Social
Costs
and
Benefits
The
regulatory
analyses
prepared
for
the
final
rule,

including
our
assessment
of
costs
and
benefits,
is
detailed
in
the
"
Regulatory
Impact
Analysis
for
the
Plywood
and
Composite
Wood
Products
NESHAP"
in
Docket
ID
No.
A­

44.

Based
on
estimated
compliance
costs
associated
with
the
final
rule
and
the
predicted
change
in
prices
and
production
in
the
affected
industries,
the
estimated
social
costs
of
the
final
rule
are
$
135.1
million
(
1999
dollars).
The
social
costs
of
the
final
rule
are
the
costs
imposed
upon
society
as
a
result
of
efforts
toward
compliance,
and
include
the
effects
upon
consumers
of
products
made
by
the
affected
facilities.

It
is
estimated
that
3
years
after
implementation
of
the
final
rule,
HAP
would
be
reduced
by
9,700
Mg/
yr
(
11,000
tons/
yr)
due
to
reductions
in
formaldehyde,

acetaldehyde,
acrolein,
methanol
and
other
HAP
from
PCWP
sources.
Formaldehyde
and
acetaldehyde
have
been
classified
as
"
probable
human
carcinogens."
Acrolein,
methanol
and
the
other
HAP
are
not
considered
carcinogenic,
but
produce
several
other
toxic
effects.
The
requirements
of
the
final
rule
would
also
achieve
reductions
of
10,000
Mg/
yr
(
11,000
tons/
yr)
of
CO,
approximately
11,000
Mg/
yr
376
(
13,000
tons/
yr)
of
PM10,
and
approximately
25,000
Mg/
yr
(
27,000
tons/
yr)
of
VOC
(
approximated
as
THC).
Exposure
to
CO
can
effect
the
cardiovascular
system
and
the
CNS.
The
PM
emissions
can
result
in
fatalities
and
many
respiratory
problems
(
such
as
asthma
or
bronchitis).
These
estimates
will
be
reduced
to
the
extent
facilities
demonstrate
eligibility
to
be
included
in
the
delisted
low­
risk
subcategory.
These
estimated
reductions
occur
from
existing
sources
in
operation
3
years
after
implementation
of
the
requirements
of
the
final
rule
and
are
expected
to
continue
throughout
the
life
of
the
sources.
Human
health
effects
associated
with
exposure
to
CO
include
cardiovascular
system
and
CNS
effects,
which
are
directly
related
to
reduced
oxygen
content
of
blood
and
which
can
result
in
modification
of
visual
perception,
hearing,
motor
and
sensorimotor
performance,
vigilance,
and
cognitive
ability.
The
VOC
emissions
reductions
may
lead
to
some
reduction
in
ozone
concentrations
in
areas
in
which
the
affected
sources
are
located.
There
are
both
human
health
and
welfare
effects
that
result
from
exposure
to
ozone,
and
these
effects
are
listed
in
Table
3
of
this
preamble.

As
mentioned
earlier
in
this
preamble,
we
are
unable
to
provide
a
comprehensive
quantification
and
monetization
of
the
HAP­
related
benefits
of
the
final
rule.
Nevertheless,

it
is
possible
to
derive
rough
estimates
for
one
of
the
more
377
important
benefit
categories,
i.
e.,
the
potential
number
of
cancer
cases
avoided
and
cancer
risk
reduced
as
a
result
of
the
imposition
of
the
MACT
level
of
control
on
this
source
category.
Our
analysis
suggests
that
imposition
of
the
MACT
level
of
control
would
reduce
cancer
cases
by
less
than
one
case
per
year,
on
average,
starting
some
years
after
implementation
of
the
standards.
We
present
these
results
in
the
RIA.
This
risk
reduction
estimate
is
uncertain
and
should
be
regarded
as
an
extremely
rough
estimate
and
should
be
viewed
in
the
context
of
the
full
spectrum
of
unquantified
noncancer
effects
associated
with
the
HAP
reductions.

At
the
present
time,
we
cannot
provide
a
monetary
estimate
for
the
benefits
associated
with
the
reductions
in
CO.
We
also
did
not
provide
a
monetary
estimate
for
the
benefits
associated
with
the
changes
in
ozone
concentrations
that
result
from
the
VOC
emissions
reductions
since
we
are
unable
to
do
the
necessary
air
quality
modeling
to
estimate
the
ozone
concentration
changes.
For
PM10,
we
did
not
provide
a
monetary
estimate
for
the
benefits
associated
with
the
reduction
of
these
emissions,
although
these
reductions
are
likely
to
have
significant
health
benefits
to
populations
living
in
the
vicinity
of
affected
sources.

There
may
be
increases
in
NOX
emissions
associated
with
today's
final
rule
as
a
result
of
increased
use
of
378
incineration­
based
controls.
These
NOX
emission
increases
by
themselves
could
cause
some
increase
in
ozone
and
PM
concentrations,
which
could
lead
to
impacts
on
human
health
and
welfare
as
listed
in
Table
3
of
this
preamble.
The
potential
impacts
associated
with
increases
in
ambient
PM
and
ozone
due
to
these
emission
increases
are
discussed
in
the
RIA.
In
addition
to
potential
NOX
increases
at
affected
sources,
today's
final
rule
may
also
result
in
additional
electricity
use
at
affected
sources
due
to
application
of
controls.
These
potential
increases
in
electricity
use
may
increase
emissions
of
SO2
and
NOX
from
electricity
generating
utilities.
As
such,
the
final
rule
may
result
in
additional
health
impacts
from
increased
ambient
PM
and
ozone
from
these
increased
utility
emissions.
We
did
not
quantify
or
monetize
these
impacts.

Every
benefit­
cost
analysis
examining
the
potential
effects
of
a
change
in
environmental
protection
requirements
is
limited
to
some
extent
by
data
gaps,
limitations
in
model
capabilities
(
such
as
geographic
coverage),
and
uncertainties
in
the
underlying
scientific
and
economic
studies
used
to
configure
the
benefit
and
cost
models.

Deficiencies
in
the
scientific
literature
often
result
in
the
inability
to
estimate
changes
in
health
and
environmental
effects,
such
as
potential
increases
in
premature
mortality
associated
with
increased
exposure
to
379
CO.
Deficiencies
in
the
economics
literature
often
result
in
the
inability
to
assign
economic
values
even
to
those
health
and
environmental
outcomes
which
can
be
quantified.

These
general
uncertainties
in
the
underlying
scientific
and
economics
literatures
are
discussed
in
detail
in
the
RIA
and
its
supporting
documents
and
references.

3.
Regulatory
Alternatives
Considered
The
final
standards
reflect
the
MACT
floor,
the
least
stringent
regulatory
alternative
required
under
the
CAA.
In
addition,
the
final
rule
includes
the
least
burdensome
and
most
flexible
monitoring,
reporting,
and
recordkeeping
requirements
that
we
feel
will
assure
compliance
with
the
compliance
options
and
rule
requirements.
Therefore,
the
standards
reflect
the
least
costly,
most
cost­
effective,
and
least
burdensome
regulatory
option
that
achieves
the
objectives
of
the
final
rule.

4.
Effects
on
the
National
Economy
The
economic
impact
analysis
for
the
final
rule
estimates
effects
upon
employment
and
foreign
trade
for
the
industries
affected
by
the
rule.
The
total
reduction
in
employment
for
the
affected
industries
is
0.3
percent
of
the
current
employment
level
(
or
225
employees).
This
estimate
includes
the
increase
in
employment
among
firms
in
these
industries
that
do
not
incur
any
cost
associated
with
the
final
rule.
There
is
also
minimal
change
in
the
foreign
380
trade
behavior
for
the
firms
in
these
industries
since
the
level
of
imports
of
affected
composite
wood
products
only
increases
by
less
than
0.1
percent.
There
will
be
reductions
in
effects
on
the
national
economy
associated
with
eligibility
of
sources
for
the
delisted
low­
risk
subcategory.
The
employment
level
will
now
be
reduced
by
126
employees,
which
is
99
fewer
than
the
reduction
estimated
for
the
final
rule.
The
increase
in
the
level
of
imports
is
half
as
large
as
that
for
the
final
rule.

5.
Consultation
with
Government
Officials
Throughout
the
development
of
the
final
rule,
we
interacted
with
representatives
of
affected
State
and
local
officials
to
inform
them
of
the
progress
of
our
rulemaking
efforts.
We
also
consulted
with
representatives
from
other
entities
affected
by
the
final
rule,
such
as
the
American
Forest
&
Paper
Association,
National
Council
for
Air
and
Stream
Improvement,
APA­
The
Engineered
Wood
Association,

Composite
Panel
Association,
American
Hardboard
Association,

Hardwood
Plywood
and
Veneer
Association,
and
representatives
from
affected
companies.

The
number
of
small
entities
that
are
significantly
affected
by
today's
final
PCWP
standards
is
not
expected
to
be
substantial.
The
final
rule
contains
no
regulatory
requirements
that
might
significantly
affect
small
governments
because
no
PCWP
facilities
are
owned
by
such
381
governments.
The
full
analysis
of
potential
regulatory
impacts
on
small
organizations,
small
governments,
and
small
businesses
is
included
in
the
economic
impact
analysis
in
the
docket
and
is
listed
at
the
beginning
of
today's
action
under
SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION.
Because
the
number
of
small
entities
that
are
likely
to
experience
significant
economic
impacts
as
a
result
of
today's
final
standards
is
not
expected
to
be
substantial,
no
plan
to
inform
and
advise
small
governments
is
required
under
section
203
of
the
UMRA.

E.
Executive
Order
13132:
Federalism
Executive
Order
13132
(
64
FR
43255,
August
10,
1999)

requires
EPA
to
develop
an
accountable
process
to
ensure
"
meaningful
and
timely
input
by
State
and
local
officials
in
the
development
of
regulatory
policies
that
have
federalism
implications."
"
Policies
that
have
federalism
implications"

is
defined
in
the
Executive
Order
to
include
regulations
that
have
"
substantial
direct
effects
on
the
States,
on
the
relationship
between
the
national
government
and
the
States,

or
on
the
distribution
of
power
and
responsibilities
among
the
various
levels
of
government."
Under
Executive
Order
13132,
the
EPA
may
not
issue
a
regulation
that
has
federalism
implications,
that
imposes
substantial
direct
compliance
costs,
and
that
is
not
required
by
statute,

unless
the
Federal
government
provides
the
funds
necessary
to
pay
the
direct
compliance
costs
incurred
by
State
and
382
local
governments,
or
EPA
consults
with
State
and
local
officials
early
in
the
process
of
developing
the
proposed
regulation.
The
EPA
also
may
not
issue
a
regulation
that
has
federalism
implications
and
that
preempts
State
law
unless
EPA
consults
with
State
and
local
officials
early
in
the
process
of
developing
the
proposed
regulation.

If
EPA
complies
by
consulting,
Executive
Order
13132
requires
EPA
to
provide
to
OMB,
in
a
separately
identified
section
of
the
preamble
to
the
rule,
a
federalism
summary
impact
statement
(
FSIS).
The
FSIS
must
include
a
description
of
the
extent
of
EPA's
prior
consultation
with
State
and
local
officials,
a
summary
of
the
nature
of
their
concerns
and
EPA's
position
supporting
the
need
to
issue
the
regulation,
and
a
statement
of
the
extent
to
which
the
concerns
of
State
and
local
officials
have
been
met.
Also,

when
EPA
transmits
a
draft
final
rule
with
federalism
implications
to
OMB
for
review
pursuant
to
Executive
Order
12866,
it
must
include
a
certification
from
EPA's
Federalism
Official
stating
that
EPA
has
met
the
requirements
of
Executive
Order
13132
in
a
meaningful
and
timely
manner.

Today's
final
rule
does
not
have
federalism
implications.
It
will
not
have
substantial
direct
effects
on
the
States,
on
the
relationship
between
the
national
government
and
the
States,
or
on
the
distribution
of
power
and
responsibilities
among
the
various
levels
of
government,
383
as
specified
in
Executive
Order
13132.
None
of
the
affected
facilities
are
owned
or
operated
by
State
governments,
and
the
final
rule
requirements
will
not
supercede
State
regulations
that
are
more
stringent.
Thus,
the
requirements
of
Executive
Order
13132
do
not
apply
to
the
final
rule.

F.
Executive
Order
13175:
Consultation
and
Coordination
with
Indian
Tribal
Governments
Executive
Order
13175
(
65
FR
67249,
November
6,
2000)

requires
EPA
to
develop
an
accountable
process
to
ensure
"
meaningful
and
timely
input
by
tribal
officials
in
the
development
of
regulatory
policies
that
have
tribal
implications."
"
Policies
that
have
tribal
implications"
is
defined
in
the
Executive
Order
to
include
regulations
that
have
"
substantial
direct
effects
on
one
or
more
Indian
tribes,
on
the
relationship
between
the
Federal
government
and
the
Indian
tribes,
or
on
the
distribution
of
power
and
responsibilities
between
the
Federal
government
and
Indian
tribes."

Today's
final
rule
does
not
have
tribal
implications.

It
will
not
have
substantial
direct
effects
on
tribal
governments,
on
the
relationship
between
the
Federal
government
and
Indian
tribes,
or
on
the
distribution
of
power
and
responsibilities
between
the
Federal
government
and
Indian
tribes,
as
specified
in
Executive
Order
13175.

No
affected
plant
sites
are
owned
or
operated
by
Indian
384
tribal
governments.
Thus,
Executive
Order
13175
does
not
apply
to
the
final
rule.

G.
Executive
Order
13045:
Protection
of
Children
from
Environmental
Health
&
Safety
Risks
Executive
Order
13045
(
62
FR
19885,
April
23,
1997)

applies
to
any
rule
that:
(
1)
is
determined
to
be
"
economically
significant,"
as
defined
under
Executive
Order
12866,
and
(
2)
concerns
an
environmental
health
or
safety
risk
that
EPA
has
reason
to
feel
may
have
a
disproportionate
effect
on
children.
If
the
regulatory
action
meets
both
criteria,
the
EPA
must
evaluate
the
environmental
health
or
safety
effects
of
the
planned
rule
on
children
and
explain
why
the
planned
regulation
is
preferable
to
other
potentially
effective
and
reasonably
feasible
alternatives
considered
by
the
Agency.

The
Agency
does
not
have
reason
to
feel
that
the
environmental
health
or
safety
risks
associated
with
the
emissions
addressed
by
today's
final
rule
present
a
disproportionate
risk
to
children.
This
demonstration
is
based
on
the
fact
that
the
noncancer
human
health
values
we
used
in
our
analysis
(
e.
g.,
RfC)
are
determined
to
be
protective
of
sensitive
subpopulations,
including
children.

Also,
while
the
cancer
human
health
values
do
not
always
expressly
account
for
cancer
effects
in
children,
the
cancer
risks
posed
by
PCWP
facilities
that
meet
the
eligibility
385
criteria
for
being
included
in
the
delisted
low­
risk
subcategory
will
be
sufficiently
low
so
as
not
to
be
a
concern
for
anyone
in
the
population,
including
children.

Executive
Order
13211
(

identified
as
"

Section
4(

of
Executive
Order
13211
defines
"
significant

as
"
any

that
promulgates

In
fact,
as
previously
mentioned
in
this
preamble,
there
will
be
an
increase
in
energy
consumption,

and
hence
an
increase
in
energy
production,
resulting
from
installation
of
RTO
and
WESP
likely
needed
for
sources
to
meet
the
requirements
of
the
final
rule.
This
increase
in
energy
consumption
is
equal
to
718
GWh/
yr
for
electricity
and
45
million
m3/
yr
(
1.6
billion
ft3/
yr)
for
natural
gas.

These
increases
are
equivalent
to
0.012
percent
of
1998
U.
S.

electricity
production
and
0.000001
percent
of
1998
U.
S.

natural
gas
production.
9
It
should
be
noted,
however,
that
the
reduction
in
demand
for
product
output
from
these
industries
may
lead
to
a
negative
indirect
effect
on
such
energy
production,
for
the
output
reduction
will
lead
to
less
energy
use
by
these
industries
and
thus
some
reduction
387

in
overall
energy
production.

For
fuel
production,
the
result
of
this
indirect
effect
from
reduced
product
output
is
a
reduction
of
only
about
1
barrel
per
day
nationwide,
or
a
0.00001
percent
reduction
nationwide
based
on
1998
U.
S.
fuel
production
data.
10
For
coal
production,
the
resulting
indirect
effect
from
reduced
product
output
is
a
reduction
of
only
2,000
tons
per
year
nationwide,
or
only
a
0.00001
percent
reduction
nationwide
based
on
1998
U.
S.
coal
production
data.
For
electricity
production,
the
resulting
indirect
effect
from
reduced
product
output
is
a
reduction
of
42.8
GWh/
yr,
or
only
a
0.00013
percent
reduction
nationwide
based
on
1998
U.
S.

electricity
production
data.
Given
that
the
estimated
price
increase
for
product
output
from
any
of
the
affected
industries
is
no
more
than
2.5
percent,
there
should
be
no
price
increase
for
any
energy
type
by
more
than
this
amount.

The
cost
of
energy
distribution
should
not
be
affected
by
the
final
rule
at
all
since
the
rule
does
not
affect
energy
distribution
facilities.
Finally,
with
changes
in
net
exports
being
a
minimal
percentage
of
domestic
output
(
0.01
percent)
from
the
affected
industries,
there
will
be
only
a
negligible
change
in
international
trade,
and
hence
in
dependence
on
foreign
energy
supplies.
No
other
adverse
outcomes
are
expected
to
occur
with
regards
to
energy

Thus,
the
net
effect
of
the
final
rule
on
energy
production
is
an
increase
in
electricity
output
of
0.012
percent
compared
to
1998
output
data,
and
a
negligible
change
in
output
of
other
energy
types.
All
of
the
results
presented
above
account
for
the
passthrough
of
costs
to
consumers,
as
well
as
the
cost
impact
to
producers.
These
results
also
account
for
how
energy
use
is
related
to
product
output
for
the
affected
industries.

For
more
information
on
the
estimated
energy
effects,
please
refer
to
the
background
memo12
to
these
calculations
and
the
economic
impact
analysis
for
the
final
rule.
The
background
memo
and
economic
impact
analysis
are
available
in
the
public
docket.

The
impacts
from
consideration
of
a
low­
risk
subcategory
are
a
reduction
in
all
of
the
energy
impacts
listed
above.

For
fuel
production,
the
result
of
this
indirect
effect
from
reduced
product
output
is
a
reduction
of
only
about
0.6
barrel
per
day
nationwide,
or
a
0.000007
percent
reduction
nationwide
based
on
1998
U.
S.
fuel
production
data.
13
This
is
a
0.4
barrel
smaller
reduction
than
that
estimated
for
389
the
final
rule.
For
coal
production,
the
resulting
indirect
effect
from
reduced
product
output
is
a
reduction
of
only
950
tons
per
year
nationwide,
or
only
a
0.0000044
percent
reduction
nationwide
based
on
1998
U.
S.
coal
production
data.
This
is
a
smaller
reduction
than
that
estimated
for
the
final
rule
by
1,050
tons
per
year.
For
electricity
production,
the
resulting
indirect
effect
from
reduced
product
output
is
a
reduction
of
20.7
million
kWh/
yr,
or
only
a
0.00006
percent
reduction
nationwide
based
on
1998
U.
S.
electricity
production
data.
This
is
a
smaller
output
reduction
than
that
estimated
for
the
final
rule
by
22.1
million
kWh/
yr.
Given
that
the
estimated
price
increase
for
product
output
from
any
of
the
affected
industries
is
no
more
than
2.5
percent,
there
should
be
no
price
increase
for
any
energy
type
by
more
than
this
amount.
The
cost
of
energy
distribution
should
not
be
affected
by
the
final
rule
at
all
since
the
rule
does
not
affect
energy
distribution
facilities.
Finally,
with
changes
in
net
exports
being
a
minimal
percentage
of
domestic
output
(
0.006
percent,
or
practically
the
same
as
that
for

from
the
affected
industries,
there
will
be
only
a
negligible
change
in

and
hence
in

on

No
other
adverse

are
expected
to

One
voluntary
consensus
standard
was
identified
as
an
acceptable
alternative
to
EPA
test
methods
for
the
purposes
of
the
final
rule.
The
voluntary

standard
ASTM

"

is
an
acceptable
alternative
to
EPA

provided
that
the

as
determined
in
Annex

of
ASTM
D6348­

is
equal

Also,
the
moisture
determination
in
ASTM

is
an
acceptable
alternative
to
the
measurement
of
moisture
using
EPA
Method

In
addition
to
the
voluntary
consensus
standards
the
EPA
uses
in
the
final
rule,
the
search
for
emissions
measurement
procedures
identified
13
other
voluntary
consensus
standards.
The
EPA
determined
that
11
of
those
13
voluntary
consensus
standards
identified
for
measuring
emissions
of
the
HAP
or
surrogates
subject
to
emission
standards
in
the
rule
were
impractical
alternatives
to
EPA
test
methods
for
the

Therefore,
EPA
does
not
intend
to
adopt
those

bed
temperature,
you
may
use
multiple
thermocouples
in
representative
locations
throughout
the
biofilter
bed
and
calculate
the
average
biofilter
bed
temperature
across
these
thermocouples
prior
to
reducing
the

bed
temperature
range
must
be
established
as
the
minimum
and
maximum
15­
minute
biofilter
bed
temperatures
monitored
during
the

test
runs.
You
may
base
your
biofilter
bed
temperature
range
on
values
recorded
during
previous
performance
tests
provided
that
the
data
used
to
establish
the
temperature
ranges
have
been
obtained
using
the
test
methods
required
in

Continuous
Compliance
Requirements
§
63.2270
How
do
I
monitor
and
collect
data
to
demonstrate
continuous
compliance?

(
a)
You
must
monitor
and
collect
data
according
to
this
section.

(
b)
Except
for,
as
appropriate,
monitor
malfunctions,

associated
repairs,
and
required
quality
assurance
or
control
activities
(
including,
as
applicable,
calibration
checks
and
required
zero
and
span
adjustments),
you
must
conduct
all
monitoring
in
continuous
operation
at
all
times
that
the
process
unit
is
operating.
For
purposes
of
calculating
data
averages,
you
must
not
use
data
recorded
during
monitoring
malfunctions,
associated
repairs,

out­
of­
control
periods,
or
required
quality
assurance
or
control
activities.
You
must
use
all
the
data
collected
during
all
other
periods
in
assessing
compliance.
A
monitoring
malfunction
is
any
sudden,
infrequent,
not
reasonably
preventable
failure
of
the
monitoring
to
provide
valid
data.
Monitoring
failures
that
are
caused
in
part
by
poor
maintenance
or
careless
operation
are
not
malfunctions.

Any
period
for
which
the
monitoring
system
is
out­
of­
control
and
data
are
not
available
for
required
calculations
432
constitutes
a
deviation

Alternative
Procedure
to
Determine
Capture
Efficiency
from
Enclosures
Around
Hot
Presses
in
the
Plywood
and
Composite
Wood
Products
Industry
Using
Sulfur
Hexafluoride
Tracer
Gas
1.0
Scope
and
Application.

This
procedure
has
been
developed
specifically
for
the
rule
for
the
plywood
and
composite
wood
products
(
PCWP)
industry
and
is
used
to
determine
the
capture
efficiency
of
a
partial
hot
press
enclosure
in
that
industry.
This
procedure
is
applicable
for
the
determination
of
capture
efficiency
for
enclosures
around
hot
presses
and
is
an
alternative
to
the
construction
of
temporary
total
enclosures
(
TTE).
Sulfur
hexafluoride
(
SF6)
is
used
as
a
tracer
gas
(
other
tracer
gases
may
be
used
if
approved
by
the
EPA
Administrator).
This
gas
is
not
indigenous
to
the
ambient
atmosphere
and
is
nonreactive.

This
procedure
uses
infrared
spectrometry
(
IR)
as
the
analytical
technique.
When
the
infrared
spectrometer
used
is
a
Fourier­
Transform
Infrared
spectrometer
(
FTIR),
an
alternate
instrument
calibration
procedure
may
be
used;
the
alternate
calibration
procedure
is
the
calibration
transfer
standard
(
CTS)
procedure
of
EPA
Method
320
(
appendix
A
to
40
CFR
part
63).
Other
analytical
techniques
which
are
capable
of
equivalent
Method
Performance
(
Section
13.0)
also
may
be
used.
Specifically,
gas
chromatography
with
electron
capture
detection
(
GC/
ECD)
is
an
applicable
technique
for
analysis
of
SF6.

2.0
Summary
of
Method.

A
constant
mass
flow
rate
of
SF6
tracer
gas
is
released
through
manifolds
at
multiple
locations
within
the
enclosure
to
mimic
the
release
of
hazardous
air
pollutants
during
the
press
process.
This
test
method
requires
a
minimum
of
three
SF6
injection
points
(
two
at
the
press
unloader
and
one
at
the
press)
and
provides
details
about
considerations
for
locating
the
injection
points.
A
GC/
ECD
is
used
to
measure
the
concentration
of
SF6
at
the
inlet
duct
to
the
control
device
(
outlet
duct
from
enclosure).
Simultaneously,
EPA
Method
2
(
appendix
A
to
40
CFR
part
60)
is
used
to
measure
490
the
flow
rate
at
the
inlet
duct
to
the
control
device.
The
concentration
and
flow
rate
measurements
are
used
to
calculate
the
mass
emission
rate
of
SF6
at
the
control
device
inlet.
Through
calculation
of
the
mass
of
SF6
released
through
the
manifolds
and
the
mass
of
SF6
measured
at
the
inlet
to
the
control
device,
the
capture
efficiency
of
the
enclosure
is
calculated.

In
addition,
optional
samples
of
the
ambient
air
may
be
taken
at
locations
around
the
perimeter
of
the
enclosure
to
quantify
the
ambient
concentration
of
SF6
and
to
identify
those
areas
of
the
enclosure
that
may
be
performing
less
efficiently;
these
samples
would
be
taken
using
disposable
syringes
and
would
be
analyzed
using
a
GC/
ECD.

Finally,
in
addition
to
the
requirements
specified
in
this
procedure,
the
data
quality
objectives
(
DQO)
or
lower
confidence
limit
(
LCL)
criteria
specified
in
appendix
A
to
40

63,
subpart
KK,
Data
Quality
Objective
and
Lower
Confidence
Limit
Approaches
for

Protocols
and
Test
Methods,
must
also
be
satisfied.
A
minimum
of
three
test
runs
are
required
for
this
procedure;
however,
additional
test
runs
may
be
required
based
on
the
results
of
the
DQO
or
LCL
analysis.

3.0
Definitions.

3.1
Capture
efficiency
(
CE).
The
weight
per
unit
time
of
SF6
entering
the
control
device
divided
by
the
weight
per
unit
time
of
SF6
released
through
manifolds
at
multiple
locations
within
the
enclosure.

3.2
Control
device
(
CD).
The
equipment
used
to
reduce,
by
destruction
or
removal,
press
exhaust
air
pollutants
prior
to
discharge
to
the
ambient
air.

3.3
Control/
destruction
efficiency
(
DE).
The
volatile
organic
compound
or
HAP
removal
efficiency
of
the
control
device.

3.4
Data
Quality
Objective
(
DQO)
Approach.
A
statistical
procedure
to
determine
the
precision
of
the
data
from
a
test
series
and
to
qualify
the
data
in
the
determination
of
capture
efficiency
for
compliance
purposes.
If
the
results
of
the
DQO
analysis
of
the
initial
three
test
runs
do
not
satisfy
the
DQO
criterion,
the
LCL
approach
can
be
used
or
additional
test
runs
must
be
conducted.
If
additional
test
runs
are
conducted,
then
the
DQO
or
LCL
analysis
is
conducted
using
the
data
from
both
the
initial
491
test
runs
and
all
additional
test
runs.

3.5
Lower
Confidence
Limit
(
LCL)
Approach.
An
alternative
statistical
procedure
that
can
be
used
to
qualify
data
in
the
determination
of
capture
efficiency
for
compliance
purposes.
If
the
results
of
the
LCL
approach
produce
a
CE
that
is
too
low
for
demonstrating
compliance,
then
additional
test
runs
must
be
conducted
until
the
LCL
or
DQO
is
met.
As
with
the
DQO,
data
from
all
valid
test
runs
must
be
used
in
the
calculation.

3.6
Minimum
Measurement
Level
(
MML).
The
minimum
tracer
gas
concentration
expected
to
be
measured
during
the
test
series.
This
value
is
selected
by
the
tester
based
on
the
capabilities
of
the
IR
spectrometer
(
or
GC/
ECD)
and
the
other
known
or
measured
parameters
of
the
hot
press
enclosure
to
be
tested.
The
selected
MML
must
be
above
the
low­
level
calibration
standard
and
preferably
below
the
mid­
level
calibration
standard.

removing
moisture
using
a
condenser.

6.2.5
Analytical
Instrument.
Use
one
of
the
following
analytical
instruments.

6.2.1.1
Spectrometer.
Use
an
infrared
spectrometer
designed
to
measuring
SF6
tracer
gas
and
capable
of
meeting
or
exceeding
the
specifications
of
this
procedure.
An
FTIR
meeting
the
specifications
of
Method
320
in
appendix
A
to
40
CFR
part
63
may
be
used.

6.2.1.2
GC/
ECD.
Use
a
GC/
ECD
designed
to
measure
SF6
tracer
gas
and
capable
of
meeting
or
exceeding
the
specifications
of
this
procedure.

6.2.6
Recorder.
At
a
minimum,
use
a
recorder
with
linear
strip
chart.
An
automated
data
acquisition
system
(
DAS)
is
recommended.

6.3
Exhaust
Gas
Flow
Rate
Measurement.
Use
equipment
specified
for
EPA
Methods
2,
3,
and
4
in
appendix
A
to
40
CFR
part
60
for
measuring
flow
rate
of
exhaust
gas
at
the
inlet
to
the
control
device.

7.0
Reagents
and
Standards.

7.1
Tracer
Gas.
Use
SF6
as
the
tracer
gas.
The
494
manufacturer
of
the
SF6
tracer
gas
should
provide
a
recommended
shelf
life
for
the
tracer
gas
cylinder
over
which
the
concentration
does
not
change
more
than
±
2
percent
from
the
certified
value.
A
gas
mixture
of
SF6
diluted
with
nitrogen
should
be
used;
based
on
experience
and
calculations,
pure
SF6
gas
is
not
necessary
to
conduct
tracer
gas
testing.
Select
a
concentration
and
flow
rate
that
is
appropriate
for
the
analytical
instrument's
detection
limit,
the
MML,
and
the
exhaust
gas
flow
rate
from
the
enclosure
(
see
section
8.1.1).
You
may
use
a
tracer
gas
other
than
SF6
with
the
prior
approval
of
the
EPA
Administrator.
If
you
use
an
approved
tracer
gas
other
than
SF6,
all
references
to
SF6
in
this
protocol
instead
refer
to
the
approved
tracer
gas.

7.2
Calibration
Gases.
The
SF6
calibration
gases
required
will
be
dependent
on
the
selected
MML
and
the
appropriate
span
selected
for
the
test.
Commercial
cylinder
gases
certified
by
the
manufacturer
to
be
accurate
to
within
1
percent
of
the
certified
label
value
are
preferable,
although
cylinder
gases
certified
by
the
manufacturer
to
2
percent
accuracy
are
allowed.
Additionally,
the
manufacturer
of
the
SF6
calibration
gases
should
provide
a
recommended
shelf
life
for
each
calibration
gas
cylinder
over
which
the
concentration
does
not
change
more
than
±
2
percent
from
the
certified
value.
Another
option
allowed
by
this
method
is
for
the
tester
to
obtain
high
concentration
certified
cylinder
gases
and
then
use
a
dilution
system
meeting
the
requirements
of
EPA
Method
205,
40
CFR
part
51,
appendix
M,
to
make
multi­
level
calibration
gas
standards.
Low­
level,
mid­
level,
and
high­
level
calibration
gases
will
be
required.
The
MML
must
be
above
the
low­
level
standard,
the
high­
level
standard
must
be
no
more
than
four
times
the
low­
level
standard,
and
the
mid­
level
standard
must
be
approximately
halfway
between
the
high­
and
low­
level
standards.
See
section
12.1
for
an
example
calculation
of
this
procedure.
Note:
If
using
an
FTIR
as
the
analytical
instrument,
the
tester
has
the
option
of
following
the
CTS
procedures
of
Method
320
in
appendix
A
to
40
CFR
part
63;
the
calibration
standards
(
and
procedures)
specified
in
Method
320
may
be
used
in
lieu
of
the
calibration
standards
and
procedures
in
this
protocol.

7.2.1
Zero
Gas.
High
purity
nitrogen.

7.2.2
Low­
Level
Calibration
Gas.
An
SF6
calibration
gas
in
nitrogen
with
a
concentration
equivalent
to
20
to
30
percent
of
the
applicable
span
value.
495
7.2.3
Mid­
Level
Calibration
Gas.
An
SF6
calibration
gas
in
nitrogen
with
a
concentration
equivalent
to
45
to
55
percent
of
the
applicable
span
value.

7.2.4
High­
Level
Calibration
Gas.
An
SF6
calibration
gas
in
nitrogen
with
a
concentration
equivalent
to
80
to
90
percent
of
the
applicable
span
value.

Test
Design.

8.1.1
Determination
of
Minimum
Tracer
Gas
Flow
Rate.

8.1.1.1
Determine
(
via
design
calculations
or
measurements)
the
approximate
flow
rate
of
the
exhaust
gas
through
the
enclosure,
actual
cubic
feet
per
minute
(
acfm).

8.1.1.2
Calculate
the
minimum
tracer
gas
injection
rate
necessary
to
assure
a
detectable
SF6
concentration
at
the
exhaust
gas
measurement
point
(
see
section
12.1
for
calculation).

8.1.1.3
Select
a
flow
meter
for
the
injection
system
with
an
operating
range
appropriate
for
the
injection
rate
selected.

8.1.2
Determination
of
the
Approximate
Time
to
Reach
Equilibrium.

8.1.2.1
Determine
the
volume
of
the
enclosure.

8.1.2.2
Calculate
the
air
changes
per
minute
of
the
enclosure
by
dividing
the
approximate
exhaust
flow
rate
(
8.1.1.1
above)
by
the
enclosed
volume
(
8.1.2.1
above).

8.1.2.3
Calculate
the
time
at
which
the
tracer
concentration
in
the
enclosure
will
achieve
approximate
equilibrium.
Divide
3
by
the
air
changes
per
minute
(
8.1.2.2
above)
to
establish
this
time.
This
is
the
approximate
length
of
time
for
the
system
to
come
to
equilibrium.
Concentration
equilibrium
occurs
when
the
tracer
concentration
in
the
enclosure
stops
changing
as
a
function
of
time
for
a
constant
tracer
release
rate.
Because
the
press
is
continuously
cycling,
equilibrium
may
be
exhibited
by
a
repeating,
but
stable,
cyclic
pattern
rather
than
a
single
constant
concentration
value.
Assure
sufficient
tracer
gas
is
available
to
allow
the
system
to
come
to
equilibrium,
and
to
sample
for
a
minimum
of
20
minutes
and
repeat
the
procedure
for
a
minimum
of
three
test
runs.
Additional
test
runs
may
be
required
based
on
the
results
of
the
DQO
and
LCL
analyses
described
in
40
CFR
part
496
63,
subpart
KK,
appendix
A.

8.1.3
Location
of
Injection
Points.
This
method
requires
a
minimum
of
three
tracer
gas
injection
points.
The
injection
points
should
be
located
within
leak
prone,
volatile
organic
compound/
hazardous
air
pollutant
(
VOC/
HAP)
producing
areas
around
the
press,
or
horizontally
within
12
inches
of
the
defined
equipment.
One
potential
configuration
of
the
injection
points
is
depicted
in
Figure
1.
The
effect
of
wind,
exfiltration
through
the
building
envelope,
and
air
flowing
through
open
building
doors
should
be
considered
when
locating
tracer
gas
injection
points
within
the
enclosure.
The
injection
points
should
also
be
located
at
a
vertical
elevation
equal
to
the
VOC/
HAP
generating
zones.
The
injection
points
should
not
be
located
beneath
obstructions
that
would
prevent
a
natural
dispersion
of
the
gas.
Document
the
selected
injection
points
in
a
drawing(
s).

8.1.4
Location
of
Flow
Measurement
and
Tracer
Sampling.
Accurate
CD
inlet
gas
flow
rate
measurements
are
critical
to
the
success
of
this
procedure.
Select
a
measurement
location
meeting
the
criteria
of
EPA
Method
1
(
40
CFR
part
60,
appendix
A),
Sampling
and
Velocity
Traverses
for
Stationary
Sources.
Also,
when
selecting
the
measurement
location,
consider
whether
stratification
of
the
tracer
gas
is
likely
at
the
location
(
e.
g.,
do
not
select
a
location
immediately
after
a
point
of
air
in­
leakage
to
the
duct).

8.2
Tracer
Gas
Release.
Release
the
tracer
gas
at
a
calculated
flow
rate
(
see
section
12.1
for
calculation)
through
a
minimum
of
three
injection
manifolds
located
as
described
above
in
8.1.3.
The
tracer
gas
delivery
lines
must
be
routed
into
the
enclosure
and
attached
to
the
manifolds
without
violating
the
integrity
of
the
enclosure.

8.3
Pretest
Measurements.

8.3.1
Location
of
Sampling
Point(
s).
If
stratification
is
not
suspected
at
the
measurement
location,
select
a
single
sample
point
located
at
the
centroid
of
the
CD
inlet
duct
or
at
a
point
no
closer
to
the
CD
inlet
duct
walls
than
1
meter.
If
stratification
is
suspected,
establish
a
"
measurement
line"
that
passes
through
the
