The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Wet-formed Fiberglass Mat Production were promulgated on April 11, 2002, and most recently amended on April 20, 2006. The NESHAP is codified at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHH. The NESHAP apply to wet-formed fiberglass mat production facilities that emit greater than or equal to 10 tons per year (tpy) of any one hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or greater than or equal to 25 tpy of any combination of HAP. The pollutants regulated include organic HAP, using formaldehyde as a surrogate. Affected sources include new and existing drying and curing ovens. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of the original proposal (May 26, 2000). This information is collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHH.
Amendments to the NESHAP are being proposed as a result of the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The proposed amendments to the rule eliminate the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption; remove the SSM plan and periodic report requirements; require electronic submittal of performance test results; require that compliance reports be submitted on a semiannual basis in all instances, consistent with the General Provisions; reduce the parameter monitoring and recording requirements during use of binder containing no HAP; and make miscellaneous technical and editorial changes. The remaining portions of the NESHAP remain unchanged.
The burden decrease reflected in this ICR reflect a program change due to the amendments contained in the current rulemaking, which: (1) remove the SSM exemption and SSM plan and periodic report requirements; (2) require electronic submittal of performance test results; (3) reduce the frequency of compliance reports from a quarterly basis to a semiannual basis when there are deviations from applicable standards; (4) reduce the parameter monitoring and recording requirements during use of binder containing no HAP; and (5) make technical and editorial changes. Additionally, the number of facilities subject to the standards changed based on consultation with industry representatives and state/local agencies.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
