    Title: NESHAP for Metal Can Manufacturing Surface Coating 
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2079.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0541.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2007. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is

[[Page 27306]]

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, and 
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 can 
manufacturing 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.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 91 
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 metal can 
manufacturing surface coating operations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 71.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, Semiannually, On Occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 27,517.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,522,768, which comprises no 
annualized capital costs, $85,200 O&M costs and $2,438,568 in labor 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The number of respondents has decreased 
from the most recently approved ICR due to an improved estimate of the 
number of facilities subject to 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKK. Despite 
this decrease, the number of total annual responses has increased 
slightly due to a revised estimate that considers the semiannual report 
and excess emissions report separately, whereas the previous ICR 
grouped them as one report. There is an increase of 19,702 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. The previous ICR included only the burden 
incurred by facilities initiating activities related to compliance in 
advance of the compliance date. The increase in burden is due to 
routine actions taken by the facilities to comply with 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart KKKK on an ongoing basis.
    The previous ICR shows higher capital/startup and O&M costs than 
this ICR due to installation of monitoring equipment so that the only 
costs incurred are those associated with O&M of the monitoring 
equipment. At this point in time, all of the subject facilities have 
installed the required monitoring equipment.
