The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wrote this document to help educate sources, EPA Regional Office staff and State/local air pollution control agency personnel (you) on the requirements of the final rule - National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities. This document includes an overview of the rule, applicability flow charts and inspection checklists. The flowcharts should help you understand if your process is subject to the rule. The checklists provide the detail needed to help you check if you’re in compliance with the rule.

This document was originally prepared in August 1997, but it has been updated subsequently in March 1998, December 1998, and finally in January 2001 with a new amendments update; the changes for this update are highlighted in the document.
