PURPOSE: The purpose of this proposed rulemaking is to update incorporation by reference information, add definitions specific to this rule, remove the unnecessary use of restrictive words, and make administrative updates. The evidence supporting the need for this proposed rulemaking, per 536.016, RSMo, is 536.175 RSMo; and Executive Order 17-03 Red Tape Reduction Review and related comments.
PURPOSE: This rule restricts volatile organic compound emissions from lithographic and letterpress printing operations in the St. Louis 1997 eight (8)-hour ozone nonattainment area.
PUBLISHER'S NOTE: The secretary of state has determined that the publication of the entire text of the material which is incorporated by reference as a portion of this rule would be unduly cumbersome or expensive. This material as incorporated by reference in this rule shall be maintained by the agency at its headquarters and shall be made available to the public for inspection and copying at no more than the actual cost of reproduction. This note applies only to the reference material. The entire text of the rule is printed here.
The dryer pressure shall be maintained below the pressure of the press room at all times while the press is operating. Continuous dryer air flow monitoring is not required.
