Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Reinforced Plastic Composites Production were proposed on August 2, 2001, promulgated on April 21, 2003, and amended on August 25, 2005. These regulations apply to existing and new facilities with reinforced plastic composites (RPC) production operations and processes. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after May 17, 2019, when the proposal for this action was published in the Federal Register. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart WWWW. As part of the residual risk and technology review (RTR) for the Reinforced Plastic Composites Production NESHAP, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing that no revisions to the emission limit requirements are needed as a result of these reviews. The EPA is finalizing revisions to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions of the rule and finalizing 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, 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. A semiannual report is also required.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: 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.
