Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Automobile and Lightduty Truck Surface Coating (40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII) apply to new, reconstructed, or existing facilities that apply topcoat to new automobile or new light-duty truck bodies or body parts for new automobiles or new light-duty trucks, and that is a major source, is located at a major source, or is part of a major source of emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). New facilities include those that commenced either construction, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. Owners and operators of major sources of HAP that apply topcoat to new automobile or new light-duty truck bodies or body parts for new automobiles or new light-duty trucks are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as for the applicable standards in 40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII. This includes submitting notifications, performance test reports, and periodic reports, as well as maintaining records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility; continuous parameter monitoring data; or any period during which the PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 monitoring system is inoperative. These reports are used by the EPA to determine compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Facilities that perform surface coating on automobile or light-duty trucks. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII). Estimated number of respondents: 43 (total). Frequency of response: Periodically and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 17,500 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $2,070,000 (per year), which includes $51,600 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in burden from the most recently-approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of sources subject to the rule. This estimate is based on Agency analyses conducted during the development the Risk and Technology Review for this subpart. This decrease in the number of sources leads to a decrease in the number of responses, reporting and recordkeeping hours, and a decrease in the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs as compared with the costs in the previous ICR.

Information About the Document Section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to identify and list certain air pollutants and to issue air VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:48 Sep 25, 2019 Jkt 247001 quality criteria for those pollutants. The Administrator is to list those pollutants ‘‘emissions of which, in his judgment, cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare’’; ‘‘the presence of which in the ambient air results from numerous or diverse mobile or stationary sources’’; and for which he ‘‘plans to issue air quality criteria. . . .’’ (42 U.S.C. 7408(a)(1)). The air quality criteria are to ‘‘accurately reflect the latest scientific knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of all identifiable effects on public health or welfare which may be expected from the presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient air. . . .’’ (42 U.S.C. 7408(a)(2)). Under section 109 of the Act, EPA is then to establish NAAQS for each pollutant for which EPA has issued criteria. Section 109(d)(1) of the Act subsequently requires periodic review and, if appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria to reflect advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of the pollutant on public health or welfare. Under the same provision, EPA is also required to periodically review and, if appropriate, revise the NAAQS, based on the revised air quality criteria (for more information on the NAAQS review process, see https:// www.epa.gov/criteria-air-pollutants/ process-reviewing-national-ambient-airquality-standards). Ozone is one of six criteria pollutants for which EPA has established NAAQS and is the current indicator for related photochemical oxidants. Periodically, EPA reviews the scientific basis for these standards by preparing an ISA (formerly called an Air Quality Criteria Document). The ISA, in conjunction with additional technical and policy assessments, provides the scientific basis for EPA’s reviews of these standards NAAQS. Section 109(d)(2) of the Act requires appointment of an independent scientific review committee that is, among other things, to review at five-year intervals the existing air quality criteria and to recommend any revisions of those criteria as may be appropriate. Since the early 1980s, the requirement for an independent scientific review committee has been fulfilled by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC). On June 26, 2018 (83 FR 13716), EPA formally initiated its current review of the air quality criteria for the health and welfare effects of ozone and related photochemical oxidants and the primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-based) ozone NAAQS, requesting the submission of scientific PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 50837 and policy-relevant information on specified topics. This information was incorporated into EPA’s ‘‘Integrated Review Plan for the Review of the Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (External Review Draft),’’ which was available for public comment (83 FR 24037) and discussion by the CASAC via publicly accessible teleconference consultation (83 FR 24269). The final ‘‘Integrated Review Plan for the Review of the Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards’’ was posted to the EPA website in August 2019 (https:// www.epa.gov/naaqs/ozone-o3-airquality-standards). In the development of the draft ISA, webinar workshops were held on October 29 and 31, 2018, and November 1 and 5, 2018, to discuss initial draft materials with invited EPA and external scientific experts (83 FR 23126). The input received during these webinar workshops aided in the development of the materials presented in the ‘‘Integrated Science Assessment for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants (External Review Draft).’’ The ‘‘Integrated Science Assessment for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants (External Review Draft)’’ will be discussed at a public meeting for review by CASAC. In addition to the public comment period announced in this notice, the public will have an opportunity to address CASAC at this meeting. A separate Federal Register document will inform the public of the exact date and time of the CASAC meeting and of the procedures for public participation. II.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Information About the Document

    Section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to 
identify and list certain air pollutants and to issue air quality 
criteria for those pollutants. The Administrator is to list those 
pollutants ``emissions of which, in his judgment, cause or contribute 
to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public 
health or welfare''; ``the presence of which in the ambient air results 
from numerous or diverse mobile or stationary sources''; and for which 
he ``plans to issue air quality criteria. . . .'' (42 U.S.C. 
7408(a)(1)). The air quality criteria are to ``accurately reflect the 
latest scientific knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of 
all identifiable effects on public health or welfare which may be 
expected from the presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient air. . . .'' 
(42 U.S.C. 7408(a)(2)). Under section 109 of the Act, EPA is then to 
establish NAAQS for each pollutant for which EPA has issued criteria. 
Section 109(d)(1) of the Act subsequently requires periodic review and, 
if appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria to reflect 
advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of the pollutant on 
public health or welfare. Under the same provision, EPA is also 
required to periodically review and, if appropriate, revise the NAAQS, 
based on the revised air quality criteria (for more information on the 
NAAQS review process, see https://www.epa.gov/criteria-air-pollutants/process-reviewing-national-ambient-air-quality-standards).
    Ozone is one of six criteria pollutants for which EPA has 
established NAAQS and is the current indicator for related 
photochemical oxidants. Periodically, EPA reviews the scientific basis 
for these standards by preparing an ISA (formerly called an Air Quality 
Criteria Document). The ISA, in conjunction with additional technical 
and policy assessments, provides the scientific basis for EPA's reviews 
of these standards NAAQS. Section 109(d)(2) of the Act requires 
appointment of an independent scientific review committee that is, 
among other things, to review at five-year intervals the existing air 
quality criteria and to recommend any revisions of those criteria as 
may be appropriate. Since the early 1980s, the requirement for an 
independent scientific review committee has been fulfilled by the Clean 
Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC).
    On June 26, 2018 (83 FR 13716), EPA formally initiated its current 
review of the air quality criteria for the health and welfare effects 
of ozone and related photochemical oxidants and the primary (health-
based) and secondary (welfare-based) ozone NAAQS, requesting the 
submission of scientific and policy-relevant information on specified 
topics. This information was incorporated into EPA's ``Integrated 
Review Plan for the Review of the Ozone National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards (External Review Draft),'' which was available for public 
comment (83 FR 24037) and discussion by the CASAC via publicly 
accessible teleconference consultation (83 FR 24269). The final 
``Integrated Review Plan for the Review of the Ozone National Ambient 
Air Quality Standards'' was posted to the EPA website in August 2019 
(https://www.epa.gov/naaqs/ozone-o3-air-quality-standards).
    In the development of the draft ISA, webinar workshops were held on 
October 29 and 31, 2018, and November 1 and 5, 2018, to discuss initial 
draft materials with invited EPA and external scientific experts (83 FR 
23126). The input received during these webinar workshops aided in the 
development of the materials presented in the ``Integrated Science 
Assessment for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants (External 
Review Draft).''
    The ``Integrated Science Assessment for Ozone and Related 
Photochemical Oxidants (External Review Draft)'' will be discussed at a 
public meeting for review by CASAC. In addition to the public comment 
period announced in this notice, the public will have an opportunity to 
address CASAC at this meeting. A separate Federal Register document 
will inform the public of the exact date and time of the CASAC meeting 
and of the procedures for public participation.
