    Title: NSPS for Beverage Can Surface Coating (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0663.11, OMB Control Number 2060-0001.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either conduct or 
sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending 
at OMB.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or 
additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart WW. 
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial 
notification, performance tests, periodic reports, and maintain records 
of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction 
in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which 
the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports are also required 
semiannually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 43 
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 beverage can 
surface coating facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 48.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 5,134.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $597,892, which includes $497,092 in 
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $100,800 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in 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.
