AEROSPACE MANUFACTURING AND REWORK INDUSTRY

INFORMATION REQUEST QUESTIONNAIRE

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE QUESTIONNAIRE

I. Introduction

This information request is to be completed for operations that comprise the Aerospace 

Manufacturing and Rework source category at your facility. The Aerospace 

Manufacturing and Rework source category includes any facility engaged, either in 

whole or in part, in the manufacture or rework of commercial, civil, or military aerospace

vehicles or components. Aerospace vehicle or component means any fabricated part, 

processed part, assembly of parts, or completed unit, with the exception of electronic 

components, of any aircraft including but not limited to airplanes, helicopters, missiles, 

rockets, and space vehicles.

The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes that describe 

facilities that may manufacture or rework aerospace vehicles, components, or parts are 

listed in Table 1 below. This table is not meant to be exhaustive; facilities classified 

under other NAICS codes may also be required to complete this information request if

they perform activities as defined above.

The reporting year for this information request is 2008. If you cannot provide 2008 

data, you must contact Kim Teal of the U.S. EPA at 919-541-5580 or teal.kim@epa.gov

prior to completing this information request to explain why 2008 data are not available 

and obtain permission to submit data from another year.

You must complete this information request for ALL manufacturing operations that 

constitute aerospace manufacturing and rework at your facility, regardless of whether 

the operations are presently regulated under the National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities

(aerospace NESHAP). For example, information must be submitted for the following 

operations even though they are not regulated by the aerospace NESHAP: chemical

milling, metal finishing, electrodeposition, composites processing, manufacture of 

aircraft transparencies, and wastewater operations, among others. Additionally, you 

must submit information for operations that may be exempted from regulation under the 

aerospace NESHAP including, but not limited to, low volume usage coatings, activities 

associated with the manufacture or rework of space vehicles, certain waterborne 

coatings, certain cleaning operations, certain primer and topcoat operations, and certain 

depainting operations. Finally, you must submit information where control requirements 

are not specified for operations under the aerospace NESHAP, including the use of 

specialty coatings, adhesives, adhesive bonding primers, or sealants. 

However, this information request does not apply to aerospace manufacturing or rework 

operations that are regulated under NESHAP other than the aerospace NESHAP, with 

the exception of halogenated solvent cleaning. For example, you should not include in 
3

your response information regarding chromium electroplating operations regulated 

under the chromium electroplating NESHAP.

You are not required to use the forms provided for your response, although we 

encourage you to do so as much as possible. If you have a compelling reason to 

provide the requested information in another format, you may do so. For example, 

facilities that use a large number of coatings and solvents may have existing 

spreadsheets or databases that contain information equivalent to Forms C-1 and E-3. 

You may submit such spreadsheets or databases (or other forms of data) instead of the 

forms provided. In this case, please do not submit your completed response using the

All fields in the forms that apply to your operations must be completed, even if you enter 

“N/A.”

For the purposes of this information request, all HAP concentrations and emissions are 

to be quantified. Do not report concentrations of emissions as “trace” or “minimal.” If a 

concentration is at or below the applicable method’s detection level, then provide 

information about the method (title and source), the calculated detection level in units of 

the applicable raw material or emissions concentration or mass rate, and the procedure 

for determining the detection level.

Throughout these forms, many of the cells for your data input have drop-down lists for 

you to choose an appropriate response. If the specific choice that characterizes your 

situation is not included in the list, please select “other” and provide a description of 

your situation in the comments section.

Form A-1. Parent Company Information

Complete this form to identify the parent company of this facility. This information will 

allow EPA to distinguish small businesses in any economic analysis that may be 

required. Section I, Question 8 (size of parent company) is an important factor that EPA 

will use to identify small businesses. Please note that the total of all full-time and parttime employees should be reported. This information is required for the parent 

company, not just this facility, all facilities within the parent company.

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (Public Law 96-354, September 19, 1980) (RFA) requires 

consideration of the impacts of regulations on small businesses. The major purpose of 

the RFA is to keep regulatory requirements from getting out of proportion to the scale of 

the businesses being regulated, without compromising the objectives of, in this case, 

the Clean Air Act (CAA). If a regulation is likely to have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small businesses, EPA may, to the extent allowed by the 

CAA, give special consideration to those small businesses when analyzing regulatory 

alternatives and drafting a regulation. The Small Business Administration uses 

employment ranges to separate businesses into "large" and "small" categories. The 

actual cutoff between large and small facilities is dependent on the NAICS code of the 

establishments in question. 
7

Form A-2. Facility Information

Provide the information requested in this form for this specific facility.

Section I

In Question 1, provide the actual address (not the mailing address) of this facility. You 

must also provide latitude and longitude coordinates for the facility. Latitude and 

longitude must be reported in decimal degrees to six decimal places.

Question 2 asks you to indicate whether this facility manufactures or reworks aerospace 

components or parts. If you answer “No” to this question, please provide an explanation 

in the Comments section of what activities are carried out at this facility and why you 

should not be considered an aerospace manufacturing or rework facility. If you answer 

“No” then you do not have to complete any other parts of this information request other 

than Forms A-1 and A-2.

Note that Question 2 is NOT asking whether the facility is subject to the aerospace 

NESHAP. If your facility performs any activities for the manufacture or rework 

aerospace components or parts, you should answer “Yes” to this question and complete 

the rest of the information request.

Question 3 - Enter all applicable North American Industrial Classification Codes 

(NAICS) that apply to the aerospace activities at this facility. NAICS codes may be 

found at http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/. Do not enter Standard Industrial 

Classification (SIC) codes.

Question 5 – Answer “Yes” or “No” whether this facility manufactures or reworks 

aerospace components or parts for each of the listed market segments.

Question 6 – Enter the typical operating schedule for this facility for the reporting year 

(2008). You may provide estimates if you do not track the hours/day and days/year the 

facility is in operation.

Section II

Provide the name and contact information for the technical contact for your response to 

this information request. The technical contact should be able to answer inquires from 

EPA concerning any information provided in your response.

Section III

Question 1 – Identify whether this facility is a major source of HAP emissions. Section 

112(a)(1) of the CAA defines a major source “as any stationary source or group of 

stationary sources located within a contiguous area and under common control that 

emits or has the potential to emit considering controls, in the aggregate,10 tons per year 
8

or more of any hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons per year or more of any combination 

of hazardous air pollutants.”

Question 2 – If you answer “No” to Question 1 of this section, specify whether the facility 

has a federally enforceable permit limitation to limit HAP emissions to less than the 

major source thresholds and, if so, identify any such limits.

Questions 3 and 4 – identify any non-aerospace products manufactured at this facility.

Question 5 – As part of this project, EPA may conduct air dispersion modeling of the 

emissions from facilities that respond to this information request. This modeling 

requires the input of the maximum hourly emissions from each emission point. 

However, we realize there are typically a large number of emission points at aerospace 

manufacturing and rework facilities, and determining the maximum hourly emissions 

from each and every emission point could be difficult and burdensome. Rather than 

asking for maximum hourly emissions for each emission point, we are instead 

requesting that you provide a single multiplier that we can use to scale up average 

hourly emissions (annual emissions divided by 8,760 hours/year) to maximum hourly 

emissions. We understand that a single multiplier may not be applicable to all 

operations at your facility. Please provide your best estimate of a multiplier that, overall, 

provides a general indication of the maximum hourly emissions for your facility. Based 

on the results of the air dispersion modeling, we may at a later time ask you to provide 

more specific information. 

We will determine average hourly emissions from the data you provide in your response 

to this information request. Therefore, you must provide a response to this question, 

even if the multiplier you provide is 1. You must also provide a description of how you 

determined the multiplier in the comments section of this form.
9

Form B-1. Spray Booth Information

This form has space for entering data for 10 spray booths. If you are providing data for 

more than 10 spray booths, please add additional columns as necessary.

Section I

side of the booth, or “Down Draft” if the airflow exits from the bottom of the booth.

Question 6 – For the reporting year, enter the average number of hours per day this 

booth is in operation.

Section II

Question 1 – From the drop-down list, select the type of particulate filter system used for 

this booth.

Question 2-3 – Enter the particulate control efficiency for the particulate filters, and

indicate how that efficiency was determined. The control efficiency should correspond 

to the coating operations typically carried out in this booth. For example, if a booth is 

typically used to apply primer to small parts using HVLP spray guns, then report the 

control efficiency that you believe best represents the control efficiency achieved for the 

overspray generated by this coating operation. You are not required to perform testing 

to determine the control efficiency. Use your best judgment based on the information 

available to you.

Section III

Question 1 – Enter the latitude and longitude coordinates for the location of the exhaust 

stack for this booth. The coordinates must be in decimal degrees to at least 6 decimal 

places.
10

Questions 2-5 – Enter the diameter and height of the exhaust stack in feet, temperature 

of the exhaust stream in degrees Fahrenheit, and the flow rate of the exhaust stream in 

actual cubic feet per minute.

Section IV

Complete this section if this spray booth is vented to a control device that reduces the 

amount of organic emissions.

Question 1 – Enter a unique identification number of your choosing for this control 

device. You must also complete a Form J for this control device and the identification 

number entered here must match the identification number entered in Form J.

Question 3-4 – Enter the capture efficiency for the organic emissions, and indicate how 

that efficiency was determined.
11

Form C-1 and C-2. Coatings

Use Form C-1 if you are reporting coating information in English units, or use Form C-2 

if you are reporting coating information in metric units. DO NOT complete both Form C1 and Form C-2.

This form has space for entering data for 20 coatings. If you are providing data for more 

than 20 coatings, please add additional columns as necessary. You may group similar 

coatings together and report them as a single coating, but the information you provide 

must be representative of all the coatings in the group.

Section I

Question 1 – Enter a unique identification number of your choosing for each coating.

Question 4 – Enter whether this coating is regulated under the aerospace NESHAP.

Question 5 – If you entered “Yes” for Question 4 of this section, select the coating type 

from the drop-down list. The coatings in the drop-down list are the only ones regulated 

under the aerospace NESHAP, so you must choose one of these coating types if you 

entered “Yes” for Question 4.

Question 6 – If you entered “No” for question 4 of this section, then the coating is a 

specialty coating. Choose the appropriate specialty coating type from the drop-down 

list. If you select “other,” you must provide a coating type in the comments section.

Section II

Some of the information requested in this section, such as specific HAP content, may 

be proprietary or undisclosed by the manufacturer. You are not required to perform 

testing to obtain the information to complete this form. Use readily available information 

from the manufacturer or supplier such as material safety data sheets or product data 

sheets. You may also consider contacting the manufacturer or supplier to determine if 

they can supply the requested information. If you are unable to obtain the requested 

information or believe that a coating may have HAP constituents that are not disclosed, 

you may make a note of this in the comments section. 

Question 1 – Enter the total volume of this coating that your facility used for all coating 

operations (e.g., all spray booths) for the reporting year.

Question 2 – Enter the requested physical property data for this coating. This 

information must be provided for the coating in its as-applied condition. Thus, multipart 

coatings and coatings that you modify prior to application should be reported as-applied.

Question 3 – Enter the name of each HAP (organic and inorganic) contained in this 

coating, the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Number for the HAP, and the mass 
12

fraction of the HAP in the as-applied coating. If you do not know the CAS Number, it is 

often provided on the material safety data sheet for the coating. You may also find CAS 

Numbers at 

http://iaspub.epa.gov/sor_internet/registry/substreg/home/overview/home.do. There are 

also various other Internet sources that provide CAS Numbers.

To avoid double counting, do not report the same HAP emissions under different CAS 

numbers or as different compounds. For example, do not report both “total chromium” 

and “hexavalent chromium” for a single chromium compound contained in a coating. 

The correct reporting method, particularly for chromium compounds, glycol ethers, and 

polycyclic organic matter, is to report the specific compound (e.g., strontium chromate, 

ethylene glycol dibutyl ether) rather than the general class of HAP (e.g., chromium 

compounds, glycol ethers).

This form has space for entering data for 5 HAP components of the coating. If this 

coating has more than 5 HAP components, please add rows as necessary.

Section III

For each spray booth in which this coating was applied during the reporting year, enter 

the booth identification number (must match the identification number provided on Form 

B-1), and the percent of the total usage of that coating applied in this booth. The sum of 

the percent usage by booth should equal 100 percent for each coating. If a portion of 

the coating was not applied in a spray booth, then the sum of the percent usage by 

booth will be less than 100 percent. In this case, provide details in the comments 

section of the non-spray booth areas where the coating was used including the latitude 

and longitude coordinates, and volume of coating used in these areas. If your facility 

does not maintain adequate records of the volume of coatings used by spray booth, 

provide an engineering estimate and note this in the comments section.

If a portion of a coating is applied outside of a spray booth, report this under “Application 

of Coating Outside of a Spray Booth.” Select whether the coating is spray applied or 

other than spray applied, and enter the percent of the total usage applied outside of a 

booth.

This form has space for entering coating usage for 10 spray booths. If this coating was 

applied in more than 10 spray booths, please add rows as necessary.

Question 9 - For the reporting year, enter the average number of hours per day and 

days per year this cleaning operation is in operation.

Section II

Question 1 – Enter the name of each HAP (organic and inorganic) emitted by this 

cleaning operation, the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Number for the HAP, and the 

annual emissions of the HAP from this cleaning operation. If you do not know the CAS 

Number, it is often provided on material safety data sheets. You may also find CAS 

Numbers at 

http://iaspub.epa.gov/sor_internet/registry/substreg/home/overview/home.do. There are 

also various other Internet sources that provide CAS Numbers.

To avoid double counting, do not report the same HAP emissions under different CAS 

Numbers or as different compounds. For example, do not report both “total chromium” 

and “hexavalent chromium” for a single chromium compound. The correct reporting 

method, particularly for chromium compounds, glycol ethers, and polycyclic organic 

matter, is to report the specific compound (e.g., strontium chromate, ethylene glycol 

dibutyl ether) rather than the general class of HAP (e.g., chromium compounds, glycol 

ethers).

This form has space for entering data for 5 HAPs. If this cleaning operation emits more 

than 5 HAPs, please add rows as necessary.

Question 2 – If a control device is used to reduce the emissions of HAP from this 

cleaning operation, enter a unique identification number of your choosing for this control 

device. You must also complete a Form J for this control device and the identification

Form E-4. Halogenated Solvent Cleaning Operations

The EPA is requesting that you provide the information requested in Form E-4 for all 

cleaning operations at your facility that are subject to the Halogenated Solvent Cleaning 

NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart T). Even though halogenated solvent cleaning 

operations are not subject to the aerospace NESHAP, the EPA is concerned that some 

aerospace facilities may have mistakenly reported emissions from these operations as 

emissions from operations subject to the aerospace NESHAP in past reporting to State 

or local agencies. The EPA is currently evaluating the residual risk from aerospace 

operations and halogenated solvent cleaning operations. In order to estimate the 

residual risk accurately from each of these categories, the EPA is attempting to first 

develop accurate emissions estimates. Your efforts to properly report halogenated 

solvent cleaning operations on Form E-4 and not on Form E-3 will play an important role 

in the EPA’s development of emissions estimates for these two categories.

In order to assist you in determining which cleaning operations should be reported on 

Form E-4, the following description is reproduced from § 63.460(a) identifying the 

sources subject to subpart T:

each individual batch vapor, in-line vapor, in-line cold, and batch cold solvent 

cleaning machine that uses any solvent containing methylene chloride (CAS No. 

75–09–2), perchloroethylene (CAS No. 127–18–4), trichloroethylene (CAS No. 

79–01–6), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (CAS No. 71–55–6), carbon tetrachloride (CAS 

No. 56–23–5) or chloroform (CAS No. 67–66–3), or any combination of these 

halogenated HAP solvents, in a total concentration greater than 5 percent by 

weight, as a cleaning and/or drying agent. The concentration of these solvents 

may be determined using EPA test method 18, material safety data sheets, or 

engineering calculations. Wipe cleaning activities, such as using a rag containing

halogenated solvent or a spray cleaner containing halogenated solvent are not

covered under the provisions of this subpart.

NOTE: Not all cleaning operations that use methylene chloride, perchloroethylene,

trichloroethylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, or chloroform are subject 

to subpart T. Before reporting a cleaning operation on this form, make sure that the 

cleaning operation uses one or more of these halogenated solvents AND that the 

solvent is used in a batch vapor, in-line vapor, in-line cold, or batch cold solvent 

cleaning machine as these machines are defined in subpart T.

This form has space for entering data for 3 cleaning operations. If you are providing 

data for more than 3 cleaning operations, please add additional columns as necessary.

Form I-1. Startups and Shutdowns

This form is used to report startup and shutdown events that resulted in excess HAP 

emissions AND that caused a NESHAP emission limit to be exceeded or caused a 

deviation of any requirement of the NESHAP. Each aerospace manufacturing and 

rework operation that emits HAP and each add-on control device used to reduce the 

emissions of HAP from aerospace manufacturing and rework operations is subject to 

reporting on this form.

For the purposes of this form, particulate filters and waterwash systems used to capture 

overspray in paint spray booths are considered to be add-on control devices.

The following examples are provided as guidance for which startup and shutdown 

events must be reported:

Example 1: A facility has several spray booths in which aerospace primers and 

topcoats are applied. The ventilation fans on each spray booth are shut off when 

the booth is not being used and turned on again when parts are ready to be 

coated. No coating is applied when the fans are not operating. Even though 

each time the fans are turned on and off is a startup or shutdown event, Form I-1 

does not need to be completed. Because no coatings are applied when the fan 

is not operating, emission limits would not be exceeded during the startup and 

shutdown events.

Example 2: A facility uses a thermal oxidizer to meet the 81 percent organic 

HAP emission reduction requirement of 40 CFR 63.745(d) for aerospace primer 

and topcoat operations. The thermal oxidizer has been shut down for 

maintenance. Following the repairs, the thermal oxidizer is restarted from a cold 

start, and the facility immediately starts to apply primers and topcoats. The 

emissions while the thermal oxidizer was not at the operating temperature

resulted in an exceedence of the 81 percent emission reduction requirement. 

This event must be reported on Form I-1.

Example 3: A facility applies primers containing hexavalent chromium to 

aerospace parts in a spray booth. One operator turns off the ventilation fan for 

the spray booth, but another operator is still in the booth applying the primer. 

This shutdown event must be reported on Form I-1.

Provide the requested information if it is readily available. You are not required to 

perform additional testing or data gathering for these events in order to complete this 

form.
31

Form J-1 to J-10. Air Pollution Control Devices

Complete the appropriate form for each air pollution control device that you use to 

reduce HAP emissions from aerospace manufacturing and rework operations. You are 

not required to complete these forms for particulate filters and waterwash systems used 

to capture overspray in paint spray booths. Spray booth particulate filter information is 

reported on Form B-1, Section II, Particulate Filters.

Concerning mechanical collectors and fabric filters reported on Forms J-3 and J-4, if 

these devices are vented within a building, leave the latitude and longitude entries blank 

and note in the comments section that the device is vented within a building. Include an 

identification of the building in the comment.

Provide the requested information on these forms if it is readily available. You are not 

required to perform any additional testing in order to complete these forms.

Form K-1. Air Pollution Control Device Costs

Complete this form as completely as possible using readily available information for 

each air pollution control device for which you completed a Form J.
