Title: NESHAP for Metal Can Manufacturing Surface Coating
(Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2079.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0541.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2007. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is
[[Page 27306]]
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 metal can
manufacturing 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 metal can
manufacturing surface coating operations.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 71.
Frequency of Response: Initially, Semiannually, On Occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 27,517.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,522,768, which comprises no
annualized capital costs, $85,200 O&M costs and $2,438,568 in labor
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The number of respondents has decreased
from the most recently approved ICR due to an improved estimate of the
number of facilities subject to 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKK. Despite
this decrease, the number of total annual responses has increased
slightly due to a revised estimate that considers the semiannual report
and excess emissions report separately, whereas the previous ICR
grouped them as one report. There is an increase of 19,702 hours in the
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. The previous ICR included only the burden
incurred by facilities initiating activities related to compliance in
advance of the compliance date. The increase in burden is due to
routine actions taken by the facilities to comply with 40 CFR part 63,
subpart KKKK on an ongoing basis.
The previous ICR shows higher capital/startup and O&M costs than
this ICR due to installation of monitoring equipment so that the only
costs incurred are those associated with O&M of the monitoring
equipment. At this point in time, all of the subject facilities have
installed the required monitoring equipment.
