The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Paper and Other Web Coating
were proposed on September 13, 2000, and promulgated on December 4,
2002. These regulations apply to new and existing paper and other
web coating facilities that include web coating lines engaged in
the coating of metal webs used in flexible packaging, and web
coating lines engaged in the coating of fabric substrates for use
in pressure sensitive tape and abrasive materials. 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 JJJJ. Amendments to the
NESHAP are being finalized as a result of the residual risk and
technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA) (as
discussed further below). 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
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 affected facilities subject to NESHAP. The
finalized NESHAP amendments to the rule eliminate the startup,
shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption; remove the SSM plan
requirement; add periodic performance testing; add electronic
submittal of notifications, semiannual reports and performance test
reports; and make technical and editorial changes. The remaining
portions of the NESHAP will remain unchanged. In general, all

being proposed as a result of the residual risk and technology
review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The proposed
RTR amendments to the rule would eliminate the startup, shutdown,
and malfunction (SSM) exemption; remove the SSM plan requirement;
add periodic performance testing; add electronic submittal of
notifications, semiannual reports and performance test reports; and
make technical and editorial changes. The remaining portions of the
NESHAP would remain unchanged.
This ICR is prepared for final
amendments to the NESHAP for Paper and Other Web Coating
Manufacturing (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart JJJJ). These final NESHAP
amendments will: (1) 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 JJJJ) to eliminate the SSM
exemption and SSM plan requirement; (2) add periodic performance
testing; (3) add electronic submittal of notifications, semiannual
reports and performance test reports; and (4) make technical and
editorial changes. The number of affected facilities changed from
the estimate in the 2018 ICR renewal request for comments due to
updates to the number of affected facilities based on EPAs recent
RTR efforts and subsequent updates from other information sources.
The burden estimate for familiarizing with regulatory requirements
was increased to reflect the actual time it would take industry to
review the proposed amendments. Burden estimates were added for the
industry to prepare for/attend periodic performance tests and
record failures to meet standards and actions taken to minimize
emissions. Burden estimates were removed for developing SSM plans
and submitting periodic SSM reports.
