Title: NSPS for Metal Coil Surface Coating (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0660.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0107.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on February 28, 2009.
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: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the
regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart TT were proposed on
January 5, 1981 and promulgated on November 1, 1982. These regulations
apply to the following surface coating lines in the metal coil surface
coating industry: each prime coat operation, each finish coat
operation, and each prime and finish coat operation cured
simultaneously where the finish coat is applied wet on wet over the
prime coat.
In general, all New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) require
initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners
or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence
and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation
of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring
system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are
essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources
subject to NSPS.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 41
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
[[Page 64317]]
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 coil
surface coating facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 158
Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and
annually
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 15,643
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,594,680, which is comprised of
$331,800 in Operations and Maintenance (O&M) cost, $1,262,880 in annual
labor costs, and no capital/startup costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a change of $200 in the total
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved
ICR Burdens since the O&M cost, which was previously rounded to the
nearest thousand, has been actually reduced by $200.00.
Dated: October 23, 2008.
