    Title: NSPS for Metal Furniture Coating (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0649.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0106.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2009. 
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 metal furniture 
surface coating facilities. These standards apply to each metal 
furniture surface coating operation in which organic coatings are 
applied (greater than 3,842 liters of coating per year), commencing 
construction, modification or reconstruction after November 28, 1980. 
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are the pollutants regulated under 
this subpart.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make 
initial reports when a source becomes subject to the standards, 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 New Source Performance Standards (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 
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 58 
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 
furniture surface coating facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 400.
    Frequency of Response: Semiannually, on Occasion, initially.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 56,074.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $5,589,248, which includes $4,749,248 
in labor costs, $840,000 in annualized O&M costs, and no capital/
startup costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the burden hours or 
cost to the respondents in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This 
is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over 
the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next 
three years; and (2) the growth rate for the respondents is very low, 
negative or nonexistent. Therefore, the labor hours and cost figures in 
the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the respondents and are 
reiterated in this ICR.
