Abstract: EPA is proposing revisions for the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production . Potential respondents subject to the new requirements of the NESHAP include an estimated 13 existing facilities that produce flexible polyurethane foam. The responses attributable to this ICR consist of reports submitted to satisfy affirmative defense provisions. No burden estimates are provided for new sources because no new facilities are expected to be affected sources during the next 3 years.
