Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plating and Polishing Area Sources (40 CFR part
63, subpart WWWWWW) were proposed on March 14, 2008; promulgated on
July 1, 2008; and most-recently amended on both September 19, 2011 and
November 19, 2020.\1\ These regulations apply to both existing and new
plating and polishing facilities that are an area source of hazardous
air pollutant (HAP) emissions and that use one or more of the following
metal HAP: cadmium, chromium, lead manganese, or nickel (hereafter
referred to as the plating and polishing metal HAP).
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. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWWWW.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Plating and polishing area source
facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart WWWWWW).
Estimated number of respondents: 2,900 (total).
Frequency of response: Annually.
Total estimated burden: 67,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $9,270,000 (per year), which includes $0
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not
changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change
over the next three years. Second, the growth rate for this industry is
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) costs.

Director, Information Engagement Division.
