Dear Mr. Garvin:

Enclosed for your approval is a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan (SIP) pertaining to the adoption by Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) in June 2013 of

Control Techniques Guidelines (CTGs) promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2008 for Offset Lithographic Printing and Letterpress Printing; Flexible Packaging Printing; and Industrial Solvent Cleaning Operations. The CTGs constitute Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for the covered processes. The revision is
identified as revision No. 68 to the Maintenance Plan for ACHD's internal tracking.

The ACHD is a local health agency organized under Local Health Administration Law, Act 315

of August 24, 1951, P.L. 1304, as amended, whose powers and duties include the enforcement of
laws relating to public health within Allegheny County. The ACHD has an air pollution control

program that has been approved by the Department of Environmental Protection in accordance

with Section 12 of the Air Pollution Control Act.

I have enclosed a hard copy and a compact disc of the supplemental SIP submittal materials

which consist of the supplemental SIP submittal documents, documentation of public hearing
and comment period, and the comment and response document. I certify that the electronic files

are exact duplicates of the hard copies.

The Commonwealth followed all of the procedural requirements of the State's laws and
constitution in conducting and completing the adoption/issuance of the SIP revision.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you have any questions concerning this SIP revision, please contact Joyce E. Epps, Director of Air Quality, by e-mail at jeepps@pa.gov or by telephone at 717.787.9702. You may also contact James E.

Summary of Change

The changes to these sections of Article XXI add three Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) categories as three regulations. Changes were also made to an existing regulation, adding subsection f. Exempt Other.

§2105.11, Graphic Arts Systems (SIP Change); §2105.80 Control of VOC Emissions from Offset Lithographic Printing and Letterpress Printing (SIP Change); §2105.81 Control of VOC Emissions from Flexible Package Printing (SIP Change); §2105.82 Control of VOC Emissions from Industrial Solvent Cleaning Operations (SIP Change)

The CTG categories for Offset Lithographic Printing and Letterpress Printing, Flexible Package Printing, and Industrial Cleaning Solvents were issued by the EPA in 2006. The EPA has mandated that these CTGs become regulations, written by Local or State Air Pollution Control Agencies.

The regulation changes to section §2105.11 , and the addition of regulations §2105.80

, §2105.81

and §2105.82 to Article XXI constitute a change to the Allegheny County portion of the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the control of ozone with respect to those

sections.

DateComment and Response Document for the Proposed SIP Revision 68 Regulation Changes for Ozone Control Techniques Guidelines August 20, 2010 Public Hearing

1. Comment: The strike-out of the existing Graphic Arts (GA) system regulation at 2105.11, would cause an existing facility that has publication rotogravure presses, along with other surface coating processes that have a potential to emit greater than or equal to 100 tpy would no longer be regulated because they are not covered by the new flexible package printing regulation, because their product is not flexible packages, it's magazines, or books, or etc.

Commenter : Deborah Wehr, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection

Response : So there is no applicability gap, ACHD will not strike-out the existing Graphic Arts Systems regulation, §2105.11. ACHD will add a clause to §2105.11 Graphic Arts Systems, under new subsection f. Exempt Other. This clause will state that any owner or operator of a flexible package printing press subject to §2105.81 Control of VOC Emissions from Flexible Package Printing, is no longer subject to §2105.11 Graphic Arts Systems, and shall be subject to all subparagraphs of regulation §2105.81 Control of VOC Emissions from Flexible Package Printing as of January 1, 2012.

2. Comment: ACHD needs to change the Applicability Dates of the CTGs to coincide

with the PADEP.

Commenter : ACHD

Response: The Applicability Dates were changed from April 1, 2011 to January 1,

2012 to coincide with the PADEP.
