National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Source Category: Large Appliances Surface Coating Operations. Background Information for Promulgated Standards

摘要

On December 22, 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed national emission standards for hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from large appliance surface coating operations at major source facilities (65 FR 81134). These proposed standards implemented section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). There were 17 comment letters on the proposal, and the commenters consisted of trade associations, manufacturers, associations representing State and local air pollution control agencies, and U.S. Government agencies. Summaries of the comments, and the EPA's responses, are presented in this background information document (BID Volume II). This summary of comments and responses served as the basis for the revisions made to the rule between proposal and promulgation. Besides summarizing the comments and responses, this document also presents a summary of the significant rule revisions. This document supplements BID Volume I, 'National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Source Category: Large Appliances Surface Coating Operations - Background Information for Proposed Standards,' September 2000, EPA Document No. EPA- 453/R00-006 (Docket A-97-41, item III-B-1).
