•	Existing Sources: December 28, 2009.
•	New Sources: Upon initial startup.
What Are The Permitting Requirements?
•	Affected facilities must obtain a Title V
permit.
What Are The Impacts?
• Three glass plants are expected to have to
add controls to comply with the rule.
What Records Are Required?
Reporting:
•	Initial notification and notification of
compliance status (may be combined), due
120 days after promulgation date
•	Initial notification informs EPA that the
facility is subject to the standards.
Notification of compliance status provides
certification of compliance with standards.
•	No ongoing compliance reports to be
required beyond Title V Requirements.
Recordkeeping:
•	Records to include copies of notifications
submitted to EPA, glass production data,
and records of monitoring and inspections.

NESHAP
(SUBPART SSSSSS)
Final Rule

-------
GLASS MANUFACTURING
(SUBPART SSSSSS)
What Is An Area Source?
•	Any source that is not a major source.
(A major source is a facility that emits, or
has the potential to emit in the absence of
controls, at least 10 tons per year (TPY) of
individual hazardous air pollutants (HAP) or
25 TPY of combined HAP.)
Who Does This Rule Apply To?
•	Facilities with glass manufacturing furnaces
producing at least 50 tons of glass per year.
Who is Subject to The Rule?
•	Glass manufacturing plants with continuous
furnaces that process urban HAP metals
(As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Mn, Ni) as raw materials
(not including trace materials in non-HAP
raw materials such as sand).
What am I Required to Do?
•	All affected sources must meet one of two
emissions limits. New and existing sources
have different monitoring requirements.
The charts on the following pages explain, in
detail, how all affected glass manufacturers can
comply with the rule.
Initial testing requirement:
• One-time performance test on each furnace
unless the furnace has been tested in the
last 5 years and the previous test
demonstrated compliance.
Monitoring Requirements
