The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Printing, Coating and Dyeing
of Fabrics and Other Textiles applies to each new and existing
affected source of HAP emissions at facilities that are major
sources and are engaged in the printing, coating, slashing, dyeing
or finishing of fabric and other textiles. New facilities include
those that commenced construction or reconstruction after July 11,
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 OOOO. As part of the RTR
for the Printing, Coating, and Dyeing of Fabrics and Other Textiles
NESHAP, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not proposing
to revise the emission limit requirements. The EPA is proposing to
revise the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions of
the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (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 per respondent in
this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This situation is due to
three considerations: 1) time in year one to become familiar with
the amended rules and requirements, 2) 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.
