Abstract:
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products were proposed on August 13, 2002, promulgated on January 2, 2004, and amended on April 26, 2004, April 20, 2006, and December 22, 2006. The NESHAP is codified at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MMMM. This supporting statement addresses information collection activities that will be imposed by the NESHAP for Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products, including activities added based on the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The NESHAP for Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products applies to each new and existing affected source of HAP emissions at facilities that are major sources and that perform miscellaneous metal parts and products surface coating operations, and associated equipment or containers used for mixing, conveying, storage, or waste. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after August 13, 2002. As part of the RTR for the NESHAP for Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not revising the emission limit requirements. The EPA is requiring periodic air emissions testing to measure organic HAP destruction or removal efficiency at the inlet and outlet of the add-on control device, or control device outlet concentration of organic HAP, once every five years for existing and new surface coating affected sources using the emission rate with add-on controls compliance option. The EPA is revising the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule and requiring the use of electronic data reporting for future performance test data submittals, notifications, and reports. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MMMM.

Short Statement:
There is an increase in the labor hours per respondent in this ICR as compared to the previous ICR renewal (EPA ICR Number 2056.06). This increase is due to four considerations: 1) an increased labor burden of 4 hours per respondent in year one to become familiar with the amended rules, 2) an increased labor burden of 8 hours per respondent in year one for revising previously developed SSM record systems, 3) an increased labor burden of 8 hours per respondent in year one to become familiar with CEDRI and the electronic reporting form for the semiannual report, and 4) an increased labor burden of 42 hours for three respondents in year three for conducting a performance test and reporting the results. There is an increase in the capital/startup costs as calculated in section 6(b)(iii) compared with the costs in the previous ICR renewal. The requirement for periodic performance testing requires seven existing facilities to conduct a performance test on seven add-on control devices, with an estimate of zero tests being repeated. The seven performance tests are estimated to cost $19,000 each. These facilities are not currently required to perform testing as a condition of their part 70 operating permits.
