I. Background and Purpose 

On December 14, 2022, the New 

Hampshire Air Resources Division 

(ARD) submitted a revision to its State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). The revision 

consists of an order establishing 

reasonably available control technology 

(RACT) requirements for PAK Solutions, 

LLC, located in Lancaster, New 

Hampshire. The RACT requirements are 

intended to limit emissions of volatile 

organic chemicals (VOCs) from the 

facility. 

PAK Solutions, LLC (PAK) conducts 

commercial printing operations on a 

variety of plastic and film substrates 

with VOCs and solvent-containing inks. 

PAK owns and operates three printing 

presses that coat a variety of plastic and 

film substrates at its facility located on 

16 Page Hill Road in Lancaster, New 

Hampshire. PAK operates a Ship & 

Shore Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer 

(RTO) to control VOC emissions from 

three printing presses. On August 24, 

2022, PAK submitted an application for 

a RACT Order (Order) that would allow 

the company to generate and use 

Discrete Emissions Reductions (DERs) 

in order to comply with the VOC 

reduction requirements during periods 

when the RTO is shut down due to 

maintenance or malfunction. 

RACT Order RO–0007 issued on 

December 14, 2022, by the New 

Hampshire DES requires PAK Solutions 

to comply with the VOC control 

standards specified in Env-A 1215 

Rotogravure and Flexographic Printing. 

PAK Solutions shall conduct monitoring 

and testing activities of the RTO as well 

as operate and maintain equipment to 

continuously monitor the temperature 

of the combustion chamber of the RTO. 

This Order also outlines the consistent 

maintenance of the RTO based on the 

manufacture’s recommendations. For 

times that the capture and control 

system is unable to meet the 60% 

capture and 90% reduction requirement 

specified in Env-A 1215.03(b) and EnvA 1215.04(b)(3) due to a malfunction or 

during routine maintenance of the RTO, 

PAK shall be allowed to use DERs in 

accordance with RACT Order RO–0007. 

This is for the purpose of complying 

with the VOC RACT requirements. 

According to the instructions of RACT 

Order RO–0007, PAK shall be allowed 

to generate DERs for VOC emission 

reductions that exceed the reductions 

specified in this Order and be allowed 

to use these DERs for RACT compliance. 

PAK is also allowed to sell DERs to 

other entities within the State of New 

Hampshire. PAK Solutions will also 

maintain sufficient recordkeeping and 

timely annual reporting. 

Regarding reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements, PAK is 

required to submit an annual report to 

NHDES on the projected use of credits 

(DERs) for the upcoming calendar year 

by November 30th. The requirements for 

this report are outlined in Env-A 

3104.08, Notice of Intent and Use of 

DERs. PAK is also required to submit an 

annual report by April 15th to NHDES 

on the balance of credits (DERs) for the 

previous calendar year. The 

requirements for this report are outlined 

in Env-A 3103.08, Notice and 

Certification of Generation and Env-A 

3104.09, Notice and Certification of Use. 

Records are required to be maintained 

on site and submitted upon request for 

control device monitoring and 

maintenance. PAK Solutions is also

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 23, 2024 / Proposed Rules 4243 

subject to the applicable recordkeeping 

and reporting requirements of SIPapproved Env-A 900 Owner or Operator 

Recordkeeping and Reporting 

Obligations, which requires annual 

reporting to the state of emissions data 

and other information relating to 

compliance. Any additional 

recordkeeping requirements are 

outlined within Table 5 in the state’s 

permit to operate. Any additional 

reporting requirements are outlined 

within Table 6 in the state’s permit to 

operate. 

EPA has reviewed RACT Order RO– 

0007 issued by the New Hampshire DES 

to PAK Solutions of Lancaster dated 

December 14, 2022. EPA is proposing an 

approval of this RACT Order into the 

New Hampshire SIP. 

II. Proposed Action 

EPA is proposing to approve RACT 

Order RO–0007 issued by the New 

Hampshire DES to PAK Solutions of 

Lancaster on December 14, 2022, as a 

revision to the New Hampshire SIP. 

EPA is soliciting public comments on 

the issues discussed in this notice or on 

other relevant matters. These comments 

will be considered before taking final 

action. Interested parties may 

participate in the Federal rulemaking 

procedure by submitting written 

comments to this proposed rule by 

following the instructions listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this Federal 

Register. 

III. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, the EPA is proposing to 

include in a final EPA rule regulatory 

text that includes incorporation by 

reference. In accordance with 

requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is 

proposing to incorporate by reference 

RACT Order RO–0007 dated December 

14, 2022, issued by the New Hampshire 

DES to Pak Solutions of Lancaster, as 

discussed in Section I of this preamble. 

The EPA has made, and will continue 

to make, these documents generally 

available through https://

www.regulations.gov and at the EPA 

Region 1 Office (please contact the 

person identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 

preamble for more information). 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Act and applicable 

Federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 

7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in 

reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s role 

is to approve state choices, provided 

that they meet the criteria of the Clean 

Air Act. Accordingly, this proposed 

action merely approves state law as 

meeting Federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this proposed action: 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); and 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act. 

In addition, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where EPA or an 

Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the rule does not have 

tribal implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

Executive Order 12898 (Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629, 

Feb. 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies 

to identify and address 

‘‘disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects’’ 

of their actions on minority populations 

and low-income populations to the 

greatest extent practicable and 

permitted by law. EPA defines 

environmental justice (EJ) as ‘‘the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of all people regardless of race, color, 

national origin, or income with respect 

to the development, implementation, 

and enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies.’’ EPA further 

defines the term fair treatment to mean 

that ‘‘no group of people should bear a 

disproportionate burden of 

environmental harms and risks, 

including those resulting from the 

negative environmental consequences of 

industrial, governmental, and 

commercial operations or programs and 

policies.’’ 

The New Hampshire DES did not 

evaluate environmental justice 

considerations as part of its SIP 

submittal; the CAA and applicable 

implementing regulations neither 

prohibit nor require such an evaluation. 

EPA did not perform an EJ analysis and 

did not consider EJ in this action. Due 

to the nature of the action being taken 

here, this action is expected to have a 

neutral to positive impact on the air 

quality of the affected area. 

Consideration of EJ is not required as 

part of this action, and there is no 

information in the record inconsistent 

with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of 

achieving environmental justice for 

people of color, low-income 

populations, and Indigenous peoples.
