What Information Particularly Interests 

EPA? 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

to: 

(i) evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the Information will have 

practical utility; 

(ii) evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(iv) minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection.

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified

To What Information Collection 

Activity or ICR Does This Apply? 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2003–

0120. 

Affected Entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action as respondents 

are manufacturers and importers of 

automobile refinish coatings and coating 

components. Manufacturers of 

automobile refinish coatings and coating 

components fall within standard 

industrial classification (SIC) 2851, 

‘‘Paints, Varnishes, Lacquers, Enamels, 

and Allied Products’’ and North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) code 325510, ‘‘Paint 

and Coating Manufacturing.’’ Importers 

of automobile refinish coatings and 

coating components fall within SIC 

5198, ‘‘Wholesale Trade: Paints, 

Varnishes, and Supplies,’’ NAICS code 

422950, ‘‘Paint, Varnish and Supplies 

Wholesalers,’’ and NAICS code 444120, 

‘‘Paint and Wallpaper Stores.’’

Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping 

Requirements for National Volatile 

Organic Compound Emission Standards 

for Automobile Refinish Coatings (40 

CFR part 59). 

ICR number: EPA ICR Number 

1765.04, OMB Control Number 2060–

0353. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on March 31, 2007. 

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, are 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. Under OMB regulations, the 

Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor the collection of information 

while this submission is pending at 

OMB. 

Abstract: The EPA is required under 

section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act to 

regulate volatile organic compound 

emissions from the use of consumer and 

commercial products. Pursuant to 

section 183(e)(3), the EPA published a 

list of consumer and commercial 

products and a schedule for their 

regulation (60 FR 15264). Automobile 

refinish coatings were included on the 

list, and the standards for such coatings 

are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart 

B. The reports required under the 

standards enable EPA to identify all 

coating and coating component 

manufacturers and importers in the 

United States and to determine which 

coatings and coating components are 

subject to the standards, based on dates 

of manufacture. 

EPA provided notice and sought 

comments on the previous ICR renewal 

on July 8, 2003 (68 FR 40654), pursuant 

to 5 CFR 1320.8(d). The EPA received 

no comments to that notice. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 4 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 included 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; 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 4. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: One or 

less per year. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

14. 

Estimated total annual costs: $940. 

This includes an estimated burden cost 

of $0 and an estimated cost of $0 for 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Are There Changes in the Estimates 

From the Last Approval? 

There are no changes being made to 

the estimates in this ICR from what EPA 

estimated in the earlier renewal (2003) 

of this ICR. 

What Is the Next Step in the Process for 

This ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. 

If you have any questions about this 

ICR or the approval process, please 

contact the technical person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
