You must complete this information request for ALL manufacturing operations that constitute aerospace manufacturing and rework at your facility, regardless of whether the operations are presently regulated under the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities (aerospace NESHAP). For example, information must be submitted for the following operations even though they are not regulated by the aerospace NESHAP: chemical milling, metal finishing, electrodeposition, composites processing, manufacture of aircraft transparencies, and wastewater operations, among others. Additionally, you must submit information for operations that may be exempted from regulation under the aerospace NESHAP including, but not limited to, low volume usage coatings, activities associated with the manufacture or rework of space vehicles, certain waterborne coatings, certain cleaning operations, certain primer and topcoat operations, and certain depainting operations. Finally, you must submit information where control requirements are not specified for operations under the aerospace NESHAP, including the use of specialty coatings, adhesives, adhesive bonding primers, or sealants.


However, this information request does not apply to aerospace manufacturing or rework operations that are regulated under NESHAP other than the aerospace NESHAP, with the exception of halogenated solvent cleaning. For example, you should not include in your response information regarding chromium electroplating operations regulated under the chromium electroplating NESHAP.


You are not required to use the forms provided for your response, although we encourage you to do so as much as possible. If you have a compelling reason to provide the requested information in another format, you may do so.

All fields in the forms that apply to your operations must be completed, even if you enter “N/A.”


For the purposes of this information request, all HAP concentrations and emissions are to be quantified. Do not report concentrations of emissions as “trace” or “minimal.” If a concentration is at or below the applicable method’s detection level, then provide information about the method (title and source), the calculated detection level in units of the applicable raw material or emissions concentration or mass rate, and the procedure for determining the detection level.


Throughout these forms, many of the cells for your data input have drop-down lists for you to choose an appropriate response. If the specific choice that characterizes your situation is not included in the list, please select “other” and provide a description of your situation in the comments section.



Form A-1. Parent Company Information


Complete this form to identify the parent company of this facility. This information will allow EPA to distinguish small businesses in any economic analysis that may be required. Section I, Question 8 (size of parent company) is an important factor that EPA will use to identify small businesses. Please note that the total of all full-time and part-time employees should be reported. This information is required for the parent company, not this facility.


The Regulatory Flexibility Act (Public Law 96-354, September 19, 1980) (RFA) requires consideration of the impacts of regulations on small businesses. The major purpose of the RFA is to keep regulatory requirements from getting out of proportion to the scale of the businesses being regulated, without compromising the objectives of, in this case, the Clean Air Act (CAA). If a regulation is likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses, EPA may, to the extent allowed by the CAA, give special consideration to those small businesses when analyzing regulatory alternatives and drafting a regulation. The Small Business Administration uses employment ranges to separate businesses into "large" and "small" categories. The actual cutoff between large and small facilities is dependent on the NAICS code of the establishments in question.



Form A-2. Facility Information


Provide the information requested in this form for this specific facility.


Section I


In Question 1, provide the actual address (not the mailing address) of this facility. You must also provide latitude and longitude coordinates for the facility. Latitude and longitude must be reported in decimal degrees to five decimal places.


Question 2 asks you to indicate whether this facility manufactures or reworks aerospace components or parts. If you answer “No” to this question, please provide an explanation in the Comments section of what activities are carried out at this facility and why you should not be considered an aerospace manufacturing or rework facility. If you answer “No” then you do not have to complete any other parts of this information request other than Forms A-1 and A-2.


Note that Question 2 is NOT asking whether the facility is subject to the aerospace NESHAP. If your facility performs any activities for the manufacture or rework aerospace components or parts, you should answer “Yes” to this question and complete the rest of the information request.


Question 3 - Enter all applicable North American Industrial Classification Codes (NAICS) that apply to the aerospace activities at this facility. NAICS codes may be found at http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/. Do not enter Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes.


Question 5 – Answer “Yes” or “No” whether this facility manufactures or reworks aerospace components or parts for each of the listed market segments.


Question 6 – Enter the typical operating schedule for this facility for the reporting year (2008). You may provide estimates if you do not track the hours/day and days/year the facility is in operation.


Section II


Provide the name and contact information for the technical contact for your response to this information request. The technical contact should be able to answer inquires from EPA concerning any information provided in your response.


Section III


Question 1 – Identify whether this facility is a major source of HAP emissions. Section 112(a)(1) of the CAA defines a major source “as any stationary source or group of stationary sources located within a contiguous area and under common control that emits or has the potential to emit considering controls, in the aggregate,10 tons per year or more of any hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons per year or more of any combination of hazardous air pollutants.”


Question 2 – If you answer “No” to Question 1 of this section, specify whether the facility has a federally enforceable permit limitation to limit HAP emissions to less than the major source thresholds and, if so, identify any such limits.


Questions 3 and 4 – identify any non-aerospace products manufactured at this facility.


Question 5 – As part of this project, EPA may conduct air dispersion modeling of the emissions from facilities that respond to this information request. This modeling requires the input of the maximum hourly emissions from each emission point. However, we realize there are typically a large number of emission points at aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities, and determining the maximum hourly emissions from each and every emission point could be difficult and burdensome. Rather than asking for maximum hourly emissions for each emission point, we are instead requesting that you provide a single multiplier that we can use to scale up average hourly emissions (annual emissions divided by 8,760 hours/year) to maximum hourly emissions. We understand that a single multiplier may not be applicable to all operations at your facility. Please provide your best estimate of a multiplier that, overall, provides a general indication of the maximum hourly emissions for your facility. Based on the results of the air dispersion modeling, we may at a later time ask you to provide more specific information.


We will determine average hourly emissions from the data you provide in your response to this information request. Therefore, you must provide a response to this question, even if the multiplier you provide is 1. You must also provide a description of how you determined the multiplier in the comments section of this form.



Form B-1. Spray Booth Information


This form has space for entering data for 10 spray booths. If you are providing data for more than 10 spray booths, please add additional columns as necessary.



Section I


Question 1 – Enter a unique identification number of your choosing for each spray booth.


Question 2 – Choose one of the booth types from the drop-down list.


Question 3 – Enter the overall dimensions in feet of the building in which the booth is located (not the dimensions of the booth itself).

Question 5 – For the reporting year, enter the average number of hours per day this booth is in operation.


Section II


Question 1 – From the drop-down list, select the type of particulate filter system used for this booth.


Question 2-3 – Enter the particulate control efficiency for the particulate filters, and indicate how that efficiency was determined. The control efficiency should correspond to the coating operations typically carried out in this booth. For example, if a booth is typically used to apply primer to small parts using HVLP spray guns, then report the control efficiency that you believe best represents the control efficiency achieved for the overspray generated by this coating operation. You are not required to perform testing to determine the control efficiency. Use your best judgment based on the information available to you.


Section III


Question 1 – Enter the latitude and longitude coordinates for the location of the exhaust stack for this booth. The coordinates must be in decimal degrees to at least five decimal places.


Questions 2-5 – Enter the diameter and height of the exhaust stack in feet, temperature of the exhaust stream in degrees Fahrenheit, and the flow rate of the exhaust stream in actual cubic feet per minute.


Section IV


Complete this section if this spray booth is vented to a control device that reduces the amount of organic emissions.


Question 1 – Enter a unique identification number of your choosing for this control device. You must also complete a Form J for this control device and the identification number entered here must match the identification number entered in Form J.


Question 2 – Choose the appropriate control device type from the drop-down list.


Question 3-4 – Enter the capture efficiency for the organic emissions, and indicate how that efficiency was determined.



Form C-1 and C-2. Coatings


Use Form C-1 if you are reporting coating information in English units, or use Form C-2 if you are reporting coating information in metric units. DO NOT complete both Form C-1 and Form C-2.


This form has space for entering data for 20 coatings. If you are providing data for more than 20 coatings, please add additional columns as necessary. You may group similar coatings together and report them as a single coating, but the information you provide must be representative of all the coatings in the group.


Section I


Question 1 – Enter a unique identification number of your choosing for each coating.


Question 4 – Enter whether this coating is regulated under the aerospace NESHAP.


Question 5 – If you entered “Yes” for Question 4 of this section, select the coating type from the drop-down list. The coatings in the drop-down list are the only ones regulated under the aerospace NESHAP, so you must choose one of these coating types if you entered “Yes” for Question 4.


Question 6 – If you entered “No” for question 4 of this section, then the coating is a specialty coating. Choose the appropriate specialty coating type from the drop-down list. If you select “other,” you must provide a coating type in the comments section.


Section II


Some of the information requested in this section, such as specific HAP content, may be proprietary or undisclosed by the manufacturer. You are not required to perform testing to obtain the information to complete this form. Use readily available information from the manufacturer or supplier such as material safety data sheets or product data sheets. You may also consider contacting the manufacturer or supplier to determine if they can supply the requested information. If you are unable to obtain the requested information or believe that a coating may have HAP constituents that are not disclosed, you may make a note of this in the comments section.


Question 1 – Enter the total volume of this coating that your facility used for all coating operations (e.g., all spray booths) for the reporting year.


Question 2 – Enter the requested physical property data for this coating. This information must be provided for the coating in its as-applied condition. Thus, multipart coatings and coatings that you modify prior to application should be reported as-applied.


Question 3 – Enter the name of each HAP (organic and inorganic) contained in this coating, the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Number for the HAP, and the mass fraction of the HAP in the as-applied coating. If you do not know the CAS Number, it is often provided on the material safety data sheet for the coating. You may also find CAS Numbers at http://iaspub.epa.gov/sor_internet/registry/substreg/home/overview/home.do. There are also various other Internet sources that provide CAS Numbers.


To avoid double counting, do not report the same HAP emissions under different CAS numbers or as different compounds. For example, do not report both “total chromium” and “hexavalent chromium” for a single chromium compound contained in a coating. The correct reporting method, particularly for chromium compounds, glycol ethers, and polycyclic organic matter, is to report the specific compound (e.g., strontium chromate, ethylene glycol dibutyl ether) rather than the general class of HAP (e.g., chromium compounds, glycol ethers).


This form has space for entering data for 5 HAP components of the coating. If this coating has more than 5 HAP components, please add rows as necessary.


Section III


For each spray booth in which this coating was applied during the reporting year, enter the booth identification number (must match the identification number provided on Form B-1), and the percent of the total usage of that coating applied in this booth. The sum of the percent usage by booth should equal 100 percent for each coating. If a portion of the coating was not applied in a spray booth, then the sum of the percent usage by booth will be less than 100 percent. In this case, provide details in the comments section of the non-spray booth areas where the coating was used including the latitude and longitude coordinates, and volume of coating used in these areas. If your facility does not maintain adequate records of the volume of coatings used by spray booth, provide an engineering estimate and note this in the comments section.


If a portion of a coating is applied outside of a spray booth, report this under “Application of Coating Outside of a Spray Booth.” Select whether the coating is spray applied or other than spray applied, and enter the percent of the total usage applied outside of a booth.


This form has space for entering coating usage for 10 spray booths. If this coating was applied in more than 10 spray booths, please add rows as necessary.

For example, do not report both “total chromium” and “hexavalent chromium” for a single chromium compound. The correct reporting method, particularly for chromium compounds, glycol ethers, and polycyclic organic matter, is to report the specific compound (e.g., strontium chromate, ethylene glycol dibutyl ether) rather than the general class of HAP (e.g., chromium compounds, glycol ethers).


This form has space for entering data for 5 HAPs. If the cleaning operations in this building emit more than 5 HAPs, please add rows as necessary.

Describe any work practices that you use to reduce the emissions of HAP from this cleaning operation.

Form E-4. Halogenated Solvent Cleaning Operations


The EPA is requesting that you provide the information requested in Form E-4 for all cleaning operations at your facility that are subject to the Halogenated Solvent Cleaning NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart T). Even though halogenated solvent cleaning operations are not subject to the aerospace NESHAP, the EPA is concerned that some aerospace facilities may have mistakenly reported emissions from these operations as emissions from operations subject to the aerospace NESHAP in past reporting to State or local agencies. The EPA is currently evaluating the residual risk from aerospace operations and halogenated solvent cleaning operations. In order to estimate the residual risk accurately from each of these categories, the EPA is attempting to first develop accurate emissions estimates. Your efforts to properly report halogenated solvent cleaning operations on Form E-4 and not on Form E-3 will play an important role in the EPA’s development of emissions estimates for these two categories.


In order to assist you in determining which cleaning operations should be reported on Form E-4, the following description is reproduced from § 63.460(a) identifying the sources subject to subpart T:


each individual batch vapor, in-line vapor, in-line cold, and batch cold solvent cleaning machine that uses any solvent containing methylene chloride (CAS No. 75–09–2), perchloroethylene (CAS No. 127–18–4), trichloroethylene (CAS No. 79–01–6), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (CAS No. 71–55–6), carbon tetrachloride (CAS No. 56–23–5) or chloroform (CAS No. 67–66–3), or any combination of these halogenated HAP solvents, in a total concentration greater than 5 percent by weight, as a cleaning and/or drying agent. The concentration of these solvents may be determined using EPA test method 18, material safety data sheets, or engineering calculations. Wipe cleaning activities, such as using a rag containing halogenated solvent or a spray cleaner containing halogenated solvent are not covered under the provisions of this subpart.


NOTE: Not all cleaning operations that use methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, or chloroform are subject to subpart T. Before reporting a cleaning operation on this form, make sure that the cleaning operation uses one or more of these halogenated solvents AND that the solvent is used in a batch vapor, in-line vapor, in-line cold, or batch cold solvent cleaning machine as these machines are defined in subpart T.

Form I-1. Startups and Shutdowns


This form is used to report startup and shutdown events that resulted in excess HAP emissions AND that caused a NESHAP emission limit to be exceeded or caused a deviation of any requirement of the NESHAP. Each aerospace manufacturing and rework operation that emits HAP and each add-on control device used to reduce the emissions of HAP from aerospace manufacturing and rework operations is subject to reporting on this form.


For the purposes of this form, particulate filters and waterwash systems used to capture overspray in paint spray booths are considered to be add-on control devices.


The following examples are provided as guidance for which startup and shutdown events must be reported:


Example 1: A facility has several spray booths in which aerospace primers and topcoats are applied. The ventilation fans on each spray booth are shut off when the booth is not being used and turned on again when parts are ready to be coated. No coating is applied when the fans are not operating. Even though each time the fans are turned on and off is a startup or shutdown event, Form I-1 does not need to be completed. Because no coatings are applied when the fan is not operating, emission limits would not be exceeded during the startup and shutdown events.


Example 2: A facility uses a thermal oxidizer to meet the 81 percent organic HAP emission reduction requirement of 40 CFR 63.745(d) for aerospace primer and topcoat operations. The thermal oxidizer has been shut down for maintenance. Following the repairs, the thermal oxidizer is restarted from a cold start, and the facility immediately starts to apply primers and topcoats. The emissions while the thermal oxidizer was not at the operating temperature resulted in an exceedence of the 81 percent emission reduction requirement. This event must be reported on Form I-1.


Example 3: A facility applies primers containing hexavalent chromium to aerospace parts in a spray booth. One operator turns off the ventilation fan for the spray booth, but another operator is still in the booth applying the primer. This shutdown event must be reported on Form I-1.


Provide the requested information if it is readily available. You are not required to perform additional testing or data gathering for these events in order to complete this form.




Form J-1 to J-10. Air Pollution Control Devices


Complete the appropriate form for each air pollution control device that you use to reduce HAP emissions from aerospace manufacturing and rework operations. You are not required to complete these forms for particulate filters and waterwash systems used to capture overspray in paint spray booths. Spray booth particulate filter information is reported on Form B-1, Section II, Particulate Filters.


Concerning mechanical collectors and fabric filters reported on Forms J-3 and J-4, if these devices are vented within a building, leave the latitude and longitude entries blank and note in the comments section that the device is vented within a building. Include an identification of the building in the comment.


Provide the requested information on these forms if it is readily available. You are not required to perform any additional testing in order to complete these forms.




Form K-1. Air Pollution Control Device Costs


Complete this form as completely as possible using readily available information for each air pollution control device for which you completed a Form J.
