ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2115.04, OMB Control Number 2060– 0535. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2013. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 HHHHH. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit an initial notification report, 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 are required semiannually at a minimum. Respondents/Affected Entities: Miscellaneous coating manufacturing facilities. Estimated Number of Respondents: 135. Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 171,406 ‘‘Burden’’ is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Estimated Total Annual Cost: $19,475,893 which includes $16,597,393 in labor costs, $30,000 in capital/startup costs, and $2,848,500 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the respondent burden hours and costs as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This adjustment increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR is due to a projected growth in the respondent universe, which results in an increase in the total number of sources, as well as VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:13 Jun 21, 2013 Jkt 229001 updated labors rates available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The growth in respondent universe also results in an increase in the total O&M costs. There is also a decrease in the EPA burden hours and costs due to a correction in this ICR. The previous ICR assumed that all existing sources have submitted an emission averaging plan, but incorrectly presented EPA burden for the annual review of emission averaging plans. This ICR corrects this inconsistency, which results in a decrease in Agency burden. Richard T. Westlund, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
