SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: NSPS Subpart FFF, New Source Performance Standards for 
Flexible Vinyl and Urethane Coating and Printing (OMB Control No. 2060-
0073 ; EPA ICR No.1157.06) expiring 06/30/00. This is a request for 
extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Flexible 
Vinyl and Urethane Coating and Printing were promulgated on June 29, 
1984 (49 FR 26892).The effective date was January 18, 1983.
    These standards of performance for this category of new stationary 
sources of hazardous air pollutants are required by Section 111 of the 
Clean Air Act. Facilities may meet the standards by using materials 
with a low concentration of Volatile Organic compounds (VOCs), or by 
installing emission control devices. The information that is required 
to be submitted to the Agency or kept at the facility is needed to 
insure compliance with the regulation. These include initial one time 
notifications, performance tests plans and reports and records of 
maintenance and shutdown, startup, and malfunctions. For facilities 
that install CMS there are performance tests, and maintenance reports. 
Excess emissions reports are submitted semiannually. Responses to the 
collection of information are mandatory (NSPS 60 Subpart FFF).
    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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The 
Federal Register document required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting 
comments on this collection of information was published on 10/29/99 
(64 FR 58396 ); no comments were received.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is

time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate,

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; 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

lines: print/coat flexible vinyl/urethance products.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.
    Frequency of Response: one time notifications, semiannual reports, 
and monthly recordkeeping.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 329.
