National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Paper and Other Web Coating 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart JJJJ
Start Applicability criteria are the same for new and existing sources.
Final Version
Your facility is not a major source of HAP
No
Does your facility have the potential to emit (§63.3290) 10 tpy, or more, of any single HAP or 25 tpy, or more, of a combination of HAPs?a Yes Do you own or operate a facility that engages in the coating of paper, plastic film, metallic foil or any other web surfaces? Yes
Your facility is not subject to this subpart
No
Your line is exempt from this subpart.
Yes
Is your web coating line defined as research or laboratory equipment? [§63.3300(g)] No Does your web coating line engage in lithography, screenprinting, letterpress, and narrowweb flexographic printing processes? [§63.3300(c)]
To determine whether your facility may still be subject to this subpart, proceed to Step 2, and use the flow diagrams for each of the surface coating categories that apply to your facility. Yes Does your facility conduct surface coating for any of the following four categories: printing & publishing, magnetic tape manufacturing, metal coil fabricating, fabric coating?
To Step 2
Yes
No
No Your facility is subject to subpart JJJJ
For the purposes of Part 63, Potential to Emit (PTE) is defined as the maximum capacity of a source to emit a pollutant under its physical and operational design or practically enforceable permit limit. The major source determination is based on all applicable HAP emission points inside the facility fenceline, not just the source potentially affected by Subpart JJJJ.

Step 2 Final Version
Printing and Publishing (Subpart KK) Does your facility have printing presses and/or web coating lines that is standalone equipment engaged in printing operations that are covered under Subpart KK?a [§63.3300(a) and (b)] Yes These specific printing presses and web coating lines are not subject to this subpart, but are subject to the Printing & Publishing NESHAP
No
Magnetic Tape Manufacturing (Subpart EE) Does your facility have web coating lines engaged in magnetic tape manufacturing? [§63.3300(d)]b Yes These web coating lines are not subject to this subpart, but are subject to the Magnetic Tape Manufacturing NESHAP
No
Fabric Coating (Subpart OOOO) Does your facility have Yes web coating lines engaged in the coating of fabric and other webs on fabric coating lines? [§63.3300(f)]c No Proceed to Step 3 for Metal Coil Coating Operations
Definitions
Printing and Publishing is defined as publication rotogravure, product and packaging rotogravure, or wide-web flexographic printing press operations. b Magnetic Tape is defined as any flexible base substrate that is covered on one or both sides with a coating containing magnetic particles and that is used for audio recording, video recording, or any type of information storage. c Fabric is defined as any woven, knitted, plaited, braided, felted, or nonwoven material made of filaments, fibers, or yarns, including thread and includes fiberglass, natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or composite materials.
a
Yes
Is the fabric coating used for pressure sensitive tape or abrasive materials? No
You are subject to subpart JJJJ.
Your fabric processes are regulated as a separate source category and you are subject to the Fabric Printing, Coating and Dyeing NESHAP.

Step 3 Is your coil coating line used to coat metal coil of thicknesses both less than and greater than or equal to 0.15 millimeter (0.006 inch) thick, regardless of the percentage of surface area of each thickness coated [§63.5090(c)(1)]? Yes
Final Version
Metal Coil Coating (Subpart SSSS) Does your facility engage in any metal coil coating operations?a [§63.3300(e)] No
Yes
Does your facility coat metal strips or webs with a thickness of 0.15 No millimeters, or greater, that are packaged in a roll or coil (§63.3310)?
No
Is the coating line used to coat only metal coil that is less than 0.15 millimeter (0.006 inch) thick and is controlled by a common control device that also receives organic HAP emissions from a coil coating line that is subject to the requirements of subpart SSSS [§63.5090(c)(1)]? Yes
No
Yes Your metal coil coating line is regulated as a separate source category and you are subject to the Metal Coil NESHAP.
Your coating line is subject to subpart JJJJ, but you may choose to comply with subpart SSSS. If you comply with subpart SSSS, you will be considered in compliance with subpart JJJJ [§63.5090(c)].
a
Metal Coil Coating is defined as a continuous metal strip that is at least 0.15 millimeters thick which is packaged in a roll or coil prior to coating. Does not include metal webs that are used in flexible packaging.
You are subject to subpart JJJJ.
