Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Reinforced Plastic Composites (RPC) Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart WWWW) apply to both existing facilities and new facilities with reinforced plastic composites (RPC) production operations and processes. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, 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 startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart WWWW.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the total number of respondents has decreased due to consolidation within the industry, and no new respondents are anticipated over the next three years of this ICR. The decrease in the number of existing and new respondents also results in a reduced number of total annual responses; this ICR reduces the number of responses associated with submittal of exceedance reports from existing respondents and excludes responses associated with the submittal of initial notifications or performance test plans or results that were previously only required from new respondents. Additionally, there is a decrease in the Agency burden as this ICR removes the burden associated with review of submitted initial notifications and materials related to performance tests, which are only applicable to new respondents. There is also an adjustment decrease in the capital/startup and O&M costs due to the reduced number of respondents.
