     The following is an abstract of a longer document, presenting
Reasonably Available Control  Technology (RACT) for Solvent Metal
Cleaning.  In order to limit .the size of the Guideline Series, the
actual RACT documents have not been incorporated, but rather, sent
out under separate cover to those agencies receiving the Guideline
Series.  Agencies and individuals may request a copy of this document
by providing the title and OAQPS identification number to the appropriate
Regional Office Librarian.

     Title:  Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Solvent Metal
             Cleaning

   Authors:  Jeffrey L. Shumaker, Emission Standards and Engineering
             Division, OAQPS
             John C. Bellinger, formerly with Emission Standards  and
             Engineering Division, OAQPS

      Date:  November 1977

 OAQPS No.:  1.2-079

   Summary:

          This report provides the necessary guidance to control
     emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from solvent metal
     cleaning operations.   Emissions are characterized and Reasonably
     Available Control Technology (RACT) is defined for each of the three
     major categories of solvent metal cleaners:  cold cleaners,  open
     top vapor degreasers, and conveyorized degreasers.  Information on
     the cost of control,  environmental impact and enforcement issues
     is also included.
