Finishing Sources (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), ``NESHAP for Nine Metal 
Fabrication and Finishing Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart XXXXXX) 
(Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 2298.04, OMB Control No. 2060-0622), to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 
This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved

the Federal Register (79 FR 30117) on May 27, 2014 during a 60-day 
comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public 
comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its 
estimated burden and cost to the public. An Agency may neither conduct 
nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection 
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before July 30, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OECA-2014-0098, to: (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our

    Abstract: The regulation applies to nine metal fabrication and 
finishing area source categories: (1) Electrical and Electronic 
Equipment Finishing Operations; (2) Fabricated Metal Products; (3) 
Fabricated Plate Work (Boiler Shops); (4) Fabricated Structural Metal 
Manufacturing; (5) Heating Equipment, except Electric; (6) Industrial 
Machinery and Equipment Finishing Operations; (7) Iron and Steel 
Forging; (8) Primary Metal Products Manufacturing; and (9) Valves and 
Pipe Fittings. The final rule establishes emission standards in the 
form of management practices and equipment standards for new and 
existing operations of dry abrasive blasting, machining, dry grinding 
and dry polishing with machines, spray painting and other spray 
coating, and welding operations. These standards reflect EPA's 
determination regarding the generally achievable control technology 
and/or management practices for the nine area source categories.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of facilities 
in the nine metal fabrication and finishing source categories.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart XXXXXX).
    Estimated number of respondents: 5,800 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 35,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $3,600,000 (per year), which includes $0 for 
both annualized capital and operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. The previous ICR incorrectly carried over burdens and 
costs from initial activities and divided the total number of 
respondents by three. This ICR is corrected to reflect the annual, on-
going burden and costs for existing facilities. In addition, the use of 
more updated labor rates results in an increase in total labor costs. 
The overall result is an increase in burden hours and costs.
