SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: NSPS for Metal Coil Surface Coating (subpart TT), OMB
Control Number 2060-0107, EPA ICR Number 0660.08, expiration date
January 31, 2003. This is a request for extension of a currently
approved collection.
Abstract: The New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) for Surface
Coating of Metal Coils were proposed on January 5, 1981, and
promulgated on November 1, 1982. These standards apply to each metal
coil surface coating operation in which organic coatings are applied
that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after
January 5, 1981. Approximately 161 sources are currently subject to the
standard, and it is estimated that 4 sources per year will become
subject to the standard. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are the
pollutants regulated under this subpart, and this information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart TT.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make
initial reports when a source becomes subject, conduct and report on a
performance test, demonstrate and report on continuous monitor
performance, and maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected
facility. Semiannual reports of excess emissions are required. These
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining
compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to
NSPS.
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least
2 years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports,
and records. All reports are sent to the delegated State or Local
authority. In the event that their is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA Regional Office.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed
[[Page 68863]]
in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. The Federal Register document
required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published on June 20, 2002. No comments were
received.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 36
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train personnel to respond to a
collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the
collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners/Operators of Metal Coil
Surface Coating Plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 165.
Frequency of Response: semiannual for all, every other year for
excess emission report.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 14,531.
Estimated Total Annualized Capital, O&M Cost Burden: $318,000.
Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the
accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods
for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of
automated collection techniques to the addresses listed above. Please
refer to EPA ICR Number 0660.08 and OMB Control Number 2060-0107 in any
correspondence.
