The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at
40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQQ apply to existing and new friction
materials manufacturing facilities that use a solvent-based process
and that are major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP)
emissions. In general, all NESHAP require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of
the affected facilities. Owners/operators are also required to
maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any failures to
meet applicable standards, 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 sources subject to NESHAP. A semiannual report is also
required. This information is being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQQ. EPA is currently proposing to
amend the NESHAP for Friction Materials Manufacturing (40 CFR Part
63, Subpart QQQQQ). These amendments adjust references to the Part
63 General Provisions (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart A) and revise
provisions in the NESHAP (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQQ) to remove
the SSM exemption, SSM plan, and periodic reporting requirements,
as well as increasing the associated hours for the semiannual
report of deviations.
As a result of the currently
proposed amendments, burden estimates were removed for developing
startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) plans and submitting
periodic SSM reports. The estimated recordkeeping burden for
records of startup, shutdown, and malfunction were also
recalculated to more accurately represent the removal of the SSM
exemption. Burden estimates were increased by adding reporting
requirements in the semiannual report of deviation.
