The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Reinforced Plastic Composites (RPC) Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart WWWW) apply to both existing facilities and new facilities with reinforced plastic composites (RPC) production operations and processes. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal.
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 with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart WWWW.
The increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an increase in adjustment(s). The adjustment increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to a change in regulatory requirements stemming from the 2020 RTR ICR (EPA ICR No. 1976.09) and the incorporation of its burden into the currently-approved ICR. Items added include burden for work practice requirements and time to record information. Work practice requirements have had a significant impact on the burden since facilities are complying with the current regulations through pollution prevention measures rather than add-on control devices. The time to complete semiannual compliance reports and time to train personnel have also been adjusted. Reporting emissions exceedances or no emissions exceedances is included in the semiannual compliance reports, and the time to train personnel was adjusted to represent facilities of any size. In addition, capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs have decreased from the previous ICR. It is estimated no new facilities will be subject to the rule and that existing facilities are complying with the rule using compliant materials instead of add-on control devices.
