6 Frequently Asked Questions about “The new national standard changes to five lead-acid batteries”

When did lead acid batteries become a source performance standard?

Lead acid batteries were first established as a performance standard on January 14, 1980. New source performance standards were first proposed in 40 CFR part 60, subpart KK for the Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing source category on this date ( 45 FR 2790 ). The EPA proposed lead emission limits based on fabric filters with 99 percent efficiency for grid casting and lead reclamation operations.

How many lead acid battery manufacturing plants are subject to NSPS?

1. NSPS The EPA has found through the BSER review for this source category that there are 40 existing lead acid battery manufacturing facilities subject to the NSPS for Lead-Acid Battery Manufacturing Plants at 40 CFR part 60, subpart KK.

What is a lead acid battery manufacturing source?

The lead acid battery manufacturing source category consists of facilities engaged in producing lead acid batteries. The EPA first promulgated new source performance standards for lead acid battery manufacturing on April 16, 1982.

What are the ICRS for lead acid battery manufacturing?

The ICRs (Integrated Compliance Reporting) for lead acid battery manufacturing are specific to the information collection associated with the Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing source category through the new 40 CFR part 60, subpart KKa and amendments to 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPPP.

Should lead acid battery manufacturers be required to perform performance tests?

The EPA is proposing to include in the Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing NSPS subpart KKa compliance provisions to require owners or operators of lead acid battery manufacturing affected sources to conduct performance tests once every 5 years.

What are the GACT standards for lead acid battery manufacturing?

The EPA also set GACT standards for the lead acid battery manufacturing source category on July 16, 2007. These standards are codified in 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPPP, and are applicable to existing and new affected facilities.
