Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart OOO were proposed on December 14, 1998, promulgated on January 20, 2000, and amended on April 20, 2006, October 8, 2014, and October 15, 2018. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that engage in the manufacture of amino/phenolic resins with HAP emissions points that include: (1) reactor batch process vents; (2) nonreactor batch process vents; (3) continuous process vents; (4) equipment leaks; (5) wastewater; (6) storage vessels; and (7) heat exchangers. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal of the 2014 rule amendment. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart OOO. The October 15, 2018 amendments (83 FR 51842) responded to petitions for reconsideration regarding the NESHAP rule revisions that were promulgated on October 8, 2014 and revised the standards for continuous process vents (CPVs) at existing affected sources, revised the requirements for storage vessels at new and existing sources during periods when an emission control system used to control vents on fixed roof storage vessels is undergoing planned routine maintenance, and included minor technical corrections to improve rule clarity. This renewal incorporates revised costs and burden from activities from these final rule amendments. 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.
