Title: NESHAP for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating

Operations at Area Sources (Renewal).

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2268.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0607.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2011.

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 affected entities are subject to the General

Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart

HHHHHH.

Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one- time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators 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. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3 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 paint stripping and miscellaneous surface coating operations area sources.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 39,812.

Frequency of Response: Initially, annually and on-occasion.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 124,527 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $11,423,194, which includes

$11,280,974 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $142,220 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is a net decrease in labor hours and a net increase in cost to the Respondents in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. A decrease in hour burden to respondents occurs because the burden estimates for the previous ICR were based on requirements applicable during the first three years after promulgation of the rule. The burden presented in this ICR is based on estimates of burden to industry after the initial three-year period. This ICR uses the most recent labor rates to estimate the cost burden to the industry, which reflect a higher cost per hour.

There is an increase in O&M cost to the Respondents in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The increase is due to updates in the O&M estimates using information that applies after the first three-year period of the regulation.

There is an increase in the total number of responses in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This increase occurs because the estimate of total number of responses for the previous ICR was based on requirements applicable during the first three years after promulgation of the final rule. Additionally, new sources each year become subject to recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The estimate of total number of responses presented in this ICR is based on burden to industry after the initial three-year period.

Dated: March 11, 2011.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
