    Title: NESHAP for Automobile and Light-duty Truck Surface Coating 
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2045.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0550.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2007. 
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, 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 automobile and 
light-duty truck 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 automobile 
and light-duty truck surface coating operations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 65.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, Semiannually, and On Occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 25,190.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,321,787, which includes $0 
annualized Capital Startup costs, $78,000 annualized Operating and 
Maintenance (O&M) costs, and $2,243,787 annualized Labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease of 8,247 
hours in the total estimated burden and an increase in burden cost of 
$71,000 as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved 
Burdens. These adjustments are not due to any program changes. The 
changes in the burden and cost estimates have occurred because the 
standard has been in effect for more than three years and the 
requirements are different during initial compliance (new facilities) 
as compared to on-going compliance (existing facilities). The previous 
ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial 
compliance activities for subject facilities. Such activities include 
purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting performance tests and 
establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR reflects the on-going 
burden for existing facilities. Activities for existing sources include 
continuously monitoring of pollutants and the submission of semiannual 
reports. The overall result is a decrease in burden hours, and an 
increase in burden cost.
