Abstract:
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plywood and Composite Products (40 CFR Part 63 Subpart DDDD) were proposed on January 9, 2003, promulgated on July 30, 2004, and most-recently amended on October 29, 2007. These regulations apply to both new and existing plywood and composite wood products (PCWP) facilities that are a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). A PCWP manufacturing facility is a major source of HAP emissions either in and of itself, or because it is located with other major sources of HAP. Plywood and composite products include: plywood; veneer; particleboard; oriented strand board; hardboard; fiberboard; medium density fiberboard; laminated strand lumber; laminated veneer lumber; wood I-joists; kiln-dried lumber; and glue-laminated beams. New facilities include those that commenced construction, or reconstruction after January 9, 2003. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD. In general, all NESHAP require initial notification reports, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. Affected facilities are also required to maintain records of the operation of an affected facility or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. The notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. The Plywood and Composite Products (PCWP) NESHAP currently contains emissions limits (compliance options), operating requirements, and work practices for PCWP facilities. Lumber facilities that produce kiln-dried lumber and are major sources of HAP are also subject to the NESHAP but have no requirements other than submittal of an initial notification. The EPA is amending the PCWP NESHAP as part of the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under Clean Air Act sections 112(f)(2) and 112(d)(6). The proposed amendments to the rule eliminate the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption; remove the SSM plan requirement; add periodic emissions testing; add electronic submittal of notifications, semiannual reports, and performance test reports; and make technical and editorial changes. The remaining portions of the NESHAP remain unchanged. This supporting statement reflects the burden associated with the rule once it is amended. The amended rule resulting from the RTR will not alter the requirements for lumber facilities subject to the PCWP NESHAP.

Short Statement:
This ICR is prepared for amendments to the PCWP NESHAP (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart DDDD). These 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 DDDD) to remove the SSM exemption and SSM plan requirement; (2) add repeat emissions testing; (3) add electronic submittal of selected notifications, semiannual reports, and performance test reports; and (4) make technical and editorial changes. Where applicable, adjustments for these amendments are reflected in Tables 1 and 2 of this ICR. Additionally, number of affected mills increase since the previous ICR renewal. Finally, the burden estimate for familiarizing with regulatory requirements was increased to reflect the actual time it would take industry to review the amended rule. Burden estimates were added for the industry to prepare for/attend performance tests and retests, report the results of the performance tests/retests through CEDRI using the ERT, and adjust existing data acquisition systems to include startup and shutdown periods and to transition to submission of selected notifications and semiannual reports through CEDRI. Burden estimates were removed for developing SSM plans and submitting periodic SSM reports. In addition, the O&M costs were updated (increased) to include the startup cost for the initial and repeat performance tests, and to update the CMS costs to 2018 dollars.
