    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface 
Coating at Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHH) are part of 
the EPA Integrated Urban Strategy to reduce cancer risk from area 
sources under Section 112(k)(3)(C) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). These 
standards apply to existing and new sources that conduct paint 
stripping operations using methylene chloride (MeCl)-containing paint 
strippers, motor vehicle and mobile equipment surface coating 
operations, and miscellaneous surface coating operations located at 
area sources. New facilities include those that commenced construction, 
modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, 
all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, 
and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected 
facilities. They are also required to 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. These notifications, reports, and 
records are essential in determining compliance with This information 
is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
HHHHHH.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Paint stripping and miscellaneous 
surface coating operations.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart HHHHHH).
    Estimated number of respondents: 39,812 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 169,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $18,500,000 (per year), which includes 
$117,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to a 
change in assumption: This ICR assumes all existing sources will take 
time to re-familiarize with the regulations each year.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
