Subject:	Identification of Major Sources for the NESHAP for Carbon Black Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YY)
      
       Introduction
Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) outlines the statutory requirements for the EPA's stationary source air toxics program. Section 112 requires EPA to set maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards for HAP-emitting processes in source categories listed for regulation of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). The MACT standard for the final promulgated rule for this category was developed under Section 112 of the CAA as Part 63, subpart YY; and was completed in July 2002 (67 FR 46258).
The Risk and Technology Review (RTR) is a combined effort to evaluate both risk and technology as required by the CAA after the application of the MACT standards. Section 112(f)(2) directs EPA to conduct risk assessments on each source category subject to MACT standards, and to determine if additional standards are needed to reduce residual risks. Section 112(d)(6) of the CAA requires EPA to review and revise MACT standards, as necessary, taking into account developments in practices, processes and control technologies. The Agency will conduct both these reviews during the RTR review.
The purpose of this memorandum is to describe the sources of data obtained for identifying major source carbon black production facilities with processes subject to 40 CFR 63 Subpart YY.
       Sources of Data
The main sources of data were the Office of Enforcement and Compliance (OECA), Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) website, and trade organization membership rosters.  Supplemental information was gathered from Title V permits, technical support documents, air emissions inventories, Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reports, and contacts with relevant EPA Regions and state agencies.
 Office of Enforcement and Compliance
The EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance issued several consent decrees for carbon black production facilities from 2013-2017. As part of this effort a list of all major source facilities were identified and shared with OAQPS at the start of this rule making. The identified facilities are listed in table 1 below.

 Trade Organization
The International Carbon Black Association (ICBA) represents all identified major sources subject the Carbon Black Manufacturing RTR. Members of ICBA include, Birla Carbon, Cabot Corporation, Cancarb Limited, Continental Carbon, Imerys, Orion Engineered Carbons, and Tokai Carbon CB. The ICBA confirmed the list of major sources provided by OECA, with the one change to ownership. Sid Richardson Carbon has sense been purchased by Tokai Carbon CB. The updated list with correct ownership can be found in table 2 below. 
After review, all facilities listed in Table 1 were determined to be subject to subpart YY. All facilities listed in Table 2 became synthetic area source permits before the initial compliance date of July 11, 2005 and are not subject to subpart YY. The facilities in table 3 are not subject to the subpart.
