2. The requirements were briefed to same during an annual environmental workshop hosted by the then AMCIS, 17-19 July 2001.

4. 4 “Surface Coating” NESHAPs 1. NESHAP apply to all industry - commercial or Federal.
2. NESHAP emanate from the Clean Air Act and are promulgated by EPA on a phased basis.
3. The top two NESHAP, aerospace and marine coatings, currently exist and we are in compliance.
4. The middle four (in blue) are still in negotiation, but publication is imminent. Compliance date will be FY06 regardless.
The two in italics, will probably be rolled into the Misc Metal Parts and Processes (MMPP) rule
MMPP and plastic parts and products rule will be published at same time.
If the Army does it right, compliance or elimination of MMPP will solve all four rules regardless of where the requirements end up.
5. The bottom four rules (in black) are rules that are in development and will be published in the future.

21. 21 AMC Costs for Compliance Do Nothing - AMC Installations Out of Compliance
NOVs, Fines and Work Stoppage
Cause Must Fund for AMC Installations to Install Controls
Plan & Program for Necessary Reformulation, Qualification, and Implementation
Estimated P2 Program is on the order of $50M
Smallest Portion is R&D 1. LTG Beauchamp memo, dtd 13 Feb 02, subj: Mission Impacts of the Impending NESHAPs, requested a determination of how each installation would fulfill it’s mission requirements if no additional funds were available to assist in complying with the new law (NESHAP).
2. Data returns and subsequent analysis:
First Bullet - 14 of the 17 “major source” installations indicated they would have to shut down in order to avoid NOV’s and daily fines. There did not appear to be an efficient way to off-load mission requirements via contract or the ability to combine mission load at a reduced number of installations to reduce the traditional compliance resource burden.
Second Bullet - cost of using traditional control technology (e.g., air scrubbers) to comply with the new NESHAP by FY06. Resources required FY06 and out cover the costs to operate, maintain, record and report. New control technology under development would not significantly reduce the overall bill.
Third Bullet - cost of P2. Low technical risk (CARC work completed) - medium resource risk because of POM timing. Compliance achieved, but FY06/07 costs include completion of manufacturing process change. Costs imbedded in FY06 and out (approx $600K+) ensures new material does not creep in that would force a compliance issue all over again.1.

22. 22 Goal: HAP-Free Coatings systems must comply with most stringent regulation
Must determine which regulations may apply to a coating/solvent
Reporting Units alone are complicated
Difficult to determine most stringent regulation without detailed analysis
Paint by Paint
Formulation by Formulation
Batch by Batch
Goal: HAP-Free Solvents and De-painters
Reduce/ Eliminate need for Record-keeping
Eliminates need for detailed material composition
Eliminates calculation of HAP content
HAP-Free others where practical
Certain High-Performance applications may still require High HAPs
Keep below High Performance HAP limits
Requires Commodity Management
Wherever possible, eliminate HAPs, increasing Solids/HAPs ratio
