Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Manufacture of Amino/Phenolic Resins (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; October 15, 2018; and November 19, 2020. These
regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that
manufacture 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 either commenced construction,
modification, or reconstruction after the date of the proposal. This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part
63, subpart OOO.
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.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Amino/phenolic resins manufacturing
facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart OOO).
Estimated number of respondents: 19 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly,
semiannually, and annually.
Total estimated burden: 23,300 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $5,080,000 (per year), which includes
$2,280,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the
most recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) the
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth
rate for this industry is either very low or non-existent, so there is
no significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes
in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry
growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation
and maintenance (O&M) activities. This ICR also updates the capital/
startup and O&M costs from 2014 to 2020, using the annual Chemical
Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI).
