Short
Characterization/
Abstract
The
National
Emissions
Standards
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
for
Polyether
Polyols
Production,
(
40
CFR
Part
63)
was
proposed
on
June
l,
1999.
and
published
January
30,
2002.

These
regulations
apply
to
new
and
existing
facilities
that
engage
in
the
manufacture
of
polyether
polyols
(
which
also
include
polyether
mono­
ols)
and
emit
hazardous
air
pollutants
(
HAP).

Owners
or
operators
of
polyether
polyols
production
facilities
to
which
this
regulation
is
applicable
must
choose
one
of
the
compliance
options
described
in
the
rule
or
install
and
monitor
a
specific
control
system
that
reduces
HAP
emissions
to
the
compliance
level.
The
respondents
are
also
subject
to
sections
of
Subpart
A
relating
to
NESHAP.

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
start­
up,
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.
2
In
the
event
that
there
is
no
such
delegated
authority,
the
reports
are
sent
directly
to
the
EPA
Regional
Office.
There
are
approximately
79
facilities
that
are
subject
to
the
regulation
and
according
to
the
industry
trade
association,
three
new
facilities
are
expected
to
be
constructed
in
the
next
3
years,
with
existing
plants
not
adding
additional
polyether
polyol
processing
units
which
may
be
considered
a
major
modification
or
reconstruction.
The
predominant
HAP's
used
in
polyether
polyols
production
include
ethylene
oxide,
propylene
oxide,
toluene,
and
hexane.

The
information
will
be
used
by
Agency
enforcement
personnel
to
(
1)
identify
new,
modified,

reconstructed,
and
existing
sources
subject
to
the
standards;
and
(
2)
ensure
that
MACT
is
being
properly
applied
and
that
compliance
is
being
maintained
and
documented.

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,
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
judgement,
the
pollutants
emitted
from
polyester
polyols
production
facilities
cause
or
contribute
significantly
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health.
Therefore,
this
source
category
was
listed
for
regulation
under
section
112,
40
CFR
Part
63,

Subpart
PPP.

TERMS
OF
CLEARANCE:
This
information
collection
request
number
1811.03
OMB
3
number
2060­
0415
is
a
renewal
and
the
annual
report
and
recordkeeping
burden
hours
and
cost
burden
hours
are
reflected
on
the
OMB
form
83­
1­­
blocks
13
and
14
respectively.
These
costs
reflect
projected
facility
growth
of
one
new
facility
per
year
over
the
next
three
years.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
HAPs
from
polyester,
polyol
production
facilities
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.

Emissions
of
HAPs
from
polyester,
polyol
production
facilities
are
the
result
of
operation
of
the
affected
facilities.
The
subject
standards
are
achieved
by
the
reduce
of
HAPs
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/
or
leaks
are
being
detected
and
repaired
and
the
regulations
are
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
standards,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
The
semiannual
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
and
achieve
compliance
with
the
regulation.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
is
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
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requested
is
required
under
40
CFR
Part
63
Subpart
PPP.

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
4
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
January
30,
2002.
No
comments
were
received
..

3(
c)
Consultations
We
contacted
the
Society
of
the
Plastic
Industry
(
SPI)
and
the
American
Plastic
Industry
(
API)
regarding
the
number
of
facilities
that
are
or
are
projected
to
be
subject
to
this
rule
and
the
responses
were
inclusive.
For
the
purpose
of
this
Information
Collection
Request,
number
1811.03,

entitled:
NESHAP
for
Polyester
Polyols
Production,
40
CFR
Part
63,
Subpart
PPP,
we
anticipate
facility
growth
rate
at
one
facility
over
the
next
three
years.
No
comments
were
received
from
the
Federal
Register
on
January
30,
2002.

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
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

Information
Requested
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
records
retention
requirement
is
consistent
the
Part
70
permit
program
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.

might
inspect
the
source
to
determine
whether
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly

are
used
by
the
Agency
to
discern
a

initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standards.
Data
and
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
for
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.
The
semiannual

are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a

The
Agency
does
not
expect
that
any

Estimating
Labor
Costs
This
ICR
uses
a
Technical
Labor
Rate
of
$
55.34
per
hour,
$
78.54
per
hour
for
Executive,
Administrative,
and
Managerial
labor;
$
55.34
per
hour
for
Technical
labor,
and
$
35.64
per
hour
for
Clerical
labor.
These
rate(

Estimating
Capital/
Startup
and
Operation
and
Maintenance
Costs
Capital
costs
for
information
collection
at
polyester
polyols
production
facilities
are
only
associated
with
purchasing
equipment
an
supplies,
and
equipment
installation
and
maintenance
for
process
vent
monitoring.
Equipment
costs
are
annualized
over
5
years
at
10
percent
interest.

The
capital
costs,
assumed
to
be
a
one­
time
cost
for
the
life
of
the
equipment,
were
estimated
to
be
$
9,385
per
source.
The
total
costs
for
the
first
year
80
plants
are
$
750,800.

The
only
type
of
industry
costs
associated
with
the
information
collection
activity
in
the
regulations
are
labor
costs.
The
capital/
startup
costs
are
one
time
costs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
regulation.
The
annual
operation
and
maintenance
costs
are
the
ongoing
costs
to
maintain
the
monitor
and
other
costs
such
as
photocopying
and

will
occur
as
part
of
the
periodic
inspection
of
sources,

which
is
part
of
EPA's
overall,
compliance
and
enforcement
program.
The
average
annual
Agency
cost
during
the

Bottom
Line
­
The
difference
in
the
adjustment
as
noted
on
OMB

is
due
to
a
projected
facility
growth
of
one
facility
per

over
the
next
three
years.

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
increase
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
an
increase
in
the
number
of
projected
new

over
the
next
three
years.
