Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Boat Manufacturing were proposed on July 14, 2000, promulgated on August 22, 2001, amended on October 3, 2001 and March 20, 2020, and technical corrections published on November 1, 2021. These regulations apply to both existing and new boat manufacturing facilities that are a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. This regulation covers resin and gel coat operations at fiberglass boat manufacturers, paint and coating operations at aluminum boat manufacturers, and carpet and fabric adhesive operations at all boat manufacturers. Air toxics are released during application and curing from the resins, gel coats, adhesives, coating, and solvents used in boat manufacturing. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after May 17, 2019. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart VVVV.
In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. Owners/operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any failures to meet applicable standards. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
Form Numbers: 5900-717.
Respondents/affected entities: Boat manufacturing facilities that are a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart VVVV).
Estimated number of respondents: 108 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, annually, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 11,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,620,000 (per year). There are no annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the standard has been in effect for more than three years and the requirements are different during initial compliance as compared to on-going compliance. The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial activities for subject facilities. This included re-evaluating startup, shutdown, and malfunctions requirements; CDX registration, and familiarization with CEDRI for electronic reporting. This ICR, by and large, reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities.
