Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart II apply to the shipbuilding and ship repair industry which consists of establishments that build, repair, repaint, convert and alter ships which are either marine or fresh-water vessels used for military and/or commercial operations. These regulations apply to only the shipbuilding and repair surface coating operations that occur at facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). New facilities include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart II. 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Shipbuilding and ship repair facilities. Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart II). Estimated number of respondents: 56 (total). Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 28,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $3,390,000 (per year), which includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is no change in hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Second, the growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Information Engagement Division.
