Characterization/
Abstract
The
National
Emission
Standards
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
(
NESHAP)
for
Steel
Pickling,
published
at
40
CFR
Part
63,
Subpart
CCC,
were
proposed
on
September
18,
1997
(
62
FR
49051),
and
promulgated
on
June
22,
1999
(
64
FR
33202).
This
rule
applies
to
all
facilities
that
pickle
steel
using
hydrochloric
acid
or
regenerate
hydrochloric
acid,
and
are
major
sources
or
are
part
of
a
facility
that
is
a
major
source.
This
regulation
does
not
apply
to
any
pickling
line
that
uses
an
acid
other
than
hydrochloric
acid
or
an
acid
solution
containing
less
than
6
percent
hydrochloric
acid
(
HCl)
or
at
a
temperature
less
than
100
º
F.
This
rulemaking
establishes
limits
for
hydrochloric
acid
emissions
from
continuous
and
batch
pickling
lines
and
acid
regeneration
units
and
limits
for
chlorine
emissions
from
acid
regeneration
units.
Also,
operational
and
equipment
standards
are
established
for
stationary
acid
storage
vessels.

The
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
requirements
outlined
in
the
rule
are
similar
to
those
required
for
other
NESHAP
regulations.
Plants
must
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
emission
standards
by
monitoring
their
control
devices
and
performing
annual
emissions
testing.
Consistent
with
the
NESHAP
General
Provisions
(
40
CFR
Part
63,
Subpart
A),
respondents
would
submit
one­
time
notifications
of
applicability
and
a
one­
time
report
on
performance
test
results
for
the
primary
emission
control
device.
Plants
also
must
develop
and
implement
a
Startup,
Shutdown,
and
Malfunction
Plan
(
SSMP)
and
submit
semiannual
reports
of
any
event
where
the
procedures
in
the
plan
were
not
followed.
Sources
are
required
to
submit
semiannual
reports
at
all
times
including
for
periods
of
monitoring
exceedances
and
for
periods
of
compliance
certifying
that
no
exceedances
have
occurred
during
the
reporting
period.
Subpart
CCC
also
requires
the
owner
or
operator
to
submit
a
written
maintenance
plan
for
each
emission
control
device.
These
notifications,
reports,
and
records
are
essential
in
determining
compliance,
and
are
required
of
all
sources
subject
to
NESHAP.

Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
five
years
following
the
date
of
such
measurements,
maintenance
reports,
and
records.
All
reports
are
sent
to
the
delegated
State
or
local
authority.
In
the
event
that
there
is
no
such
delegated
authority,
the
reports
are
sent
directly
to
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
Regional
Office.

According
to
the
Federal
Register
on
the
proposed
rule
and
on
the
information
of
the
active
ICR,
the
EPA
estimates
that
62
of
the
80
existing
steel
pickling
facilities
are
using
hydrochloric
acid
and
all
8
acid
regeneration
plants
currently
in
operation,
six
of
which
are
collocated
with
pickling
facilities,
are
affected
by
this
rule
for
a
total
of
70
sources.
Based
on
further
consultation
with
the
EPA
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards
(
OAQPS),
we
have
determined
that
only
one
new
source
became
subject
to
the
standard
over
the
period
of
the
active
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR)
and,
therefore,
the
current
number
of
existing
sources
is
71
sources.
We
have
also
estimated
that
one
additional
source
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
over
the
next
three
years
of
this
ICR.
We
have
further
assumed
that
all
existing
sources
are
in
compliance
with
the
regulation
since
the
compliance
date
of
this
rule
has
passed
and,
therefore,
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
burden
for
this
ICR
will
be
higher.

For
this
information
collection,
we
have
addressed
the
Terms
of
Clearance
set
for
the
active
ICR.
We
have
accounted
for
the
amortization
of
capital
costs
as
discussed
in
Section
6(
b)(
iii)
(
Capital/
Startup
vs.
Operation
and
Maintenance
Costs)
of
this
ICR
and
have
revised
the
estimated
number
sources
complying
with
this
regulation
over
the
next
three
years,
as
discussed
above.

2.
Need
for
and
Use
of
the
Collection
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
EPA
is
charged
under
Section
112
of
the
Clean
Air
Act,
as
amended,
to
establish
standards
of
performance
for
each
category
or
subcategory
of
major
sources
and
area
sources
of
hazardous
air
pollutants.
These
standards
are
applicable
to
new
or
existing
sources
of
hazardous
air
pollutants
and
shall
require
the
maximum
degree
of
emission
reduction.

In
addition,
Section
114(
a)
states
that
the
Administrator
may
require
any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
any
requirement
of
this
Act
to:

(
A)
Establish
and
maintain
such
records;
(
B)
make
such
reports;
(
C)
install,
use,
and
maintain
such
monitoring
equipment,
and
use
such
audit
procedures,
or
methods;
(
D)
sample
such
emissions
(
in
accordance
with
such
procedures
or
methods,
at
such
locations,
at
such
intervals,
during
such
periods,
and
in
such
manner
as
the
Administrator
shall
prescribe);
(
E)
keep
records
on
control
equipment
parameters,
production
variables
or
other
indirect
data
when
direct
monitoring
of
emissions
is
impractical;
(
F)
submit
compliance
certifications
in
accordance
with
Section
114(
a)(
3);
and
(
G)
provide
such
other
information
as
the
Administrator
may
reasonably
require.

In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
hydrochloric
acid
emissions
from
continuous
and
batch
pickling
lines
and
acid
regeneration
units
and
of
chlorine
emissions
from
acid
regeneration
units
3
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
NESHAP
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
Part
63,
Subpart
CCC.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
hydrochloric
acid
emissions
from
continuous
and
batch
pickling
lines
and
acid
regeneration
units
and
of
chlorine
emissions
from
acid
regeneration
units
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
hydrochloric
acid
from
continuous
and
batch
pickling
lines
and
acid
regeneration
units
and
of
chlorine
emissions
from
acid
regeneration
units
are
the
result
of
operation
of
the
affected
facilities.
The
subject
standards
are
achieved
by
the
capture
and
reduction
of
hydrochloric
acid
emissions
and
of
chlorine
emissions
using
closed
vent
systems
at
storage
vessels
and
web
scrubbers
or
other
approved
alternative
control
equipment.
The
notifications
required
in
the
applicable
regulations
are
used
to
inform
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
when
a
source
becomes
subject
to
the
requirements
of
the
regulations.
The
reviewing
authority
may
then
inspect
the
source
to
check
if
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated
and
the
regulations
are
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
record
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standards,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
is
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulations,
as
required
by
the
Clean
Air
Act.
The
information
collected
from
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
also
used
for
targeting
inspections,
and
is
of
sufficient
quality
to
be
used
as
evidence
in
court.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requested
is
required
under
40
CFR
Part
63,
Subpart
CCC.

3(
a)
Nonduplication
If
the
subject
standards
have
not
been
delegated,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
appropriate
EPA
Regional
Office.
Otherwise,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
delegated
State
or
local
agency.
If
a
State
or
local
agency
has
adopted
their
own
similar
standards
to
implement
the
Federal
standards,
a
copy
of
the
report
submitted
to
the
State
or
local
agency
can
be
sent
to
the
Administrator
in
lieu
of
the
report
required
by
the
Federal
standards.
Therefore,
no
duplication
exists.
4
3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
October
29,
2001.
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
During
the
development
of
this
rule,
the
EPA
consulted
with
State
and
industry
representatives
including
the
three
firms
identified
as
potential
small
entities
to
discuss
any
potential
issues.
No
major
problems
regarding
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
or
reporting
procedures
were
identified.
For
this
information
collection,
we
conducted
a
query
on
the
Facility
Subsystem
(
AFS)
database
of
the
Aerometric
Information
Retrieval
System
maintained
by
OAQPS.
We
also
contacted
the
OAQPS
lead
staff
for
this
rule.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
standards.
Requirements
for
information
gathering
and
recordkeeping
are
useful
techniques
to
ensure
that
good
operation
and
maintenance
practices
are
applied
and
emission
limitations
are
met.
If
the
information
required
by
these
standards
was
collected
less
frequently,
the
likelihood
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
and
noncompliance
would
decrease.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
None
of
these
reporting
or
recordkeeping
requirements
violate
any
of
the
regulations
established
by
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
at
5
CFR
1320.6.

3(
f)
Confidentiality
The
required
information
consists
of
emissions
data
and
other
information
that
have
been
determined
not
to
be
private.
However,
any
information
submitted
to
the
Agency
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made
will
be
safeguarded
according
to
the
Agency
policies
set
forth
in

the
reviewing
authority
might
inspect
the
source
to
determine
whether
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated.
Performance
test
reports
are
used
by
the
Agency
to
discern
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard.
Data
and
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
for
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

Information
contained
in
the
reports
is
entered
into
AFS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards.
AFS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
over
100,000
industrial

EPA
uses
AFS
for
tracking
air
pollution
compliance

by
Local

State
regulatory
agencies,
EPA
Regional
Offices
and
EPA
Headquarters.
EPA
and
its
delegated
Authorities
can
edit,
store,
retrieve
and
analyze
the
data.

The
records
required
by
this
regulation
must
be
retained
by
the
owner
or
operator
for
five
years.

Small
Entity
Flexibility
During
the
development
of
the
NESHAP
for
steel
pickling,
it
was
determined
that
there
are
no
small
businesses
that
would
be
subject
to
the
NESHAP
or
incur
adverse
economic
impacts.
For
firms
that
are
not
small
entities
by
this
definition,
the
rule
provides
flexibility
to
the
regulated
community
in
the
choice
of
emission
limits
or
performance
standards.
Provisions
also
are
included
to
allow
additional
time
to
comply
if
needed
for
the
installation
of
capture
or
control
equipment.

requirements
applicable
to
the

are
expressed
under
standardized

believed
to
be
consistent
with
the
concept
of

to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these

requirements
is
estimated
to
be
25,103.92

are
based
on
Agency

Costs
The
types
of
industry
costs
associated
with
the
information
collection
activity
in
the
regulations
are
labor
and
continuous
emission
monitors
(
CEMs)
for
flow
meters.
The
capital/
startup
costs
are
one­
time
costs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
regulation.
The
10
annual
operation

will
occur
as
part
of
the
periodic
inspection
of
sources,
which
is
part
of
EPA's
overall

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
increase
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
an
adjustment.
The
adjustment
increase
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
the
assumptions
that
all
existing
sources
would
be
in
full
compliance
with
this
regulation
by
the
compliance
due
date
established
by
the
rule
(
June
2001)
and
no
source
has
asked
for
an
extension
of
the
compliance
date
that
would
fall
under
the
time
period
of
this
ICR.
These
assumptions
result
in
more
responses
per
year
over
the
three
year­
period
of
this
new
ICR
due
to
having
all
existing
sources
complying
with
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
for
this
rule.
In
addition,
the
cost
associated
with
this
ICR
would
be
affected
by
more
accurate
estimates
of
the
technical,
management
and
clerical
hourly
labor
rates
for
the
industry
sector,
as
well
as
for
government.
