Aircraft Protective Services Inc. is involved in chromium and sulfuric acid anodizing and spray coating 

of aerospace aluminum and steel parts. The 2 Emission Units of the facility consist of coating in spray 

booths and drying of coated parts in an oven, and cleaning and anodizing of aluminum and steel parts in 

chromium and sulfuric acid baths. The spray coating and drying unit consists of 3 Emission Points which 

are associated with 2 spray booths and one drying oven. The cleaning and anodizing unit consists of 2 

Emission Points which are assocaited with emissions from chromic and sulfuric acid anodizing tanks. 

The spray coating and drying operations are subject to 6 NYCRR Part 228 (Surface Coating Processes) 

and 6 NYCRR Part 212 (General Process Emission Sources) regulations that require the utilization of 

compliant paints and emissions of toxics below the acceptable concentrations into the atmosphere. 

Emissions from the chromic acid anodizing tank are regulated under 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart N (National 

Emission Standards for Chromium Emissions from Hard and Decorative Chromium Electroplating and 

Chromium Anodizing Tanks) and testing for these emissions is required shortly after the issuance of the 

State Facility Permit. Emissions from the sulfuric acid anodizing tank are regulated by 6 NYCRR Part 

212 (General Process Emission Sources).

found in 40CFR63.342(f)(3)(i) (A) through (E).

If the O&M plan fails to address an event that meets the 

characteristics of a malfunction at the time the plan is 

initially developed, the owner/operator shall revise the 

O&M plan within 45 days to include procedures for 

operating and maintaining the process equipment, add-on 

air pollution control device, or monitoring equipment 

during similar malfunctions, and a program for corrective 

actions taken for such events.

If actions taken by the owner/operator during periods of 

malfunction are inconsistent with the O&M plan, the 

actions taken shall be recorded and reported by phone 

within 2 working days after commencing actions 

inconsistent with the plan. This report shall be followed 

by a letter within 7 working days after the end of the 

event.

The owner/operator shall keep the written O&M plan on 

record to be available for inspection by the Administrator

until the source is no longer subject to Subpart N. In
