Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the State Air Pollution Control Board intends to consider amending the following regulations: 9VAC5-40, Existing Stationary Sources (Rev. D09). The purpose of the proposed action is to adopt new standards for the control of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from industrial solvent cleaning operations, and miscellaneous industrial adhesive application processes within the Northern Virginia VOC Emissions Control Area. This action is being taken to allow Virginia to meet its obligation to implement control measures in areas designated as nonattainment under the 0.08 parts per million (ppm) eight-hour ozone standard. It will contribute to the reduction of ozone air pollution, and thereby improve public health and welfare.

The agency does not intend to hold a public hearing on the proposed action after publication in the Virginia Register.

Statutory Authority: § 10.1-1308 of the Code of Virginia; federal Clean Air Act (§§ 110, 111, 123, 129, 171, 172 and 182); 40 CFR Parts 51 and 60.

Public Comment Deadline: November 30, 2009.
