          - 40 CFR Part 52 
          - [R05-OAR-2005-WI-0002; FRL-7974-5] 

# AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

# ACTION:

Proposed rule. 

# SUMMARY:

EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Wisconsin State Implementation Plan (SIP) for an alternative volatile organic compounds (VOC) control device for Serigraph, Incorporated (Serigraph). On May 18, 2005, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources submitted a request to revise the Wisconsin SIP. The proposed revision approves Serigraph's use of a biofilter to control VOC emissions from its printing facility in Washington County, Wisconsin. The biofilter system will reliably control emissions at or below the level of the control methods listed in the SIP. Serigraph has designed one of its plants as a permanent total enclosure (PTE), which captures all VOC emissions and routes them to the biofilter. There are no fugitive emissions from the plant. This reduces the total VOC emissions from Serigraph's facility. 

                        In the final rules section of this                         **Federal Register**                        , EPA is approving the SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal, because EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. We do not intend to take any further action in relation to this proposed rule unless we receive adverse comment this action. If EPA receives adverse comment, we will withdraw the direct final rule and will respond to all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

### A. Does This Action Apply to Me? 

This action applies to a single source, Serigraph, Incorporated of Washington County, Wisconsin. 

### B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit CBI to EPA through RME, regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. When submitting comments, remember to: 

                    a. Identify the rulemaking by docket number and other identifying information (subject heading,                     **Federal Register**                     date and page number).                 

b. Follow directions—The agency may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number. 

c. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes. 

d. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/or data that you used. 

e. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be reproduced. 

f. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and suggest alternatives. 

g. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats. 

h. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. 

## II. What Action Is EPA Taking Today? 

EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Wisconsin VOC SIP for Serigraph. The revision approves Serigraph's use of a biofilter to control VOC emissions from several lines in Plant 2 at its facility. This is an alternative to the controls listed in the SIP. Section NR 422.04(2)(d) of the Wisconsin Administrative Code allows an alternative control method that is demonstrated to reliably control emissions to a level at or below the applicable SIP limit and is approved by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The biofilter will reliably control VOC emissions at a level in line with other control techniques for surface printing facilities. An eighty percent overall control efficiency for VOC emissions is required for a control device. Overall control efficiency includes both capture and destruction efficiencies. Plant 2 is designed as a PTE ensuring all the emissions are captured and exhausted into the biofilter. Serigraph has operated its biofilter since May 1997. An average of 54 tons of VOC emissions are vented to the biofilter each year. The average exhaust from the biofilter is about 8 tons of VOC per year. This comfortably exceeds the control requirement.
