SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), ``NSPS for Surface Coating of 
Large Appliances (40 CFR part 60, subpart SS)'' (EPA ICR No. 0659.13, 
OMB Control No. 2060-0108), to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This is a proposed extension of 
the ICR, which is currently approved through December 31, 2015. Public 
comments were previously requested via the Federal Register (80 FR 
32116) on June 5, 2015 during a 60-day comment period. This notice

and cost to the public. An Agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and 
a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NSPS (40 CFR part 60, subpart A) and any changes, or 
additions, to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart SS. 
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial 
notification reports, 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.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Existing and new large appliance 
coating facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart SS).
    Estimated number of respondents: 72 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 7,740 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $787,000 (per year), which includes $8,400 in 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a small increase in the total 
estimated respondent burden and cost compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase is due to assuming that all existing 
respondents will need to spend some time reviewing the rule requirement 
each year to re-familiarize themselves with it. In previous ICRs, it 
was assumed that only new respondents would need to read and review the 
rule requirement. In addition, a portion of the increase in burden cost 
is due to using updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor 
Statistics.
