Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) By August 1, 2010, or upon initial start-up of a new heatset web letterpress printing line, whichever is later, and upon modification of a heatset web letterpress printing line, an owner or operator of a heatset web letterpress printing line exempt from any of the limitations of Section 219.413 of this Subpart because of the criteria in Section 219.412(a)(1) shall submit a certification to the Agency that includes:
1) A declaration that the
source is exempt from the requirements in Section
219.413
of this Subpart because of the criteria in Section
219.412(a)(1)
of this Subpart;
2) Calculations
which demonstrate that the source's total potential to emit VOM does not equal
or exceed 22.7 Mg (25 tons) per year.
b) An owner or operator of a letterpress printing line exempt from any of the limitations of Section 219.413 of this Subpart because of the criteria in Section 219.412(a)(2) shall:
1)
By August 1, 2010, or upon initial start-up of a new letterpress printing line,
whichever is later, and upon modification of a letterpress printing line,
submit a certification to the Agency that includes the information specified in
either subsections (b)(1)(A) through (b)(1)(C) of this Section, or subsections
(b)(1)(A) and (b)(1)(D) of this Section, as applicable:
A) A declaration that the source is exempt
from the control requirements in Section
219.413
of this Part because of the criteria in Section
219.412(a)(2)
of this Subpart;
B) Calculations
that demonstrate that combined emissions of VOM from all letterpress printing
lines (including inks and solvents used for cleanup operations associated with
the letterpress printing lines) at the source never equal or exceed 6.8 kg/day
(15 lbs/day), in the absence of air pollution control equipment, as follows:
i) To calculate daily emissions of VOM, the
owner or operator shall determine the monthly emissions of VOM from all
letterpress printing lines at the source (including solvents used for cleanup
operations associated with the letterpress printing lines) and divide this
amount by the number of days during that calendar month that letterpress
printing lines at the source were in operation;
ii) To determine the VOM content of the inks
and cleaning solvents, the tests methods and procedures set forth in Section
219.415(c)
of this Subpart shall be used;
iii)
To determine VOM emissions from inks used on letterpress printing lines at the
source, an ink emission adjustment factor of 0.05 shall be used in calculating
emissions from all non-heatset inks except when using an impervious substrate,
and a factor of 0.80 shall be used in calculating emissions from all heatset
inks to account for VOM retention in the substrate except when using an
impervious substrate. For impervious substrates such as metal or plastic, no
emission adjustment factor is used. The VOM content of the ink, as used, shall
be multiplied by this factor to determine the amount of VOM emissions from the
use of ink on the printing lines; and
iv) To determine VOM emissions from cleaning
solutions used on letterpress printing lines at the source, an emission
adjustment factor of 0.50 shall be used in calculating emissions from used shop
towels if the VOM composite vapor pressure of each associated cleaning solution
is less than 10 mmHg measured at 20oC
(68oF) and the shop towels are kept in closed
containers. Otherwise, no retention factor is used;
C) A description and the results of all tests
used to determine the VOM content of inks and cleaning solvents, and a
declaration that all such tests have been properly conducted in accordance with
Section
219.415(c)(1)
of this Subpart;
D) As an
alternative to the calculations in subsection (b)(1)(B), a statement that the
source uses less than the amount of material specified in subsection
(b)(1)(D)(i) or (b)(1)(D)(ii), as applicable, during each calendar month. A
source may determine that it emits below 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) of VOM based
upon compliance with such material use limitations. If the source exceeds this
amount of material use in a given calendar month, the owner or operator must,
within 15 days of the end of that month, complete the emissions calculations of
subsection (b)(1)(B) to determine daily emissions for applicability purposes.
If the source ever exceeds this amount of material use for six consecutive
calendar months, it is no longer eligible to use this subsection as an
alternative to the calculations in subsection (b)(1)(B). If a source has both
heatset web and either nonheatset web or sheetfed letterpress printing
operations, or has all three types of printing operations, the owner or
operator may not make use of this alternative and must use the calculations in
subsection (b)(1)(B).
i) The sum of all
sheetfed and nonheatset web letterpress printing operations at the source:
242.3 liters (64 gallons) of cleaning solvent; or
ii) The sum of all heatset web letterpress
printing operations at the source: 204.1 kg (450 lbs) of ink and cleaning
solvent;
2)
For sources complying with subsection (b)(1)(B) of this Section, notify the
Agency in writing if the combined emissions of VOM from all letterpress
printing lines (including inks and solvents used for cleanup operations
associated with the letterpress printing lines) at the source ever equal or
exceed 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day), in the absence of air pollution control
equipment, within 30 days after the event occurs;
3) For sources complying with subsection
(b)(1)(D) of this Section, comply with the following:
A) Maintain material use records showing that
the source uses less than the amount of material specified in subsections
(b)(1)(D)(i) and (b)(1)(D)(ii) during each calendar month, or, if the source
exceeds the material use limitations, records showing that the source exceeded
the limitations but did not emit 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) or more of VOM. On and
after January 1, 2012, such records shall include the name, identification
number, and VOM content of each cleaning solvent and ink used per calendar
month, the volume of each cleaning solvent used per calendar month for each
sheetfed and nonheatset web letterpress printing operation, and the weight of
each cleaning solvent and ink used per calendar month for each heatset web
letterpress printing operation;
B)
Notify the Agency in writing if the source exceeds the material use limitations
for six consecutive calendar months, or if the source changes its method of
compliance from subsection (b)(1)(D) to subsection (b)(1)(B) of this Section,
within 30 days after the event occurs.
c) Unless complying with subsections (b)(1)(D) and (b)(3) of this Section, on and after August 1, 2010, an owner or operator of a letterpress printing line exempt from any of the limitations in Section 219.413 of this Subpart because of the criteria in Section 219.412(a)(1) or (a)(2) shall collect and record either the information specified in subsection (c)(1) or (c)(2) of this Section for all letterpress printing lines at the source:

month, determined as the sum of the product of usage and VOM content for each
cleaning solvent and letterpress ink (with the applicable ink VOM emission
adjustment) used at the source, calculated each month; and
E) The VOM emissions in lbs/day for the
month, calculated in accordance with subsection (b)(1)(B) of this
Section;
2) Purchase and
inventory recordkeeping, including the following:
A) The name, identification, and VOM content
