address.
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).)
