Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating were proposed on December 4, 2002, promulgated on April 19, 2004, and revised or amended on April 26, 2004, April 20, 2006, December 22, 2006, and April 24, 2007. The NESHAP is codified at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart PPPP. This supporting statement addresses information collection activities that will be imposed by the NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating, including activities added based on the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating applies to each new and existing affected source of HAP emissions at facilities that are major sources and that perform surface coating of plastic parts and products. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after December 4, 2002. As part of the RTR for the NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not revising the emission limit requirements. The EPA is requiring periodic air emissions testing to measure organic HAP destruction or removal efficiency at the inlet and outlet of the add-on control device 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 revising the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule and requiring 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 PPPP. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests (if sources are using add-on controls to demonstrate compliance), 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 deviation from an emission limitation (either a numerical emission limit, an operating limit, or an equipment or work practice standard), 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 the NESHAP.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase in the labor hours per respondent in this ICR as compared to the currently approved ICR. This increase is due to four considerations: 1) an increased labor burden of 4 hours per respondent in year one to become familiar with the amended rules, 2) an increased labor burden of 8 hours per respondent in year one for revising previously developed SSM record systems, 3) an increased labor burden of 8 hours per respondent in year one to become familiar with CEDRI and the electronic reporting form for the semiannual report, and 4) an increased labor burden of 42 hours for three respondents in year three for conducting a performance test and reporting the results. There is an increase in the capital/startup costs as compared with the currently approved ICR. The new requirement for periodic performance testing requires three existing facilities to conduct a performance test on three add-on control devices, with an estimate of zero tests being repeated. The three performance tests are estimated to cost $19,000 each. These three facilities are not currently required to perform testing as a condition of their part 70 operating permits.
