Characterization/
Abstract
The
National
Emission
Standards
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
(
NESHAP),
for
Epoxy
Resin
and
Non­
Nylon
Polyamide
Production
were
proposed
on
May
16,
1994,
and
promulgated
on
March
8,
1995.
This
standard
applies
to
all
facilities
that
manufacture
polymers
and
resins
from
epichlorohydrin.
These
sources
include
existing
and
new
facilities
producing
basic
liquid
epoxy
resin
(
BLR)
and
epichlorohydrin­
modified
non­
nylon
polyamide
resins,
also
known
as
wet
strength
resins
(
WSR).
The
source
subject
to
this
provision
emits
the
hazardous
air
pollutants
(
HAPs)
epichlorohydrin,
and
in
lesser
amounts,
hydrochloric
acid
and
methanol.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
W.

Owners
or
operators
of
the
affected
sources
described
must
make
a
one­
time­
only
notification
of
any
physical
or
operational
change
to
an
existing
facility
which
may
increase
the
regulated
pollutant
emission
rate,
notification
of
initial
performance
tests,
including
information
necessary
to
determine
the
conditions
of
the
performance
test,
performance
test
measurements
and
results,
and
notification
of
demonstration
of
the
continuous
monitoring
system
(
CMS).
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.
Quarterly
reports
of
excess
emissions
are
required.
Quarterly
reporting
may
be
reduced
to
semiannually
if
continuous
compliance
is
achieved
for
12
months.
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
will
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.

Approximately
seven
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard,
three
basic
liquid
epoxy
resins
(
BLR)
plants
and
four
wet
strength
resins
(
WSR)
plants.
The
growth
rate
for
this
2
industry
is
estimated
to
be
zero,
so
no
new
sources
are
likely
to
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.
A
thorough
review
of
current
information
for
the
industry
verifies
a
decrease
of
sources
as
compared
to
the
active
ICR.
The
cost
of
this
ICR
will
be
$
243,711
per
year.

OMB
approved
the
currently
active
ICR
without
any
"
Terms
of
Clearance."

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
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
will
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
pollutants
emissions
from
epichlorohydrin,
methanol
and
hydrochloric
acid
from
epoxy
resin
and
non­
nylon
polyamide
resin
production,
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
the
NESHAP
was
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
(
HAP)
from
epichlorohydrin,
methanol
and
hydrochloric
acid
from
epoxy
resin
and
non­
nylon
polyamide
resin
production
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
HAP
from
manufacture
of
basic
liquid
epoxy
resins
(
BLR)
and
wet
strength
resins
(
WSR)
are
the
result
of
operation
of
those
facilities.
The
subject
3
standards
are
achieved
by
the
reduction
of
HAP
emissions
using
control
technology
and
leak
detection
and
repair
procedures.

The
notifications
required
in
the
applicable
regulations
are
used
to
inform
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
when
a
source
becomes
subject
to
the
requirements
of
the
regulations.
The
reviewing
authority
may
then
inspect
the
source
to
check
if
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated
and
leaks
are
being
detected
and
repaired
and
the
regulations
are
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
records
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standards,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
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
NESHAP
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
in
compliance
with
the
regulation.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
are
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulations,
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
requested
recordkeeping
and
reporting
are
required
under
(
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
W).

3(
a)
Nonduplication
If
the
subject
standards
have
not
been
delegated,
the
information
is
sent
directly
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
standards
to
implement
the
Federal
standards,
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
standards.
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
68
FR
62289
on
November
3,
2003.
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
For
this
information
collection,
we
referenced
the
most
recent
ICR,
the
preparer
of
the
active
ICR,
and
accessed
the
most
recent
data
available
on
the
Air
Facility
System
(
AFS)
database
4
as
maintained
by
the
Office
of
Compliance.
We
reviewed
information
available
from
the
United
States
Census
Bureau,
and
other
websites
covering
epoxy
resin
and
non­
nylon
polyamide
resin.
We
consulted
with
the
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards,
Information
Transfer,
the
Program
Integration
Division
and
Georgia
Pacific
Corporation
Resin
Division,
Mr.
Randy
Roden,
(

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
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
None
of
these
reporting
or
recordkeeping
requirements
violate
any
of
the
regulations
established
by
OMB
at
5
CFR
Part
1320,
Section
1320.5.

These
standards
require
affected
facilities
to
maintain
all
records,
including
reports
and
notifications
for
at
least
five
years.
This
is
consistent
with
the
General
Provisions
as
applied
to
the
standards.
EPA
believes
that
the
five­
year
record's
retention
requirement
is
consistent
with
Part
70
permit
programs
and
the
five­
year
statute
of
limitations
on
which
the
permit
program
is
based.
Also,
the
retention
of
records
for
five
years
would
allow
EPA
to
establish
the
compliance
history
of
a
source
and
any
pattern
of
compliance
for
purposes
of
determining
the
appropriate
level
of
enforcement
action.
Historically,
EPA
has
found
that
the
most
flagrant
violators
frequently
have
violations
extending
beyond
the
five
years.
EPA
would
be
prevented
from
pursuing
the
worst
violators
due
to
the
destruction
or
nonexistence
of
records
if
records
were
retained
for
less
than
five
years.

3(
f)
Confidentiality
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
Title
40,
Chapter
1,

Presently,
sources
are
using
monitoring
equipment
that
provides
parameter
data
in
an
automated
fashion,
e.
g.,
leaks
and
spills
of
liquid
epoxy
resin
and
wet
strength
resins.
Although
personnel
at
the
source
are
still
required
to
evaluate
the
data,
this
type
of
monitoring
equipment
has
significantly
reduced
the
burden
associated
with
monitoring
and
recordkeeping.
In
addition,
some
regulatory
agencies
are
setting
up
electronic
reporting
systems
to
allow
sources
to
report
electronically,
which
is
reducing
the
reporting
burden.
However,
electronic
reporting
systems
are
still
not
widely
used
by
the
regulatory
agencies.
It
is
estimated
that
approximately
10
percent
of
the
respondents
use
electronic
reporting.

Input,
analyze,
and
maintain
data
in
the
Air
Facility
System
(
AFS).

5(
b)
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
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
the
AFS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
the
EPA's
Office
of
Compliance.
AFS
is
the
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
more
than
100,000
industrial
and
government­
owned
facilities.
EPA
uses
the
AFS
for
tracking
air
pollution
compliance
and
enforcement
by
local
and
state
regulatory
agencies,
EPA
regional
offices
and
EPA
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(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
A
majority
of
the
affected
facilities
are
large
entities
(
e.
g.,
large
businesses).
However,
the
impact
on
small
entities
(
i.
e.,
small
businesses)
was
taken
into
consideration
during
the
development
of
the
regulation.
Due
to
technical
considerations
involving
the
process
operations
and
the
types
of
control
equipment
employed,
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
are
the
same
for
both
small
and
large
entities.
The
Agency
considers
these
requirements
the
minimum
needed
to
ensure
compliance
and,
therefore,
cannot
reduce
them
further
for
small
entities.
To
the
9
extent
that
larger
businesses
can
use
economies
of
scale
to
reduce
their
burden,
the
overall
burden
will
be
reduced.

5(

The
specific

activity
within

request
is

The
individual

are
expressed
under
standardized
headings
believed
to
be
consistent
with
the
concept
of
burdens
under
the
Paperwork

Act.
Where
appropriate,
specific
tasks
and
major
assumptions
have
been
identified.
Responses
to

of
information
unless
it
displays
a
currently
valid
OMB
Control

6(
a)
Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
estimated
to
be
3,853
hours
(
Total
Labor
Hours
from
Table
1).
These
hours
are
based
on
Agency
studies
and
background
documents
from
the
development
of
the
regulation,
Agency
knowledge
and
experience
with
the
NESHAP
program,
the
previously
approved
ICR,
and
any
comments
received.

have
been
increased
by

to
account
for
the

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
costs
to
the
Agency
are
those
costs
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
information.
The
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program
includes
activities
such
as
the
examination
of
records
maintained
by
the
respondents,
periodic
inspection
of
sources
of
emissions,
and
the
publication
and
distribution
of
collected
information.

The
average
annual
Agency
cost
during
the
three
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
11,324.
This
cost
is
based
on
the

Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs
Based
on
our
research
for
this
ICR,
approximately
seven
existing
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard.
It
is
estimated
that
no
additional
sources
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.

The
number
of
respondents
is
calculated
using
the
following
table
which
addresses
the
three
years
covered
by
this

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
adjustment
decrease
in
the
hourly
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
in
part
to
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
sources.
There
are
thirteen
sources
in
the
active
ICR
compared
to
seven
sources
in
the
renewal,
thus
reflecting
the
change
in
the
hourly
burden.
Even
13
though
there
is
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
sources
in
the
renewal
ICR,
the
total
burden
and
cost
show
a
slight
increase.
This
increase
in
cost
is
due
to
a
revised
hourly
labor
rate
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Labor.

The
annual
public

Assumptions:

a
This
ICR
uses
the
following
labor
rates:
$
93.09
per
hour
for
Executive,
Administrative,
and
Managerial
labor;
$
64.13
per
hour
for
Technical
labor,
and
$
39.65
per
hour
for
Clerical
labor.
These
rates
are
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Labor,
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
June
2003,
"
Table
10.
Private
industry,
by
occupational
and
industry
group."

b
Assume
that
there
will
be
no
new
sources
over
the
next
three
years
subject
to
this
rule.

c
Assume
that
this
is
a
one­
time­
only
cost.

d
For
all
wet
strength
resins
(
WSR)
facilities,
as
an
alternative
to
implementing
the
standards
for
process
vents,
storage
tanks,
and
wastewater,
these
facilities
may
elect
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
H
­
leak
detection
and
repair
program
for
equipment
leaks.
Because
of
it
being
more
cost­
effective,

it
is
assumed
that
all
WSR
facilities
will
choose
to
comply
with
the
alternative
standard.
These
facilities
are
not
required
to
have
the
continuous
monitoring
systems
(
CMS)
installed.

e
Assume
that
one
facility
will
have
a
physical
or
operational
change.

f
It
will
require
one
test
each
for
wastewater
and
process
vents.

g
It
is
assumed
that
one
facility
will
have
excess
emissions.

h
Assume
that
there
are
seven
sources
that
are
subject
to
this
regulation,
so
the
number
of
sources
without
excess
emission
reports
is
six.

i
It
is
assumed
that
no
area
sources
are
expected
to
become
major
sources.

j
Assume
that
one
facility
will
request
a
waiver.

k
Assume
that
there
are
three
basic
liquid
resins
(
BLR)
manufacturing
facilities
l
These
parameters
will
automatically
be
recorded
with
a
data
logger.

m
Assume
that
there
are
four
WSR
facilities
subject
to
the
rule.

n
Assume
it
will
take
two
hours
to
record
wastewater
parameters
during
the
monthly
monitoring.

o
Assume
startup,
shutdown,
and/
or
malfunction
(
SSM)
will
occur
eight
times
per
facility.

p
Assume
it
takes
one
deviation
from
SSM
plan
per
year
per
facility.

q
Assume
it
will
take
two
hours
to
submit
semiannual
(
SSM)
reports.

r
Quarterly
reporting
may
be
reduced
to
semiannual
reporting
for
sources
that
are
in
compliance
for
one
year.
