The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Manufacture of Amino/Phenolic Resins (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart OOO) were proposed on December 14, 1998; promulgated on January 20, 2000; and amended on: April 20, 2006; October 8, 2014; October 15, 2018; and November 19, 2020. These regulations apply to both existing facilities and new facilities that manufacture amino/phenolic resins with HAP emissions points that include: (1) reactor batch process vents; (2) nonreactor batch process vents; (3) continuous process vents; (4) equipment leaks; (5) wastewater; (6) storage vessels; and (7) heat exchangers. New facilities include those that commenced construction, or modification, or reconstruction after the date of the proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart OOO.
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 startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, 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.
