    HISTORY
    First Notice of Comment Period: December 27, 2006, Indiana Register (DIN: 20061227-IR-326060603FNA).
    Continuation of First Notice of Comment Period: June 27, 2007, Indiana Register (DIN: 20070627-IR-326060603FCA).

    CITATIONS AFFECTED: 326 IAC 8-10.


    SUBJECT MATTER AND BASIC PURPOSE OF RULEMAKING
    Basic Purpose and Background
    Under the Clean Air Act, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) is responsible for: (1) establishing ambient air quality standards to protect the public health and welfare; (2) determining which areas of the country have air quality that does not meet those standards; and (3) overseeing states' efforts to develop and implement plans to improve air quality in those areas. The Clean Air Act establishes basic requirements and procedures for the clean air planning process, but U.S. EPA issues more specific guidance to help states, citizens, businesses, and local governments comply with the Clean Air Act's requirements. U.S. EPA also promulgates rules to meet the Clean Air Act requirements.
    In the April 30, 2004, Federal Register (69 FR 23858), the U.S. EPA designated 23 Indiana counties as nonattainment for the 8-hour ozone standard. Since that time, all monitoring locations in Indiana have met the 8-hr ozone standard and 21 of those counties have been redesignated to attainment. IDEM continues to work with U.S. EPA to have Lake County and Porter County redesignated to attainment. Additionally, since the Cincinnati, Ohio, metropolitan area has not yet attained the 8-hour standard, IDEM has prepared a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision for Lawrenceburg Township in Dearborn County, which addresses its contribution to Cincinnati's ozone nonattainment.
    While all monitored portions of Indiana have attained the current 8-hour ozone standard, it is prudent for Indiana to consider implementing additional cost-effective measures to reduce emissions that contribute to the formation of ozone. The reasons for considering additional reductions include: the narrow margin between Indiana's current air quality and the new lower 8-hr ozone standard of 0.075 parts per million (ppm) that the U.S. EPA issued on March 12, 2008, and the concerns expressed by other states that emissions from Indiana are contributing to their inability to attain the standard (the Clean Air Act provides a legal mechanism for those states to require Indiana to reduce Indiana's potential contribution to nonattainment in other states).
    Because volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contribute to the formation of ozone, it is important to control VOCs in order to comply with the 8-hour ozone standard. In an effort to assist states in the Midwest Regional Planning Organization (MRPO), the Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium (LADCO) has been working with states to identify and recommend regional controls that would help states achieve attainment for the 8-hour ozone standard. The MRPO includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
    Indiana has been working with the other MRPO states on a suite of measures provided by LADCO to be considered by each of these states to reduce our mutual contribution to ozone formation in the upper Midwest and eastern United States. These measures include regulation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from: automotive refinishing (the subject of this notice); architectural and industrial maintenance coatings; consumer and commercial products; organic solvent degreasers; and stage 1 vapor recovery from gasoline dispensing facilities. In general, these proposed regulations would expand regulations that already exist in parts of Indiana and other states to cover all similar emissions from each of the participating states. The potential benefits of this coordinated action include improved Indiana and regional air quality that may prevent future nonattainment designations, an improved margin of safety between current Indiana air quality and the current standard, and the reduced likelihood of the need to impose more costly emission reduction measures in the future.
    Automobile refinishing includes the application of coatings subsequent to original equipment manufacture. Vehicles included in this category are passenger cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, and other mobile equipment capable of being driven or drawn on the highway. The steps involved in automobile refinishing include surface preparation, surface painting, and equipment cleaning. Emissions occur at all of these stages due to evaporation of the solvents in the primers, paints and other coatings, and in the cleaning solutions. The automobile refinishing rule at 326 IAC 8-10 affects automobile refinishing operations performed in the following types of shops: auto body and repair shops; new car dealer repair and paint shops; fleet operator repair and paint shops; and any other facility that coats vehicles under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 7532, as well as manufacturers and distributors of automobile refinishing coatings. Besides VOC content limits, 326 IAC 8-10 also includes work practice standards and training requirements.
    Indiana's existing automobile refinishing rule at 326 IAC 8-10 was promulgated in 1995 to meet the 1990 Clean Air Act "15% plan" requirements by November 15, 1996. The rule was based on Option 1 in the April 1994 automobile refinishing Alternative Control Technology (ACT) document issued by the U.S. EPA. Indiana's current automobile refinishing rule applies to four counties: Clark, Floyd, Lake, and Porter. These counties had been 1-hour ozone nonattainment areas and the rule was promulgated to assist bringing these counties into attainment.
    The federal automobile refinishing rule, 40 CFR 59, Subpart B-National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Automobile Refinish Coatings, became effective on September 11, 1998 (63 FR 48806). Under the federal rule, automobile refinishing coatings and coating components sold or distributed in the United States after January 11, 1999, are subject to the federal requirements. The federal rule provides VOC content limits for automobile refinish coatings, container labeling requirements, methods to determine compliance with emission limits, and reporting requirements for the manufacturers and importers of automobile refinish coatings or coating components.
    Automobile refinishing operations across Indiana must already comply with the federal rule. For operations not currently covered by the state rule, extending the existing state rule to the entire state would require work practice standards for operations not currently covered by the state rule. LADCO estimates that extending the existing Indiana automobile refinishing rule to the entire state will reduce VOCs by approximately 25% from 2002 actual emissions or 2,528 tons per year. A review of data specific to Indiana indicates a reduction of approximately 9% beyond the reductions from the federal rule is more realistic. However, an informal survey of automobile refinishing operations in Central Indiana conducted by IDEM in 2005 showed that the high-volume low-pressure (HVLP) equipment is already in use by most operations because of the increased efficiency, safety, and overall cost savings of using the newer technology. The operations contacted have also already implemented improved work practices.
    In order to remove obsolete language IDEM is also proposing to repeal 326 IAC 8-10-8 and any additional language in 326 IAC 8-10 regarding control system operation, maintenance, and monitoring. IDEM's rule 326 IAC 8-10 was promulgated in 1995, approximately three years before the federal automobile refinishing rule became effective. Owners or operators of a refinishing facility subject to 326 IAC 8-10 have the option of limiting emissions of VOCs from refinishing operations by one of the following means: (1) by using coatings or surface preparation products that meet the VOC content limits in 326 IAC 8-10-4; (2) by employing a control system; or (3) by using a combination of coatings and control system measures. When the federal automobile refinishing rule became effective on September 11, 1998, all coatings or surface preparation products nationwide were required to meet VOC content limits that were identical to IDEM's VOC content limits in 326 IAC 8-10-4. Since all coatings or surface preparation products must comply with the federal rule, current rule language providing an option of a control system to limit VOC emissions from coatings or surface preparation products is now obsolete.
    In combination with similar efforts in the other MRPO states, extending the automobile refinishing rules to all Indiana counties will contribute to a regional control of VOC that will assist many counties to reach and maintain attainment for the 8-hour ozone standard. Upon completion, this rule will be submitted to U.S. EPA for approval into the SIP and, along with other regional and state measures, will guide air pollution control efforts in Indiana.
    IC 13-14-9-4 Identification of Restrictions and Requirements Not Imposed under Federal Law
    The following element of the draft rule imposes either a restriction or a requirement on persons to whom the draft rule applies that is "not imposed under federal law" (NIFL element or elements).
    The following information is provided with each NIFL element:
    (1) The environmental circumstance or hazard dictating the imposition of the NIFL element in order to protect human health and the environment in Indiana and examples in which federal law is inadequate to provide this protection for Indiana.
    (2) The estimated fiscal impact and expected benefits of the NIFL element, based on the extent to which the NIFL element exceeds the requirements of federal law.
    (3) The availability for public inspection of all materials relied on by IDEM in the development of the NIFL element including, if applicable: health criteria, analytical methods, treatment technology, economic impact data, environmental assessment data, analyses of methods to effectively implement the proposed rule, and other background data.
    NIFL Element A: Requiring work practice standards in parts of the state not already covered by the rule. The applicability provisions in 326 IAC 8-10-1 will require all automobile refinishing operations in Indiana to comply with the entire rule, including the work practice standards in 326 IAC 8-10-5, the compliance procedures in 326 IAC 8-10-6, the test procedures in 326 IAC 8-10-7, and the record keeping and reporting requirements of 326 IAC 8-10-9.
    (1) The application of certain VOC control measures to all counties in Indiana will provide a general benefit to nonattainment areas. This rule is part of a larger group of VOC control rules that have been agreed to by the LADCO states to address regional ozone and particulate matter nonattainment.
    (2) The fiscal impact of compliance with the work practice standards is expected to be minimal because most affected operations already follow the standards for increased efficiency, safety, and cost savings.
    (3) LADCO evaluated potential reductions from various regulatory options that could be adopted on a multistate basis in the region. LADCO calculates that extending the current automobile refinishing rules statewide will reduce VOC emissions in the five state MRPO region from 25,319 tons per year to 19,126 tons per year. The estimated control cost for these measures is $1,354 per ton. The information used for the evaluation is presented in a white paper on Auto Refinishing at:
    http://www.ladco.org/Regional_Air_Quality.html
    Potential Fiscal Impact
    Though the OTC estimated a cost of $1,354 per ton of VOC reduced based on the use of HVLP spray guns and a gun cleaning system, Indiana's rule would not require this equipment, but would allow its use as an alternative to meeting the specific VOC limits. In addition, the VOC limits in Indiana's existing rule are comparable to the existing federal rule, 40 CFR 59, that all Indiana automobile refinishers and manufacturers of the applicable coatings must comply with now. An informal survey of automobile refinishing operations in Central Indiana in 2005 showed that the HVLP equipment is already in use by most operations because of the increased efficiency, safety, and overall cost savings of using the newer technology. IDEM believes this is true throughout the state and that most of these operations have probably also already begun using improved work practices comparable to those specified in the existing state rule to increase safety and maintain the equipment. Therefore, because automobile refinishers already must comply with the federal VOC limits and because most already use the work practices in the existing Indiana rule, IDEM anticipates that the fiscal impact of this alternative is minimal to the regulated community.
