Characterization/
Abstract
In
general,
all
NESHAP
standards
require
initial
notifications,
performance
tests,
and
periodic
reports.
Owners
or
operators
are
also
required
to
maintain
records
of
the
occurrence
and
duration
of
any
startup,
shutdown,
or
malfunction
in
the
operation
of
an
affected
facility,
or
any
period
during
which
the
monitoring
system
is
inoperative.
These
notifications,
reports,
and
records
are
essential
in
determining
compliance,
and
are
required
of
all
sources
subject
to
NESHAP.

Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
five
years
following
the
date
of
such
measurements,
maintenance
reports,
and
records.
All
reports
are
sent
to
the
delegated
State
or
Local
authority.
In
the
event
that
there
is
no
such
delegated
authority,
the
reports
are
sent
directly
to
the
EPA
Regional
Office.

The
National
Emission
Standards
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
(
NESHAP),
for
Epoxy
Resin
Production
and
Non­
nylon
Polyamide
Resin
Production
were
promulgated
on
March
8,
1995.
These
standards
apply
to
the
following
facilities
in
Subpart
W.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
Part
63
Subpart
W.

Approximately
13
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard,
and,
the
growth
rate
for
this
industry
is
estimated
to
be
very
low,
so
no
new
sources
are
likely
to
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.
This
low
growth
rate
was
projected
in
the
original
ICR
and
is
borne
out
by
a
review
of
current
information.
The
cost
of
this
ICR
will
be
$
247250.
per
year.
All
reports
are
sent
to
the
delegated
State
or
local
authority.
In
the
event
that
there
is
no
such
delegated
authority,
the
reports
are
sent
directly
to
the
EPA
Regional
Office.

2.
Need
for
and
Use
of
the
Collection
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
EPA
is
charged
under
Section
112
of
the
Clean
Air
Act,
as
Amended,
to
establish
standards
of
2
performance
for
each
category
or
subcategory
of
major
sources
and
area
sources
of
hazardous
air
pollutants.
These
standards
are
applicable
to
new
or
existing
sources
of
hazardous
air
pollutants
and
shall
require
the
maximum
degree
of
emission
reduction.
In
addition,
Section
114(
a)
states
that
the
Administrator
may
require
any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
any
requirement
of
this
Act
to:

"(
A)
Establish
and
maintain
such
records;
(
B)
make
such
reports;
(
C)
install,
use,
and
maintain
such
monitoring
equipment,
and
use
such
audit
procedures,
or
methods;
(
D)
sample
such
emissions
(
in
accordance
with
such
procedures
or
methods,
at
such
locations,
at
such
intervals,
during
such
periods,
and
in
such
manner
as
the
Administrator
shall
prescribe);
(
E)
keep
records
on
control
equipment
parameters,
production
variables
or
other
indirect
data
when
direct
monitoring
of
emissions
is
impractical;
(
F)
submit
compliance
certifications
in
accordance
with
Section
114(
a)(
3);
and
(
G)
provide
such
other
information
as
the
Administrator
may
reasonably
require."

In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
hazardous
air
pollutant
emissions,
including
epichlorohydrin,
methanol
and
hydrochloric
acid
from
epoxy
resin
and
non­
nylon
polyamide
resin
production,
regulated
by
this
National
Emission
Standard
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
Maximum
Achievable
Control
Technologies
(
MACT)
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
Part
63,
Subpart
W.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
hazardous
air
pollutants
including
epichlorohydrin
from
epoxy
resin
and
non­
nylon
polyamide
production
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
hazardous
air
pollutants
(
HAP)
from
manufacture
of
basic
liquid
epoxy
resin
(
BLR)
and
wet
strength
resins
(
WSR)
are
the
result
of
operation
of
the
those
facilities
including
all
HAP
emission
points
within
a
facility
that
are
related
to
the
production
of
BLR
or
WSR,
including
process
vents,
storage
tanks,
wastewater
systems
and
equipment
leaks.
These
standards
rely
on
the
reduction
of
HAP
emissions
by
limiting
the
total
emissions
of
HAP
from
all
process
vents,
storage
tanks,
and
wastewater
systems
to
the
production­
based
parameters
set
in
the
rule,
(
or,
as
an
option
for
WSR,
by
complying
with
requirements
of
Subpart
H
to
control
emissions
from
equipments
leaks).
The
required
notifications
are
used
to
inform
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
when
a
source
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
The
reviewing
authority
may
then
inspect
the
source
to
check
if
the
standard
is
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
record
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard,
and
to
note
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
The
semiannual
and
quarterly
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.
The
information
generated
by
the
monitoring,
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
described
in
this
ICR
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
ensure
that
facilities
affected
by
the
MACT
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
used
to
achieve
compliance
with
the
MACT.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
is
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
these
standards,
as
required
by
the
Clean
Air
Act.
The
information
collected
from
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
also
used
for
targeting
inspections,
and
is
of
sufficient
quality
to
be
used
as
evidence
in
court.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requested
is
required
under
40
CFR
Part
63,
Subpart
W.

3(
a)
Nonduplication
If
the
standard
has
not
been
delegated,
the
information
is
sent
to
the
appropriate
EPA
Regional
Office.
Otherwise,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
delegated
State
or
Local
Agency.
If
a
State
or
Local
Agency
has
adopted
their
own
similar
regulation
to
implement
the
Federal
Regulation,
a
copy
of
the
report
submitted
to
the
State
or
Local
agency
can
be
sent
to
the
Administrator
in
lieu
of
the
report
required
by
the
Federal
Standard.
Therefore,
no
duplication
exists.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
February
1,
2001
(
i.
e.,
the
first
Federal
Register
notice).
No
comments
were
received
as
a
result
of
this
notice.
However,
comments
were
received
from
a
major
manufacturer
subject
to
the
requirements
of
the
rule
after
the
publication
of
the
second
Federal
Register
notice.
The
comments
focused
primarily
on
the
general
provision
requirements
at
40
CFR
Part
63,
Subpart
A
rather
than
at
the
requirements
at
40
CFR
Part
63,
Subpart
W
(
the
rule
addressed
by
this
ICR).
EPA
has
drafted
amendments
to
Subpart
A
and
published
a
notice
in
the
Federal
Register
asking
for
comments.
The
manufacturer
provided
essentially
the
same
comments
to
this
notice
as
to
the
notice
for
this
ICR
renewal.
EPA
is
addressing
those
comments
in
conjunction
with
the
Subpart
A
revisions.
It
should
be
noted
that
any
changes
that
would
occur
would
be
due
to
any
revisions
of
Subpart
A
would
not
affect
this
ICR
renewal.

3(
c)
Consultations
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.
However,
the
Society
of
the
Plastics
Industries
(
SPI),
a
trade
association
representing
this
industry,
was
contacted
regarding
information
in
this
ICR.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
required
standards.
Requirements
for
information
gathering
and
recordkeeping
are
useful
techniques
to
ensure
that
good
operation
and
maintenance
practices
are
applied
and
emission
limitations
are
met.
If
the
information
required
by
these
standards
was
collected
less
frequently,
the
likelihood
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
and
noncompliance
would
decrease.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
4
None
of
these
reporting
or
recordkeeping
requirements
violate
any
of
the
regulations
established
by
OMB
in
5
CFR
1320.6.

3(
f)
Confidentiality
The
required
information
consists
of
emissions
data
and
other
information
that
have
been
determined
not
to
be
private.
However,
any
information
submitted
to
the
Agency
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made
will
be
safeguarded
according
to
the
Agency
policies
set
forth
in

Collection
Methodology
and
Management
Following
notification
of
startup,
the
reviewing
authority
might
inspect
the
source
to
determine
whether
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated.
Performance
test
reports
are
used
by
the
Agency
to
discern
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard,
and
note
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
Data
and
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
for
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

Information
contained
in
the
reports
is
entered
into
AIRS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards.
AIRS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
over
100,000
industrial
and
government­
owned
facilities.
EPA
uses
AIRS
for
tracking
air
pollution
compliance
and
enforcement
by
Local
and
State
regulatory
agencies,
and
EPA
Regional
Offices
and
Headquarters.
EPA
and
its
delegated
Authorities
can
edit,
store,
retrieve
and
analyze
the
data.

The
records
required
by
this
regulation
must
be
retained
by
the
owner
or
operator
for
five
years.

5(

Small
Entity
Flexibility
There
are
no
small
businesses
affected
by
this
standard.
As
an
alternative
to
implementing
the
standards
for
process
vents,
storage
tanks,
and
wastewater,
WSR
facilities
may
elect

of
individual
burdens
for
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
applicable
to
the

for
each
Subpart
included
in

ICR.
The
individual

are
expressed
under
standardized
headings
believed
to
be
consistent
with
the
concept
of
burden
under
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act.
Where
appropriate,
specific

major
assumptions
have
been
identified.
Responses
to
this

are
mandatory
(
Section
112,
CAAA;
40
CFR

respond
to,
a
collection
of

Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
estimated
at
4525
person­
hours.
These
hours
are
based
on
Agency
studies
and
background
documents
from
the
development
of
the
standards
or
test
methods,
Agency
knowledge
and
experience
with
the

Estimating
Labor
Costs
This
ICR
uses
Technical
labor
rates
of
$
55.34
per
hour;
$
78.54
per
hour
for
Executive,
Administrative,
and
Managerial;
and
$
35.64
per
hour
for
Clerical.
These
rates
are
from
the
United
States

Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
March
2000,
Table
10:
Employment

The

Estimating
Capital
and
Operations
and
Maintenance
Costs
The
capital
start
up
costs
are
one
time
costs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
Because
the
growth
rate
for
this
industry
is
so
low,
the
capital
start
up
costs
for
this
regulation
is
zero
dollars.
The
annual
operations
and
maintenance
costs
are
$
9000.
dollars.
This
is
based
on
only
3
existing
sources
which
have
continuous
monitoring
equipment
multiplied
by
$
3,000
per
year
for
upkeep
of
the
computer
equipment
and
monitoring
devices
and
calibration
costs.
(
Only
the
three
BLR
facilities
are
expected
to
have
continuous
emissions
monitoring
because
it
is
optional
for
WSR
facilities).
The
total
respondent
costs
have
been
calculated
on
the
addition
of
the
capital
start
up
costs
and
the
annual
operations
and
maintenance
costs.
The
average
annual
burden
for
capital
and
9
operations
and
maintenance
costs
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
9,000.
The
type
of
industry
costs
associated
with
the
information
collection
activity
in
the
standards
are
labor
and
CEMs..
The
capital
start
up
costs
are
one
time
costs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
The
annual
operations
and
maintenance
costs
are
the
ongoing
costs
to
maintain
the
monitor.
Total
respondent
costs
have
been
calculated
on
the
addition
of
the
capital
start
up
costs
and
the
annual
operations
and
maintenance
costs.

c
Assumes
there

For
WSR
facilities,
as
an
alternative
to
implementing
the
standards
for
process
vents,
storage
tanks,
and
wastewater,
facilities
may
elect
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
40
CFR
63,
Subpart
H
(
a
leak
detection
and
repair
program)
for
equipment
leaks).
Because
it
is
more
cost­
effective
than
the
emission
limit,
it
is
assumed
that
all
WSR
facilities
will
choose
to
comply
with
the
alternative
standard.
These
facilities
will
not
have
continuous
monitoring
systems
(
CMS).
