SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION

	Ms. Teal opened the discussion by summarizing the status of the CTG,
including: EPA's current definition of the scope of the paper, film, and
foil source category; the affected source; EPA's plans to subcategorize
the pressure sensitive tape and label industry; and work practices.

	Mr. Hawes provided two handouts regarding the pressure sensitive tape
and label industry.  Mr. Hawes also provided a brief history of the
industry.  He indicated that almost all pressure sensitive tape and
label facilities are subject to the paper and other web coating (POWC)
rule.  According to Mr. Hawes, a 90 percent overall control efficiency
is the best practice and is very workable by facilities in the industry.
 Mr. Hawes stated that the work practices being considered by EPA
seemed reasonable.  According to Mr. Hawes, North Carolina title V
permits include miscellaneous VOC rules which have regular monthly
observations and work practices.

	Mr. Hawes stated that new sources are not likely because the North
American market is not growing.
