6 NYCRR Part 228, Subpart 228-1 Surface Coating Processes and Subpart 228-2 Commercial Industrial Adhesives, Sealants and Primers
Pursuant to Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) Sections 1-0101, 3-0301, 3-0303, 19-0103, 19-0105, 19-0107, 19-0301, 19-0302, 19-0303, 19-0305, 71-2103, and 71-2105; and Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 182; the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) hereby gives notice of the following:
Notice of adoption of rules on May 2, 2013, filed with the Department of State on May 6, 2013, to be effective June 5, 2013, to amend existing Title 6 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York (NYCRR) Subpart 228-1 'Surface Coating Processes', Subpart 228-2 'Commercial and Industrial Adhesives, Sealants and Primers', Part 200 'General Provisions', and Part 201 'Permits and Registrations.'
This rulemaking incorporates requirements contained in federal Control Technique Guidelines (CTGs) establishing Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by surface coating processes.
The revisions to Subpart 228-1 conform to the CTGs by: 1) restructuring the current rule for ease of use and streamlining purposes; 2) lowering certain applicability thresholds; 3) lowering certain VOC content limits; 4) adding several coating subcategories; and 5) increasing the "overall removal efficiency rating" for add-on controls. The revisions to Subpart 228-2 consist of editorial and clarifying changes. CAA Section 182 requires New York State to revise its State Implementation Plan (SIP) to include requirements that are consistent with the federal CTGs.
Based on comments received during the public comment period for the proposed rulemaking (October 31, 2012 to December 28, 2012), no substantial changes have been made to the proposed rule.

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Draft Policy for the Volunteer Stewardship Program
This policy provides the manner in which the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) may enter into Volunteer Stewardship Agreements (Agreement or Agreements) with individuals, groups and organizations for providing stewardship activities that help preserve, maintain, and/or enhance lands and facilities under the Department's jurisdiction.
NYS DEC is responsible for the management of more than four million acres of state land and conservation easements and numerous facilities under its jurisdiction. From forests and lakes to parks and campgrounds, it is an enormous undertaking to preserve and protect such vast and diverse environmental resources. NYS DEC's ability to adequately maintain these resources is greatly enhanced with the help of many individuals and groups that volunteer their time and talent to help preserve and enhance these resources for all to enjoy.
Pursuant to the powers set forth in ECL § 3-0301, the NYS DEC has made use of volunteers for a wide range of activities. Such activities may involve remediating vandalism, picking up litter and trash, establishing or maintaining trails, providing interpretive services for school groups and other citizens, managing fish and wildlife habitats, or otherwise providing positive benefits to state land and facilities.
Copies of this proposed policy can be obtained by contacting the person indicated below. The policy is also available on the NYS DEC website at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/regulations/90822.html Written comments are welcome and should be sent to the contact person listed below until June 21, 2013.
