    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the 
regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart TT were proposed on 
January 5, 1981, promulgated on November 1, 1982, and most recently 
amended on October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to existing and 
new metal coil surface coating facilities with the following surface 
coating lines: each prime coat operation; each finish coat operation; 
and each prime and finish coat operation cured simultaneously, where 
the finish coat is applied wet-on-wet over the prime coat. New 
facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or 
reconstruction after the date of proposal.

This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR 
part 60, subpart TT.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Metal coil surface coating 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart TT).
    Estimated number of respondents: 158 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, occasionally, 
semiannually, and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 16,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,200,000 (per year), which includes 
$151,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. 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 this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no 
significant change in the overall burden. Although there are no changes 
in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry 
growth, there is a decrease in the operation and maintenance (O&M) 
costs due to a calculation correction to the number of respondents 
using temperature monitoring systems.
