The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coke Oven Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCCCC) were proposed on July 3, 2001 (66 FR 35325), promulgated on April 14, 2003 (68 FR 18007), and most-recently amended on August 2, 2005 (70 FR 44285). These regulations apply to pushing, soaking, quenching, and battery stacks on both existing and new coke oven batteries (coke plants) that are major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. 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 CCCCC.
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, the reports are sent directly to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.
The final RTR amendments to the rule eliminate the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption; remove the SSM plan requirement; add electronic submittal of notifications, semiannual reports, and performance test reports; add requirements for the control of mercury (Hg), total acid gases (hydrogen fluoride plus hydrogen chloride) (AG), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), and total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from pushing sources; Hg, particulate matter (PM), total AG, and HCN from battery stacks; Hg, PM, AG, total PAH from HRSG main stacks; and Hg PM, total AG, total PAH, and formaldehyde from HRSG bypass/waste heat stacks; and make technical and editorial changes. The remaining portions of the NESHAP remain unchanged.
This ICR is prepared for final RTR amendments to the NESHAP for Coke Oven Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart CCCCC). The number of affected facilities changed because of continued closures within the Coke Manufacturing industry, which reduced the number of facilities previously affected by Subpart CCCCC. The burden estimate for familiarizing with regulatory requirements was increased to reflect the actual time it would take industry to review the amendments. Burden estimates were added for the industry to meet the requirements for the control of Hg, total AG, HCN, and total PAH from pushing sources; Hg, PM, total AG, and HCN from battery stacks; Hg, PM, AG, total PAH from HRSG main stacks; and Hg PM, total AG, total PAH, and formaldehyde from HRSG bypass/waste heat stacks, prepare notifications of performance test/performance evaluation, report the results of the performance tests through the ERT, prepare notification of compliance status, record failures to meet standards and actions taken to minimize emissions, conduct refresher training, transition to submitting notifications and semiannual reports through CEDRI, and compile data for semiannual reports. Burden estimates were removed for developing SSM plans and submitting periodic SSM reports.
