    62-296.513Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products

    The Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Air Resource Management hereby gives notice:

    A Final Order Granting Variance was issued under Section 120.542, F.S., from the volatile organic compound (VOC) reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements of Rule 62-296.513, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), the Surface Coating Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products (MMPP) RACT Rule. The Final Order Granting Variance was issued for Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company located at 9300 28th Street North, Pinellas Park, Florida, in Pinellas County on January 23, 2017. The Petition for Variance was received by the Department on December 12, 2016. Notice of receipt of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Register on December 20, 2016. The Final Order Granting Variance requires the petitioner to employ the control techniques outlined in EPAs Aerospace Control Technique Guidelines (CTG) (EPA-453/R-97-004) in lieu of complying with the VOC content limits contained in Rule 62-296.513, F.A.C, the MMPP RACT Rule. The Petitioner has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Department that compliance with the MMPP RACT Rule requirement will cause an unnecessary economic and technical hardship and may cause an adverse environmental impact as an add-on control device would be required that would produce secondary emissions of criteria pollutants such as NOx, CO, and PM due to the need for supplemental fuels while compliance with the applicable Aerospace CTG regulations is expected to yield lower facility-wide VOC emissions than the rule-specified technology for a considerably lower cost and without producing secondary emissions.
