Characterization/
Abstract
The
Maximum
Achievable
Control
Technology
(
MACT)
Standard
for
Chromium
Emissions
from
Hard
and
Decorative
Chromium
Electroplating
and
Chromium
Anodizing
Tanks
was
proposed
on
December
16,
1993
and
promulgated
on
January
25,
1995.
This
rule
applies
to
sources
performing
hard
chromium
electroplating,
decorative
chromium
electroplating,
and
chromium
anodizing.
The
affected
source
is
each
chromium
electroplating
or
chromium
anodizing
tank.

In
general
all
MACT
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,
in
general,
of
all
sources
subject
to
MACT
standards.
Respondents
that
are
not
required
to
conduct
an
initial
performance
test
(
i.
e.,
decorative
chromium
electroplating
or
chromium
anodizing
operations
that
use
a
wetting
agent
and
meet
the
surface
tension
limit
in
the
NESHAP,
and
decorative
chromium
electroplating
operations
that
use
a
trivalent
chromium
bath)
are
required
to
notify
the
Administrator
of
the
initial
compliance
status
of
the
source.
On
an
ongoing
basis,
all
respondents
that
are
major
sources
are
required
to
submit,
at
a
minimum,
semiannual
compliance
status
reports.
Respondents
that
are
area
sources
must
prepare
an
annual
compliance
status
report
and
retain
it
onsite.
(
For
the
purposes
of
this
report,
all
respondents
are
assumed
to
be
area
sources
because
very
few
major
sources
have
been
identified,
and
these
sources
are
major
based
on
collocation
only.)

Respondents
are
required
to
maintain
several
records
for
a
minimum
of
5
years.
These
records
include:
operation
and
maintenance
records,
records
of
all
monitoring
data,
any
records
of
excess
emissions,
total
process
operating
time,
and,
for
hard
chromium
electroplating
operations,
the
cumulative
rectifier
capacity.
Monitoring
data
vary
depending
on
the
control
technique
used
2
and
include:
measuring
the
pressure
drop
across
the
unit
(
for
composite
mesh­
pad
systems
and
packed­
bed
scrubbers),
the
velocity
pressure
at
the
inlet
of
the
control
system
(
for
packed­
bed
scrubbers),
the
surface
tension
(
for
wetting
agents),
and
the
foam
thickness
(
for
foam
blankets).
Sources
using
add­
on
control
devices
must
also
keep
records
of
inspections
to
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
operation
and
maintenance
work
practice
standards.
Owners
or
operators
of
decorative
chromium
electroplating
operations
that
use
a
trivalent
chromium
bath
are
only
required
to
keep
purchase
records
of
the
bath
components.
All
records
will
be
used
to
determine
whether
sources
subject
to
the
NESHAP
are
achieving
the
standard.
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.

There
are
an
estimated
total
of
5,020
chromium
electroplating
and
anodizing
operations
nationwide.
Of
this
total,
approximately
1,540
are
hard
chromium
electroplating
operations,
2,800
are
decorative
chromium
electroplating
operations,
and
680
are
chromium
anodizing
operations.
The
number
of
new
operations
is
expected
to
be
low
because
no
net
growth
is
predicted
for
this
industry.
It
is
expected
that
new
tanks
will
only
be
added
to
replace
or
expand
existing
capacity
and
that
few
new
facilities
will
be
constructed.
The
ongoing
monitoring,
reporting,
and
recordkeeping
for
new
tanks
is
the
same
as
that
for
existing
tanks.
Information
regarding
the
number
of
affected
facilities
was
derived
from
the
National
Metal
Finishing
Resource
Center,
an
Internet
site
developed
through
a
partnership
between
the
Federal
government
and
the
metal
finishing
industry
which
provides
a
continuous
forum
to
discuss
the
implementation
of
regulatory
requirements,
including
the
NESHAP
Subpart
N:
Chromium
Emissions
from
Hard
and
Decorative
Chromium
Electroplating
and
Chromium
Anodizing
Tanks.

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.
3
In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
chromium
emissions
from
hard
and
decorative
chromium
electroplating
and
chromium
anodizing
tanks
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
a
MACT
standard
was
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
Part
63
Subpart
N.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
chromium
from
hard
and
decorative
chromium
electroplating
and
chromium
anodizing
tanks
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
chromium
from
hard
and
decorative
chromium
electroplating
and
chromium
anodizing
tanks
are
the
result
of
operation
of
the
chromium
electroplating
and
chromium
anodizing
tanks.
These
standards
rely
on
the
capture
of
chromium
emissions
by
control
technology
such
as
composite
mesh
pads
or
fiber
bed
mist
eliminators.
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
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
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
MACT
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
and
achieve
continuous
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
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requested
is
required
under
40
CFR
Part
63
Subpart
N.

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.

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
April
18,
2000
(
65
FR
20813).
No
Comments
received.

c)
Consultations
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

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
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

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(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
The
majority
of
affected
facilities
subject
to
this
regulation
are
small
businesses.
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
were
selected
within
the
context
of
this
specific
subpart
and
the
specific
process
equipment
and
pollutant.
The
impact
on
small
businesses
was
accounted
for
in
the
regulation
development.
Reduction
in
reporting
was
provided
to
small
businesses
subject
to
this
regulation.
Small
(
area
source)
businesses
are
only
required
to
prepare
annual
compliance
status
reports
and
may
retain
these
reports
on
site.
These
reports
must
be
submitted
to
the
Agency
or
a
delegated
authority
on
a
semiannual
basis
only
where
the
duration
of
excess
emissions
and
air
pollution
control
device
malfunctions
exceeds
specified
thresholds.
Large
(
major
source)
facilities
must
prepare
and
submit
these

the
computation
of
individual
burdens
for
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
applicable
to
the
industry
for
each
of
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
included
in
this
ICR.
The
individual
burdens
are
expressed
under
standardized
headings
believed
to
be
consistent
with
the
concept
of
burden
under
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act.
Where
appropriate,
specific
tasks
and
major
assumptions
have
been
identified.
Responses
to
this
information
collection
are
mandatory.
(
40
CFR
Section
63.340)
The
Agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person
is
not
required
to
respond
to,
a
collection
of
information
unless
it
displays
a
currently
valid
OMB
control
number.

a)
Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
estimated
at
516,186
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
MACT
program,
the
previously
approved
ICR,
and
any
comments
received.

Estimating
Respondent
Costs
(

Estimating
Labor
Costs
This
ICR
uses
the
following
labor
rates:
$
73.93
per
hour
for
Executive,
Administrative,
and
Managerial,
$
54.94
per
hour
for
Technical,
and
$
34.42
per
hour
for
Clerical.
These
rates
are
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Commerce
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
March
1999,
Table
10:
Employment
Costs
for
Private
Industry
by
Occupational
and
Industry
Group.
The
rates
are
from
column
1:
Total
compensation.
The
wage
rates
have
been
loaded
by
adding
110%
overhead.

(
ii)
Estimating
Capital
and
Operations
and
Maintenance
Costs
The
type
of
industry
costs
associated
with
the
information
collection
activity
in
the
standards
are
labor
and
the
monitoring
of
operating
parameters
associated
with
the
following
control
options:
fume
suppressants;
packed
bed
scrubbers;
composite
mesh
pads;
fiber
bed
mist
9
eliminators.
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.

(
iii)
Capital/
Start­
up
vs.
Operating
and
Maintenance
(
O&
M)
Costs
The
total
Capital/
Start­
up
costs
for
this
ICR
are
$
0
because
these
are
one
time
costs
when
a
source
becomes
subject
to
the
standard
and
no
new
sources
are
expected
over
the
next
three
years.
The
total
Operating
and
Maintenance
(
O&
M)
Costs
for
this
ICR
are
$
75,300,000.
This
amount
was
calculated
by
multiplying
the
number
of
facilities
(
5020)
by
the
average
annual
O&
M
costs
($
15,000)
for
the
operating
parameter
monitoring
systems
available
for
this
industry.
The
information
used
to
calculate
the
average
O&
M
costs
was
provided
by
the
"
The
Hard
Chrome
Help
Manual"
developed
by
EPA,
the
Department
of
Energy
and
the
National
Institute
of
Standards
and
Technology
in
cooperation
with
the
National
Association
of
Metal
Finishers.

c)
Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
Federal
costs
are
user
costs
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
information.
Publication
and
distribution
of
the
information
are
part
of
the
AIRS
program.
Examination
of
records
to
be
maintained
by
the
respondents
will
occur
as
part
of
the
periodic
inspection
of
sources,
which
is
part
of
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program.

The
average
annual
Federal
Government
cost
during
the
3
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
156,516.
Details
upon
which
this
estimate
is
based

Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs
The
number
of
existing
sources
subject
to
40
CFR
Part
63
Subpart
N
is
5020.
It
is
estimated
that
no
new
sources
will
become
subject
to
the
rule
over
the
next
three
years.
The
estimated
total
average
annual
labor
cost
associated
with
this
MACT
is
$
28,293,444.
