## Request for Coverage U nder the General Air Quality Permit for New or Modified

True Minor Source Graphic Arts and Printing Operations in Indian Country

Last Modified: July 2 , 2014

Version 1. 0

This request for coverage under the General Air Quality Permit f or New or Modified True Minor Source Graphic Arts and

Printing Operations applies to the construction of new, true minor source graphic arts and printing operations or the

modification of existing, true minor source graphic arts and printing operations in Indian Country that emit less than 75

tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC) annually in ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) attainment,

unclassif iable, or attainment /unclassifiable areas , and emit less than 50/25/15/7 tons of VOC annually in marginal or

moderate /se rious/severe/extreme ozone NAAQS nonattainment areas, respectively. A graphic arts and printing

operation is any facility which uses off set lithographic, letterpress, rotogravure, and flexographic methods to apply ink

and other coatings to paper, cardboard, metal, and other surfaces by means of a printing press.

You qualify to apply for coverage under this general permit if you meet all of the following criteria:

 You plan to construct a new

, true minor source graphic arts and printing operation

, OR you plan to modify an

existing, true minor source graphic arts and printing operation ;

 Your new or modified true minor source graphic arts and printing operation is located within Indian Country;

 Your facility has a potential to emit (PTE) less than the New Source Review (NSR) major source thresholds;

 Your facility has a PTE less than the major source thresholds for hazardous air pollutants;

 Ar e located in an attainment, unclassifiable, or attainment /unclassifiable area for ozone and, after the proposed

construction or modification project, your facility’s VOC emissions from the combination of all graphic arts and

printing operations is projecte d to be less than 75 tons in an y continuous rolling 12

- month period ; or

 Are located in a marginal or moderate nonattainment area for ozone and, after the proposed construction or

modification project, your facility’s VOC emissions from the combination of all graphic arts and printing

operations is projected to be less than 50 tons in any continuous rolling 12

- month period ; or

 Are located in a serious ozone nonattainment area and, after the proposed construction or modification project,

your facility’s VOC emissions from the combination of all graphic arts and printing operations is projected to be

less than 25 tons in any continuous rolling 12

- month period ; or

 Are located in a severe ozone nonattainment area and, after the proposed construction or modificat ion project,

your facility’s VOC emissions from the combination of all graphic arts and printing operations is projected to be

less than 15 tons in any continuous rolling 12

- month period ; or

 Are located in an extreme ozone nonattainment area and, after the proposed construction or modification

project, your facility’s VOC emissions from the combination of all graphic arts and printing operations is

projected to be less than 7 tons in any continuous rolling 12
