Abstract: Owners and operators of metal furniture surface coating facilities 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 specific standards in 40 CFR part 63 subpart RRRR. This includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and results, maintaining records of materials usage, and any period during which the addon control system is inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards. Form Numbers: 5900–0528. Respondents/affected entities: Existing and new facilities that perform metal furniture surface coating operations. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart RRRR). Estimated number of respondents: 16 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually. Total estimated burden: 4,270 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $505,000 (per year), which includes $0 for annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This ICR incorporates the requirements from the March 2019 and November 2020 rules. The decrease is due to two considerations. Since a previous ICR renewal, 1952.06, was published in 2016, sources have changed their coating practices to use non-HAP coatings, resulting in a decrease in the number of respondents. The data gathered during the recent rulemaking indicates that there are no sources using add-on controls, resulting in a decrease in O&M costs. There is no growth in this industry, therefore there is no annualized capital/startup cost. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.
