section 183(e)(3), the EPA published a list of consumer and commercial products and a schedule for their regulation (60 FR 15264). Architectural and industrial maintenance coatings were included on the list, and the standards for such coatings are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart D. The information collection includes initial reports and periodic recordkeeping necessary for the EPA to ensure compliance with Federal standards for volatile organic compounds in architectural coatings. Respondents are manufacturers, distributors, and importers of architectural coatings. Responses to the collection are mandatory under 40 CFR part 59, subpart D—National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Architectural Coatings. All information submitted to the EPA for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the agency policies set forth in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B— Confidentiality of Business Information.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 29 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 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: Manufacturers and importers of architectural coatings.

Estimated Number of Respondents:
500.

Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 14,661.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,261,526, there are no annualized capital or O&M costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 1,980 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is a result of fewer tonnage exemptions and exceedance fees reports.

• Explain why you agree or disagree, suggest alternatives, and substitute language for your requested changes.

• Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/ or data that you used.

• If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be reproduced.

• Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and suggest alternatives.

• Explain your views as clearly as possible.

• Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Re-Opening of the Public Comment Period for the Final 2010 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan (‘‘Final 2010 Plan’’) and the 2011 Effluent Guidelines Reviews

On October 26, 2011 (76 FR 66286), EPA published its final 2010 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan (‘‘final 2010 Plan’’), which, as required under the Clean Water Act (CWA), identified new or existing industrial dischargers, both those discharging directly to surface waters and those discharging to publicly owned treatment works (POTWs), selected for effluent guidelines rulemaking, and provided a schedule for such rulemakings. The Agency solicited comments from the public on the final Plan for 30 days (to have been submitted on or before November 25, 2011). The notice also solicited data and information (during the same 30-day period) for EPA’s 2011 Effluent Guidelines Reviews pursuant to the authority of CWA sections 304(b), 304(g), 301(d) and 307(b).

The Agency received several requests for additional time to submit comments. In response, EPA is re-opening the public comment period and will accept additional public comments on its final 2010 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan, which announced schedules to develop standards for wastewater discharges produced by natural gas extraction from underground coalbed and shale formations as well as mercury discharges from dental offices. EPA is also accepting additional data and information for its 2011 Effluent Guidelines Program Reviews, which were announced as a part of the 2010 Plan released in October. For more information visit http://water.epa.gov/ lawsregs/lawsguidance/cwa/304m/ index.cfm. EPA believes that this additional 60-day comment period will assist in providing interested stakeholders, as well as other members of the public, adequate time to review the documents and provide written
comments.
