The NESHAP for the Manufacture of Amino/Phenolic Resins were proposed on December 14, 1998, and promulgated on January 20, 2000. The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKK. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a onetime only report of any physical or operational changes, initial performance tests, and periodic reports and results.
Owners or operators 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. Reports are required semiannually at a minimum.
There is an overall decrease in the respondent and Agency burden and cost. This is not due to any program changes. The burden decreased since the last ICR renewal due to a revision in the number of respondents. Based on recent industry data and Agency estimates, we have revised the number of affected sources from 40 to 37. This revision also resulted in a corresponding decrease in the total O&M costs.
In addition, this ICR corrects the Agency burden associated with the review of repeat performance tests. This ICR assumes that only 5 percent of respondents will conduct these tests.
