Title: NESHAP for Paper and Other Web Coating (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1951.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0511.
ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on June 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: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Paper and Other Web Coating were proposed on
September 13, 2000 (65 FR 55331), and promulgated on December 4, 2002
(67 FR 72341). These standards apply to each existing, new, or
reconstructed paper and other Web coating (POWC) plant.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make the
following notification: (1) Initial notification; (2) notification of
performance test; and (3) notification of compliance status. Affected
sources must submit performance test reports, and a startup, shutdown,
malfunction (SSM) report. Owners or operators are also required to
maintain records on a monthly basis. They are: (1) Continuous emission
monitor data; (2) control device and capture system operating parameter
data; (3) organic HAP content data; (4) volatile matter and coating
solids content data; (5) overall control efficiency determination using
capture efficiency and control device; (6) material usage, organic HAP
usage, volatile matter usage, and coating solids usage; and (7) liquid-
liquid material balances. Semiannual compliance reports are also
required.
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart
must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at
least five years following the collection 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.
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 Number for EPA
regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, 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 23
hours per response. Burden means the total time,
[[Page 17856]]
effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose and 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. All existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and requirements that 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: Paper and other Web coating
manufacturers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 215.
Frequency of Response: Initially, monthly, semiannually, and
occasionally.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 11,312.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,765,629, which is comprised of
$913,229 in Labor costs, $233,500 in capital/startup costs and O&M
costs of $618,900.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three
years. Secondly, the current growth rate for the industry is very low,
negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the
overall burden. It should be noted that there is a correction to labor
cost. We also rounded-up the cost figures to the nearest dollar.
Dated: April 13, 2009.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
