Contact: Lee Burkleca 614-728-1344
Ohio EPA, with the assistance of the Ohio Department of Development's Office of Energy Efficiency, has developed a guidance manual to assist those interested in applying for and obtaining NOx allowances from the Energy Efficiency/Renewable Energy and Innovative Technology set-asides. These set-asides are provided in Ohio's NOx Budget Trading Program rules in Ohio Administrative Code ("OAC") Chapter 3745-14 and will be available for projects during the 2006 ozone season, May 1 through September 30.
If you have questions about the program or the application process, please contact Lee Burkleca at 614-728-1344.
Drafts and Notices for this Chapter
October 22, 2009: Ohio EPA has proposed amended Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) rules 3745-14-01 and 3745-14-06 to the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR). These rules are related to Ohio’s NOx SIP call (NOx Budget Trading program) for the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) during the ozone season from electrical generation units and large industrial boilers. The primary purpose of these amendments is to facilitate the transition of affected units from the NOx SIP call into the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) program (OAC Chapter 3745-109) and to begin the process of ‘sunsetting” the parts of OAC Chapter 3745-14 which will no longer be needed as a result of Ohio’s CAIR rules beginning in 2009.
The rules are being proposed after a 30 day comment period which ended on September 11, 2009, please see the Responsive Summary of comments to view Ohio EPA's Responses. We are holding a public hearing on the rule at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, December 1, 2009 in Conference Room C, 6th Floor, Ohio EPA, Lazarus Government Center, 50 W. Town St., Suite 700, Columbus, Ohio and requesting comments by December 1, 2009 on the rule language. Please see the rule language, synopsis, and the public hearing notice (all linked below) for information on the rule changes and how to submit comments.

November 20, 2009: Ohio EPA has proposed amended Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) rule 3745-21-22, "Control of volatile organic compound emissions from offset lithographic printing and letterpress printing facilities" to the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR). The rule contains the requirements for reasonably available control technologies (RACT) for the control of VOC emissions from stationary sources (lithographic and letterpress printing). The purpose of this rule is to aid in the reduction of VOC emissions, an ozone precursor, from stationary sources so that the measured ozone levels in the Cleveland/Akron combined metropolitan statistical area will be able to achieve the applicable 8-hour ground level ozone standard of 0.075 parts per million (ppm), as established by U.S. EPA.
The rule is being proposed after a 30 day comment period which ended on September 14, 2009, please see the Responsive Summary of comments (linked below) to view Ohio EPA's Responses. We are holding a public hearing on the rule at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, December 30, 2009 in Conference Room B, 6th Floor, Ohio EPA, Lazarus Government Center, 50 W. Town St., Suite 700, Columbus, Ohio and requesting comments by December 30, 2009 on the rule language. Please see the rule language, synopsis, and the public hearing notice (all linked below) for information on the rule changes and how to submit comments.
November 3, 2009: Ohio EPA has refiled new Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) rule 3745-21-25, "Control of VOC emissions from reinforced plastic composites production operations " with the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR). The rule establishes regulations for the control of volatile organic compound emissions from reinforced plastic composites production operations. The new rule is based on the MACT rule for reinforced plastic composites production operations (Subpart WWWW of 40 CFR Part 63) and will apply statewide.
The rule was originally pulled from the rulemaking process to address comments received on the proposed rule language. Please see the refiled rule language and responsive summary to comments document, both linked below, for details regarding changes made to the proposed rule language. **Please note, the refiled rules are not effective at this time. They will become effective at a future date after completion of a review by the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR). Please watch this website for future developments.

Drafts and Notices for this Chapter
October 23, 2009: Ohio EPA has completed draft amendments for Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Rule 3745-108-07, “Monitoring and Reporting.” This rule is part of the Clean Air Mercury Rules (CAMR) program. The federal CAMR program was vacated by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, New Jersey v. Environmental Protection Agency, 51 7 F.3d 574 (D.C. Cir. 2008) in 2008. Originally, Ohio EPA extended the state deadline for affected parties to submit certifications of the operation of, and quarterly reports for their mercury monitoring programs to January 1, 2011 under the assumption that USEPA would be developing a replacement program. Due to the lack of progress on a replacement by USEPA, Ohio EPA has now concluded that an additional delay to January 1, 2013 is necessary. It should be noted that if sections of Ohio’s current CAMR program can be incorporated into any future federal mercury program they will which is the reasoning behind extending the deadline, otherwise Ohio EPA will rescind the entire Chapter (OAC chapter 3745-108).
We are accepting comments on the amended rule language through Tuesday, November 24, 2009.
