Notice of Hearing

Natural Resources

(Environmental Protection-Air Pollution Control)

[CR 05-055]

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to ss. 227.11 (2) (a) and 285.11, Stats., interpreting s. 285.11 (6), Stats., the Department of Natural Resources will hold a public hearing on revisions to ss. NR 400.02 (162) and 424.05, Wis. Adm. Code, relating to the definition of “Volatile Organic Compounds" or “VOC" and VOC emission control requirements for yeast manufacturing facilities. The Department is proposing the revision to the definition of "VOC" in s. NR 400.02 (162) to be consistent with EPA's federal definition at 40 CFR 51.100(s). The revision includes adding four compounds to the list of compounds excluded from the definition of VOC and exclusion of one further compound from the definition but only for purposes of VOC emission limitation or content requirements and not for purposes of all recordkeeping, emission reporting, and inventory requirements. The Department is also proposing to revise the VOC emission control requirements for yeast manufacturing in s. NR 424.05 to address an inconsistency with requirements in the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for yeast manufacturing at 40 CFR part 63 Subpart CCCC.

NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that pursuant to s. 227.114, Stats., the proposed rule may have an impact on small businesses. The initial regulatory flexibility analysis is as follows:

a. Types of small businesses affected: facilities using t-butyl acetate or products that contain t-butyl acetate and emit VOCs in excess of 6000 pounds per year

b. Description of reporting and bookkeeping procedures required: Identical to requirements for compliance with the current rule

c. Description of professional skills required: Identical to requirement for compliance with the current rule

The Department's Small Business Regulatory Coordinator may be contacted at:

[e-mail] or by calling [phone].

NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that the Department has made a preliminary determination that this action does not involve significant adverse environmental effects and does not need an environmental analysis under ch. NR 150, Wis. Adm. Code. However, based on the comments received, the Department may prepare an environmental analysis before proceeding with the proposal. This environmental review document would summarize the Department's consideration of the impacts of the proposal and reasonable alternatives.

NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that the hearing will be held on:

Monday, July 11, 2005 at 1:00 p.m.
