    Title: NESHAP for Metal Furniture Surface Coating (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1952.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0518.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2009. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Metal Furniture Surface Coating (40 CFR part 
63, subpart RRRR) were proposed on April 24, 2002, and promulgated on 
May 23, 2003. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new 
facilities that perform metal furniture surface coating operations 
where the total Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) emitted are greater 
than or equal to 10 tons per year of any one HAP; or where the total 
HAPs emitted are greater than or equal to 25 tons per year of any 
combination of HAPs.
    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 (SSM) 
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.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 109 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and

[[Page 40581]]

maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train 
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search 
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and 
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Metal furniture surface coating 
facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 583.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 190,408.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $16,826,397, including $16,126,797 in 
annual labor costs, $699,600 in O&M costs, and no annualized capital/
start-up costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a change of $400 less for the 
total estimated Operations and Maintenance (O&M) burden currently 
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.

    Dated: August 6, 2009.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
