Title: NSPS for Polymeric Coating of
Supporting Substrates Facilities (40 CFR
part 60, subpart VVV) (Renewal).
Abstract: New Source Performance
Standards (NSPS) subpart VVV applies
to each coating operation and any onsite
mix preparation equipment used to
prepare coating for the polymeric
coating of supporting substrates, that
commences construction, modification
or reconstruction after April 30, 1987.
The rule establishes standards for
volatile organic compound (VOC) use,
emission reduction limits, and for
capture and recovery of VOC emissions.
The monitoring and recordkeeping
requirements include: maintain records
of startups, shutdowns, malfunctions,
periods where the continuous
monitoring system is inoperative
60.7(b), and of all measurements
including performance test
measurements, operating parameters of
monitoring device results for catalytic or
thermal incinerator, carbon adsorption
system, condensation system, vapor
capture system and/or total enclosure
60.744(c–h); and monitor actual 12month volatile organic compounds
(VOC) use and make semiannual
estimate of projected VOC use, if
affected facility uses less than 95 Mg/
year of VOC or is subject to provisions
specified in § 60.742(c)(3) and other
information required by this part
recorded in a file suitable for inspection.
The recordkeeping, monitoring and
reporting requirements allow the
regulatory agencies to determine
compliance with the standard. One-time
reports are required to identify the
affected facilities and the compliance
method used. Semiannual reports of
compliance and quarterly reports of
monitoring exceedances and periods of
noncompliance are used to verify
compliance. Annual reports of when an
affected facility first exceeds a projected
VOC use limit or the 12-month actual
VOC limit are used to determine the
applicable requirements. Since none of
the required reports to the Agency have
been deemed confidential business
information, they will not be treated as
such. Responses are mandatory (40 CFR
part 60, subpart VVV).
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 are listed
in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15,
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
and are identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable. The
recordkeeping, notification and
reporting requirements of the standard
are critically important as they allow the
Agency to determine to which facilities
the standards apply and they enable the
Agency to monitor initial and ongoing
compliance with the standards. As
much as possible, in order to reduce the
burden, the compliance monitoring and
recordkeeping requirements are
designed to cover parameters that are
already being monitored as part of the
manufacturing process.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 83 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; 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 facilities
performing polymeric coating of
supporting substrates.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
53.
Frequency of Response: Initial, on
occasion, quarterly, semiannually,
monthly, annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
12,623 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$1,410,367, which includes $48,500
annualized capital/startup costs,
$556,500 annual O&M costs, and
$805,367 annual labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 1,743 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This decrease is due to a
reduction in the estimate of shutdowns
and malfunctions occurring annually, a
correction in the number of reported
respondents, and a recalculation of
burden resulting from reporting
activities.

Title: Facility Ground-Water
Monitoring Requirements (Renewal).
Abstract: This ICR examines the
ground-water monitoring standards for
permitted and interim status facilities at
40 CFR parts 264 and 265, as specified.
The ground-water monitoring
requirements for regulated units follow
VerDate jul<14>2003
19:18 Feb 02, 2005
Jkt 205001
a tiered approach whereby releases of
hazardous contaminants are first
detected (detection monitoring), then
confirmed (compliance monitoring), and
if necessary, are required to be cleaned
up (corrective action). Each of these
tiers requires collection and analysis of
ground-water samples. Owners or
operators that conduct ground-water
monitoring are required to report
information to the oversight agencies on
releases of contaminants and to
maintain records of ground-water
monitoring data at their facilities. The
goal of the ground-water monitoring
program is to prevent and quickly detect
releases of hazardous contaminants to
groundwater, and to establish a program
whereby any contamination is
expeditiously cleaned up as necessary
to protect human health and
environment. Subtitle C of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976
(RCRA) creates a comprehensive
program for the safe management of
hazardous waste. Section 3004 of RCRA
requires owners and operators of
facilities that treat, store, or dispose of
hazardous waste to comply with
standards established by EPA that are to
protect the environment. Section 3005
provides for implementation of these
standards under permits issued to
owners and operators by EPA or
authorized States. Section 3005 also
allows owners and operators of facilities
in existence when the regulations came
into effect to comply with applicable
notice requirements to operate until a
permit is issued or denied. This
statutory authorization to operate prior
to permit determination is commonly
known as ‘‘interim status.’’ Owners and
operators of interim status facilities also
must comply with standards set under
section 3004.
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 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 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 118 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

existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; 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:
Entities that operate surface
impoundments, waste piles, land
treatment units, and landfills which
manage hazardous waste regulated
under RCRA.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
824.
Frequency of Response: Quarterly.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
96,913.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$24,015,000, which includes $3,000
annual capital/startup costs,
$18,070,000 annual O&M costs and
$5,942,000 annual labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
increase of hours in the total estimated
burden currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
There is a slight increase in cost due to
inflation.
