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 NO X 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.
