The NESHAP for Plywood and Composite
Products covers both new and existing plywood and composite wood
products (PCWP) facilities. Plywood and composite products include,
but are not limited to plywood, veneer, particleboard, oriented
strand board, hardboard, fiberboard, medium density fiberboard,
laminated strand lumber, laminated veneer lumber, wood I-joists,
kiln-dried lumber and glue-laminated beams. Owners/operators of
plywood and composite products facilities are required to submit
initial notification, performance tests, and compliance status
reports. Also, respondents are 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. Semiannual reports are
required.
There is an adjustment increase
in the total estimated labor hours as currently identified in the
OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any
program changes. The change in the labor burden and cost estimates
occurred because of a change in assumption. This ICR assumes all
existing respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory
requirements each year. In addition, there is a small increase in
O&M cost due to rounding of total cost figure to three
significant figures.
