Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart EE. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial notification, performance tests, periodic reports, and 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. Reports are also required semiannually.

Form Numbers: None.

Respondents/affected entities: Metal furniture surface coating facilities.

Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart EE).

Estimated number of respondents: 400 (total).

Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.

Total estimated burden: 56,500 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $6,530,000 (per year), includes $840,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the respondent labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is not due to any program changes. The small increase occurred because we assume all existing respondents will take some time to re-

familiarize themselves with the regulatory requirements each year. There is also an increase in the estimated labor costs due to use of more updated hourly labor rates.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
