This information request is to be completed for facilities 

that manufacture reinforced plastic composites. The source 

category is defined as the manufacture of products using 

reinforced and/or filled plastic resin, including "prepreg" 

or molded products. Fill out this information request as 

completely as possible from existing information sources. 

No additional monitoring or emissions testing is required 

by your company to respond to this request. 

Attachment 1 presents the list of hazardous air pollutants 

(HAP's) listed in Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. We are 

interested in obtaining information regarding each compound 

identified as a HAP that is used in or emitted by any 

operations, including fugitive emission sources, occurring 

from the manufacture of reinforced plastic composites. 

If you have any questions regarding this request, contact 

Ms. Madeleine Strum of the EPA at (919) 541-2383 or Mr. 

Greg LaFlam of PES at (919) 941-0333.
