The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Automobile and Light-duty Truck Surface Coating were proposed on December 24, 2002, promulgated on April 26, 2004, and amended on December 22, 2006 and April 24, 2007. The NESHAP is codified at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart IIII. This supporting statement addresses information collection activities that will be imposed by the NESHAP for Automobile and Light-duty Truck Surface Coating, including activities proposed to be added based on the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA).
The NESHAP for Automobile and Light-duty Truck Surface Coating applies to each new and existing affected source of HAP emissions at facilities that are major sources and that perform surface coating operations on automobiles and light-duty trucks. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after December 24, 2002.
As part of the RTR for the NESHAP for Automobile and Light-duty Truck Surface Coating, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not proposing to revise the emission limit requirements. The EPA is proposing to require periodic air emissions testing to measure organic HAP destruction or removal efficiency at the inlet and outlet of the add-on control device, or control device outlet concentration of organic HAP, once every 5 years for existing and new surface coating affected sources using the emission rate with add-on controls compliance option. 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. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart IIII.
There is an increase in the labor hours per respondent in this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This situation is due to four considerations: 1) increased time in year one to become familiar with the amended rules, 2) increased time in year one to re-evaluating previously developed SSM record systems, 3) increased time in year one to become familiar with CEDRI and the electronic reporting form for the semiannual report, and 4) time required in year three for conducting a performance test and reporting the results.
There is an increase in the capital/startup costs as compared with the costs in the previous ICR. The requirement for periodic performance testing requires five existing facilities to conduct a performance test on five add-on control devices, with an estimate of two tests being repeated. These facilities are not currently required to perform testing as a condition of their part 70 operating permits.
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.
