SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 12, 1995, the Maryland Department of

the Environment (MDE) submitted new regulations to EPA as SIP

revisions. These regulations control VOC emissions throughout the

state. MDE submitted these SIP revision requests pursuant to the rate-

of-progress (ROP) and RACT requirements of section 182 and 184 of the

Act. Specifically, Maryland has adopted VOC control measures for yeast

manufacturing, screen printing, EPOs and bakeries.

Background

Section 182(b)(1) of the Act requires states with ozone

nonattainment areas classified as moderate or above to reduce VOC

emissions 15% from 1990 baseline levels. States were required to

achieve the 15% VOC emission reduction by 1996. This ROP requirement,

known as the 15% plan, was due to EPA as a SIP revision by November 15,

1993.

In Maryland, 15% plans were required for the Baltimore severe ozone

nonattainment area, the Maryland portion of the Philadelphia severe

ozone nonattainment area, and the Maryland portion of the Washington,

DC serious ozone nonattainment area. Maryland submitted the required

15% plans to EPA as SIP revisions on July 12, 1995. In these 15% plans,

Maryland takes credit for the emission reductions achieved through the

VOC regulations that Maryland submitted as SIP revisions on July 12,

1995, including Maryland's yeast manufacturing, screen printing, EPO,

and bakery regulations. Furthermore, the VOC emission reductions

achieved by these regulations are needed to achieve the 15% reduction

in the Baltimore plan.

Section 184(b)(1)(B) of the Act requires areas in the Ozone

Transport Region (OTR) to implement RACT regulations for all VOC

sources that have the potential to emit 50 TPY or more. In addition,

section 182(b)(2) requires states to implement RACT regulations on all

``major'' sources of VOC in moderate or above ozone nonattainment

areas. Major VOC sources are those with the potential to emit at least

100 TPY in moderate areas, 50 TPY in serious areas, and 25 TPY in

severe areas. Because Maryland is in the OTR, the State is required to

implement RACT regulations for all sources with the potential to emit

50 TPY or more, throughout the state. Furthermore, in Maryland's severe

ozone nonattainment areas, RACT is required for all VOC sources with

the potential to emit 25 TPY or more. States were required to submit

these RACT regulations to EPA as SIP revisions by November 15, 1992.

Sources were required to comply with RACT by May 31, 1995.

Maryland submitted a generic VOC RACT regulation to EPA as a SIP

revision on April 5, 1991. On June 8, 1993, Maryland submitted

amendments to this regulation to EPA as a SIP revision. The generic

RACT regulation does not contain any specific emission limitations or

requirements for major sources, but instead allows the establishment of

RACT through the SIP revision process for individual sources or source

categories. Maryland's July 12, 1995 SIP revision submittals address

the RACT requirement for the following four source categories: yeast

manufacturing, screen printing, expandable polystyrene operations, and

bakeries.

Summary of SIP Revisions

Control of VOC Emissions from Yeast Manufacturing (COMAR 26.11.19.17)

General Provisions

This new regulation establishes standards for controlling VOC

emissions from yeast manufacturing. This regulation establishes

definitions for the following terms: ``fermentation batch,'' ``first

generation fermenter,'' ``stock fermenter,'' ``trade fermenter,'' and

``yeast manufacturing installation.'' An owner or operator of a yeast

manufacturing installation at a premises that has a potential to emit

of 25 or more tons/year from all yeast manufacturing installations is

subject to this regulation. Compliance with this regulation was

[[Page 53545]]

required by May 15, 1995. This regulation does not apply to a

fermentation batch of any variety which comprises less than 1% of the

total annual yeast production by weight.

General Requirements

A person subject to this rule may not discharge VOC emissions from

a yeast manufacturing installation in excess of the following

concentrations: 100 parts per million (ppm) for trade fermenters, 150

ppm for first generation fermenters, and 300 ppm for stock fermenters.

Compliance with these emission limits will be based on average

undiluted VOC concentration during the time of a fermentation batch.

Any yeast manufacturing installation not subject to these limits must

monitor temperature, pH, and sugar content of the batch to minimize VOC

emissions. This temperature must be controlled so that it is between 75

deg.F and 100 deg.F, and the pH must be between 3.5 and 7.5.

Compliance and Testing

Stack tests, used to calculate emissions concentrations from at

least four different effluent samples per hour for the duration of the

fermentation batch, and continuous process monitors, used to generate

batch average concentrations for each installation, determine

compliance with this regulation. Stack tests must be performed at least

once every four years after an initial stack test, which was required

to have been conducted before October 1, 1995. A test protocol must be

submitted to MDE at least 30 days before the tests are conducted.

Reporting Requirements

Quarterly reports on process monitoring data must be submitted to

MDE by the 20th of the month after the end of each calendar quarter.

Stack test reports must be submitted to MDE within 60 days after each

test.

EPA Evaluation: The controls on fermenters in Maryland's regulation

reduce VOC emissions from yeast manufacturing installations. Maryland's

recordkeeping and reporting provisions ensure that this regulation is

enforceable. Therefore, this regulation, which will achieve significant

VOC emission reductions from yeast manufacturing operations in

Maryland, is fully approvable.

Control of VOC Emissions From Screen Printing (COMAR 26.11.19.18)

General Provisions

This revision establishes VOC controls for screen printers. This

regulation establishes definitions for the following terms: ``Acid/etch

resist ink,'' ``anoprint ink,'' ``back-up coating,'' ``clear coating,''

``conductive ink,'' ``electroluminescent ink,'' ``exterior illuminated

sign,'' ``haze removal,'' ``ink removal,'' ``maximum VOC content,''

``plastic card manufacturing installation,'' ``plywood sign coating,''

``screen printing,'' ``screen printing installation,'' ``screen

reclamation,'' ``specialty inks,'' and ``untreated sign paper.''

This regulation applies to an owner or operator of a screen

printing installation or plastic card manufacturing installation, or

who coats plywood used for signs, at a premises that has total actual

VOC emissions from all screen printing, plastic card manufacturing, and

plywood coating installations of 20 or more pounds/day. These standards

apply to a person who prints or coats a substrate in conjunction with

or in preparation for screen printing. However, this regulation does

not apply to adhesives used for screen printing.

General Requirements

A person subject to this regulation may not cause or permit the

discharge of VOC unless the following requirements are observed, where

lb/gal is pounds per gallon and g/l is grams per liter.

For Screen Printing:

Record Keeping Requirements

Records must be maintained for at least 3 years. These records must

report the total amount of ink, coating, or other material containing

VOC used each month, the VOC content of the ink, coating or other

material used, and the total monthly amount of isopropyl alcohol used

in plastic card manufacturing installations. The records must be

available to MDE upon request.

A person who uses a control device to achieve compliance with this

regulation must have performed a stack test by July 15, 1995

demonstrating compliance, and include the VOC concentrations at the

inlet and outlet of the control device. A test report must be submitted

to MDE within 60 days of the stack test.

EPA Evaluation: The controls on VOC content of inks in screen

printing operations in Maryland's regulation reduce VOC emissions from

these operations. In addition, testing requirements on the control

device will further reduce emissions from this source category.

Finally, Maryland's recordkeeping and reporting provisions ensure that

this regulation is enforceable. Therefore, this regulation, which will

achieve significant VOC emission reductions from screen printing in

Maryland, is fully approvable.

Control of VOC Emissions From Expandable Polystyrene Operations (COMAR

26.11.19.19)

General Provisions

This new regulation establishes standards for controlling VOC

emissions from EPOs. This regulation establishes definitions for the

following terms: ``expandable polystyrene operation,'' ``blowing

agent,'' ``preexpander,'' ``recycled expanded polystyrene,'' and

``reduced VOC content beads.'' This regulation is applicable to anyone

operating an EPO where the total actual VOC emissions from all EPOs on

the premises is 20 or more pounds/day and 10 or more tons/year.

General and Testing Requirements

An EPO operator subject to this regulation may not emit VOC unless

one of the following control measures is used:

a. 10% or more recycled expanded polystyrene is used in the incoming

feed at all times, and reduced VOC content beads are used;

b. A VOC collection and destruction system is installed to control

emissions from the preexpander by 85% or more overall;

c. Duct emissions from the preexpander into the fire box of fuel-

burning equipment.

Spills of polystyrene beads must be collected and any spilled material

will be put in a closed container to prevent and suppress emissions.

If a control device is used, a stack test must be performed to

measure the VOC concentration at the inlet and outlet of the device.

The initial test must be performed no later than 90 days after start-

up, and additional stack tests shall be performed at least once every 3

years beginning 3 years after the initial test. A report shall be

submitted to MDE within 60 days of each stack test.

Record Keeping Requirements

Monthly records of the total weight of beads used and the VOC

content of the beads must be maintained for at least 3 years. An EPO

operator not subject to this regulation must maintain records of the

daily and annual weight of the beads and the VOC content of these

beads, and make these records available to MDE upon request.

EPA Evaluation: The controls on different components of EPOs in

Maryland's regulation reduce VOC emissions from these operations. In

addition, testing requirements on the control device will further

reduce emissions from this source category. Finally, Maryland's

recordkeeping and reporting provisions ensure that this regulation is

enforceable. Therefore, this regulation, which will achieve significant

VOC emission reductions from EPOs in Maryland, is fully approvable.

Control of VOC Emissions From Commercial Bakery Ovens (COMAR

26.11.19.21)

General Provisions

This revision establishes new standards for bakery operations. The

new regulation applies to a person who owns or operates a bakery oven

which was built after 1942 and has a total potential to emit of at

least 25 tons of VOC per year. This regulation applies to the largest

oven at such a facility. This regulation establishes definitions for

the following terms: ``commercial bakery oven,'' ``fermentation time,''

``yeast percentage,'' and ``Yt value.''

General Requirements

After May 15, 1996, a person who owns or operates a bakery oven

that exceeds the average production tonnage of finished bread, rolls or

other yeast-raised products and Yt value listed below may not emit VOC

unless the emissions from the oven are directly exhausted into a

control device designed to reduce VOC emissions by 80% or more.

a. 10,000 tons with a Yt value greater than 11.0;

b. 15,000 tons with a Yt value between 8.1 and 11.0;

c. 22,500 tons with a Yt value less than 5.0 and 8.0;

d. 28,000 tons with a Yt value less than 5.0.

[[Page 53547]]

These control devices were required to have been installed by July 15,

1995.

Requirements for Innovative Control Methods

Innovative methods to control VOC emissions can be used on

commercial bakery ovens by the owner or operator if the methods are to

the satisfaction of MDE. Also, the owner or operator of the oven must

submit to MDE a design of a conventional control system as well as an

expeditious schedule to construct the system should the innovative

control method fail to reach compliance.

Reporting and Testing Requirements

A person who is subject to this regulation and installs a control

device must perform a stack test within 90 days after start-up of the

control device, and submit reports to MDE within 60 days after

completing the stack test.

EPA Evaluation: The requirement to use control devices as well as

innovative control methods on commercial bakery ovens will result in

significant VOC emission reductions. Furthermore, Maryland's

recordkeeping, reporting, and testing provisions ensure that this

regulation is enforceable. Therefore, this regulation is fully

approvable.

EPA is approving these SIP revisions without prior proposal because

the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates

no adverse comments. However, in a separate document in this Federal

Register publication, EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revisions

should adverse or critical comments be filed. This action will be

effective December 15, 1997 unless, by November 14, 1997, adverse or

critical comments are received.

If EPA receives such comments, this action will be withdrawn before

the effective date by publishing a subsequent document that will

withdraw the final action. All public comments received will then be

addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this action serving as a

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. If no such comments are received, the public is

advised that this action will be effective on December 15, 1997.

Final Action

EPA is approving revisions to the Maryland SIP to establish VOC

RACT requirements for bakeries, expandable polystyrene operations,

yeast manufacturing, and screen printing operations. These regulations

achieve fully enforceable VOC emission reductions.

Nothing in this action should be construed as permitting or

allowing or establishing a precedent for any future request for

revision to any state implementation plan. Each request for revision to

the state implementation plan shall be considered separately in light

of specific technical, economic, and environmental factors and in

relation to relevant statutory and regulatory requirements.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this

regulatory action from E.O. 12866 review.

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., EPA

must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis assessing the impact of

any proposed or final rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604.

Alternatively, EPA may certify that the rule will not have a

significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small

entities include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises,

and government entities with jurisdiction over populations of less than

50,000.

SIP approvals under section 110 and subchapter I, part D of the

Clean Air Act do not create any new requirements but simply approve

requirements that the State is already imposing. Therefore, because the

Federal SIP approval does not impose any new requirements, the Regional

Administrator certifies that it does not have a significant impact on

any small entities affected. Moreover, due to the nature of the

Federal-State relationship under the CAA, preparation of a flexibility

analysis would constitute Federal inquiry into the economic

reasonableness of state action. The Clean Air Act forbids EPA to base

its actions concerning SIPs on such grounds. Union Electric Co. v. U.S.

EPA, 427 U.S. 246, 255-66 (1976); 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2).

Under section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

(``Unfunded Mandates Act''), signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA

must prepare a budgetary impact statement to accompany any proposed or

final rule that includes a Federal mandate that may result in estimated

costs to State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate; or to

private sector, of $100 million or more. Under section 205, EPA must

select the most cost-effective and least burdensome alternative that

achieves the objectives of the rule and is consistent with statutory

requirements. Section 203 requires EPA to establish a plan for

informing and advising any small governments that may be significantly

or uniquely impacted by the rule.

EPA has determined that the approval action proposed/promulgated

does not include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs

of $100 million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments

in the aggregate, or to the private sector. This Federal action

approves pre-existing requirements under State or local law, and

imposes no new requirements. Accordingly, no additional costs to State,

local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector, result from

this action.

Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) as added by the Small Business

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, EPA submitted a report

containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate,

the U.S. House of Representatives and the Comptroller General of the

General Accounting Office prior to publication of the rule in today's

Federal Register. This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5

U.S.C. 804(2).

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for

judicial review of this action, pertaining to revisions to the Maryland

SIP establishing VOC control requirements for yeast manufacturing,

screen printing, expandable polystyrene operations, and bakeries, must

be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate

circuit by December 15, 1997. Filing a petition for reconsideration by

the Regional Administrator of this final rule does not affect the

finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review nor does it

extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be

filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action.

This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its

requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
