*Abstract:*                     The EPA is required under section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act to regulate volatile organic compound (VOC) 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). Architectural coatings are 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 VOC in architectural coatings. Respondents are manufacturers or importers that produce, package, or repackage 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.                

*Form Numbers:*                     None.                

*Respondents/affected entities:*                     Manufacturers or importers that produce, package, or repackage architectural coatings for sale or distribution in the United States, including the District of Columbia and all United States territories.                

*Respondent's obligation to respond:*                     Mandatory under 40 CFR part 59, subpart D.                

*Estimated number of respondents:*                     500 (total).                

*Frequency of response:*                     On occasion.                

*Total estimated burden:*                     14,661 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).                

*Total estimated cost:*                     $1,261,526 per year. There are no 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.
