    Title: NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1957.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0487.
    ICR Status: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants were proposed 
on July 18, 2000, promulgated on June 10, 2002, and amended on March 
17, 2003. These standards apply to each facility operating a coil 
coating line and that is a major source of hazardous air pollutants 
(HAPs). This coil coating line is a process and the collection of 
equipment used to apply an organic coating to the surface of a metal 
coil that is less than 0.15 millimeters (0.006 inches) thick.
    Abstract: Owners or operators must submit notification reports upon 
construction or reconstruction of any metal coil surface coating plant. 
Semiannual reports for periods of operation during which the emission 
limitation has exceeded, or reports certifying that no exceedances have 
occurred, also are required. Owners and operators must submit 
notification reports upon the construction, reconstruction, or 
modification of any metal coil surface coating plant. Also, required is 
a one-time-only initial notification for new and reconstructed sources. 
Owners or operators of metal coil surface coating plants subject to the 
rule must 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. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart SSSS, as 
authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required 
information consists of emissions data and other information that have 
been determined to be private.
    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 Number for EPA's 
regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information estimated to average 119 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose and 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. All 
existing ways will have to adjust 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: Metal coil surface coating plants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 89.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, weekly, annually, semiannually, 
and occasionally.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 19,901.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,618,874, which includes $1,615,226 
in labor costs, $0 in capital/startup costs, and $3,648 in operation 
and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours 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 industry is very low, negative 
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall 
burden. However, there is an increase in the total labor and Agency 
costs as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. 
This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in cost 
estimates reflects updated labors rates available from the Bureau of 
Labor Statistics.
