Abstract:
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymers Production Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDDDD) apply to existing facilities and new PVC and copolymer production facilities that are an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). This ICR includes burden estimates for area sources only. Major sources are regulated under NESHAP Subpart HHHHHHH and their burdens are included in a separate ICR (OMB Control Number 2060-0666). 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDDDD.
