# REGULATION

OF NAME OF AGENCY Environmental Protection Statement of purpose: This amendment serves the primary purpose of updating Connecticut's reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in response to the U .S
. Environmental Protection Agency's issuance ofcontrol techniques guidelines (CTG) in 2006 for offset lithographic and letterpress printing, industrial cleaning solvents and flexible package printing [71 FR 58745] and in 2007 for metal furniture coating, large appliance coating and paper, filmand foil coating [72 FR 57215]
. The amendment also refines the requirements for metal cleaning; adds requirements specific to spray application equipment cleaning; and makes minor and technical revisions
. 

### Specifically: " The existing requirements for metal furniture and paper, filmand foil coating operations in section 22a-174-20 ofthe Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (RCSA) are enhanced through the adoption ofthe CTGrequirements, which include lower VOC content requirements for coatings and work practices designed to reduce VOCemissions
. (Section 4) " New requirements, consistent with the CTG, are added to RCSA section 22a-174-20 for five source categories (flexible package printing; offset lithographic printing; letterpress printing; large appliance coating; general solvent cleaning)

. The requirements include VOCcontent limits for coatings, inks and solvents; an alternative compliance route throughthe operation ofair pollution control equipment; and work practices to limit VOCemissions fromcoating and solvent storage and handling
. (Section 7) " New requirements regulating the cleaning of spray application equipment to limit VOC emissions are added to RCSA section 22a-174-20
. (Section 7) " The reactivity-based architectural coating requirements ofsubsection (g) of RCSA section 22a-174-20 are deleted, given the adoption in July 2007 of more comprehensive requirements in RCSA section 22a-174-41
. (Section 2) 

### " The amendment also updates internal references, exemptions and applicability determinations of RCSAsection 22a-174-20 with respect to additions made inthe amendment ; refines definitions; and updates the applicability determination of RCSA section 22a-174-32 given the adoption ofthe new requirements
. (Sections 1, 3, 5, 6, 8) The VOCreductions associated with the RACT update portion ofthis amendment will assist Connecticut to attainthe federal 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards and serve as directionally correct measures with respect to Connecticut's compliance with the national fine particulate matter standards
. Section 9 of the amendment eliminates the reference to the federal Title Vapplication timelines for Acid Rain program sources fromRCSA section 22a-174-33(f), as the federal timing requirements apply independently
