The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Surface Coating of Metal
Furniture (40 CFR 63, Subpart RRRR) defines a “metal furniture” as
“furniture or components of furniture constructed either entirely
or partially from metal. Metal furniture includes, but is not
limited to, components of the following types of products as well
as the products themselves: household, office, institutional,
laboratory, hospital, public building, restaurant, barber and
beauty shop, and dental furniture; office and store fixtures;
partitions; shelving; lockers; lamps and lighting fixtures; and
wastebaskets.” New facilities include those that commenced
construction or reconstruction after April 24, 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 RRRR. As part of the RTR for the Surface Coating
of Metal Furniture NESHAP, the EPA is proposing to revise 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 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.
