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: Individual and fleet owners of motor vehicles and engines. Estimated Number of Respondents: Approximately 4,285 owners/lessees receive EPA’s solicitations to participate and approximately 164 do participate. Frequency of Response: On Occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 521. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $11,295, including $0 annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 90 responses and 98 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is entirely due to removal of the heavy-duty and non-road portions of this ICR, which will henceforth be covered under a different information collection request (OMB Control Number 2060–0287). Dated: February 16, 2011. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

    Title: National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for 
Consumer Products (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1764.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0348.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on February 28, 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 information collection includes initial reports and 
periodic recordkeeping necessary for EPA to ensure compliance with 
Federal standards for volatile organic compounds in consumer products. 
Respondents are manufacturers, distributors, and importers of consumer 
products. Responses to the collection are mandatory under 40 CFR part 
59, subpart C, National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards 
for Consumer Products. All information submitted to the EPA for which a 
claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the

of Business Information.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for

[[Page 10026]]

this collection of information is estimated to average 40 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: Manufacturers and importers of 
consumer products.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 732.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 29,613.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,364,069 in labor costs; there are 
no capital/startup costs or O&M costs associated with this ICR.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or 
capital and O&M costs to the respondents in this ICR compared to the 
previous ICR because the regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years. However, the change in labor costs for industry and EPA is due 
to the use of more current labor rates.
