    Title: NSPS for Polymeric Coating of Supporting Substrates 
Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart VVV) (Renewal).
    Abstract: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) subpart VVV 
applies to each coating operation and any onsite mix preparation 
equipment used to prepare coating for the polymeric coating of 
supporting substrates, that commences construction, modification or 
reconstruction after April 30, 1987. The rule establishes standards for 
volatile organic compound (VOC) use, emission reduction limits, and for 
capture and recovery of VOC emissions. The monitoring and recordkeeping 
requirements include: maintain records of startups, shutdowns, 
malfunctions, periods where the continuous monitoring system is 
inoperative 60.7(b), and of all measurements including performance test 
measurements, operating parameters of monitoring device results for 
catalytic or thermal incinerator, carbon adsorption system, 
condensation system, vapor capture system and/or total enclosure 
60.744(c-h); and monitor actual 12-month volatile organic compounds 
(VOC) use and make semiannual estimate of projected VOC use, if 
affected facility uses less than 95 Mg/year of VOC or is subject to 
provisions specified in Sec.  60.742(c)(3) and other information 
required by this part recorded in a file suitable for inspection. The 
recordkeeping, monitoring and reporting requirements allow the 
regulatory agencies to determine compliance with the standard. One-time 
reports are required to identify the affected facilities and the 
compliance method used. Semiannual reports of compliance and quarterly 
reports of monitoring exceedances and periods of noncompliance are used 
to verify compliance. Annual reports of when an affected facility first 
exceeds a projected VOC use limit or the 12-month actual VOC limit are 
used to determine the applicable requirements. Since none of the 
required reports to the Agency have been deemed confidential business 
information, they will not be treated as such. Responses are mandatory 
(40 CFR part 60, subpart VVV).
    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. The 
recordkeeping, notification and reporting requirements of the standard 
are critically important as they allow the Agency to determine to which 
facilities the standards apply and they enable the Agency to monitor 
initial and ongoing compliance with the standards. As much as possible, 
in order to reduce the burden, the compliance monitoring and 
recordkeeping requirements are designed to cover parameters that are 
already being monitored as part of the manufacturing process.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 83 
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 or operators of facilities 
performing polymeric coating of supporting substrates.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 53.
    Frequency of Response: Initial, on occasion, quarterly, 
semiannually, monthly, annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 12,623 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $1,410,367, which includes $48,500 
annualized capital/startup costs, $556,500 annual O&M costs, and 
$805,367 annual labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 1,743 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a reduction in the 
estimate of shutdowns and malfunctions occurring annually, a correction 
in the number of reported respondents, and a recalculation of burden 
resulting from reporting activities.

    Dated: January 25, 2005.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
