The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Surface Coating of Large
Appliances is codified at 40 CFR part 63, Subpart NNNN. The NESHAP
defines a “large appliance part or product” as “a component of a
large appliance product manufactured for household, recreational,
institutional, commercial, or industrial use” including but not
limited to “cooking equipment; refrigerators, freezers, and
refrigerated cabinets and cases; laundry equipment; dishwashers,
trash compactors, and water heaters; and heating, ventilation, and
air-conditioning (HVAC) units, air-conditioning (except motor
vehicle) units, air-conditioning and heating combination units,
comfort furnaces, and electric heat pumps. Specifically excluded
are heat transfer coils and large commercial and industrial
chillers.” New facilities include those that commenced construction
or reconstruction after July 23, 2002. In general, all NESHAP
standards require initial notifications, performance tests (if
sources are using add-on controls to demonstrate compliance), 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 deviation from an emission
limitation (either a numerical emission limit, an operating limit,
or an equipment or work practice standard), 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 the NESHAP. This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR
Part 63, Subpart NNNN. As part of the RTR for the Large Appliances
NESHAP, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
revise the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions of
the MACT rule and proposing the use of electronic data reporting
for future performance test data submittals, notifications, and
reports.
The current proposed rule
results in a small increase in the labor hours due to three
considerations: 1) time in year one to get familiar with the rule
amendment, 2) increased time in year one to re-evaluating
previously developed SSM record systems, and 3) time in year one to
become familiar with CEDRI and the electronic reporting form for
the semiannual report.
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.
