Title: NESHAP for Automobile and Light-duty Truck Surface Coating
(Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2045.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0550.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2007.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
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
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: Respondents are owners or operators of automobile and
light-duty truck surface coating operations. Owners or operators of the
affected facilities described must make initial reports when a source
becomes subject to the standard, 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
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). 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 five
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 there is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 91
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 which have subsequently changed; 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 automobile
and light-duty truck surface coating operations.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 65.
Frequency of Response: Initially, Semiannually, and On Occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 25,190.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,321,787, which includes $0
annualized Capital Startup costs, $78,000 annualized Operating and
Maintenance (O&M) costs, and $2,243,787 annualized Labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease of 8,247
hours in the total estimated burden and an increase in burden cost of
$71,000 as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved
Burdens. These adjustments are not due to any program changes. The
changes in the burden and cost estimates have occurred because the
standard has been in effect for more than three years and the
requirements are different during initial compliance (new facilities)
as compared to on-going compliance (existing facilities). The previous
ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial
compliance activities for subject facilities. Such activities include
purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting performance tests and
establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR reflects the on-going
burden for existing facilities. Activities for existing sources include
continuously monitoring of pollutants and the submission of semiannual
reports. The overall result is a decrease in burden hours, and an
increase in burden cost.
