Characterization/
Abstract
The
National
Emissions
Standards
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
(
NESHAP)
for
Vinyl
Chloride
(
VC)
were
proposed
on
December
24,
1975,
promulgated
on
October,
21,
1976,
and
amended
on
June
7,
1977,
September
30,
1986,
September
23,
1988
and
December
23,
1992.
These
standards
apply
to
exhaust
gases
and
oxychlorination
vents
at
ethylene
dichloride
(
EDC)
plants;
exhaust
gases
at
vinyl
chloride
monomer
(
VCM)
plants;
and
exhaust
gases,
reactors
opening
losses,
manual
vent
valves,
and
stripping
residuals
at
polyvinyl
chloride
(
PVC)
plants.
The
standards
also
apply
to
relief
valves
and
fugitive
emission
sources
at
all
three
types
of
plants.
In
the
Administrator's
judgement,
vinyl
chloride
emissions
from
polyvinyl
chloride
(
PVC),
ethylene
dichloride
(
EDC),
and
vinyl
chloride
monomer
(
VCM)
plants
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
result
in
an
increase
in
mortality
or
an
increase
in
serious
irreversible,
or
incapaciting
reversible
illness.
Vinyl
chloride
is
a
known
human
carcinogen
which
causes
a
rare
cancer
of
the
liver.

Establishment
of
a
continuous
monitoring
program
is
a
high
priority
of
the
Agency.
The
standards
require
continuous
monitoring
of
the
reactor
pressure
and
temperature.
The
continuous
monitoring
system
monitors
VC
emissions
from
the
stack
to
judge
compliance
with
the
numerical
limits
in
the
standards.
The
parameters
are
used
to
judge
the
operation
of
the
reactor
so
that
the
source
and
EPA
will
be
aware
of
improper
operation
and
maintenance.

Adequate
recordkeeping
and
reporting
ensures
that
affected
facilities
continue
to
operate
control
equipment
and
use
proper
work
practices
to
achieve
compliance.
In
addition,
reporting
assists
EPA
in
identifying
new
facilities
subject
to
the
standards.
The
standards
implicitly
require
initial
reports
required
by
the
General
Provisions
of
40
CFR
§
61.7
and
§
61.9.
These
initial
reports
include
application
for
approval
of
construction
or
modification,
the
notification
of
startup,
and
the
notification
of
performance
testing.
The
standards
also
require
quarterly
reporting
of
vinyl
chloride
emissions
from
stripping,
reactor
openings,
and
exhausts.
Reports
must
be
submitted
within
10
days
of
each
valve
discharge
and
manual
vent
valve
discharge.
All
reports
are
sent
to
the
delegated
State
authority.
In
the
event
that
there
is
no
such
delegated
State
2
authority,
the
reports
are
sent
directly
to
the
EPA
Regional
Office.
Facilities
must
also
maintain
records
of
reactor
parameters
and
emissions
as
well
as
records
related
to
malfunctions,
calibrations,
and
leaks
detected.

Approximately
44
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard,
and
it
is
estimated
that
no
additional
sources
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.

Following
approval
of
the
previous
ICR,
OMB
requested
that
EPA
undertake
a
review
of
the
need
for
continuous
area
monitoring­
and
of
whether
there
may
be
other
less
burdensome
approaches
that
would
provide
the
public
with
equal
or
greater
protection
in
the
event
of
major
chemical
releases.
EPA
considered
OMB's
comment
and
upon
review
of
alternative
monitoring
approaches
has
concluded
that
emissions
of
vinyl
chloride,
a
hazardous
air
pollutant,
should
be
continuously
monitored
to
ensure
adequate
protection
of
public
health.
EPA
considers
the
existing
monitoring
requirements
to
be
the
least
burdensome
on
the
regulated
entities.

2.
Need
for
and
Use
of
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
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
audit
procedures,
or
methods;
and
(
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,
vinyl
chloride
emissions
from
the
National
Emission
Standard
for
Vinyl
Chloride
can
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
National
Emission
Standards
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
Part
61,
Subpart
F.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
vinyl
chloride
from
plants
which
produce:
1)
ethylene
3
dichloride
by
reaction
of
oxygen
and
hydrogen
chloride
with
ethylene,
2)
vinyl
chloride
by
any
process
and/
or
3)
one
or
more
polymers
containing
any
fraction
of
polymerized
vinyl
chloride
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
vinyl
chloride
from
these
plants
result
from
the
operation
of
the
affected
facilities.
These
standards
rely
on
the
reduction
of
vinyl
chloride
emissions
by
monitoring
on
a
continuous
basis
the
emissions
from
the
sources
for
which
emissions
limits
are
prescribed
in
§
§
61.62(
a)
and
(
b),
61.63
(
a),
and
61.64(
a)(
1),
(
b),
(
c),
and
(
d),
and
for
any
control
system
to
which
reactor
emissions
are
required
to
be
ducted
in
§
61.64(
a)(
2)
or
to
which
fugitive
emissions
are
required
to
be
ducted
in
§
61.65(
b)(
1)(
ii),
and
(
b)(
2),
(
b)(
5),
(
b)(
6)
(
ii)
and
(
b)(
9)(
ii).
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
standard
is
being
met.
The
information
generated
by
the
monitoring,
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
described
in
this
ICR
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
ensure
that
facilities
continue
to
operate
in
compliance
with
the
National
Emissions
Standard
for
Vinyl
Chloride.
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.
Non­
duplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
is
required
under
40
CFR
Part
61,
Subpart
F.

3(
a)
Non­
duplication
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
exits.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
February
1,
2001.

3(
c)
Consultations
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
4
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
main
consequence
would
be
that
the
chances
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
would
decrease.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
None
of
the
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
in

Estimating
Capital
and
Operations
and
Maintenance
Costs
The
industry
costs
associated
with
the
information
collection
activity
in
this
standard
are
labor
and
the
capital
start­
up
and
operations
and
maintenance
(
O&
M)
costs
associated
with
continuous
emissions
monitoring.
The
capital
start­
up
costs
are
one­
time
costs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
The
annual
O&
M
costs
are
ongoing
costs
to
maintain
the
monitoring
system
as
well
as
other
administrative
costs
such
as
photocopying
and
postage.

The
capital

costs
are
one
time
costs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
this
subpart.
This
is
based
on
our
assumption
that
no
new
sources
will
be
subject
to
this
subpart
over
the
next
three
(
3)
years.
This
is
the
total

The
numbers

to
show
the

The
total
operating

(
O&

costs
for
this
ICR
are
$
1,980,000.
This
based
on
44
existing
sources
multiplied
by
$
45,000.00
for
upkeep
of
the

This
is
the

The
total
respondent
costs
is
the
sum
of
the
capital

up
costs
and
the
annual
operations

costs.
Thus
the
industry's
average
annual
cost
for
capital
and
O&
M
for
this
subpart
over
the
next
three
years
is
estimated
to
be
$
1,980,000.
This

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
Federal
costs
are
user
cost
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
information.
Publication
and
distribution
of
the
information
are
part
of
the
AFS
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
$
142,721.92.
The
cost
is
based
on
an
average
hourly
wage
of
a
GS­
10
step
1
and
travel
associated
with
compliance
activities.
Details
upon
which
this
estimate
is
based
appear
in
Table
1:
Agency
Burden
(
A
different
hourly
rate
was
used
in
the
past,
but
because
the
previous
ICR
provided
no
explanation
for
the
dollar
amount
for
salary
this
renewal
will
use
the
going
standard
fee.).

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
increase
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
the
use
of
more
accurate
industry
and
EPA
hourly
wages
supported
by
information
from
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics.
