Abstract:
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Leather Finishing Operations published at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart TTTT was proposed on October 2, 2000, promulgated on February 27, 2002, and amended on February 7, 2005. These regulations apply to existing, reconstructed, and new leather finishing operations. Leather finishing is defined as a single process or group of processes used to adjust and improve the physical and aesthetic characteristics of the leather surface through the multistage application of a coating comprised of dyes, pigments, film-forming materials, and performance modifiers dissolved or suspended in liquid carriers. A leather finishing operation is subject to the regulation only if it is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions, or is collocated with other sources that are individually or collectively a major source of HAP emissions. A major source emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at the rate of 10 tons (9.07 megagrams) or more per year, or any combination of HAP at a rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per year. 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 TTTT. 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. Respondents are owners or operators of leather finishing operations. Over the next three years, approximately 10 existing respondents shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. None of these ten facilities are owned by state, local, tribal or the Federal government. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. The required annual reports required of all affect facilities are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, and verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.
