Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart DD were proposed on January 18, 1977, and promulgated on August 3, 1978, and amended on October 17, 2000 (65 FR 61759). These regulations apply to the following facilities in grain elevators: each truck unloading station, truck loading station, railcar unloading station, railcar loading station, grain dryer, and all grain handling operations commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after August 3, 1978. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart DD. In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS. An annual summary report is also required. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least two 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.
