Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Rubber Tire Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXXX) were proposed on October 18, 2000, promulgated on July 9, 2002, and amended on March 12, 2003, April 20, 2006, and July 24, 2020. These regulations apply to existing and new facilities that are involved in rubber processing, tire production, tire cord production, and puncture sealant application. The amendments being proposed in this action will regulate emissions from rubber processing mixers. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXXX. 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. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file containing these documents and retain the file for at least five years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. If there is no such delegated authority, then the reports are sent directly to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This estimate is the burden for the final amendments to add new regulatory requirements to reduce emissions from rubber processing mixers. These amendments reflect a change in the current burden for the regulation of other emission subcategories in the rubber tire manufacturing industry under 40 CFR 63, Subpart XXXX. The number of sources presented in this ICR reflects current data obtained from industry and has not changed compared to the Proposal ICR. Labor hours have been added for the collection and analysis of data, to submit notifications and reports, and to keep records required to demonstrate compliance with the emission limitations for rubber processing. Capital O&M costs are slightly higher than the previously approved ICR due to the added requirements for monitoring of control devices, including BLDS and THC CEMS.
