    Title: NSPS for Pressure Sensitive Tape and Label Surface Coating 
(40 CFR part 60, subpart RR) (OMB Control No. 2060-0004, EPA ICR Number 
0658.08). This is a request of an existing approved collection expiring 
January 31, 2003. Under the OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to 
conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission 
is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Pressure 
Sensitive Tape and Label Surface Coating, published at 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart RR were proposed on December 30, 1980, and promulgated on 
October 18, 1983. These regulations apply to each coating line used in 
the manufacture of pressure sensitive tape and label materials, and on 
which construction or reconstruction commenced after December 30, 1980. 
This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR 
part 60, subpart RR. Facilities that input 45 Mg of volatile organic 
compounds (VOC) or less per 12 month period are not subject to the 
emission limit established by the subpart. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart RR.
    Owners and operators of the affected facilities must make the 
following one-time-only reports: notification of the date of 
construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and 
actual dates of initial startup; notification of any physical change to 
an existing facility that may increase the regulated pollutant emission 
rate; notification of initial performance test and the results 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, or 
any period during which the monitoring

[[Page 5636]]

system is inoperative. The recordkeeping requirements consist of the 
occurrence and duration of any start up and malfunctions as described. 
They include the initial performance test results including information 
necessary to determine conditions of the performance test; performance 
test measurements and results including, for affected facilities 
complying with the standard without the use of add-on controls, a 
weighted average of the mass of solvent used per mass of coating solids 
applied; the weighted average mass of VOC per mass of coating solids 
applied at facilities controlled by a solvent recovery device; the 
weighted average mass of VOC per mass of coating solids applied being 
used at a facility controlled by a solvent destruction device; and the 
results of the monthly performance and records of operating parameters.
    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, and are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 35 
hours per response. 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners/Operators of coating lines 
used in the manufacture of pressure sensitive tape and label materials.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 37.
    Frequency of Response: Semiannual for all, every other year for 
excess emission report.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,179 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Labor Cost: $71,800.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 35,925 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is the result of a search of the 
Agency's AFS database which identified a significantly lower number of 
respondents than was used in previous ICR burden estimates.

    Dated: January 28, 2003.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
