Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Paints and Allied Products Manufacturing Area Source Category (40 CFR Part 63) were proposed on June 1, 2009, and promulgated on December 3, 2009. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that are an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions and that either use or have the potential to emit urban air toxics (i.e., benzene; methylene chloride; cadmium, chromium, lead, and nickel compounds). 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 CCCCCCC. 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.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens; this decrease is not due to any program changes. The decrease in burden is due to more accurate estimates of existing sources based on information gathered by industry. Specifically, the American Coatings Association (ACA) provided that the previous estimate of 2,190 sources is based on the 2009 proposed rule, which relied on 2002 U.S. Census data to identify 2,510 paints and allied products manufacturing facilities, of which 2,190 were further estimated to be small business and assumed to be area sources of HAP. However, the final rule made clarifications on the applicability of the NESHAP, including that final rule did not include retail and commercial paints and allied products operations which add and mix pigments to pre-manufactured products per customer specifications; that the rule does not apply to activities conducted by end users of coating products in preparation for application; and that the Generally Available Control Technology (GACT) requirements only apply when the target HAP are being processed, used, or generated (rather than at all times regardless of whether any of the target HAP was or was not being used). The ACA indicated that because the final rule only applies to those facilities that use the HAPs of concern (benzene, methylene chloride, or compounds of cadmium, chromium, lead, and/or nickel, in amounts greater than or equal to 0.1 percent by weight), the number of affected facilities is much smaller than what was initially proposed. The ACA stated that only 10% of paint and allied products facilities (or 219 of the 2,190 small sources identified in the 2009 final rule and prior ICR) would use the HAPs of concern (benzene, methylene chloride, or compounds of cadmium, chromium, lead, and/or nickel, in amounts greater than or equal to 0.1 percent by weight). Therefore, this ICR adjusts the total number of respondents to 219. The decrease in the number of respondents also results in a decrease in responses. There was no change in the operation and maintenance costs.
