EPA is approving State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of New Hampshire. This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act. EPA is approving the revisions to the New Hampshire State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of New Hampshire on December 21, 1992, July 10, 1995, June 28, 1996, October, 24, 1996 and December 9, 1996. These SIP revisions consist of source specific VOC RACT determinations for L.W. Packard and Company, Textile Tapes Corporation, and Kalwall Corporation. They also consist of revisions to the State's volatile organic compound (VOC) regulations in Chapter Env-A 1204 (but not including section 1204.06), certain testing and monitoring requirements in Chapter Env-A 800, and recordkeeping and reporting requirements in Chapter Env-A 900, all of which require the implementation of reasonably available control technology (RACT) for certain sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as required by the Clean Air Act. These regulations are applicable in the entire State of New Hampshire and are required pursuant to sections 182(b)(2) and 184(b)(1)(B) of the Clean Air Act. EPA has evaluated the RACT plans and the revisions of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990. EPA is also finalizing a limited approval on section Env-A 1204.27.
