Characterization/
Abstract
The
revised
National
Emission
Standards
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
(
NESHAP),
for
Asbestos
were
proposed
on
January
10,1989
and
promulgated
on
November
20,
1990.
The
standards
apply
to
the
following
facilities:
demolition
and
renovation
of
facilities;
the
disposal
of
asbestos
waste;
asbestos
milling,
manufacturing
and
fabricating;
the
use
of
asbestos
on
roadways;

asbestos
waste
conversion
facilities;
and
the
use
of
asbestos
insulation
and
sprayed­
on
materials.

This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
Part
61
Subpart
M.

Milling,
Manufacturing,
Fabricating,
Waste
Disposal
and
Waste
Conversion
Facilities
Owners
or
operators
of
the
affected
milling,
manufacturing,
fabricating,
waste
disposal,

and
waste
conversion
facilities
described
must
make
the
following
one­
time­
only
reports:

notification
of
the
date
of
construction
or
reconstruction;
notification
of
the
anticipated
and
actual
dates
of
startup;
notification
of
any
physical
or
operational
change
to
an
existing
facility
which
may
increase
the
regulated
pollutant
emission
rate.
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
required,
in
general,
of
milling,
manufacturing,
2
fabricating,
and
waste
disposal
sources
subject
to
the
NESHAP
Subpart
M.

The
recordkeeping
requirements
for
the
facilities
mentioned
above
consist
of
the
occurrence
and
duration
of
any
startup
and
malfunction
as
described.
They
include
the
initial
performance
test
results
including
information
necessary
to
determine
the
conditions
of
the
performance
test,
and
performance
test
measurements
and
results,
including
monitoring
each
potential
source
of
asbestos
emissions
for
visible
emissions
to
the
outside
air
and
inspecting
air
cleaning
devices
to
ensure
proper
operation.
Records
of
startups,
shutdowns,
and
malfunctions
should
be
noted
as
they
occur.
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
two
years
following
the
date
of
such
measurements,
maintenance
reports,
and
records.

The
reporting
requirements
for
this
industry
currently
include
the
initial
notifications
listed,

the
initial
performance
test
results,
and
quarterly
reports
of
instances
when
visible
emissions
are
observed
at
any
time
during
the
quarter.

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.
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
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated,
and
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
note
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.

The
quarterly
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.
3
Renovations
and
Demolitions
Owners
and
operators
of
demolitions
and
renovations
must
notify
EPA
in
advance
of
the
initiation
of
any
asbestos
removal
work.
The
notice
provides
information
on
the
dates
of
operation,
the
nature
of
the
removal
operation,
the
quantity
of
asbestos,
and
controls
to
be
used.

The
reviewing
authority
may
then
inspect
the
source
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
standard.

Demolitions
and
renovations
tend
to
be
short
projects,
and
it
is
difficult
at
best
to
determine
compliance
with
the
standard
once
the
project
has
been
completed.
Therefore,
it
is
important
that
the
delegated
authority
be
notified
of
the
changes
as
necessary
when
information
in
the
original
notification
changes.
Additionally,
without
notification
of
the
changes,
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
may
needlessly
inspect
a
demolition
or
renovation
site
where
the
project
has
been
delayed.
The
demolition
and
renovation
standard
requires
that
a
representative
(
such
as
a
foreman
or
management­
level
person)
trained
in
the
provisions
of
the
standard
be
present
at
the
facility.
Evidence
that
the
required
training
has
been
completed
is
required
in
order
to
ensure
compliance
with
this
provision
of
the
standard.
The
regulation
requires
asbestos
removal
contractors
that
claim
exemption
from
the
wetting
provisions
because
of
freezing
temperatures
to
take
temperature
readings
throughout
the
day
and
record
the
information.
The
provisions
require
that
all
containers
of
asbestos
waste
be
labeled
including
the
name
of
the
waste
generator
and
the
location
of
where
the
waste
was
generated.
Owners
or
operators
of
demolitions
and
renovations
are
required
to
prepare
and
maintain,
for
at
least
two
years,
records
of
each
waste
shipment
as
to
its
destination,
the
quantity
of
waste,
and
the
date
of
shipment,
and
to
furnish
a
copy
of
the
record
to
disposal
site
owners
or
operators.
The
regulation
also
requires
that
the
generators
of
asbestos
waste
attempt
to
reconcile
instances
in
which
a
signed
copy
of
the
waste
shipment
record
is
not
received
from
the
disposal
site
and
that
the
generator
notify
EPA
if
delivery
to
the
disposal
site
4
cannot
be
confirmed.

Owners
and
operators
of
waste
disposal
sites
are
required
to
document
all
asbestos
waste
shipments
that
are
received
and
send
a
copy
of
each
record
back
to
the
generator.
A
record
of
the
location
and
quantity
of
asbestos
in
the
landfill
is
required
as
well
as
noting
the
presence
and
location
of
asbestos
in
the
landfill
property
deed.
Disposal
site
owners
and
operators
have
to
report
to
EPA
any
discrepancies
between
the
amount
of
waste
designated
on
the
waste
shipment
record
and
the
amount
actually
received,
as
well
as
instances
of
improperly
contained
waste.

Disposal
sites
are
required
to
maintain
records
for
at
least
two
years.
An
owner
or
operator
of
an
operation
in
which
asbestos­
containing
materials
are
spray­
applied
must
notify
EPA
in
advance
of
the
spraying
operation.
The
notice
provides
information
on
the
name
and
address
of
the
owner
or
operator,
location
of
the
spraying
operation,
and
procedures
to
be
followed.

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
2
years
following
the
date
of
such
measurements,
and
records.

There
are
approximately
430
milling,
manufacturing
and
fabricating
sources
based
on
a
recent
Air
Facility
Subsystem
(
AFS)
review.
No
new
facilities
were
identified
as
having
notified
in
the
past
three
years.
There
is
no
expectation
that
there
will
be
an
increase
in
the
number
of
active
sources.

There
were
8,434
operators
at
92,790
demolition/
renovation
sources
identified
as
of
FY
2001
that
notified
the
National
Asbestos
Registry
System
(
NARS).
This
is
an
increase
of
1,
234
over
the
past
three
years
or
311
per
year.
It
is
expected
this
number
will
remain
the
same
for
the
next
three
years
as
renovations
and
demolitions
will
continue.
5
It
is
estimated
that
there
are
1,967
waste
disposal
sites
in
existence
as
of
2000
(
EPA's
Office
of
Solid
Waste,

Solid
Waste
Division,

facts.
htm).
Of
these,
one­
half
allow
the
disposal
of
asbestos
containing
material
(
984
sites).
It
is
estimated
that
10
waste
disposal
sites
will
close
and
10
additional
waste
disposal
sites
each
year
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.
The
cost
of
this
ICR
will
be
$
2,869,124
for
milling,
manufacturing
and
fabricating,

$
1,481,233
for
waste
disposal
and
$
12,676,608
for
demolition
and
renovations
or
a
total
of
$
16,613,609
dollars.
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.

OMB
approved

currently
active
ICR
without
any

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
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
or
methods
(
in
accordance
with
such
methods
at
such
locations,
at
such
intervals,
and
in
such
manner
as
the
Administrator
shall
prescribe),
and
(
D)
sample
such
emissions,
(
E)
6
keep
records
on
control
equipment
parameters,
production
variables
or
other
indirect
data
when
direct
monitoring
of
emissions
is
impractical,
(
F)
submit
compliance
certifications,
and
(
G)
provide
such
other
information
as
he
may
reasonably
require.

In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
asbestos
emissions
from
the
demolition
and
renovation
of
asbestos­
containing
structures;
the
disposal
of
asbestos
waste;
waste
conversion;
asbestos
milling,

manufacturing,
and
fabricating;
the
use
of
asbestos
on
roadways;
the
use
of
asbestos
insulation
and
spray
materials;
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
NESHAP
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
Part
61
Subpart
M.

2(
b)
PRACTICAL
UTILITY/
USERS
OF
THE
DATA
The
control
of
emissions
of
asbestos
from
the
regulated
sources
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
asbestos
from
the
regulated
sources
are
the
result
of
operation
of
those
sources
(
milling,
manufacturing,
fabricating,
waste
disposal,
and
demolition
and
renovation).

These
standards
rely
on
the
capture
and
reduction
of
asbestos
emissions
by
air
cleaning
equipment
and
specified
work
practices.
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
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated,
the
work
practices
are
being
followed
and
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
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
7
was
achieved.
Thereafter,
semi­
annual
reports,
if
required,
of
any
visible
emissions.
Waste
conversion
facilities
must
report
initial
testing
conditions
that
become
normal
operating
conditions
for
the
plant.
The
quarterly
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.
Notification
for
each
demolition
or
renovation
activity
allows
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
to
plan
for
inspections
of
the
source
in
order
to
determine
compliance
with
the
work
practices.
Since
each
demolition
or
renovation
is
transitory
in
nature,
notification
must
be
made
for
each
activity
above
the
threshold
limits
specified
in
the
regulation.
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
and
achieve
compliance
with
the
regulation.
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
3(
a)
Nonduplication
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requested
is
required
under
40
CFR
Part
61
Subpart
M.

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
8
exists.

3(

requirements.
They
had

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.

The
primary
reporting
and

burden
under
NESHAP
Subpart
M
is
for
demolition

renovation
activities.
A
notice
must
be
submitted
before
each
demolition
or
renovation.
Most
of
the
information
contained
in
the
notification
is
information
required
by
the
abatement
contractor
to
bid
on
and
perform
the
demolition
or
renovation
activity.
This
ICR
minimizes
the
need
to
develop
new
information.
With
the
increasing
use
of
computers
and
electronic
form
software,
demolition
and
renovation
notifications
can
be
prepared
using
available
software
thus
minimizing
the
entry
of
information.
A
properly
completed
form
will
be
able
to
be
used
for
each
new
notification,
just
update
the
specifics
for
each
job.
However,
under
the
current
regulations,
only
a
paper
copy
is
acceptable
for
the
Notification
requirements.

EPA
conducts
the
following
activities
in
connection
with
the
acquisition,
analysis,
storage,
15
and
distribution
of
the
required
information.

Agency
Activities
Observe

if
necessary.

Review

database.

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
note
the
operating
conditions
as
determined
during
the
test
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
The
Agency
may
also
choose
to
inspect
active
demolition
or
renovation
sites
to
ensure
that
proper
work
practices
are
followed.
Data
and
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
for
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.

The
quarterly
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

Information
contained
in
the
notification
is
entered
into
NARS,
information
contained
in
the
reports
is
entered
into
AFS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards.
NARS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection
and
tracking
of
asbestos
abatement
contractor
activity
and
compliance
record.
AFS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,

maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
over
100,000
16
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
two
years.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
were
selected
within
the
context
of
this
specific
subpart
and
the
specific
process
equipment
and
pollutant(
s).
The
requirements
reflect
the
burden
on
small
businesses.
To
the
extent
that
larger
businesses
can
use
economies
of
scale
to
reduce
their
burden,
the
overall
burden
will
be
reduced.
Although
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
are
the
same
for
small
and
larger
businesses,
the
Agency
considers
these
requirements
the
minimum
needed
to
ensure
compliance
and,
therefore,
cannot
reduce
them
further
for
small
businesses.
In
fact,
for
demolition
and
renovation
activities,
this
sector
would
most
likely
not
exist
if
EPA
did
not
regulate
how
asbestos­
containing
material
(
material
containing
greater
than
1
percent
asbestos)
must
be
handled.
There
is
no
notification
required
for
renovations
that
involve
disturbing
less
than
160
square
feet
or
260
linear
feet
of
asbestoscontaining
material.

is
estimated
at
342,249

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
While
there
was
no
new
regulatory
requirements
implemented
since
the
last
approved
ICR.
The
number
of
contractors
increased
by
1,143
(
7,200
in
FY
1999
to
8,343
in
FY
2001).

This
increase
is
due
to
new
businesses
being
formed
to
undertake
hazardous
materials
abatement,

e.
g.,
asbestos
and
lead.
The
number
of
waste
disposal
sites
decreased
due
to
more
accurate
numbers
of
municipal
waste
disposal
facilities
identified
by
the
Office
of
Solid
Waste.
