Abstract: These standards apply to owners or operators of new and existing facilities that engage in the manufacture of flexible polyurethane foam products which emit hazardous air pollutants (HAP). In general, all MACT standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators of flexible polyurethane foam production facilities to which this rule is applicable must choose one of the compliance options described in the standard or reduce HAP emissions to below the compliance level. Specifically, the rule requirements for slabstock foam producers include an initial notification, notification of compliance status, semiannual reports and annual compliance certifications. In addition, respondents are required to submit a pre-compliance report that describes the HAP compliance procedures, and recordkeeping procedures. Those electing to comply with the slabstock foam emission limitation using recovery devices must measure and record emissions as specified in Section 63.1297 of the rule. The rule requirements for molded and rebond foam producers include a notification of compliance status report and an annual compliance certification. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to MACT rules.
