NR 466.01(1)(a)1.
1. Each facility that is a major source of hazardous air pollutants at which publication rotogravure, product and packaging rotogravure, or wide-web flexographic printing presses are operated.
NR 466.01(1)(a)2.
2. Each facility at which publication rotogravure, product and packaging rotogravure, or wide-web flexographic printing presses are operated for which the owner or operator, for purposes of establishing the facility to be an area source with respect to this chapter, chooses to commit to, and meets the following criteria:
NR 466.01(1)(a)2.a.
a. Use less than 9.1 Mg (10 tons) per each rolling 12-month period of each HAP at the facility, including materials used for source categories or purposes other than printing and publishing.
NR 466.01(1)(a)2.b.
b. Use less than 22.7 Mg (25 tons) per each rolling 12-month period of any combination of HAPs at the facility, including materials used for source categories or purposes other than printing and publishing.
NR 466.01(1)(c)
(c) Each facility for which the owner or operator chooses to commit to and meets the criteria in
par. (a) 2. may exclude, for the purpose of determining compliance with the usage restrictions in
par. (a) 2., material used in routine janitorial or facility grounds maintenance, personal uses by employees or other persons, the use of products for the purpose of maintaining electric, propane, gasoline and diesel powered motor vehicles operated by the facility, and the use of HAP contained in intake water, used for processing or noncontact cooling, or intake air, used either as compressed air or for combustion.
NR 466.01(1)(d)
(d) Each facility for which the owner or operator chooses to commit to and meets the criteria in
par. (a) 2. to become an area source, but subsequently exceeds either of the thresholds in
par. (a) 2. for any rolling 12-month period, without first obtaining and complying with other limits that keep its potential to emit HAP below major source levels, shall be considered in violation of its commitment for that 12-month period and shall be considered a major source of HAP beginning the first month after the end of the 12-month period in which either of the HAP-use thresholds was exceeded. As a major source of HAP, each facility is subject to this chapter as provided under
par. (a) 1. and is no longer eligible to use the provisions of
par. (a) 2., even if in subsequent 12-month periods the facility uses less HAP than the thresholds in
par. (a) 2.
NR 466.01(1)(e)
(e) An owner or operator of an affected source subject to
par. (a) 2. who chooses to no longer be subject to
par. (a) 2. shall notify the department of the change. If, by no longer being subject to
par. (a) 2., the facility at which the affected source is located becomes a major source, the owner or operator shall continue to comply with the HAP usage provisions of
par. (a) 2. until the source is in compliance with all relevant requirements for a new MACT source or an existing source under this chapter.
NR 466.01(1)(f)
(f) Nothing in this subsection is intended to preclude a facility from establishing area source status by limiting its potential to emit through other appropriate mechanisms.
NR 466.01(1)(g)
(g) This chapter does not apply to research or laboratory equipment.
NR 466.01(2)
(2) Purpose. This chapter is adopted under ss.
285.27 (2) and
285.65, Stats., to establish emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for the printing and publishing industry in order to protect air quality.
NR 466.01 Note
Note: This chapter is based on the federal regulations contained in
40 CFR part 63 Subpart KK, created May 30, 1996.

NR 466.015 Designation of affected sources. NR 466.015(1)(1) The affected sources subject to this chapter are all of the following:
NR 466.015(1)(a)
(a) All of the publication rotogravure presses and all associated equipment, including proof presses, cylinder and parts cleaners, ink and solvent mixing and storage equipment, and solvent recovery equipment at a facility.
NR 466.015(1)(b)
(b) All of the product and packaging rotogravure or wide-web flexographic printing presses at a facility plus any other equipment at that facility which the owner or operator chooses to include in accordance with
sub. (2), except any of the following:
NR 466.015(1)(b)2.
2. Any product and packaging rotogravure or wide-web flexographic press which is used primarily for coating, laminating or other operations which the owner or operator chooses to exclude, provided that the owner or operator maintains records as required under
s. NR 466.11 (6), and the sum of the total mass of inks, coatings, varnishes, adhesives, primers, solvents, thinners, reducers and other materials applied by the press using product and packaging rotogravure print stations and wide-web flexographic print stations in each month never exceeds 5% by weight of the total mass of inks, coatings, varnishes, adhesives, primers, solvents, thinners, reducers and other materials applied by the press in that month, including all inboard and outboard stations.
NR 466.015(2)
(2) The owner or operator of an affected source, as defined in
sub. (1) (b), may elect to include in that affected source stand-alone coating equipment subject to all of the following provisions:
NR 466.015(2)(a)
