regulations. Expected Emissions Reductions Minimal VOC emissions will be reduced as Maryland already has existing testing, work practice, and record

- keeping requirements in COMAR 26.11.19.02. The proposed amendmen ts make the requirements more consistent with what is required under the CTGs for alternative test methods, calculation methods, and work practice standards. Comparison to Federal Standards There is a corresponding federal standard to this proposed action , but the proposed action is not more restrictive or stringent.

Estimate of Economic Impact The proposed action has no economic impact. Economic Impact on Small Businesses The proposed action has minimal or no economic impact on small businesses. Impact o n Individuals with Disabilities The proposed action has no impact on individuals with disabilities.

Opportunity for Public Comment The Department of the Environment will hold a public hearing on the proposed action on January 11, 2012 at 10 a.m. at the Dep artment of the Environment, 1800 Washington Boulevard, 1st Floor Conference Rooms, Baltimore, Maryland 21230

# Amendments to COMAR 26 .11.01.04 Testing and Monitoring and COMAR 26.11.19.02 Control of Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes

Purpose of Amendments The primary purpose of the amendments is to: (1) establish methods, procedures and requirements for the alterna tive testing of control devices under COMAR 26.11.19.02D; (2) establish the method required to determine composite vapor pressure of solvent cleaning material under COMAR 26.11.19.02E; (3) establish requirements for the handling of solvents and cleaning materials under COMAR 26.11.19.02I; (4) update COMAR 26.11.19.02G(1) to include re ferences to specific VOC Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) regulations that had not been adopted at the time this generic RACT regulation was adopted; and (5) update COMAR 26.11.01.04 as needed because the test methods are referenced under COMAR 26.11.19.02. Background - COMAR 26.11.19.02D, E, and I Amendments The methods, procedures and work practice standa rds have been established by the U.S. EPA as part of the Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for: 1. Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings; 2. Industrial Cleaning Solvents; 3. Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings; 4. Large Appliance Coatings; 5. Offset Lithographic Pr inting and Letterpress Printing; 6. Flat Wood Paneling Coatings; and 7. Fl exible Package Printing. EPA develops CTGs as guidance on control requir ements for specific source categories. States can either follow the CTGs or adopt more rest rictive standards. MDE proposes to adopt the methods, procedures and work pract ice standards for different cate gories as they are established in the EPA CTGs. The amendments affect all so urces and processes covered by the chapter. EPA finalized CTGs for seven industrial cate gories: 1. Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings; 2. Industrial Cleaning Solvents; 3. Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings; 4. Large Appliance Coatings; 5. Offset Lithographic Pr inting and Letterpress Printing; 6. Flat Wood Paneling Coatings; and 7. Flexible Package Printi ng. Requirements for the te sting alternatives of control devices, determination of composite vapo r pressure of solvents, mass and weight of

## VOC; and work practice standard s for cleaning materials are included in the CTGs for these categories. The regulation amendments place th e new additional CTG general requirements along with other testing, work practice, and recordkeepi ng requirements in COMAR 26.11.19.02 so that they are applicable to the sources that are affected by the regulations in the entire chapter. Background - COMAR 26.11.10.02G(1) Amendment COMAR 26.11.19.02G, Maryland's generic RACT re gulation, became effective in March, 1991. The regulation established a procedure to determ ine RACT for sources that have VOC emissions greater than 100 tons per year, and applies to those that do no t have a specific VOC RACT regulation. At that time, specific VOC source re gulations were adopted up to and including COMAR 26.11.19.15 Paint, Resin, and Adhesive Manuf acturing and Adhesive Application. This amendment updates the reference to specific VOC Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) regulations adopted since 1991. Affected Sources The proposed amendments to COMAR 26.11.19.02(D), (E), and (I) apply to sources covered by the CTG categories and other re gulations and processes involvi ng testing, cleaning solutions, solvents or degreasing materials covered under COMAR 26.11.19. The proposed amendments to COMAR 26.11.19.02(G) a ffect major stationary sources of VOCs. Requirements The proposed amendments to COMAR 26.11.19.02(D), (E), and (I) provide requirements to: (1) Perform alternative te sts for control devices; (2) Determine composite vapor pressure of solvents; (3) Determine ratio of mass of VOC to mass of solids; (4) Determine weight of VOC to weight of solids; and (5) Implement work practice standards for cleaning materials. The proposed amendments to COMAR 26.11.19.02(G) will not add any a dditional requirements for existing or new sources. It merely clarifies th is regulation to reference to all appropriate regulations. Expected Emissions Reductions Minimal VOC emissions will be re duced as Maryland already has existing testing, work practice, and recordkeeping requirements in COMAR 26.11.19.02. The proposed amendments make the requirements more consistent with what is requi red under the CTGs for alternative test methods, calculation methods, and work practice standards. Comparison to Federal Standards This action is not more restrictive or stri ngent than the corresponding federal standards.

## 3 Economic Impact on Affected Sources There will be no economic impact due to these am endments as sources already meet the testing requirements and utilize the methods and implem ent work practices that are required by the amendments. There will be no additional imp act on the Department as a result of these amendments. Economic Impact on Small Businesses There will be no economic impact on small bus inesses as a result of these amendments. Submission to EPA as Revision to Maryland' s SIP (or 111(d) Plan, or Title V Program) This action will be submitted to EPA as a revision to Maryland’s SIP.
