The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart FFFF) were proposed on April 4, 2002, and promulgated on July 14, 2006. These regulations apply to both existing facilities and new facilities that manufacture a miscellaneous organic chemical and that are located at, or are part of, major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart FFFF.
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 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 decrease in burden is due to more accurate estimates of existing sources based on information gathered by EPA and confirmed by industry. The decrease in the number of respondents also results in a decrease in responses and operation and maintenance costs.
