The NESHAP for Plywood and Composite Products covers both new and existing plywood and composite wood products (PCWP) facilities. Plywood and composite products include, but are not limited to plywood, veneer, particleboard, oriented strand board, hardboard, fiberboard, medium density fiberboard, laminated strand lumber, laminated veneer lumber, wood I-joists, kiln-dried lumber and glue-laminated beams.
Owners/operators of plywood and composite products facilities are required to submit initial notification, performance tests, and compliance status reports. Also, respondents are 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. Semiannual reports are required.
There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated labor hours as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in the labor burden and cost estimates occurred because of a change in assumption. This ICR assumes all existing respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year. In addition, there is a small increase in O&M cost due to rounding of total cost figure to three significant figures.
