## REGULATORY BACKGROUND
1.1 Atlanta Ozone Nonattainment Area 

### Under the former l-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), the previous 13-countyAtlanta ozone nonattainment area, consisting of Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Paulding and Rockdale Counties, was classified as a severe nonattainment area. As a part of the nonattainment designation, Georgia EPD implemented control measures for ozone precursors VOC and NOx that fulfilled the purposes of Section 182(b)(2)for the 1-hour ozone NAAQS. These control measure provisions are still in place as part of the approved 1 -hour ozone metro Atlanta maintenanceplan. On April 30, 2004 the Atlanta nonattainment area was initially designated as a marginal nonattainment areaunder the 1997 8-hour ozoneNAAQS and expanded from the original 13-county area to a 20-county area by adding Barrow, Bartow, Carroll, Hall, Newton, Spaldingand Walton counties. Atlantawas reclassified as a moderate nonattainment area on March 6,2008.
As presented in the Atlanta 8-hour Ozone Attainment Demonstration submitted to EPA on October 21, 2009, Georgia EPD has demonstratedthat theAtlantaNonattainment area does not rely on VOCs to meet attainment for ozone and is considered a NOx-limited area due to overwhelming naturally occurringbiogenic VOCs.
The analyses of ozone, NO, and NOx data using the ozone M.A.P.P.E.R. program showed that ozone formation in Atlanta is generally transitional to NOx-limited, but when the results were binned according to the daily maximum 8-hour ozone, ozone formation was strongly NOx-limited on days of elevated ozone. An analysis of weekendlweeliday differences in ozone concentration also indicates a generally NOxlimited regime, with ozone formation becoming more NOx-limited in recent years comparedto the late 1990s. These findings are generally in agreement with several studies of the trends and limiting factors for ozone formation in Atlanta. Pun et al. (2003)' investigated the weekly patterns of ozone in Atlanta and found elevated midweek concentrations compared to weekends, with stronger weekly patterns in later years (1995-1999 compared to 1986- 1990),concluding that the availability of NOx drives the weekly ozone cycle in Atlanta. Analyzing various aircraft measurements, Sillman et al. (1997)~ conclude that Atlanta ozone is mostlyNOx-limited, using variousindicator ratios.

1.2 Clean Air Act Section 

### 182(b)(2)Requirements 

### Section 182(b)(2)of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that a federal Control Technique Guideline (CTG) issued between November 15, 1990, and the date of attainmentinclude the date by which States subject to Section 182(b)must submit SIPrevisions in response to the CTGto include reasonably available control technology (RACT) 

### for each category of volatile organic compound (VOC) sources covered by a CTG.
RACT is defined as the lowest emissions limitation that a particular source is capable of meetingby the application of control technologythat isreasonably available considering technological and economical feasibility (44 FR 53762; September 17, 1979). Documents useful in establishingRACT include Control Techniques Guidelines (CTGs), Alternative Control Technique guidance (ACT), Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), and Best Available Control Technology (BACT) determinations. RACT requirements are included in the CAAto assurethat significantsource categoriesatmajor sources ofozone precursor emissions are controlledto a "reasonable" extent, but not necessarily to BACT levels expected of new major sources or major modificationsto existingmajor sources or to MACT required formajor sources ofhazardous air pollutants.
EPA addressed the Group 111 source categories with promulgation of a "Notice of Final Determinationand Availability of Final Control Techniques Guidelines" October 9,2007 [72 FR 572151. States with ozonenonattainmentareas classified as moderate or above as of that date were required to submit SIP revisions to EPA addressing these requirements on or before October 7, 2009. Source categories covered under the "Group III" heading are: Paper, film and foil coatings; Metal furniturecoatings; and

2.1 Regulatory Background

# -Federal Paper, film and foil coating refers to a coatingprocess that applies a continuous layer of coatingmaterial across essentially the entire width or any portion ofa web substrate (web coating), in order to provide a covering, finish, or functional or protective layer to a substsate; to saturate a substrate for lamination; or to provide adhesion between two substrates for lamination.
There have been three federal actions that affect paper, film, and foil, coating operations prior to 2007. In May 1977, EPA issued a CTG document (1977 CTG) for the paper, film, and foil coating industries? Then, in October of 1983,EPApromulgated a national new source performance standard for pressure sensitive tape and label surface coating operations, 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart 

### RR - 

### Standards of Perfomance (NSPS) for Pressure Sensitive Tape and Label Surface Coating Operationswhich is included in the paper, film and foil coating sowce category. After this, in December of 2002, EPA promulgated a national emission standard for web coating industries, 40 CFR Part 63 

### Subpart JJJJ

2.2 Regulatory Background

# - State Georgia EPD implementedGeorgia Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(w) "VOC Emissions from Paper Coating" [a.l<.a.Georgia Rule (w)] to fillfillthe VOC RACT requirements for the 1-hour ozone NAAQS. Georgia Rule (w) was based on the 1977 federal CTG. This CTG addressed surface coating for many different industry categories in addition to paper coating.
2.3 Does the Existing Georgia l-hour Ozone RACT fulfill the %hour Ozone RACT forthis Industry Sector? In September2007, EPA issued an updated CTG (2007 CTG) document for controlling VOC emissions from paper, film and foil coating operations. The following tables compare the recommendations under the 2007 CTG and the existing state lule used to regulatethe category.

### (w). Emission Standards for Paper, Film, and Foil Coating: For facilities with actual emissions greater than 15pounds per day, EPA recommends that the facility implement work practice standards for cleaning that include storing all VOC-containing cleaning materials and used shoptowels in closed containers; ensuringthat storagecontainers used for these materials are kept closed at all times except when accessing the containers; minimizing spills of the VOC-containing cleaning materials; conveying these materials from one location to another in closed containers or pipes; and minimizing VOC emissions from the cleaningprocesses associated with application, storage, mixing, and conveying equipment. This should be done by ensuring that equipment cleaning is performed without atomizing the cleaning solvent and all spent solvent is captured in closed containers.
For surface coating lines with

### The CTG states that the general limits 0.4 lb VOC/lb solids applied and 0.08 lb VOCIlb coating applied limits are equivalent to 2.06 lb VOC/gallon of coating applied. This is more stringent than the Georgia Rule (w) limit of 2.9 Ib VOC per gallon of coating applied. Therefore, the general VOC limits of the CTG are more stringent than Georgia Rule (w) limits. Since the pressure sensitive tape and label surface coating limits are more stringent than the general CTG limits, then the pressure sensitive tape and label limits aremore stringent than the Georgia Rule (w) limits as well.
The emission standards of Georgia Rule (w) are applicable.on a facility-widebasis, as opposed to a coating line basis. Thus, coating lines

### CTG SIPRevision

Com~liance Methods: 

### Facilities subjecttothe updated Georgia Rule (w) will be able to comply with the requirements of the rule by following the work practice standards spelled out inthe rule. Those facilities with individual coating lines that have a potential to emit 25 tons per year or more will have the option of meeting a low VOC content coating or installing control equipment with the required control efficiency. Although not spelled out in the rule, control equipment can be used to meet the content coating emissionlimits.
Procedures for Testing and Monitorine: 

### There are no revisions to Georgia EPD's PTM.
Conclusion: 

### Georgia EPD adopted revisions to Georgia Rule (w) for the 20-county Atlanta ozonenonattainment area on January 25,2012 with a compliancedate of January 1,2015.
Prior to January 1, 2015, paper, film, and foil coating facilities, including pressure sensitive tape and label coating facilities located in the original 13-countynonattainment areawhose potential VOC emissions from theses activities are greaterthan or equal to 15 pounds per day will be subject to the original requirements of this rule. The original requirements will also apply for these types of facilities with potential VOC emissions greater than 100 tons per year that are located in the seven additional nonattainment counties. Beginning on or after January 1, 2015, the rule revisions will apply to paper, film, and foil coating facilities, including pressure sensitive tape and label coating facilities within the entire 20-county nonattainment area with actual VOC emissions equal to or greater than 15pounds per day before controls; while the original requirements continue to apply for these types of facilities located outside of the nonattainment counties with potential VOC emissionsgreaterthan 100tons per yeas. However, because the metro Atlanta area has attained the 1997 ozone NAAQS without these rules in place, if the area is re-designated attainment before Januasy 1, 2015 and those counties continue to maintain the standard, the revisions will no longer apply. In the event that the 1997 ozone standard is violated in the specified nonattainment counties, the revised requirements will only be reinstated if they are determined to be a necessary measure to meet the requirements of themaintenance contingencyplan.

These work practice standards include storing all VOC-containingmaterials and used shop towels in closed containers; ensuring that storage containers used for these materials are kept closed at all times except when accessing the containers; minimizing spills of the VOCcontaining materials; conveying these materials from one location to another in closed containers or pipes; and minimizing VOC emissions from all processes (coating and cleaning) associated with application, storage, mixing, and conveying equipment. The 2007 CTG also recommends that facilities use application techniques with a transfer efficiency equivalent to high volume low pressure (HVLP) or electrostatic spray application methods including flow/cuitain applications, roll coating, dip coat applications, electrodeposition, brush coating, airless spraying, or air-assisted airless spray. In addition to work practice standards for both coating and cleaning processes and the coating equipment standards, the 2007 CTG recommends the use of low-VOC content materials. Table 3.3.2 compares the emission limits recommended in the 2007 CTG to those in existing Georgia Rule (y) in units of pounds-per-gallon of coating. Table 3.3.3 comparesthe emissionlimits recommended inthe 2007 CTG to those in existing Georgia Rule (y) in units of pounds per gallon of coating solids.

Beginning on or after January 1, 2015, the rule revisions will apply to large appliance coating facilities within the entire 20-county nonattainment area with actual VOC emissions equal to or greater than 15pounds per day before controls; while the original requirements continue to apply for these types of facilities located outside of the nonattainment countieswithpotential VOC emissions greater than 100tons per year. However, because the metro Atlanta area has attained the 1997 ozone NAAQS without these rules in place, if the area is re-designated attainment before January 1, 2015 and those counties continue to maintain the standard, the revisions will no longer apply. In the event that the 1997 ozone standard is violated in the specified nonattainment counties, the revised requirements will only be reinstated ifthey are determined to be a necessary measureto meetthe requirementsofthemaintenance contingencyplan.
