    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for (40 CFR 
part 60, subpart QQ) for the Graphic Arts Industry were proposed on 
October 28, 1980; promulgated on November 8, 1982; and most-recently 
amended on April 9, 2004. These regulations apply to each publication 
rotogravure printing press (not including proof presses) commencing 
construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of 
proposal. Owners and operators of graphic arts facilities operating 
publication rotogravure printing presses are required to comply with 
monitoring, reporting, and record keeping requirements for the general 
provisions of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, as well as for the applicable 
specific standards for publication rotogravure printing presses at 40 
CFR part 60, subpart QQ. The requirements under Subpart A include 
submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic 
reports and results, and maintaining 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. The information collection activities required under 
Subpart QQ include testing, monitoring and reporting requirements, 
submitting one-time and periodic reports, and maintaining 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 reports are used by EPA to 
determine compliance with these standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of graphic arts 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart QQ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 22 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 2,060 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $238,000 (per year), which includes $0 in 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an increase in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. The increase in burden from the most recently 
approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of respondents subject 
to the rule from 21 in the previous ICR to 22 in this ICR, which in 
turn increased labor hours. One revision was made to the calculation of 
respondent burden. The labor burden for facilities to familiarize with 
regulation requirements was revised from 1 hour per source per year to 
3 hours per source per year. This change was made in response to 
industry comments that facilities may require outside technical 
consultation and require more than 1 hour to familiarize and re-
familiarize with the rule. No other changes were made to the burden 
estimates as the regulations have not changed over the past three years 
and are not anticipated to change over the next three years.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
