The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at
40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE were proposed on April 2, 2002 and
promulgated on February 3, 2004. These regulations apply to the
collection of activities and equipment, at new and existing
facilities, used to distribute organic liquids into, out of, or
within a major source plant site, that are not subject to another
40 CFR part 63 rule. In general, all NESHAP standards require
initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by
the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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 of all
affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Any owner/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. In
the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports
are sent directly to the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) regional office.
