On December 11, 2003, EPA published national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing. The direct final rule amends the NESHAP by providing additional compliance options and clarifications. Specifically, the direct final rule amendments specify that compliance with a percent reduction emission limit may be demonstrated by measuring total organic compounds (TOC), compliance with the weight percent hazardous air pollutant (HAP) limit in coatings products may be demonstrated based on formulation data, and the cover or lid on a process vessel may be opened for material additions and sampling. The direct final rule amendments also clarify the requirements for cleaning operations, the compliance date for equipment that is added to an existing source, the conditions under which you must determine whether an emission stream is a halogenated vent stream, and the terminology used to describe the emission limits for process vessels. The direct final rule amendments also revise the definition of Group 2 transfer operations to clarify that all product loading operations are part of the miscellaneous coating manufacturing affected source and, thus, are not subject to the organic liquid distribution (OLD) NESHAP. We are making the amendments by direct final rule, without prior proposal, because we view the revisions as noncontroversial and anticipate no adverse comments.
