NR 422.143(1)(a)1.
1. The facility has actual VOC emissions from all lithographic printing presses, including related lithographic cleaning activities and fountain solution use at the facility, before consideration of controls, equal to or greater than 3 tons on a 12-consecutive month rolling basis.
NR 422.143(1)(a)2.a.
a. The facility is located in Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, or Waukesha County.
NR 422.143(1)(a)2.b.

c. The facility is located in any area designated as a moderate, serious, severe, or extreme ozone nonattainment area.
NR 422.143(1)(a)2.d.
d. The facility is located in any area formerly designated as a moderate, serious, severe, or extreme ozone nonattainment area that has subsequently been redesignated to attainment, except for any facility subject to s.
NR 422.142.
NR 422.143(1)(am)
(am) When determining the VOC emissions for applicability under this subsection, the VOC emissions shall include the emissions from the use of inks, fountain solutions, and cleaning solutions, as defined in s.
NR 422.02 (14m).
NR 422.143(1m)

Retention factors and capture efficiencies. For purposes of determining VOC emissions from offset lithographic printing operations, the following retention factors and capture efficiencies may be used:
NR 422.143(1m)(a)
(a) A 20% VOC retention factor for heatset inks printed on absorptive substrates, meaning 80% of the VOC in the ink is emitted during the printing process and is available for capture and control by an add-on pollution control device.
NR 422.143(1m)(b)
(b) A 95% VOC retention factor for sheet-fed and non-heatset web inks printed on absorptive substrates, meaning 5% of the VOC in the ink is emitted during the printing process.
NR 422.143(1m)(c)
(c) A 50% VOC retention factor for cleaning solution VOC in shop towels where the composite partial vapor pressure of the VOC in the cleaning solution is less than 10 mm of Hg at 20
