In regards to the ACA comments, we generally agree with their recommendation to add a provision for the manufacturing of coatings, inks, resin or adhesives. It is consistent with what Ohio is implementing and Region 5 as well as the OTCsupports this language, which is modeled after California's Bay Area Rule. However, there is already an exemption in NH's proposed Section 1221 .07(n), for "Cleaning of resin, coating, ink, and adhesive mixing, molding, and application equipment ." Is it your intention that this exemption apply to only the application of resins, coatings, inks, and adhesives? Or would the exemption apply to both the manufacturing and application of resins, coatings, inks, and adhesives? This needs to be clarified. David L.

Hi Bob, VOC RACT hearing tomorrow

We are having our VOC RACT rulemaking hearing tomorrow morning at 10, snow

or not! I noticed that your correction to the flat wood paneling standard didn't make it into the proposed rule. I changed it in one draft, but not, apparently, in the draft that Legal filed. However, that change WILL be made! I'mattaching the presentation I intend to make tomorrow, noting a few such changes. In addition, we've received comments fromthe American Coatings Association, also attached. The suggestion regarding the industrial cleaning solvents rule and its application to manufacturers of ink, coatings, and adhesives, seems to be taken fromthe Bay Area rule 8-4-117. Dave Darling of the ACA says that EPA Region V "has generally endorsed" this language. So, I wanted to check in with you and see what Region I thinks about it. We have 5-10 such manufacturers in NH. Thanks! Barbara L. Hoffman Compliance & Enforcement Programs Manager NH Dept . of Environmental Services, Air Resources Div. P.O .
