The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Printing, Coating and Dyeing of Fabrics and Other Textiles applies to each new and existing affected source of HAP emissions at facilities that are major sources and are engaged in the printing, coating, slashing, dyeing or finishing of fabric and other textiles. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after July 11, 2002. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests (if sources are using add-on controls to demonstrate compliance), 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 deviation from an emission limitation (either a numerical emission limit, an operating limit, or an equipment or work practice standard), 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 the NESHAP. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart OOOO.
As part of the RTR for the Printing, Coating, and Dyeing of Fabrics and Other Textiles NESHAP, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not proposing to revise the emission limit requirements. The EPA is proposing to revise the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule and proposing the use of electronic data reporting for future performance test data submittals, notifications, and reports.
The current proposed rule results in a small increase in the labor hours per respondent in this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This situation is due to three considerations: 1) time in year one to become familiar with the amended rules and requirements, 2) time in year one to re-evaluating previously developed SSM record systems, and 3) time in year one to become familiar with CEDRI and the electronic reporting form for the semiannual report.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
