The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Boat Manufacturing were proposed on July 14, 2000, promulgated on August 22, 2001, and amended on October 3, 2001. These regulations apply to both existing and new boat manufacturing facilities that are a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. This regulation covers resin and gel coat operations at fiberglass boat manufacturers, paint and coating operations at aluminum boat manufacturers, and carpet and fabric adhesive operations at all boat manufacturers. Air toxics are released during application and curing from the resins, gel coats, adhesives, coating, and solvents used in boat manufacturing. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart VVVV.
As part of the residual risk and technology review (RTR) for the Boat Manufacturing 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 rule and is proposing the use of electronic data reporting for future performance test data submittals, notifications, and reports.
In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. Owners/operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any failures to meet applicable standards. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
There is only 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.
