The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Miscellaneous Metal Parts and
Products were proposed on August 13, 2002, promulgated on January
2, 2004, and amended on April 26, 2004, April 20, 2006, and
December 22, 2006. The NESHAP is codified at 40 CFR Part 63,
Subpart MMMM. This supporting statement addresses information
collection activities that will be imposed by the NESHAP for
Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products, including activities
proposed to be added based on the residual risk and technology
review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The NESHAP for
Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products applies to each new and
existing affected source of HAP emissions at facilities that are
major sources and that perform miscellaneous metal parts and
products surface coating operations, and associated equipment or
containers used for mixing, conveying, storage, or waste. New
facilities include those that commenced construction or
reconstruction after August 13, 2002. As part of the RTR for the
NESHAP for Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products, the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not proposing to revise
the emission limit requirements. The EPA is proposing to require
periodic air emissions testing to measure organic HAP destruction
or removal efficiency at the inlet and outlet of the add-on control
device, or control device outlet concentration of organic HAP, once
every five years for existing and new surface coating affected
sources using the emission rate with add-on controls compliance
option. The EPA is proposing to revise the startup, shutdown, and
malfunction (SSM) provisions of the Maximum Achievable Control
Technology (MACT) rule and proposing the use of electronic data
reporting for future performance test data submittals,
notifications, and reports. This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MMMM.
There is an increase in the
labor hours per respondent in this ICR as compared to the previous
ICR. This situation is due to four considerations: 1) increased
time in year one to become familiar with the amended rules, 2)
increased time in year one to re-evaluating previously developed
SSM record systems, 3) increased time in year one to become
familiar with CEDRI and the electronic reporting form for the
semiannual report, and 4) time required in year three for
conducting a performance test and reporting the results. There is
an increase in the capital/startup costs as calculated in section
6(b)(iii) compared with the costs in the previous ICR. The
requirement for periodic performance testing requires seven
existing facilities to conduct a performance test on seven add-on
control devices, with an estimate of zero tests being repeated.
These facilities are not currently required to perform testing as a
condition of their part 70 operating permits.
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.
