NESHAP for Magnetic Tape Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EE) (Renewal)

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Magnetic Tape Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EE) were proposed on March 11, 1994, promulgated on December 15, 1994, and amended on April 9, 1999. These regulations apply to both new and existing magnetic tape manufacturing operations, including solvent storage tanks, mix preparation equipment, coating operations, waste handling devices, and condenser vents associated with solvent recovery. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EE. 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.
