    Title: NSPS for Metal Coil Surface Coating (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0660.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0107.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2005. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
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 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Respondents are owners or operators of metal coil surface 
coating facilities. The standards apply to each metal coil surface 
coating operation in which organic coatings are applied that commenced 
construction, modification or reconstruction after January 5, 1981. 
Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make 
initial reports when a source becomes subject, conduct and report on a 
performance test, demonstrate and report on continuous monitor 
performance, and maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected 
facility. Semiannual reports of excess emissions are required. These 
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining 
compliance, and in general, are required of all sources subject to New 
Source Performance Standard (NSPS).
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least 
two years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, 
and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local 
authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the 
reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office.
    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 in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 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 41 
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 that have subsequently changed; 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 metal coil 
surface coating facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 158.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, semiannually, on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 15,643.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,594,680, which includes $0 annual 
capital/startup costs, $331,800 annualized O&M costs, and $1,262,880 
annual labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 1,112 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to an expansion of the 
calculations to include managerial and clerical labor rates. The 
increase in O&M costs is due to an increase in equipment maintenance 
costs.
