86. SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR RULE 337 (GRAPHIC ARTS) AND SUBMITTAL AS REVISION TO THE ARIZONA STATE IMPL EMENTATION PLAN Pursuant to A.R.S. §49-479(b), set a public hearing for August 17, 2011 to solicit comments and consider the adoption of proposed amendments to Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations, Rule 337 (Graphic Arts) and to solicit comments on submitting the rule as a revision to the (Arizona) State Implementation Plan (SIP). Upon Board approval, this item will become effective August 17, 2011. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors adopted a revised version of Rule 337 (Graphic Arts) on January 12, 2011 (17 A.A.R. 324, March 4, 2011). Thereafter, it was discovered that certain technical corrections were required. The department is proposing to revise Rule 337 to clarify the rule and correct errors in a formula used in the rule as well as typographical and minor grammatical errors. These proposed technical corrections are not anticipated to change either the standards established by Rule 337, or the level of health protection provided to the community. In addition, the department is proposing to clarify language describing the applicability of certain compliance standards. In response to comments received, the department is also proposing to amend references to a temperature monitor device instead of a temperature control device; to insert amended language that was inadvertently omitted during the prior rulemaking; and to clarify the use of substrate retention factors for calculating VOC emissions.
