Re: Negative Declaration for Large Appliance Coatings CTG 

Dear Mr. Conroy: 

April23, 2013 

The Maine Department of Environmental Protection is hereby submitting a negative declaration 

for the Large Appliance Coatings source category as regulated by the Control Techniques 

Guidelines (CTG) for Large Appliance Coatings (EPA-453/R-07-004). 

Department staff reviewed the inventory of sources for facilities with North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes that correspond to this source category; interviewed its 

field and compliance staff; and searched telephone and business directories to determine if any 

sources meeting the applicability requirements of this CTG are located in Maine. After 

thoroughly reviewing all available information, the Department has determined that there are no 

sources meeting the applicability threshold for the large Appliance Coatings CTG. 

Public notice appeared in the Kennebec Journal on March 2, 2013 offering a 30-day written 

comment period ending April 2, 2013 with an opportunity to request a public hearing. A copy of 

the notice is enclosed. No comments were received. 

If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact Jeff Crawford at (207) 287-7647.

(CTG) categories. After 

reviewing our Inventory of sources for facilities 

with North American

that correspond to these source categories, inter- viewing field and compliance staff, and searching telephone and business 

directories, we have 

determined that there are no sources In Maine 

meeting the applicability thresholds for either of 

these CTG categories. Since there are no source's subject to these 

federal control 

requirements, the issuance of a negative declaration will eliminate un- necessary rulemaking. Copies of this proposal are available upon re· 

quest by contacting the
