ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0663.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0001. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 30, 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: Respondents are owners or operators of beverage can surface coating facilities. These standards apply to each beverage can surface coating operation in which organic coatings are applied (exterior base coat operations, over varnish coating operations, and inside spray coating operations) that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after November 26, 1980. Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make initial reports when a source becomes subject to the standards, 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 New Source Performance Standards (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 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 43 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 beverage can surface coating facilities. Estimated Number of Respondents: 48. Frequency of Response: Semiannually, On Occasion, Initially. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 5,134. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $515,230--which includes $414,430 in labor costs, $100,800 in annual Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs, and no capital/startup costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the burden hours or cost to the respondents in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for the respondents is very low, negative or nonexistent. Therefore, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the respondents and are reiterated in this ICR. It should be noted that there is a minor correction of $200 to the O&M costs due to rounding errors in the previous ICR. Dated: September 11, 2009.
