DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

Notice of Intent to Amend the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies and to 

Revise the State Implementation Plan for Air Quality 

The Commissioner of Environmental Protection hereby gives notice of a public 

hearing to amend the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (RCSA), primarily' 

to establish new or enhance existing reasonably available control technology (RACT) 

requirements for certain categories of equipment and activities. Once adopted, the 

amended regulations will be submitted to the U.S . Environmental Protection Agency 

for review and approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan for air quality. 

EPA's control techniques guidelines (CTG), issued 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, film and foil coating [72 FR 57215], are the basis for the RACT update portions 

of this proposal. The associated volatile organic compound (VOC) reductions will 

assist Connecticut to attain the federal 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality 

standards and serve as directionally correct emissions reductions with respect to 

Connecticut's compliance with the national fine particulate matter standards. 

The specific revisions proposed to RCSA section 22a-174-20 are as follows: 

" The existing requirements for metal furniture and paper, film and foil coating 

operations are enhanced through the adoption of the CTG requirements, which 

include lower VOC content requirements for coatings and work practices designed 

to reduce VOC emissions. 

" New requirements consistent with the CTG are added for five source categories 

(flexible package printing ; offset lithographic printing ; letterpress printing ; large 

appliance coating; general solvent cleaning). 

" New requirements to limit VOC emissions from spray application equipment 

cleaning are added. 

" The reactivity-based architectural coating requirements of subsections (g), (h) 

and (i) are deleted, given the adoption of more comprehensive requirements in 

RCSA section 22a-174-41 in July 2007. 

" Internal references, exemptions, definitions and applicability determinations are 

revised to reflect the additions and deletions.

The applicability determination of RCSA section 22a-174-32 is also revised, 

given the adoption of requirements in RCSA section 22a-174-20 for new source 

categories, and the reference to the federal Title V application timelines for Acid 

Rain program sources is eliminated from RCSA section 22a-174-33(f). 

All interested persons are invited to submit comment to the Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Air Management, Engineering & Enforcement Division, 79 Elm Street, Hartford, Connecticut 06106-5127 . All comments should be 

directed to the attention of Merrily A. Gere and must be received by 5:00 PM on
