Re: Negative Declaration for Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings CTG 

Dear Mr. Conroy: 

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

Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings source category as regulated by the Control 

Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings (EPA-453/R-0-

006). 

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 

infonnation, the Department has detennined that there are no sources meeting the applicability threshold 

for the Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings CTG. 

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

comment period ending April2, 2013 with an opportunity to request a public hearing. A copy of 

the notice is enclosed. No comments were received.

BRIEF • SUMMARY: 

The Department Is 

proposing to amend the 

Maine State lmplementa- tipn 

• 

Ma'rn'e's existing stanitory conflict of Interest provi- sions governing Board of 

Environmental Protection 

niembera. · . The State Implementa- tion Plan is the federally- enforceable plan for 

Maine that Identifies how 

the State will attain and/or 

maintain' the ·National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards. The Clean Air Act 

requires the State Implementation Plan to con- tain provisions that: (1) 

any board or body which 

approves permits or enforc;ement orders un- der the Clean Air Act has 

at least a majority of 

members who represent the public Interest, and do 

not derive any significant portion of their· income 

from persons subject to 

permits or enforcement 

orders under this Act, and 

(2) any potential conflicts 

of Interest by members of 

such board or body or the 

head of an executive 

agency with similar pow- ers be adequately disclosed. , . Since ·existing M aine 

law meets these federal 

requirements, the 

Department will be 

submitting the current 

statutory contlict of interest provasions found in 38 

MRSA Section 341-C(7) 

and 5 MRSA Section 18 

for Incorporation into the 

State Implementation Plan, thereby satisfying 

its Clean Air Act planning 

The Department is 

proposing to issue 

negative declarations for 

the Large Appliance 

Coatings and Automobile 

and Light-Duty Truck 

Assembly Coatings Control Technique Gufdelin es (CTG) categories. After 

reviewing our inventory of sources for facilities w ith North American 

Industrial Classification 

System (NAICS) codes 

that correspond to these source categories, interviewing field and compli- ance 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 contro l 

requirements, the Issu- ance of a negative declaration will eliminate un- necessary rulemaking. Copies of this proposal are available upon .request by contacting the 

Agency contact person or on the DEP website at 

www.mai ne.gov/de p/ rules/.
