Agency Information Collection

Activities Under OMB Review; New

Source Performance Standards for the

Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for

Business Machines

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this notice announces that

the Information Collection Request

(ICR): has been forwarded to the Office

of Management and Budget (OMB) for

review and approval: Standards of

Performance for Surface Coating of

Plastic Parts for Business Machines

(NSPS Subpart TTT), OMB Control

Number 2060–0162, expiration date:

4/30/97. The ICR describes the nature of

the information collection and its

expected burden and cost; where

appropriate, it includes the actual data

collection instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before May 12, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY

CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260–

2740, and refer to EPA ICR No. 1093.05.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Standards of Performance for

the Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for

Business Machines (OMB Control No.

2060–0162; EPA ICR No. 1093.05),

expiring 4/30/97. This is a request for an

extension of a currently approved ICR.

Abstract: Industrial surface coating

operations emit volatile organic

compounds (VOCs) in quantities that

the Administrator believes cause or

contribute to air pollution that may

reasonably be anticipated to endanger

public health or welfare. Consequently,

New Source Performance Standards for

the surface coating of plastic parts for

business machines were promulgated.

VOC emissions from these facilities are

the result of operation of the spray

booths that apply prime coats, color

coats, texture coats or touch-up coats.

The standards ensure that owners or

operators of these facilities use coatings

that contain a low proportion of VOCs,

and coating application equipment that

provides a high transfer efficiency. In

addition, or as an alternative, sources

may use control equipment to meet the

emission limits. In order to ensure

compliance with these standards,

adequate recordkeeping is necessary. In

the absence of such information,

enforcement personnel would be unable

to determine whether the standards are

being met on a continuous basis, as

required by the Clean Air Act.

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 are listed

in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. The Federal Register Notice

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on August

30, 1996 (61 FR 45959). No comments

were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 6 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; 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:

Industrial surface coating companies

that process plastic parts used in the

manufacture of business machines.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

41.

Frequency of Response: Initial,

Quarterly, Semi-Annually.

Average Hours per Response: 6 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

3639 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Cost

Burden: 0.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

techniques to the following addresses.
