The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Surface Coating of Large Household and Commercial Appliances (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart NNNN) apply to both existing and new facilities that perform surface coating of large household and commercial appliances and related parts where the total Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) emitted are greater than or equal to 10 tons per year of any one HAP, or where the total HAPs emitted are greater than or equal to 25 tons per year of any combination of HAPs. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP 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 NESHAP. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart NNNN.
There is an adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred due to a decrease in the total number of facilities subject to the NESHAP. The estimate is based on EPAs recent reevaluation of the source category inventory associated with the recently-proposed amendments to 40 CFR part 63, subpart NNNN (83 FR 46262, September 12, 2018). Per EPAs reevaluation, the number of respondents in the source category has decreased from the estimates in the 2002 final rule because the final rule included assumptions regarding several facilities that were not major sources of HAP. Additionally, there have been changes within the large appliance surface coating industry that result in fewer facilities being subject to the NESHAP. For example, many facilities that used liquid coatings have switched to powder coatings, or have switched to plastic parts and stainless steel instead of painted steel parts, or are using precoated metal coils instead of coating finished parts. As a result, there is a much smaller number of major sources. In addition to the burden decrease from the decreased number of respondents, there is also a burden decrease in the operating and maintenance costs due to the determination that only one affected source uses an emission control device to comply with the NESHAP. These changes result in an overall decrease in the labor hours, O&M costs, and number of responses.
