ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-7383-3]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Request for Comments on 
Fourteen Proposed Information Collection Requests (ICRs)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.), this document announces that EPA (the Agency) is planning to 
submit the fourteen continuing Information Collection Requests (ICRs) 
listed in Section A of this notice to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB). Before submitting the ICRs to OMB for review and 
approval, EPA is soliciting comments on specific aspects of the 
information collections as described at the beginning of the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION provided in this notice.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before November 26, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Compliance Assessment and Media Programs Division, Office of 
Compliance, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, Mail Code 
2223A, United States Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460. A hard copy of a specific ICR may be 
obtained without charge by calling the identified information contact 
person listed in Section B under Supplementary Information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For specific information on an 
individual ICR, contact the person listed in Section B under 
Supplementary Information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

For All ICRs

    An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
are displayed in 40 CFR part 9.
    The EPA would like to solicit comments to:
    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary

[[Page 60673]]

for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden 
of the proposed collection of information;
    (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and
    (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who respond through the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or 
other forms of information technology.
    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; 
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.
    In the absence of the information collection requirements in each 
applicable standard, enforcement personnel would be unable to determine 
whether the standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required 
by the Clean Air Act. Consequently, these information collection 
requirements are mandatory, and the records required by New Source 
Performance Standards (NSPS) must be retained by the owner or operator 
for at least two years; records required by the National Emission 
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) must be retained by the 
owner or operator for at least five years; and the records required by 
the NESHAP Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards (NESHAP-
MACT) must be retained by the owner or operator for at least five 
years. In general, the required information consists of emissions data 
and other information deemed not to be private. However, any 
information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of 
confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency 
policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B--
Confidentiality of Business Information (See 40 CFR part 2; 41 FR 
36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 39999, September 8, 1978; 43 
FR 42251, September 28, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 2, 1979).
    The Agency computed the burden for each of the recordkeeping and 
reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the currently 
approved ICRs. Where applicable, the Agency identified specific tasks 
and made assumptions, while being consistent with the concept of the 
Paper Work Reduction Act.

Section C: Summaries of Individual ICRs

    (1) NESHAP Subpart E: NESHAP for Mercury (40 CFR part 61, subpart 
E); EPA ICR Number 0113.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0097; expiration 
date June 30, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
stationary sources that process mercury ore to recover mercury, use 
mercury chlor-alkali cells to produce chlorine gas and alkali metal 
hydroxide, and incinerate or dry wastewater treatment plant sludge.
    Abstract: 40 CFR part 61, subpart E, was proposed on December 7, 
1971, promulgated on April 6, 1973, and amended on October 14, 1975, 
and March 19, 1987. This NESHAP requires initial notifications, 
performance tests, and periodic reports by affected entities. The 
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined in this 
standard are similar to those required for other NESHAP regulations. 
Affected sources must demonstrate compliance with the emission 
standards by monitoring their control devices and performing annual 
emission testing. Affected sources are also required to submit one-time 
notifications of startup; a one-time report on performance test 
results; an initial report specifying the intended methods of 
compliance including a plan-specific monitoring plan, if it applies; 
and a semiannual report that includes a summary of the monitoring 
results. Sources must maintain records of emission test results, sludge 
sampling data, leaks, spills, process/control device parameters, and 
occurrences where the monitoring system is malfunctioning or 
inoperative.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 142 with 24 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 26,504 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported 0.16 times per year and 1,104 hours 
were spent preparing each response. There were no capital/startup costs 
or operation and maintenance costs associated with continuous emission 
monitoring in the previous ICR.
    (2) NSPS Subpart KK: NSPS for Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing (40 
CFR part 60, subpart KK); EPA ICR Number 1072.07; OMB Control Number 
2060-0081; expiration date June 30, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
lead acid battery manufacturing plants with production capacity that is 
equal to or exceeds 6.5 tons of lead having one or more of the 
following operations: grid casting, paste mixing, three-process 
operation, lead-oxide manufacturing, lead reclamation, and other lead-
emitting operations.
    Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subpart KK, was proposed on January 14, 
1980, and promulgated on April 16, 1982. This NSPS requires initial 
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. In addition, 
owners or operators of the subject facilities must 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 a 
monitoring system is inoperative. Specific monitoring requirements 
include information on the operation of the scrubber device and 
compliance with the particulate matter and opacity standards.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 82 with 82 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 123 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported once

[[Page 60675]]

per year, and 1.5 hours were spent preparing each response. There were 
no capital/startup costs associated with the continuous monitoring 
system (CMS) in the previous ICR. However, CMS are used to comply with 
the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of the standard. The 
annual operation and maintenance costs for CMS in the previous ICR were 
estimated to be $18,000. This is based on the assumption that 20 of the 
82 existing sources have CMS for their scrubber systems at an annual 
cost of $900 per source.
    (3) NSPS Subpart L: NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters (40 CFR part 
60, subpart L); EPA ICR Number 1128.07; OMB Control Number 2060-0080; 
expiration date June 30, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
any pot furnace of more than 250 kg charging capacity, blast (cupola) 
furnaces, and reverberatory furnaces in secondary lead smelters.
    Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subpart L, was proposed on June 11, 1973 
and promulgated on March 8, 1974. This NSPS requires initial 
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. In addition, 
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 a 
monitoring system is inoperative.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 23 with 23 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 35 hours. On the average, 
each respondent reported once per year and 1.5 hours were spent 
preparing each response. There were no capital/startup costs or 
operation and maintenance costs associated with the continuous emission 
monitoring in the previous ICR.
    (4) NSPS Subparts T, U, V, W and X: Standards of Performance for 
New Stationary Sources for Phosphate Fertilizer Industry (40 CFR part 
60, subparts T, U, V, W, X); EPA ICR Number 1061.09; OMB Control Number 
2060-0037; expiration date June 30, 2003.
    Abstract: Under 40 CFR part 60, subparts T, U, V, W, X, owners/
operators of phosphate fertilizer plants and phosphate bearing feed 
operations must notify the Agency of construction, modification, 
startups, shutdowns, malfunctions, and dates and results of the initial 
performance test. Owners/operators must also install, calibrate, and 
maintain monitoring devices to continuously measure and record the 
pressure drop across the scrubbers. Recordkeeping includes the 
occurrence and duration of all startups and malfunctions; initial 
performance tests results; amount of phosphate feed material; 
equivalent calculated amounts of phosphorus pentoxide; and pressure 
drops across scrubber systems. Startups, shutdowns and malfunctions 
must be recorded as they occur. Performance test records must contain 
information necessary to determine conditions of performance test and 
performance test measurements. Equivalent phosphorus pentoxide stored 
or amount of feed must be recorded daily. Continuous monitoring systems 
(CMSs) record the pressure drop across scrubbers continuously and 
automatically. Reporting includes initial notifications and performance 
test results.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 11 with 11 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 963 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported once per year and 87.5 hours were 
spent preparing each response. There were no capital/startup costs or 
operation and maintenance costs associated with the continuous emission 
monitoring in the previous ICR.
    (5) NSPS Subparts AA and AAa: NSPS for Steel Plants--Electric Arc 
Furnaces and Argon Oxygen Decarbonization Vessels (40 CFR part 60, 
subparts AA and AAa); EPA ICR Number 1060.11; OMB Control Number 2060-
0038; expiration date June 30, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
electric arc furnaces, argon-oxygen decarburization (AOD) vessels, and 
dust handling systems at steel plants (minimills) that produce carbon, 
alloy, or specialty steels.
    Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subparts AA and AAa, were proposed on 
October 21, 1974 and promulgated on September 23, 1975 respectively. A 
review of Subpart AA in 1980 resulted in the promulgation of a new 
standard (Subpart AAa). Subpart AAa was proposed on August 17, 1983 and 
promulgated on October 31, 1984. On March 2, 1999, the Agency proposed 
a direct final rule to amend Subparts AA and AAa to add alternative 
requirements for monitoring in response to recommendations made by the 
Common Sense Initiative subcommittee on iron and steel. This NSPS 
requires initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic 
reports. In addition, 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.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 90 with 182 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 48,413 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported twice per year and 266 hours were 
spent preparing each response.
    The number of sources in the previous ICR is based on the number of 
the electric arc furnaces constructed prior to the 1974 Subpart AA 
cutoff date. It was also assumed that two additional sources became 
subject to the standard during the three-year ICR approval cycle. In 
the most previously approved ICR, there are continuous monitoring 
system (CMS) capital/startup costs associated with the two new affected 
facilities at a total cost of $27,600. It is assumed that new sources 
will not have to purchase continuous opacity monitors. Also, it is 
estimated that ten percent of the existing sources will have annual 
operation and maintenance costs associated with continuous opacity 
monitors at a cost of $66,750.
    (6) NSPS Subpart OOO: NSPS for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing (40 
CFR part 60, subpart OOO); EPA ICR Number 1084.07; OMB Control Number 
2060-0050; expiration date June 30, 2003.
    Affected Entities: This standard applies to owners or operators of 
new, modified, or reconstructed facilities at nonmetallic mineral 
processing plants that commenced construction, modification, or 
reconstruction after August 1, 1985. Nonmetallic mineral processing 
includes the following: each crusher, grinding mill, screening 
operation, bucket elevator, belt conveyor, bagging operation, storage 
bin, and enclosed truck or railcar loading station. This standard does 
not apply to facilities located in underground mines; stand-alone 
screening operations; operations that only involve recycled asphalt; 
fixed sand gravel, crushed stone plants with capacities of 25 tons per 
hour or less; portable sand, gravel, or crushed stone plants with 
capacities of 150 tons per hour or less; common clay or pumice plants 
with capacities of 10 tons per hour or less. In addition, when an 
existing facility is replaced by a piece of equipment of equal or 
smaller size, it is

[[Page 60676]]

not subject to the standard until all facilities in a production line 
are replaced. Affected facilities in the plant process that are subject 
to 40 CFR part 60, subpart F, for Portland Cement NSPS, or Subpart I, 
Asphalt Concrete Plants NSPS, are not subject to this NSPS.
    Abstract: Respondents subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOO, must 
submit the following one-time-only reports: notification of the date of 
construction or reconstruction, notification of the actual date of 
initial startup, notification of any physical or operational change to 
an existing facility that may increase the regulated pollutant emission 
rate, notification of demonstration of the continuous monitoring system 
(CMS) where the CMS is required (e.g., wet scrubber), notification of 
the date of the initial performance test, and the results of the 
initial performance test. Wet mining/screening operations are exempt 
from all requirements of the regulation, except an initial report and 
record describing the location of these operations. The requirement to 
submit a notification of the anticipated date of initial startup is 
waived for respondents subject to this standard.
    Respondents 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 CMS is 
inoperative. Owners or operators of facilities using a wet scrubber 
must record the measurements of both the change in pressure of the gas 
stream across the scrubber and the scrubbing liquid flow rate and 
submit semiannual reports for exceedances.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 4,305 with 
2,320 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and 
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 31,746 
hours. On the average, each respondent reported 0.5 times per year and 
14 hours were spent preparing each response. There were no capital/
startup costs or operation and maintenance costs associated with 
continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR.
    (7) NSPS Subpart FFF: NSPS for Flexible Vinyl and Urethane Coating 
and Printing (40 CFR part 60, subpart FFF); EPA ICR Number 1157.07; OMB 
Control Number 2060-0073; expiration date June 30, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
owners or operators of rotogravure printing lines used to print or coat 
flexible vinyl or urethane products, and for which construction, 
modification or reconstruction commenced after the date of proposal.
    Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subpart FFF, was proposed on January 18, 
1983, and promulgated on June 29, 1984. This NSPS requires initial 
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. In addition, 
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. Monitoring requirements specific to 
this standard provide information on the operation of emissions control 
devices. Semiannual reports of excess emissions or exceedances of 
standards are also required.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 10 with 21 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 329 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported twice per year and 16 hours were 
spent preparing each response.
    The annual reporting and recordkeeping cost burden for this ICR was 
estimated at $52,000 that includes $7,000 for capital/startup costs, 
and $45,000 for operation and maintenance costs.
    (8) NSPS Subpart TTT: NSPS for the Surface Coating of Plastic Parts 
for Business Machines (40 CFR part 60, subpart TTT); EPA ICR Number 
1093.07; OMB Control Number 2060-0162; expiration date July 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
facilities in industrial surface coating operations that apply coatings 
to plastic parts for use in the manufacture of business machines 
including each spray booth that applies prime coats, color coats, 
texture coats or touch-up coats.
    Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subpart TTT, was proposed on January 8, 
1986 and promulgated on January 29, 1988. This NSPS requires initial 
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. In addition, 
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. The required notifications are used 
to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes 
subject to the standard. Performance test reports are needed to 
demonstrate a source's initial capability to comply with the emission 
standard, and serve as a record of the operating conditions under which 
compliance was achieved. Quarterly and semiannual reports are used for 
problem identification, as a check on source operation, and maintenance 
and for compliance determinations.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 41 with 121 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 3,639 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported three times per year and 30 hours 
were spent preparing each response. There were no capital/startup costs 
or operation and maintenance costs associated with continuous emission 
monitoring in the previous ICR. One additional new source per year is 
expected to become subject to the regulation in the next three years.
    (9) NESHAP-MACT Subpart RRR: NESHAP-MACT for Secondary Aluminum 
Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart RRR); EPA ICR Number 1894.03; OMB 
Control Number 2060-0433; expiration date July 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
owners or operators of existing secondary aluminum production 
facilities. The standard applies to component processes at these 
facilities: aluminum scrap shredders, thermal chip dryers, scrap 
dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating kilns, secondary aluminum 
processing units composed of in-line fluxers and process furnaces 
(including both melting and holding furnaces of various 
configurations), sweat furnaces, dross-only furnaces, and rotary dross 
coolers.
    Abstract: 40 CFR part 63, subpart RRR, was proposed on February 11, 
1999 and promulgated on March 23, 2000. On September 14, 2000, the 
Agency proposed the removal of aluminum foundries and aluminum die 
casting facilities from the secondary aluminum production source 
category. On June 14, 2002, the Agency published amendments to the 
standards to clarify compliance dates and defer certain early 
compliance obligations.
    The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined 
in the standard are similar to those required for other NESHAP 
regulations. Respondents must submit one-time notifications of 
applicability and reports on initial performance test results. Plants 
must develop and implement a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan 
and submit semiannual reports of any event when the plan was not 
followed. Respondents must also

[[Page 60677]]

develop and implement an operation, maintenance, and monitoring plan 
covering each affected source and each emission control device used for 
compliance with the standard. Semiannual reports for periods of 
operation during which the monitoring parameter ranges established 
during the initial compliance test are exceeded, or reports certifying 
that no exceedances have occurred also are required.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 887 with 
2,315 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and 
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 148,031 
hours. On the average, each respondent reported 2.6 times per year and 
64 hours were spent preparing each response.
    The total capital and startup costs annualized over its expected 
useful life are approximately $687,000. The total annualized capital/
startup costs are approximately $535,000, and the total annualized 
operation and maintenance costs are approximately $152,000.
    (10) NSPS Subpart PPP and NESHAP-MACT Subpart NNN: NSPS for Wool 
Fiberglass Insulation Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart 
PPP), and NESHAP-MACT for Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR 
part 63, subpart NNN); EPA ICR Number 1160.07; OMB Control Number 2060-
0114; expiration date July 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by the NSPS 
standard are each rotary spin wool fiberglass insulation manufacturing 
line located at a wool fiberglass insulation manufacturing plant. 
Entities potentially affected by the NESHAP-MACT standard are glass-
melting furnaces, rotary spin manufacturing lines that produce bonded 
building insulation, and flame attenuation manufacturing lines 
producing bonded pipe insulation located at wool fiberglass 
manufacturing plants.
    Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subpart PPP, applies to each rotary spin 
wool fiberglass insulation manufacturing line for which construction, 
modification or reconstruction commenced after February 2, 1984.
    This NSPS requires initial notifications, performance tests, and 
periodic reports. In addition, 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. Owners or 
operators must make the following one-time-only reports: notification 
of the date of construction or reconstruction; notification of the 
anticipated and actual dates of startup; notification of any physical 
or operational change to an existing facility that may increase the 
regulated pollutant emission rate; and the notification of the date of 
the initial performance test. 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.
    Recordkeeping requirements specific to wool fiberglass insulation 
manufacturers include continuous measurements of control device 
operating parameters. When a wet scrubbing control device is used, the 
owner or operator of an affected facility must measure the gas pressure 
drop across each scrubber and the scrubbing liquid flow rate to each 
scrubber no less than once every four hours. Owners or operators who 
comply using a wet electrostatic precipitator control device must 
measure the primary and secondary current and voltage in each 
electrical field and the inlet water flow rate no less than once every 
four hours.
    The reporting requirements for this industry include the initial 
notifications listed, the initial performance test results, and 
semiannual reports of excess emissions.
    The NESHAP-MACT rule requires initial notifications, performance 
tests, and periodic reports. In addition, 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. 40 CFR 63.1386 of the final rule specifies additional 
records to be kept by owners or operators of wool fiberglass 
manufacturing plants including: (1) Bag leak detection system alarm 
activations; (2) electrostatic precipitator (ESP) parameter values; (3) 
air temperature measurements above the molten glass in an uncontrolled 
cold top electric furnace; (4) uncontrolled glass-melting furnace (that 
is not a cold top electric furnace) parameter values used to monitor 
furnace performance; (5) the loss-on-ignition and product density for 
each bonded product manufactured on a rotary spin (RS) or flame 
attenuation (FA) manufacturing line; (6) the free formaldehyde content 
of each resin shipment received and used in binder formulation, and the 
binder formulation of each batch; (7) process parameter levels for RS 
and FA manufacturing lines that use process modifications to comply 
with the emission standards; (8) scrubber pressure drop, scrubbing 
liquid flow rate, and any chemical additives; (9) incinerator operating 
temperatures and results of the periodic inspection of incinerator 
components; and (10) the glass pull rate, including any period when the 
pull rate exceeds the average pull rate established during the 
performance test by more than 20 percent.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 20 with 128 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 19,098 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported 6.4 times per year and 149 hours were 
spent preparing each response.
    The total capital and startup costs annualized over its expected 
useful life are approximately $689,000. The total annualized capital/
startup costs are approximately $485,000, and the total annualized 
operation and maintenance costs are approximately $204,000. It is 
estimated that no additional sources will become subject to the 
standard over the next three years.
    (11) NESHAP-MACT Subpart II: NESHAP for Shipbuilding and Ship 
Repair Facilities--Surface Coating (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart II); EPA 
ICR Number 1712.04; OMB Control Number 2060-0330; expiration date 
August 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
all new and existing shipbuilding and repair facilities that are major 
sources of hazardous air pollutants.
    Abstract: 40 CFR part 63, subpart II, was proposed on December 6, 
1994 and promulgated on December 15, 1995. Owners or operators of 
shipbuilding and ship repair facilities to which this regulation is 
applicable must choose one of the four compliance options described in 
the final rule or install and monitor a specific control system to 
control coating emissions and reduce Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) 
emissions to the compliance level. This NESHAP requires initial 
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. In addition, 
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. Also, respondents are required to 
submit with the initial notification an implementation plan that 
describes the coating compliance procedures; recordkeeping procedures; 
and transfer, handling, and storage procedures that the source intends 
to

[[Page 60678]]

use. Respondents choosing any of the four compliance options described 
in the final rule must record the following: the total volume of 
coating applied at the source to ships; the volume of each low-usage-
exempt coating applied; the identities of the coatings used, the 
appropriate coating categories, and applicable volatile organic 
hazardous air pollutant limit; the content certifications for each 
batch of coating; a determination of whether containers meet the 
standards; and the results of any Method 24 or approved test conducted 
on individual containers of coating, as applied.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 45 with 45 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 22,149 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported once per year and 492 hours were 
spent preparing each response. There were no capital/startup costs or 
operation and maintenance costs associated with continuous emission 
monitoring in the previous ICR. One additional new source per year is 
expected to become subject to the regulation over the next three years.
    (12) NESHAP-MACT Subpart KK: NESHAP for the Printing and Publishing 
Industry (40 CFR part 63, subpart KK); EPA ICR 1739.04; OMB Control 
Number 2060-0335; expiration date September 30, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
owners or operators of publication rotogravure, product and packaging 
rotogravure, and wide-web flexographic printing presses at major 
sources, existing or commencing construction or reconstruction after 
the effective date of this Subpart.
    Abstract: 40 CFR part 63, subpart KK, was proposed on March 14, 
1995 (60 FR 13664) and promulgated on May 30, 1996 (61 FR 27131). This 
NESHAP requires initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic 
reports. In addition, 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. Monitoring 
requirements specific to this standard provide information on the 
operation of the emissions control device and compliance with the 
opacity limit.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 135 with 273 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 52,495 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported twice per year and 192 hours were 
spent preparing each response.
    The total capital and startup costs annualized over its expected 
useful life are approximately $403,000. The total annualized capital/
startup costs are approximately $7,000, and the total annualized 
operation and maintenance costs are approximately $396,000. It is 
estimated that one source per year will become subject to the standard 
over the next three years.
    (13) NESHAP-MACT Subpart M: NESHAP for Perchloroethylene Dry 
Cleaning Facilities (40 CFR part 63, subpart M); OMB Control Number 
2060-0234; EPA ICR Number 1415.05; expiration date September 30, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
those owners or operators of dry cleaning facilities using 
perchloroethylene (PCE) as a solvent.
    Abstract: Sources subject to 40 CFR part 63, subpart M must submit 
certain records and reports to enable the Agency to identify facilities 
that may not be in compliance with the standard. Monitoring is 
conducted on a weekly basis to ensure that the emission control devices 
are being properly operated and maintained on a continuous basis to 
reduce vented PCE emissions, and leak detection and repair are 
conducted on a weekly basis to reduce fugitive PCE emissions. The 
required records indicate whether the facilities are operating and 
maintaining equipment properly to control vented emissions, and whether 
transfer emissions and other fugitive emissions are being properly 
controlled. To minimize the burden, much of the information that the 
Agency requires is recorded and retained on-site at the facility. Such 
information is reviewed by enforcement personnel during inspections and 
does not need to be routinely reported to the Agency. Records that must 
be maintained include the solvent purchased each month, yearly PCE 
consumption, weekly or biweekly inspections, dates of repair or 
purchase orders, monitoring and initial report requirements. In 
addition, sources must report on facility status change to a major 
source and exceedances of the low solvent consumption exemption level.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 25,090 with 
5,270 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and 
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 1,212,129 
hours. On the average, each respondent reported 0.21 times per year and 
230 hours were spent preparing each response.
    The total capital and startup costs annualized over its expected 
useful life are approximately $47,000. The total annualized capital/
startup costs are zero, and the total annualized operation and 
maintenance costs are approximately $47,000.
    (14) NSPS Subpart MM: NSPS for Automobile and Light Duty Truck 
Surface Coating Operations (40 CFR part 60, subpart MM); EPA ICR Number 
1064.10; OMB Control Number 2060-0034; expiration date September 30, 
2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
the following automobile and light duty truck assembly plant lines: 
each prime coat operation, guide coat operation, and top coat operation 
commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after October 
5, 1979.
    Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subpart MM, was proposed on October 5, 
1979 and promulgated on December 24, 1980 (45 FR 85415). This NSPS 
requires initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic 
reports. In addition, 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.
    The control of emissions from automobile and light duty truck 
coating operations requires not only the installation of properly 
designed equipment, but also the operation and maintenance of that 
equipment. The required notifications are used to inform the Agency or 
delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the standard. 
Performance test reports are needed as these are the Agency's records 
of a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard, 
and serve as a record of the operating conditions under which 
compliance was achieved. When thermal or catalytic incineration is 
performed, the owner or operator shall keep records of each three-hour 
period during which the incinerator temperature averaged more than 28 
degrees centigrade below the temperature of the most recent performance 
test, and when the average temperature difference across the catalyst 
bed is less than 80% of the average temperature difference recorded 
during the most recent performance test. The semiannual reports are 
used for problem identification, as a check on

[[Page 60679]]

source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 45 with 171 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 145,599 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported 3.8 times per year and 851 hours were 
spent preparing each response.
    The total capital and startup costs annualized are approximately 
$7,000, the total annualized capital/startup costs are $2,000 and the 
total annualized operation and maintenance costs are approximately 
$5,000.
