    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.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
