The New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) for Rubber Tire Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart BBB)
apply to existing and new facilities with the following processes:
undertread cementing operations, sidewall cementing operations,
tread end cementing operations, bead cementing operations, green
tire spraying operations, Michelin-A operations, Michelin-B
operations, and Michelin-C automatic operations. Affected
facilities include those that commenced construction, modification,
or reconstruction after January 20, 1983. This information is being

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
NSPS.
