Section 218.405   Lithographic Printing:  Applicability

a)         Until March 15, 1996, the limitations of Section 218.406 of this Subpart apply to all heatset web offset lithographic printing lines (including solvents used for cleanup operations associated with the heatset web offset lithographic printing line(s)) at a source subject to the requirements of this Subpart.  All sources with heatset web offset lithographic printing lines are sources subject to the requirements of this Subpart unless:

1)         Total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM from all heatset web offset lithographic printing lines (including solvents used for cleanup operations associated with the heatset web offset lithographic printing line(s)) at the source never exceed 90.7 Mg (100 tons) per calendar year in the absence of air pollution control equipment; or

2)         A federally enforceable permit or SIP revision for all heatset web offset lithographic printing line(s) at a source requires the owner or operator to limit production or capacity of these printing line(s) to reduce total VOM emissions from all heatset web offset lithographic printing line(s) to 90.7 Mg (100 tons) per calendar year or less in the absence of air pollution control equipment.

b)         Any owner or operator of any heatset web offset lithographic printing line that is exempt from the limitations in Section 218.406 of this Subpart because of the criteria in subsection (a) of this Section shall be subject to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements in Section 218.406(b)(1) of this Subpart.

c)         On and after March 15, 1996, every owner or operator of lithographic printing line(s) is subject to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements in Section 218.411 of this Subpart.

d)         On and after March 15, 1996, Sections 218.407 through 218.410 of this Subpart shall apply to:

1)         All owners or operators of heatset web offset lithographic printing line(s) unless:

A)        Total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM from all heatset web offset lithographic printing lines (including solvents used for cleanup operations associated with heatset web offset lithographic printing lines) at the source never exceed 90.7 Mg (100 tons) per calendar year before the application of capture systems and control devices.  To determine a source's total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM for the purposes of this subsection, the owner or operator shall use the calculations set forth in Section 218.406(b)(1)(A)(ii) of this Subpart; or

B)        Federally enforceable permit conditions or SIP revision for all heatset web offset lithographic printing line(s) at the source requires the owner or operator to limit production or capacity of these printing line(s) to total VOM emissions of 90.7 Mg/yr (100 TPY) or less, before the application of capture systems and control devices;

2)         All owners or operators of heatset web offset, non-heatset web offset, or sheet-fed offset lithographic printing line(s), unless the combined emissions of VOM from all lithographic printing line(s) at the source (including solvents used for cleanup operations associated with the lithographic printing line(s)) never exceed 45.5 kg/day (100 lbs/day), as determined in accordance with Section 218.411(a)(1)(B), before the application of capture systems and control devices.

e)         If a lithographic printing line at a source is or becomes subject to one or more of the limitations in Sections 218.406 or 218.407 of this Subpart, the lithographic printing line(s) at the source are always subject to the applicable provisions of this Subpart.
