NESHAP for Plating and Polishing Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWWWW) (Renewal)

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plating and Polishing Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart WWWWWW) were proposed on March 14, 2008; promulgated on July 1, 2008; and most-recently amended on both September 19, 2011 and November 19, 2020.1 These regulations apply to both existing and new plating and polishing facilities that are an area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions and that use one or more of the following metal HAP: cadmium, chromium, lead manganese, or nickel (hereafter referred to as the plating and polishing metal HAP). 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. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart WWWWWW.
