Change in Proposed Rule

DAR File No.: 36734
Filed: 12/10/2012 01:05:11 PM

RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

During the public comment period, stakeholders and existing small sources expressed their concerns about the 2.7 tons per year applicability being applied to existing sources in Box Elder and Tooele counties. The EPA also submitted comments regarding the record keeping requirements. The changes to the proposed rule are in response to these comments.

Summary of the rule or change:

Section R307-352-2 is changed stating that in Tooele and Box Elder counties, the rule applies to existing sources as of 02/01/2013, that have the potential to emit 5 tons per year or more of VOC and applies to new sources that have the potential to emit 2.7 tons per year or more VOC. The rule still applies in Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties to sources that have the potential to emit 2.7 tons per year or more of VOC. The definition of "Coil Coating" in Section R307-352-3 is replaced with a definition for "Coating." Language is added to Section R307-352-4 to clarify that exempt solvents are not included in the VOC content limits for the coating used. Section R307-352-5 is changed to require owners and operators to maintain records demonstrating compliance with the rule on an annual basis and to require them to make those records available to the director upon request. The section is also amended by adding application requirements. Section R307-352-6 is changed to clarify that the owner or operator must provide documentation that the emission control system will meet the requirements of Section R307-352-6. (DAR NOTE: This change in proposed rule has been filed to make additional changes to a proposed new rule that was published in the October 1, 2012, issue of the Utah State Bulletin, on page 84. Underlining in the rule below indicates text that has been added since the publication of the proposed rule mentioned above; strike-out indicates text that has been deleted. You must view the change in proposed rule and the proposed new rule together to understand all of the changes that will be enforceable should the agency make this rule effective.)

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

• Subsection 19-2-104(1)(a)

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The changes to this rule do not result in any new requirements to the state; therefore, there are no anticipated costs or savings to the state budget.

local governments:

The changes to this rule do not result in any new requirements to local governments; therefore, there are no anticipated costs or savings to local governments.

small businesses:

Because the rule's applicability to existing sources in Box Elder and Tooele counties is changed from sources with the potential to emit 2.7 tons per year VOC to sources with the the potential to emit 5 tons per year VOC, the rule will apply to fewer sources in those counties, resulting in a savings of up to $3,221 per ton of VOC removed.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

Because there are no new requirements for persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local government entities, there are no anticipated costs or savings.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

Because the rule's applicability to existing sources in Box Elder and Tooele counties is changed from sources with the potential to emit 2.7 tons per year VOC to sources with the the potential to emit 5 tons per year VOC, the rule will apply to fewer sources in those counties, resulting in a savings of up to $3,221 per ton of VOC removed.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

Because the rule's applicability to existing sources in Box Elder and Tooele counties is changed from sources with the potential to emit 2.7 tons per year VOC to sources with the the potential to emit 5 tons per year VOC, the rule will apply to fewer sources in those counties, resulting in a savings of up to $3,221 per ton of VOC removed.

R307-352. Metal Container, Closure, and Coil Coatings.

R307-352-1. Purpose.

The purpose of this rule is to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the coating of metal coils, cans, [drums, ]pails, and lids in the manufacturing or reconditioning process.

 

R307-352-2. Applicability.

[R307-352 applies to all coating operations, including related cleaning activities, in the manufacturing or reconditioning of metal cans, drums, pails, and lids that have the potential to emit 2.7 tons a year of VOC and that are located in Box Elder, Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Tooele, Utah and Weber counties.](1) R307-352 applies to sources located in Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Utah and Weber counties that have the potential to emit 2.7 tons per year or more of VOC, including related cleaning activities.

(2) In Box Elder and Tooele counties, R307-352 applies to the following sources:

(a) Existing sources as of February 1, 2013 with the potential to emit 5 tons per year or more of VOC, including related cleaning activities; and

(b) New sources as of February 1, 2013 that have the potential to emit 2.7 tons per year or more of VOC, including related cleaning activities.

 

R307-352-3. Definitions.

The following additional definitions apply to R307-352:

"[Coil c]Coating" means a protective, functional or decorative film applied in a thin layer to a surface.[any coating applied to metal sheets or strips which are then rolled into coils for further industrial or commercial use.]

"End sealing compound" means a compound which is coated onto can ends and which functions as a gasket when the end is assembled onto the can.

"Exterior body spray" means a coating sprayed on the exterior of the container body to provide a decorative or protective finish.

"Interior body spray" means a coating sprayed on the interior of the can body to provide a protective film between the product and the can.

"Metal container or closure coating" means any coating applied to either the interior or exterior of formed metal cans, [drums, ]pails, lids or crowns or flat metal sheets which are intended to be formed into cans,[ drums, ]pails, lids or crowns.

"Overvarnish" means a coating applied directly over a design coating to reduce the coefficient of friction, to provide gloss and to protect the finish against abrasion and corrosion.

"Reconditioned [drums, ]pails or lids" means any metal container which is reused, recycled or remanufactured.

"Three-piece can side-seam coating" means a coating sprayed on the exterior and/or interior of a welded, cemented or soldered seam to protect the exposed metal.

"Two-piece can exterior-end coating" means a coating applied to the exterior bottom end of a can to reduce the coefficient of friction and to provide protection to the metal.

 

R307-352-4. Emission Standards.

Each owner or operator shall not apply coatings with a VOC content in excess of the amounts specified in Table 1 or shall use an add-on control device as specified in R307-352-6.
