Abstract
In this action, EPA is approving a revision to the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP) to add Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) capture efficiency testing procedures to the existing VOC emission control regulations. Control system capture efficiency requirements are components of several State VOC rules, particularly the rules covering the control of VOC emissions from surface coating and graphic arts sources. The existing State VOC rules specify minimum capture efficiencies for some source categories, and some sources may seek VOC emission reduction credits through increases in capture efficiency above State-specified minimums. Reducing VOC emissions is critical for attaining the 1-hour ozone standard in certain ozone nonattainment areas.
