Title: NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (Renewal).
Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP), for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants were
proposed on July 18, 2000 (65 FR 44616), and promulgated on June 10,
2002 (67 FR 39812) and amended on March 17, 2003 (68 FR 12592). These
standards apply to each facility that is a major source of hazardous
air pollutant (HAP), at which a coil coating line is operated. This
coating line is used to coat metal coil of thicknesses both less than
and greater than or equal to 0.15 millimeters (0.006 inches) thick.
Owners or operators must submit notification reports upon
construction or reconstruction of any metal coil surface coating plant.
Semiannual reports for periods of operation during which the emission
limitation is exceeded (or reports certifying that no exceedances have
occurred) also are required. Records and reports will be required to be
retained for a total of five years.
All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In
the event that there 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 in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 119
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 be able 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 or operators of metal coil
surface coating plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 89.
Frequency of Response: Initially, annually, semiannually, weekly,
and occasionally.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 19,901 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs: $1,592,013, which includes $0
annualized capital/startup cost and $3,648 O&M costs and $1,588,365 in
Respondent Labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 5,147 hours as
compared to the active ICR. The reason for this decrease in labor hours
is due to the fact that there are no new or reconstructed sources in
this renewal that would require reporting requirements associated with
this standard.
There is also a significant reduction in the cost burden due to a
reduction in the capital/startup costs because monitors do not have to
be purchased. However, the cost to operate and maintain (O&M) those
monitors continues from year to year.
Dated: July 18, 2005.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
