Title: NESHAP for the Surface Coating of Large Household and
Commercial Appliances (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1954.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0457.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled 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 the Surface Coating of Large Household and
Commercial Appliances were proposed on December 22, 2000 (65 FR 81133)
and promulgated on July 23, 2002 (67 FR 48253).
These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities
that perform surface coating of large household and commercial
appliances and related parts where the total Hazardous Air Pollutants
(HAPs) emitted are greater than or equal to 10 tons per year of any one
HAP; or where the total HAPs emitted are greater than or equal to 25
tons per year of any combination of HAPs.
In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities. They 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 affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 97
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: Large household and commercial
appliance manufacturers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 90.
Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 28,845.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,498,984, which includes: $2,326,984
in labor costs, $64,000 in annualized Capital/Start-Up costs, and
$108,000 in O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens.
Dated: April 17, 2009.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
