ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2045.03, OMB Control Number 2060– 0550. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2007. 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: Respondents are owners or operators of automobile and light-duty truck surface coating operations. Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make initial reports when a source becomes subject to the standard, conduct and report on a performance test, demonstrate and report on continuous monitor performance, and maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility. Semiannual reports of excess emissions are required. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:36 Aug 16, 2007 Jkt 211001 file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date 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. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 91 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 automobile and light-duty truck surface coating operations. Estimated Number of Respondents: 65. Frequency of Response: Initially, Semiannually, and On Occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 25,190. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,321,787, which includes $0 annualized Capital Startup costs, $78,000 annualized Operating and Maintenance (O&M) costs, and $2,243,787 annualized Labor costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease of 8,247 hours in the total estimated burden and an increase in burden cost of $71,000 as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. These adjustments are not due to any program changes. The changes in the burden and cost estimates have occurred because the standard has been in effect for more than three years and the requirements are different during initial compliance (new facilities) as compared to on-going compliance (existing facilities). The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial compliance activities for subject facilities. Such activities include purchasing monitoring equipment, PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 conducting performance tests and establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR reflects the on-going burden for existing facilities. Activities for existing sources include continuously monitoring of pollutants and the submission of semiannual reports. The overall result is a decrease in burden hours, and an increase in burden cost. Dated: August 9, 2007. Sara Hisel-McCoy, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.
