Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating Industry applies to new and existing facilities that perform surface coating of wood building products 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, and that use at least 4,170 liters (1,100 gallons) of coatings annually. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of the original proposal (June 21, 2002). This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQ. In general, all NESHAP require initial notifications, performance tests, and semiannual compliance 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, 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. Any owner/operator subject to NESHAP shall maintain a file of measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the appropriate U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. The final amendments to the rule eliminate the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption; remove the SSM plan requirement; add electronic submittal of notifications of compliance status, semiannual reports and performance test reports; and make technical and editorial changes. The remaining portions of the NESHAP are unchanged.

Short Statement: This ICR is prepared for final RTR amendments to the NESHAP for Surface Coating of Wood Building Products (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart QQQQ). These final 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 QQQQ) to remove the SSM exemption and SSM plan requirement; (2) add electronic submittal of semiannual reports and performance test reports; and (3) make technical and editorial changes. The number of affected facilities changed from the previous ICR because of: (1) continued consolidation and closures within the wood building products industry; and (2) updates to the number of affected facilities based on EPAs recent RTR efforts and subsequent updates from other information sources. The burden estimate for reading and understanding the rule requirements was increased to reflect the actual time it would take industry to review the final rule amendments. Burden estimates were added for the industry to prepare for performance tests, report the results of the performance tests through the ERT, and transition to submitting notifications and semiannual reports through CEDRI. Burden estimates were removed for developing SSM plans and submitting periodic SSM reports. Overall, the reduction of affected facilities had a larger impact than the specific cost increases cited above.
