citations are shown in black italics and PPG' s response is shown in bold red. 

§116.604 Duration and Renewal of Registrations to Use Standard Permits 

An owner or operator who chooses to use a standard permit shall register to use l! standard permit in 

accordance with §116.611 of this title (relating to Registration to Use a Standard Permit), unless 

otherwise specified in a specific standard permit. 

( 1) The registration to use a standard permit is valid for a term not to exceed ten years. 

(2) The holder of a standard permit shall be required to renew the registration to use a standard permit 

by the date the registration expires. Any registration renewal shall include the requirements, as 

applicable, of §116.611 of this title (relating to Registration to Use a Standard Permit) and shall 

provide information determined by the commission to be necessary to demonstrate compliance with 

the requirements and conditions of the standard permit and with applicable state and federal 

regulations. 

PPG will registet· to use a standard permit in accordance with § 116.611 of this title. No later than 

the date of registration expiration, PPG will renew the registration. Any registration renewal will 

include the requirements, as applicable, of' § 116.611 of this title and will provide information 

determined by the commission to be necessary to demonstrate compliance with the requirements 

and conditions of the standard pennit and with applicable state and federal regulations.

§116.605 Standard Permit Amendment and Revocation 

(d) The commission may, through amendment of a standard permit, add or delete requirements or 

limitations to the permit. 

( 1) To remain authorized under the standard permit, a facility shall comply with an amendment to 

the standard permit on the later of either the deadline the commission provides in the amendment 

or the date the facility's registration to use the standard permit is required to be renewed. The 

commission may not require compliance with an amended standard permit within 24 months of 

its amendment unless it is necessary to protect public health. 

(2) Before the date the facility is required to comply with the amendment, the standard permit, as it 

read before the ameudment, applies to the facility. 

PPG recognizes that the commission may, through amendment of a standard permit, add m· delete 

requirements or limitations to the permit. PI>G will comply with an amendment to the standard 

permit on the later of either the deadline the commission provides in the amendment or the date the 

facility's registration to use the standard permit is required to be renewed. 

§116.610 Applicability 

(a) Under the Texas Clean Air Act, §382.051, a project that meets the requirements for a standard permit 

listed in this subchapter or issued by the commission is hereby entitled to the standard permit, 

provided the following conditions listed in this section are met. For the purposes of this subchapter, 

project means the construction or modification of a facility or a group of facilities submitted under 

the same registration. 

( 1) Any project that results in a net increase in emissions of air contaminants from the project other 

than carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen, methane, ethane, hydrogen, oxygen, or those for which a 

national ambient air quality standard has been established must meet the emission limitations of 

§106.261 of this title (relating to Facilities (Emission Limitations)), unless otherwise specified by 

a particular standard permit. 

§116.617(b)(3) states: "The emissions limitations of §116.610(a)(1) of this title do not apply to this 

standard permit." Therefore, this requirement does not apply to the subject oxy-fuel conversion 

project. 

(2) Construction or operation of the project must be commenced prior to the effective date of a 

revision to this subchapter under which the project would no longer meet the requirements for a 

standard permit. 

Construction and initial operation of the oxy-fucl project is scheduled for fourth quarter 2008. 

PPG is not aware of any proposed changes to the State Pollution Control Project Standard Permit 

or general conditions that would become effective prior to construction and operation of the 

project.

(3) The proposed project must comply with the applicable provisions of the Federal Clean Air Act 

(FCAA), §111 (concerning New Source Performance Standards) as listed under 40 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 60, promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

Standards of Performance for Glass Manufacturing Plants are promulgated under 40 CFR Part 60, 

Subpart CC. Section 60.290 provides as follows regarding applicability: 

(a) Each glass melting furnace is an affected facility to which the provisions of this 

subpart apply. 

(b) Any facility under paragraph (a) of this section that commences construction or 

modification after June 15, 1979, is subject to the requirements of this subpart. 

Melting Furnace No. 1 was constructed prior to .June 15, 1979. llor purposes of 40 CFR Part 60, a 

modification is defined in 40 CFR §60.2 as: 

"Any physical change in, or change in the method of operate of, an existing facility 

which increases the amount of any air pollutant (to which a standard applies) emitted 

into the atmosphere by that facility or which results in the emission of any air pollutant 

(to which a standard applies) into the atmosphere not previously emitted." 

The oxy-fuel conversion will not result in any increase in emissions of an air contaminant that is 

currently emitted,.or the emission of air pollutants not previously emitted .. Accordingly, the project 

does not constitute a modification that would render Subpart CC applicable to Melting Furnace 

No.1. 

Additionally, 40 CIIR §60.14(e)(5) provides that the following is not a modification: 

"The addition or use of any system or device whose primary function is the reduction 

of air pollutants, except when an emission control system is removed or is replaced by a 

system which the Administrator determines to be less environmentally beneficial." 

The oxy-fuel conversion project, which will result in a substantial reduction of NOx emissions and 

no increase in the level of emissions of other air contaminants, is not a modification and is not 

subject to the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CC. 

(4) The proposed project must comply with the applicable provisions of FCAA, §112 (concerning 

Hazardous Air Pollutants) as listed under 40 CFR Part 61, promulgated by the EPA. 

The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) as listed under 40 

CFR Part 61, promulgated by the EPA, provides for only one standard regarding glass 

manufacturing in Subpart N. This standard states: "the source to which this subpart applies is 

each glass melting furnace that uses commercial arsenic as a raw material." Arsenic has never 

been used as an ingredient at PPG's Wichita Falls Plant; therefore 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart N, 

PPG Standard Permit Registration 

TCEQ Account No. WH-0040-R 

-16-

ENVIRON 
does not apply to this facility. 

(5) The proposed project must comply with the applicable maximum achievable control technology 

standards as listed under 40 CFR Part 63, promulgated by the EPA under FCM, §112 or as 

listed under Chapter II3, Subchapter C of this title (relating to National Emissions Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories (FCM, §I 12, 40 CFR Part 63 )). 

NESHAP standards contained in 40 CFR Part 63 provide for HAP standards for specific industrial 

categories. There have been no promulgated or proposed Part 63 standards for flat glass 

manufacturing facilities that apply to this site. 

(6) If subject to Chapter IOJ, Subchapter H, Division 3 of this title (relating to Mass Emissions Cap 

and Trade Program) the proposed facility, group of facilities or account must obtain allocations 

to operate. 

The PPG Wichita Falls Plant is not subject to the Mass Emissions Cap and Trade Program. 

(b) Any project that constitutes a new major stationary source or major modification as defined in 

§1 16.12 of this title (relating to Nonattainment and Prevention of Significant Deterioration Review 

Definitions) is subject to the requirements of §116.110 of this title (relating to Applicability) rather 

than this subchapter. 

The project is not a new major stationary source or a modification to an existing major stationary 

source. Refer to the discussion in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this application. 

(c) Persons may not circumvent by artificial/imitations the requirements of §116.110 of this title. 

PPG will not circumvent by artificial limitations the requirements of §116.110 of this title. 

(d) Any project involving a proposed affected source (as defined in §116.15(I) of this title (relating to 

Section 112(g) Definitions)) shall comply with all applicable requirements under Subchapter E of this 

chapter (relating to Hazardous Air Pollutants: Regulations Governing Constructed or Reconstructed 

Major Sources (FCM, §112(g), 40 CFR Part 63)). Affected sources subject to Subchapter E of this 

chapter may use a standard permit under this subchapter only if the terms and conditions of the 

specific standard permit meet the requirements of Subchapter E of this chapter. 

Melting Furnace No. I is not an affected source as defined in §116.15(1). 

§116.611 Registration to Use a Standard Permit 

(a) If required, registration to use a standard permit shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt 

requested, or hand delivered to the executive director, the appropriate commission regional office, 

and any local air pollution program with jurisdiction, before a standard permit can be used. The 

registration must be submitted on the required form and must document compliance with the 

requirements of this section, including, but not limited to: 

(I) the basis of emission estimates;

there are no objections or 45 days after receipt by the executive director of the registration, 

whichever occurs first, except where a different time period is specified for a particular standard 

permit. 

The State Pollution Control Project Standard Permit specifies a different time period. Refer to 

Section 4.2 for a discussion of specific standard permit requirements. 

(c) In order to avoid applicability of Chapter 122 of this title (relating to Federal Operating Permits), a 

certified registration shall be submitted. The certified registration must state the maximum allowable 

emission rates and must include documentation of the basis of emission estimates and a written 

statement by the registrant certifying that the maximum emission rates listed on the registration 

reflect the reasonably anticipated maximums for operation of the facility. The certified registration 

shall be amended if the basis of the emission estimates changes or the maximum emission rates listed 

on the registration no longer reflect the reasonably anticipated maximums for operation of the 

facility. The certified registration shall be submitted to the executive director; to the appropriate 

commission regional office; and to all local air pollution control agencies having jurisdiction over 

the site. Certified registrations must also be maintained in accordance with the requirements of 

§116.115 of this title (relating to General and Special Conditions). 

( 1) Certified registrations established prior to the effective date of this rule shall be submitted on or 

before February 3, 2003.

4.2 Compliance with Specific Requirements 

Following is a discussion of how PPG proposes to meet the specific requirements of the State Pollution 

Control Project Standard Permit. Texas Administrative Code ("TAC") citations are shown in black italics 

and PPG' s response is shown in bold red. 

§116.617 State Pollution Control Project Standard Permit 

(a) Scope and applicability. 

( 1) This standard permit applies to pollution control projects undertaken voluntarily or as required 

by any governmental standard, that reduce or maintain currently authorized emission rates for 

facilities authorized by a permit, standard permit, or permit by rule. 

PPG proposes to voluntarily undertake conversion of Melting Furnace No. 1 from air-fuel to oxyfnel. This conversion will reduce and/or maintain currently authorized emission rates for the 

facility cunently authorized by a permit. 

(2) The project may include: 

(A) the installation or replacement of emissions control equipment; 

(B) the implementation or change to control techniques; or 

(C) the substitution of compounds used in manufacturing processes. 

PPG will convert Melting Furnace No. 1 from air-fuel to oxy-fuel. Therefore, the project falls into 

this category of an implementation or change to control techniques. 

( 3) This standard permit must not be used to authorize the installation of emission control equipment 

or the implementation of a control technique that: 

(A) constitutes the complete replacement of an existing production facility or reconstruction of a 

production facility as defined in40 Code of Federal Regulations §60.15(b)( 1) and (c); or 

The standard permit will not be used by PPG to replace or reconstruct the production facility. 40 

CFR §60.15(b) defines "reconstruction" as: 

"the replacement of components of an existing facility to such au extent that: (1) The 

fixed capital cost of the new components exceeds 50 percent of the fixed capital cost 

that would be required to construct a comparable entirely new facility." 

The conversion of Melting Fnrnace No. 1 to oxy-fnel will cost less than 50% of the cost of 

constmcting a new oxy-fnel fnrnace. Therefore, the project will not constitute reconstruction. Cost 

information is submitted under separate cover and marked CONFIDENTIAL. 

(B) the executive director determines there are health effects concerns or the potential to exceed 

a national ambient air quality standard criteria pollutant or contaminant that results from an 

increase in emissions of any air contaminant until those concerns are addressed by the 

PPG Standard Permit Registration 

TCEQ Account No. WH~OD40-R

registrant to the satisfaction of the executive director; or 

There will be no increase in emissions of any air contaminant as a result of this project. 

(C) returns a facility or group of facilities to compliance with an existing authorization or permit 

unless authorized by the executive director. 

Melting Furnace No. 1 is currently in compliance with the existing permit. 

(4) Only new or modified pollution control projects must meet the conditions of this standard permit. 

All previous standard permit registrations under this section that were authorized prior to the 

effective date of this rule must include the increases and decreases in emissions resulting from 

those projects in any future netting calculation and all other conditions must be met upon the tenyear anniversary and renewal of the original registration, or until administratively incorporated 

into the facilities' permit, if applicable. 

The oxy-fuel conversion of Melting Furnace No. 1 is a new pollution control project that meets the 

conditions of this standard permit registration. No previous standard permit registration exists for 

the facility.

Predictable maintenance, startup, and shutdown emissions directly associated with the Melting 

Furnace No. 1 oxy-fnel conversion project are included in tlte representations of the registration. 

( 5) Any increases in actual or allowable emission rates or any increase in production capacity 

authorized by this section (including increases associated with recovering lost production 

capacity) must occur solely as a result of the project as represented in the registration 

application. Any increases of production associated with a pollution control project must not be 

utilized until an additional authorization is obtained. This paragraph is not intended to limit the 

owner or operator's ability to recover lost capacity caused by a derate, which may be recovered 

and used without any additional authorization. 

Any increases in actual or allowable emission rates or any increase in production capacity 

authorized by this section of the TAC Title 30 will occur solely as a result of the project as 

represented in the registration application. There will be no increase in production capacity as a 

result of this project. 

(c) Replacement projects. 

( 1) The replacement of emissions control equipment or control technique under this standard permit 

is not limited to the method of control currently in place, provided that the control or technique is 

at least as effective as the current authorized method and all other requirements of this standard 

permit are met. 

The conversion of Melting Furnace No. 1 from air-fired to oxy-fuel will be at least as effective as the 

current authorized method of emissions contml, and all other requirements of the standard permit

will be met. 

(2) The maintenance, startup, and shutdown emissions may be increased above currently authorized 

levels if the increase is necessary to implement the replacement project and maintenance, startup, 

and shutdown emissions were authorized for the existing control equipment or technique. 

No increase in maintenance, startup and/or shutdown emissions is anticipated. 

( 3) Equipment installed under this section is subject to all applicable testing and recordkeeping 

requirements of the original control authorization. Alternate, equivalent monitoring, or records 

may be proposed by the applicant for review and approval of the executive director. 

No alternate, equivalent monitoring or recordkeeping is proposed by PPG. 

(d) Registration requirements. 

(I) A registration must be submitted in accordance with the following. 

(A) If there are no increases in authorized emissions of any air contaminant resulting from a 

replacement pollution control project, a registration must be submitted no later than 30 days 

after construction or implementation begins and the registration must be accompanied by a 

$900fee. 

(B) If a new control device or technique is authorized or if there are increases in authorized 

emissions of any air contaminant resulting from the pollution control project, a registration 

must be submitted no later than 30 days prior to construction or implementation. The 

registration must be accompanied by a $900 fee. Construction or implementation may begin 

only cifter: 

(i) no written response has been received from the executive director within 30 calendar 

days of receipt by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ); or 

(ii) written acceptance of the pollution control project has been issued by the executive 

director. 

The oxy-fuel conversion project involves the implementation of a new control technique. 

Therefore, this registration is being submitted no later than 30 days prior to construction and 

implementation. The registration fee of $900 bas been paid via ePay. A copy of the TCEQ ePay 

Voucher Receipt is included as Attachment G. Construction and implementation will only begin 

after no written response bas been received from the executive director within 30 calendar days of 

receipt by the TCEQ or after written acceptance of the pollution control project has been issued by 

the executive director. 

(C) If there are any changes in representations to a previously authorized pollution control 

project standard permit for which there are no increases in authorized emissions of any air 

contaminant, a notification or letter must be submitted no later than 30 days after 

construction or implementation of the change begins. No fee applies and no response will be

sent from the executive director. 

There is no previously authorized standard permit for this project. Therefore, this requirements is 

not applicable. 

(D) If there are any changes in representations to a previously authorized pollution control 

project standard permit that also increase authorized emissions of any air contaminant 

resulting from the pollution control project, a registration alteration must be submitted no 

later than 30 days prior to the start of construction or implementation of the change. The 

registration must be accompanied by a $450 fee, unless received within 180 days of the 

original registration approval. Construction or implementation may begin only after: 

(i) no written response has been received from the executive director within 30 calendar 

days of receipt by the TCEQ; or 

(ii) written acceptance of the pollution control project has been issued by the executive 

director. 

There is no previously authorized standard pem1it for this project. Therefore, this requirement is 

not applicable. 

(2) The registration must include the following: 

(A) a description of process units affected by the project; 

Refei' to Sections 1, 2 and 3 of this document. 

(B) a description of the project; 

Refer to Sections 1 and 3 of this document. 

(C) identification of existing permits or registrations affected by the project; 

Refer to Section 1 of this document. 

(D) quantification and basis of increases and/or decreases associated with the project, including 

identification of affected existing or proposed emission points, all air contaminants, and 

hourly and annual emissions rates; 

Refer to Sections 2 and 3 of this document. 

(E) a description of proposed monitoring and recordkeeping that will demonstrate that the 

project decreases or maintains emission rates as represented; and 

PPG proposes to conduct source testing to demonstrate NOx emissions from Melting Furnace No. 1 

following the conversion. EPA approved test methods will be used. PPG will conduct the testing 

within 270 days of achieving a stable operation following the oxy-fuel conversion. In addition to 

source testing, PPG will maintain information sufficient to demonstrate that actual emissions do 

not exceed the proposed allowable limits. This information may include production data and/or 

source testing data that establishes the relationship between production and emissions.
