The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Aerospace Manufacturing and
Rework Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GG) were proposed on
June 6, 1994; promulgated on September 1, 1995 and amended on both
December 7, 2015 and August 3, 2016. These regulations apply to
existing and new aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities
where the total hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted are greater
than or equal to 10 tons per year of any combination of HAP, or
where the total HAP emitted are greater than or equal to 25 tons
per year of any combination of HAP. New facilities include those
that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of
proposal. Operations covered include: cleaning, primer and top coat
application, depainting, chemical milling maskant application,
handling and storage of waste, and specialty coating operations.
This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40
CFR Part 63, Subpart GG. 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.
There is no significant change
in burden from the most recently approved ICR as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is due to
two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over
the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the
next three years. Second, the growth rate for this industry is very
low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the
overall burden. There is a slight increase in costs, which is
wholly due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR uses labor
rates from the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report
(September 2022) to calculate respondent burden costs. There is an
increase in capital and operation & maintenance costs due to an
adjustment to increase from 2007 to 2022 $ using the CEPCI
Equipment Cost Index.
