    Title: NSPS for Flexible Vinyl and Urethane Coating and Printing 
(40 CFR part 60, subpart FFF), OMB Control Number 2060-0073, EPA ICR 
Number 1157.07. This is a request to renew an existing, approved 
collection that is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2003. Under OMB 
regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The NSPS for Flexible Vinyl and Urethane Coating and 
Printing, published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart FFF, were proposed on 
January 18, 1983, and promulgated on June 29, 1984. 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 continuous monitoring system (CMS) there are performance 
tests, and maintenance reports. Excess emissions reports are submitted 
semiannually. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory 
(40 CFR part 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, 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 are estimated to average 14 
(rounded) 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: Flexible Vinyl and Urethane Coating 
and Printing Manufacturers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 20.
    Frequency of Response: Semiannually, initially.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 593.
    Estimated Total Capital and Operations & Maintenance (O & M) Annual 
Costs: $61,000.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 78 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase in burden from the most recently 
approved ICR is due to more accurate estimates of existing sources. We 
have assumed that there will be one new source (respondent) over the 
three years period of this ICR. The change in respondent cost is also 
due to a labor rate change where the rate has increased over the three 
years period of this ICR.

    Dated: June 24, 2003.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
