    Title: NSPS for Automobile and Light Duty Truck Surface Coating 
Operations, (40 CFR part 60, subpart MM).
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for 
automobile and light duty truck surface coating operations were 
proposed on October 5, 1979 and promulgated on December 24, 1980 (45 FR 
85415). These standards apply to 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. Volatile organic compounds 
(VOC) are the pollutants regulated under the standards.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described 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 which may increase the regulated 
pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the initial 
performance test (not required under section 60.393(a)); and the 
results of the initial performance test. Responses to the collection of 
information are mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart MM, Automobile and 
Light Duty Truck Surface Coating Operations). The required information 
has been determined not to be confidential. 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.
    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 745 
(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: Automobile and light duty truck 
surface coating plants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 54.
    Frequency of Response: Initial, Quarterly.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 156,362 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $92,700, which includes $1,700 
annualized capital/startup costs and $91,000 annual O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 10,763 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to more accurate estimates 
of existing and anticipated new sources and the correction of a 
mathematical error in the previous ICR.

    Dated: August 12, 2003.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
