This action proposes national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for fabric and other textile coating, printing, slashing, dyeing, and finishing operations, pursuant to section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This action also revises the title of the source category. The Printing, Coating and Dyeing of Fabrics source category was included in the initial list of categories of hazardous air pollutants (HAP), published in the Federal Register on July 16, 1992. This action changes the title of the source category to Printing, Coating, and Dyeing of Fabrics and Other Textiles, to clarify the applicability of the proposed NESHAP to HAP-emitting operations performed on textile substrates including, but not limited to, fabric. The EPA has estimated that there are approximately 135 major source facilities in the Printing, Coating, and Dyeing of Fabrics and Other Textiles source category. The principal HAP emitted by these affected sources include toluene, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), methanol, xylenes, methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), methylene chloride, n-hexane, trichloroethylene, and n,n-dimethyl formamide. Secondary HAP emitted include 1,1,1-trichloroethane, naphthalene, ethyl benzene, glycol ethers (ethylene glycol), biphenyl, and styrene. Exposure to these substances has been demonstrated to cause adverse health effects such as irritation of the eye, lung, and mucous membranes, effects on the central nervous system, and damage to the liver. The EPA has classified two of the HAP as probable or possible human carcinogens. In general, these adverse health effect findings have only been shown with concentrations higher than those typically in the ambient air. The proposed standards would reduce nationwide HAP emissions from major sources by approximately 60 percent. The reduction in HAP emissions would be achieved by requiring all fabric and other textiles coating, printing, slashing, dyeing, and finishing operations at major sources to meet the HAP emission standards reflecting the application of the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). Emission reductions achieved by these standards, when combined with the emission reductions achieved by other similar standards, would protect and enhance the quality of the Nation's air resources so as to promote the public health and welfare, protect the environment, and achieve a primary goal of the CAA.
