    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Surface 
Coating of Large Appliances apply to large appliance coating 
facilities. In general, all NSPS 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 40 CFR part 60, subpart SS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Large appliance surface coating 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart SS).
    Estimated number of respondents: 72 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 7,220 (per year). Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $830,000 (per year), includes $8,400 in 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
total estimated burden as compared to the previous ICR due to an 
adjustment to the number of respondents expected to submit excess 
emissions and monitoring systems performance reports from 100 percent 
of respondents to 20 percent of respondents. The prior ICR included an 
assumption that all respondents would experience an exceedance; based 
on Agency knowledge and experience with the NSPS, 20 percent is more 
likely representative of the actual number of respondents submitting 
these reports. These changes resulted in an overall decrease in the 
labor costs.
