Section 219.402  Applicability

a)         Except as otherwise provided in Section 219.401, the limitations of Section 219.401 of this Subpart apply to all flexographic and rotogravure printing lines at a subject source.  All sources with flexographic and/or rotogravure printing lines are subject sources unless:

1)         Total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM from all flexographic and rotogravure printing lines (including solvents used for cleanup operations associated with flexographic and rotogravure printing lines), at the source never exceed 90.7 Mg (100 tons) per calendar year before the application of capture systems and control devices, or

2)         A federally enforceable permit or SIP revision for all flexographic and rotogravure printing lines at a source requires the owner or operator to limit production or capacity of these printing lines to reduce total VOM emissions from all flexographic and rotogravure printing lines to 90.7 Mg (100 tons) or less per calendar year before the application of capture systems and control devices.

b)         The limitations of Section 219.401(d) shall apply to all owners or operators of flexographic or rotogravure printing lines that print flexible packaging, or that print flexible packaging and non-flexible packaging on the same line, at a source where the combined emissions of VOM from all flexographic and rotogravure printing lines total 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) or more (including solvents used for cleanup operations associated with flexographic and rotogravure printing lines), in the absence of air pollution control equipment.

c)         Upon achieving compliance with this Subpart, the flexographic and rotogravure printing lines are not required to meet Subpart G (Section 219.301 or 219.302 of this Part). Flexographic and rotogravure printing lines exempt from this Subpart are subject to Subpart G (Section 219.301 or 219.302 of this Part).  Rotogravure or flexographic equipment used for both roll printing and paper coating is subject to this Subpart.

d)         Once subject to the limitations of Section 219.401 of this Part, a flexographic or rotogravure printing line is always subject to the limitations of Section 219.401 of this Part.

e)         Any owner or operator of any flexographic or rotogravure printing line that is exempt from any of the limitations of Section 219.401 of this Part because of the criteria in this Section is subject to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements specified in Section 219.404(b) and (f) of this Part, as applicable.
