26.11.19 Volatile Organic Compounds from

Specific Processes

Authority: Environment Article, §§1-101, 1-404, 2-101—2-103, 2-301—2- 303, 10-102, and 10-103, Annotated Code of Maryland

Notice of Proposed Action
[11-031-P] The Secretary of the Environmen t proposes to amend Regulation .07 and adopt new Regulation .07-2 under COMAR 26.11.19 Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes

. Statement of Purpose The purpose of this action is to adopt the requirements of the EPA’s Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for miscellaneous metal and plastic parts coating. Existing standards for plastic parts and vinyl in COMAR 26.11.19.07 are being moved to COMAR 26.11.19.07-2. EPA develops CTGs as guidance on control requirements for source categories. States can follow the CTGs or adopt more restrictive standard s. MDE proposes to adopt new standards that will be set for business machines and plastic parts that are equivalent to the VOC content limits in the CTG. Application method and work practice requirements will also be adopted. These amendments affect coaters of business machines and plastic parts and products. This action will be submitted to the U.S. EPA for approval as a revision to Maryland’s State Implementation Plan.

Background EPA developed the CTG after reviewing the 1978 CTG, the 1988 NSPS for Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines (40 CFR 60 Subpart TTT), the 1994 ACT for Surface Coating of Automotive/Transportation and Business Machine Plastic Parts,
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products 40 CFR 63 Subpart MMMM, and existing State and local VOC emission reduction approaches. The 1994 ACT provide d analysis and options for alternative control technologies av ailable for VOC emissions from the surface coating of plastic parts in the automotive and other transportation equipment and busin ess machine industries without any recommendations for standards. The plastic parts and products category includes components that are used in fabricated metal products, small and large farm machinery, commercial and industrial machinery and equipment, automotive or transportation equipment, interior or exterior automotive parts, construction equipment, motor vehicle accessories, bicycles a nd sporting goods, toys, recreational vehicles, pleasure craft (recreati onal boats), extruded aluminum components, railroad cars, heavie r vehicles, lawn and garden equipment, business machines, la boratory and medical equipment, electronic equipment, and other industrial and household products. The plastic parts and products and business machines coating categories do not include coatings th at are a part of other product categories listed under Section 183(e) of the Act for which CTGs have been published or included in other CTGs. California has implemented sta ndards for plastic parts and products and business machines for several categories of coatings. The standards have undergone revisions based on reviews of industry practices and capabilities and have b een reviewed by EPA as part of the basis for establishing the CTG. Several different type s of application technologies are used to apply liquid coatings, a nd the selection of the application technology can have a significant effect on the amount of coating used and the resulting VOC emissions from the operation. The CTG requires that coatings can only be applied by coating applicators such as: air atomized spray coating, electrosta tic spray coating, high volume/low pressure (HVLP) spray coating, dip coating, flow coating, roll coating, electrocoating, and autophor etic coating. Powder coatings can be applied through electro static spraying or dipping. Cleaning activities other than surface preparation also occur at plastic parts and business machines and components coating facilities. Additional requirements for cleaning materials and
activities are covered under CO MAR 26.11.19.02(I). Cleaning materials are used during these activit ies to remove coating residue or
other unwanted materials from e quipment related to coating operat ions, as well as the cleaning of spray guns, transfer lines (e.g., tubing or piping), tanks, and the interior of spray booths. These cleaning materials are typi cally mixtures of VOC containing solvents.

Affected Sources These proposed amendmen ts affect coaters of plastic parts and products used in farm machinery, industrial machinery, automotive or transportation equipment, structural components, laboratory, medical and electronic equipment, motor vehicle accessories, bicycles andPROPOSED ACTION ON REGULATIONS

Regulation Amendment COMAR 26.11.19.07-2 is proposed to set VOC coating standards for a variety of plastic parts co ating and business machine coating applications and includes plastic parts and vinyl coating standards and printing standards from the existing COMAR 26.11.19.07. Application methods for co atings are limited to: (1) Electrostatic application; (2) HVLP spray; (3) Flow coat; (4) Roller coat; (5) Dip coat including electrodeposition; (6) Brush coat; or (7) A coating application method capable of achieving a transfer efficiency equivalent to or better than the efficiency achieved by HVLP spraying.

Impact on Ambient Air Quality The proposed amendments set sta ndards for coatings, application methods and work practices. Emi ssions of VOCs from plastic parts and products and business machines coating are expected to be reduced by 35 percent nationally, with a reduction of 7,738 tpy of
VOC from the nonattainment area fa cilities that are above the recommended 15 lb/day threshold). This reduction will be much less in Maryland as MDE has already had regulations in place which have reduced VOC emissions from plastic parts coating. The maximum benefit will be provided during the ozone season when VOCs readily combine with NOx to from the pollutant ground level ozone.

Comparison to Federal Standards There is a corresponding federal standard to this proposed action, but the proposed action is not mo re restrictive or stringent.

Estimate of Economic Impact I. Summary of Economic Impact. The economic impact of implementing CTG requirements ha s been estimated by EPA on a
national level. Cost effectivene ss is approximately $1,800/ton of
VOC controlled. This action will have minimal to no economic impact on affected Maryland sources. The impact on the Department is going to be minimal as affected sources are already regulated. The Department will need to review additional records and ensure new standards are being met.

D. The impact on the regulated industry has been estimated by EPA to be in the range of $1,800/ton VOC for compliance with the requirements of the CTG.
E. There will be a positive impact on companies that manufacture or sell the compliant coatings and materials.
F. This action will help improve Maryland’s air quality and will result in fewer negative health ef fects on the general public from air pollution.

businesses.

Notice of Proposed Action
[11-026-P] The Secretary of the Environmen t proposes to amend Regulation
.13 under COMAR 26.11.19 Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes

. Statement of Purpose The purpose of this action is to adopt the requirements of the EPA’s Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for metal parts and products. EPA develops CTGs as guidance on control requirements for source categories. States can follow the CTGs or adopt more restrictive standards. MDE proposes to adopt new standards that will be set for drum and pail coati ng. Application method and work practice requirements will also be adopted. These amendments affect coaters of drums and pails.
This action will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval as part of Maryland’s State Implementation Plan.

Background EPA developed the CTG after reviewing the 1978 CTG, the 1988 NSPS for Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines (40 CFR 60 Subpart TTT), the 1994 ACT for Surface Coating of Automotive/Transportation and Business Machine Plastic Parts,
