Title: NSPS for Surface Coating of 

Large Appliances (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

0659.12, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0108. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on December 31, 2012. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to either conduct or sponsor 

the collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 

Abstract 

The affected entities are subject to the 

General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 

CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, 

or additions to the Provisions specified 

at 40 CFR part 60, subpart SS. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must make an initial 

notification, performance tests, periodic 

reports, and 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. Reports are also 

required semiannually. 

Burden Statement 

The annual public reporting and 

recordkeeping burden for this collection 

of information is estimated to average 27 

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: 

Facilities that conduct surface coating 

operations for large appliances. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

72. 

Frequency of Response: Occasionally 

and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

7,659. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$750,011, which includes $741,611 in 

labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and 

$8,400 in operation and maintenance 

(O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor hours in this ICR 

compared to the previous ICR. 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 the industry is 

very low, negative or non-existent, so 

there is no significant change in the 

overall burden. However, there is an 

adjustment increase in burden costs for 

both the respondents and the Agency. 

The cost increase is due to an 

adjustment in labor rates. This ICR uses 

updated labor rates from the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics to calculate burden 

costs. 

Additionally, there is an increase in 

the total number of annual responses 

due to a mathematical correction made 

in the previous ICR.

Abstract: The Acid Rain Program was 

established under Title IV of the 1990 

Clean Air Act Amendments. The 

program calls for major reductions of 

the pollutants that cause acid rain while 

establishing a new approach to 

environmental management. This 

information collection is necessary to 

implement the Acid Rain Program. It 

includes burden hours associated with 

developing and modifying permits, 

transferring allowances, obtaining 

allowances from the conservation and 

renewable energy reserve, monitoring 

emissions, participating in the annual 

auctions, completing annual compliance 

certifications, participating in the Opt-in 

program, and complying with NOX

permitting requirements. 

Form Numbers: 7610–1, 7610–5, 

7610–6, 7610–7A, 7610–8, 7610–11, 

7610–16, 7610–19, 7610–20, 7610–26, 

7610–27, 7610–28, 7610–29, 7620–4, 

7620–8, 7620–9, 7620–10, and 5900– 

172. 

Respondents/affected entities: Electric 

utilities, Industrial sources, and other 

persons. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory and voluntary under 

provisions of Title IV of the Clean Air 

Act Amendments that cover: 

• Allowance tracking and transfers 

(section 403); 

• Permits (section 408); 

• Emissions monitoring (section 412); 

• Auctions (section 416); 

• Opt-in (section 410 a–g); and 

• NOX permitting (section 407). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1700. 

Frequency of response: On occasion, 

quarterly, and annually. 

Total estimated burden: 2,123,405 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $302,368,573.05 

(per year), includes $152,015,161 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 66,459 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. Most of the change in burden for 

this collection is due to adjustments. 

Adjustments stem from actions outside 

the Agency’s control. Adjustments 

include changes to the number of 

responses and the time it takes to 

respond to a particular activity. Some 

new estimates for the number of 

responses are based on queries of EPA 

databases for activities reported in 

recent years. In addition to adjustments, 

a portion of the overall increase is due 

to the incorporation of ARP affection 

portion of the Protocol Gas Verification 

Program and Air Emissions Protocol 

Testing Body ICR requirements from the 

EPA ICR Number 2203.04, OMB Control 

Number 2060–0626.
