Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFF, were proposed on April 4, 2002, and promulgated on November 10, 2003. These regulations apply to new and existing facilities that manufacture a miscellaneous organic chemical and are located at, or are part of, major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. 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. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.

Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is primarily due to the fact that this is the first ICR prepared after the compliance date. In the previous ICR, annual burden hours and costs associated with one-time activities were phased in over the course of the 3-year period. In this ICR, existing sources have been phased into compliance and are subject to on-going requirements, and new sources are subject to various one-time activities. Additionally, some burden hours from the previous ICR were deleted because it was not consistent with the concept of burden, for example capital costs associated with performance testing. Finally, burden hours were eliminated for “Notifications of Anticipated Startup” as this requirement was included in the previous ICR in error.
