    Title: NESHAP for the Surface Coating of Large Household and 
Commercial Appliances (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1954.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0457.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2006. 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 large appliance 
surface coating operations. Owners or operators of the affected 
facilities described must make initial reports when a source becomes 
subject to the standard, 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 are required, 
in general, of all sources subject to National Emission Standards for 
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). 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 five 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 97 
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 which 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 large 
appliance surface coating operations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 90.
    Frequency of Response: Initial, Semiannually, On Occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 28,845.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,326,984, which includes $64,000 
annualized capital/startup costs, $108,000 annualized O&M costs, and 
$2,154,984 annualized labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 21,108 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. The increase in burden reflects the need for 
facilities to be in compliance with the rule requirements prior to the 
date of this ICR. The increase in O&M costs is due to installation and 
maintenance of equipment used to verify compliance with the rule 
requirements.
