Also included are establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing powder metallurgy products, metal boxes; metal ladders; metal household articles, such as ice cream freezers and ironing boards; and other fabricated metal products not elsewhere classified. 3443 Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing power and marine boilers, pressure and nonpressure tanks, processing and storage vessels, heat exchangers, weldments and similar products 3441 Establishments primarily engaged in fabricating iron and steel or other metal for structural purposes, such as bridges, buildings, and sections for ships, boats, and barges. 3433 Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing heating equipment, except electric and warm air furnaces, including gas, oil, and stoker coal fired equipment for the automatic utilization of gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels. Typical products produced in this source category include low-pressure heating (steam or hot water) boilers, fireplace inserts, domestic (steam or hot water) furnaces, domestic gas burners, gas room heaters, gas infrared heating units, combination gas-oil burners, oil or gas swimming pool heaters, heating apparatus (except electric or warm air), kerosene space heaters, gas fireplace logs, domestic and industrial oil burners, radiators (except electric), galvanized iron nonferrous metal range boilers, room heaters (except electric), coke and gas burning salamanders, liquid or gas solar energy collectors, solar heaters, space heaters (except electric), mechanical (domestic and industrial) stokers, wood and coal-burning stoves, domestic unit heaters (except electric), and wall heaters (except electric). 6

Category Industrial Machinery and Equipment Finishing Operations SIC Code SIC Code Descriptions 3531 Establishments primarily engaged in construction machinery manufacturing that includes establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing heavy machinery and equipment of types used primarily by the construction industries, such as bulldozers; concrete mixers; cranes, except industrial plan overhead and truck-type cranes; dredging machinery; pavers; and power shovels. Also included in this industry are establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing forestry equipment and certain specialized equipment, not elsewhere classified, similar to that used by the construction industries, such as elevating platforms, ship cranes and capstans, aerial work platforms, and automobile wrecker hoists. 3533 Establishments primarily engaged in oil and gas field machinery manufacturing; that includes establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing machinery and equipment for use in oil and gas fields or for drilling water wells, including portable drilling rigs. 3561 Establishments primarily engaged in pumps and pumping equipment manufacturing that includes establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing pumps and pumping equipment for general industrial, commercial, or household use, except fluid power pumps and motors. This category includes establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing domestic water and sump pumps Iron and Steel Forging 3462 Establishments primarily engaged in the forging manufacturing process, where purchased iron and steel metal is pressed, pounded or squeezed under great pressure into high strength parts known as forgings. The process is usually performed hot by preheating the metal to a desired temperature before it is worked. The forging process is different from the casting and foundry processes, as metal used to make forged parts is never melted and poured. Primary Metals Products Manufacturing Valves and Pipe Fittings 3399 Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing products such as fabricated wire products (except springs) made from purchased wire. These facilities also manufacture steel balls; nonferrous metal brads and nails; nonferrous metal spikes, staples, and tacks; and other primary metals products not elsewhere classified. 3494 Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing metal valves and pipe fittings; flanges; unions, with the exception of purchased pipes; and other valves and pipe fittings not elsewhere classified. 7

Kansas SBEAP Barb Johnson barblj@ksu.edu David Carter dcarter@ksu.edu 800-578-8898 KDHE Bureau of Air Jeremy Duis jduis@kdheks.gov 785-296-1542 U.S. EPA Region 7 Leslye Werner werner.leslye@epa.gov 913-551-7858

Following are Q&A s from the June 1, 2011 webinar. 34

Q: We have a company that takes care of the forms. Do we need anything else? A: There is other paperwork required, but not submitted to EPA or KDHE, such as records that must be maintained on site that the consultant completing your forms may not take care for you. These include manufacturer s instructions, paint booth filter records, visual emissions testing forms, etc. 35

Q: Some of our products fall under the "military munitions" exemption. Other products, such as gun mounts, are not specifically listed (are they components?), so I'm not sure if they are part of the exemption. Do you know if there's a list of military items that meet the exemption? A: This is so specific, we recommend you call your regulatory agency. In KS, call Jeremy at 785-296-1542. 36

Q: If we are a major source will we need to comply with any additional requirements by July 25th? A: The rule is for area sources only, therefore the rule does not apply to you. Q: if my NAICS code or SIC code is not in the list does this rule apply to me? A: No 37

Q: How often does list of HAP's change and how are we notified? A: Since the original list of Hazardous Air Pollutants was created on July 16, 1992, there have been 14 revisions to the list, not just adding or deleting substances, but also to extend comment periods or to revise the implementation schedule. All revisions are posted in the Federal Register. You can also check the EPA website at www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/socatlst/socatpg.html. A list of modifications to the list can be found on the EPA website www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/pollutants/atwsmod.html. 38

Q: Could you clarify the Spray Painting rule for "without a spray booth" (Fabricated Structural Metal facilities or any objects over 15 ft). How are they affected and how does it apply? A: The spray booth requirements do not apply to affected sources located at Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing facilities (SIC 3441 / NAICS 332312), or to affected sources that spray paint objects greater than 15 feet, that are not painted in spray booths or spray rooms. However, the spray painting management practices do apply (i.e., use of HVLP paint guns, painter training and certification, and spray gun cleaning requirements). 39

Q: Will the SBEAP be sending out letters/emails as a reminder for required submitting forms at certain times? A: Unfortunately, we don t have the resources to do that. For this rule, just remember to get your initial notification in by July 25, 2011 and the notification of compliance status by November 22, 2011. 40

Q: What s the difference between under/over 2000 lbs of welding wire annually? A: Basically, if you use less than 2,000 lbs welding rod/wire annually, just do management practices. If you use 2,000 lbs or more, then in addition to the management practices, conduct visible emissions testing. 41

Q: So is a facility in compliance by July 25, 2011 if they have not performed Method 22? A: Yes, as long as you have the maintenance practices etc. in place Q: Is it okay to wait on performing Method 22 until after July 25, 2011 but before Nov. 22, 2011? A: That is fine. 42

Q: Is there a form available to document nonapplicability? A: There is no specific form to indicate the 6X rule is not applicable to your facility. However, SBEAP recommends that you document the process used to determine the rule was not applicable to your facility, and recommends you maintain this documentation at your facility. 43

Q: If we are currently under a Class I Air Operating permit, do we need to do any of these additional requirements? A: It depends if you are a Class I for HAPS or for criteria pollutants. If you emit less than the 10 or 25 tons of HAPS and have one of the NAICS/SIC code combinations, you need to comply with the rule. 44
