The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Surface Coating of Large
Household and Commercial Appliances (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart NNNN)
apply to both existing and new facilities that perform surface
coating of large household and commercial appliances and related
parts where the total Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) emitted are
greater than or equal to 10 tons per year of any one HAP, or where
the total HAPs emitted are greater than or equal to 25 tons per
year of any combination of HAPs. 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, and are required of all affected facilities
subject to NESHAP. This information is being collected to assure
compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart NNNN.
There is an adjustment decrease
in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any
program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates
occurred due to a decrease in the total number of facilities
subject to the NESHAP. The estimate is based on EPAs recent
reevaluation of the source category inventory associated with the
recently-proposed amendments to 40 CFR part 63, subpart NNNN (83 FR
46262, September 12, 2018). Per EPAs reevaluation, the number of
respondents in the source category has decreased from the estimates
in the 2002 final rule because the final rule included assumptions
regarding several facilities that were not major sources of HAP.
Additionally, there have been changes within the large appliance
surface coating industry that result in fewer facilities being
subject to the NESHAP. For example, many facilities that used
liquid coatings have switched to powder coatings, or have switched
to plastic parts and stainless steel instead of painted steel
parts, or are using precoated metal coils instead of coating
finished parts. As a result, there is a much smaller number of
major sources. In addition to the burden decrease from the
decreased number of respondents, there is also a burden decrease in
the operating and maintenance costs due to the determination that
only one affected source uses an emission control device to comply
with the NESHAP. These changes result in an overall decrease in the
labor hours, O&M costs, and number of responses.
