        <RULE_TITLE>NESHAP: Halogenated Solvent Cleaning--Residual Risk Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Halogenated Solvent Cleaning NESHAP limits emissions of HAP from solvent cleaning machines that use any of the following halogenated solvents: methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, 1,1,1, - trichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, or any combination of these solvents in a total concentration greater than 5 percent by weight. Each individual solvent cleaning machine is an affected source. The Halogenated Solvent Cleaning NESHAP was projected to reduce nationwide emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from halogenated solvent cleaning machines by 85,300 tons per year, or 63 percent of the 1991 baseline emissions of 140,525 tons/year. On December 3, 1999, the rule was amended by adding compliance options for continuous web cleaning machines. Continuous web cleaning machines are considered a subset of in-line cleaning machines and are defined as: "a solvent cleaning machine in which parts such as film, coils, wire, and metal strips are cleaned at speeds typically in excess of 11 feet per minute. Parts are generally uncoiled, cleaned such that the same part is simultaneously entering and exiting the solvent application area of the solvent cleaning machine, and then recoiled or cut." This action is required by the CAA to assess residual risk and develop standards as necessary to provide an ample margin of safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 112(f) of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to assess residual risks that remain after implementation of technology-based standards for each category of major sources of air-toxic emissions. Section 112(f) also mandates EPA to develop additional emission standards for these sources, as necessary, to provide an ample margin of safety. This rule will cover the major sources of air emissions within the halogenated solvent cleaning industry.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Based on its findings, EPA is co-proposed and sought comment on two options to amend to the existing standards. Both options would impose an annual cap on emissions of the solvents methylene chloride, perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene and provide cost savings to the industry. The proposed emission caps provide affected facilities with the flexibility to reduce their emissions using any traditional methods available to reduce emissions from their degreasing operations.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Costs and benefits were summarized in the NPRM. The differences between the two options is that the annual costs for Option 1 are completely offset by the solvent savings of up to $1 million when compared to the annual costs of Option 2.  Option 2 establishes a more stringent emission cap, reduces more individual risks compared to Option 1 and moves more people into the range that EPA considers acceptable with a margin of safety.  Option 2 will require an increased number of facilities with risks already less than 1-in-a-million to comply with the standard. No significant small business impacts are expected under either Options 1 or 2.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Risk information was summarized in the NPRM. EPA completed a risk assessment to evaluate the risks remaining now that hazardous air emissions have been controlled at these facilities through MACT. Residual risks were found to exist from a number of facilities. Also in preparation for the proposed action, EPA completed a technology review to determine if it was necessary to revise the existing standards to account for developments in work practices, processes, and control technologies.]]></RISKS>
