The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Paper and Other Web Coating
were proposed on September 13, 2000, and promulgated on December 4,
2002. These regulations apply to new and existing paper and other
web coating facilities that include web coating lines engaged in
the coating of metal webs used in flexible packaging, and web
coating lines engaged in the coating of fabric substrates for use
in pressure sensitive tape and abrasive materials. 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 JJJJ. 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 failures to meet applicable
standards, 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. Amendments to the NESHAP are
being proposed as a result of the residual risk and technology
review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The proposed
RTR amendments to the rule would eliminate the startup, shutdown,
and malfunction (SSM) exemption; remove the SSM plan requirement;
add periodic performance testing; add electronic submittal of
notifications, semiannual reports and performance test reports; and
make technical and editorial changes. The remaining portions of the
NESHAP would remain unchanged.
This ICR is prepared for
proposed RTR amendments to the NESHAP for Paper and Other Web
Coating Manufacturing (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart JJJJ). These
proposed RTR amendments would: (1) adjust references to the Part 63
General Provisions (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A) and revise
provisions in the NESHAP (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart JJJJ) to
eliminate the SSM exemption and SSM plan requirement; (2) add
periodic performance testing; (3) add electronic submittal of
notifications, semiannual reports and performance test reports; and
(4) make technical and editorial changes. The number of affected
facilities changed from the estimate in the 2018 ICR renewal
request for comments due to updates to the number of affected
facilities based on EPA’s recent RTR efforts and subsequent updates
from other information sources.
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.
