The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GG) were proposed on June 6, 1994; promulgated on September 1, 1995 and amended on both December 7, 2015 and August 3, 2016. These regulations apply to existing and new aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities where the total hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted are greater than or equal to 10 tons per year of any combination of HAP, or where the total HAP emitted are greater than or equal to 25 tons per year of any combination of HAP. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. Operations covered include: cleaning, primer and top coat application, depainting, chemical milling maskant application, handling and storage of waste, and specialty coating operations. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GG. 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.
There is no significant change in burden from the most recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Second, the growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. There is a slight increase in costs, which is wholly due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR uses labor rates from the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report (September 2022) to calculate respondent burden costs. There is an increase in capital and operation & maintenance costs due to an adjustment to increase from 2007 to 2022 $ using the CEPCI Equipment Cost Index.
