Abstract: EPA is proposing amendments to the National Emission Standards for Secondary Aluminum Production. The proposed amendments would correct and clarify various rule requirements and provisions. Specifically, the proposed amendments would require selected affected sources to comply with the emissions limits at all times including periods of startup and shutdown; add a definition of affirmative defense; add a requirement to report performance testing through the Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT); add provisions allowing owners and operators to change furnaces classifications; add requirements to test uncontrolled furnaces; add requirements to test for hydrogen fluoride ; add operating requirements such as monitoring of lime injection rates; and make corrections and clarifications to the applicability, definitions, operating, monitoring, and performance testing requirements. Potential respondents subject to the NESHAP include an estimated 161 existing facilities that process secondary aluminum. There are no additional annual responses attributable to this ICR. The burden estimates are associated with additional performance testing for HF, uncontrolled group 1 furnaces, and changing furance designations. No burden estimates are provided for new sources because no new major source facilities are expected to be affected sources during the next 3 years.
