The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coke Oven Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCCCC) 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. 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 CCCCC.

This ICR is prepared for proposed RTR amendments to the NESHAP for Coke Oven Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart CCCCC). These proposed RTR amendments: (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 CCCCC) to remove the SSM exemption and SSM plan requirement; (2) add 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; (3) add electronic submittal of notifications, semiannual reports, and performance test reports; and (4) make technical and editorial changes. Where applicable, adjustments for these proposed RTR amendments are reflected in Tables 1 and 2 of this ICR. 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. Costs per labor hour increased slightly due to increases in Technical and Clerical labor rates. 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 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.
