As part of the Agency’s efforts to

reduce the overall paperwork burden on

regulated facilities, EPA would like to

solicit comments on how the Agency

could best reduce the total paperwork

burden hours for this rule while

maintaining an effective level of

environmental protection. EPA also

would like to solicit public comments

to: (i) Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the Agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the

burden of the proposed collection of

information, including the validity of

the methodology and assumptions used;

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden

of the collection of information on those

who are to respond, including through

the use of appropriate automated

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques, or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submission of

responses.

No person is 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 displayed at 40

CFR Part 9. Send comments regarding

these matters, or any other aspects of the

information collection, including

suggestions for reducing the burden, to

the address listed above under

ADDRESSES near the top of this Notice.

prior OMB number. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Collection of Compliance

Information from Automotive Service

and Repair Shops, no prior OMB

Control No., EPA ICR No. 1793.01. This

is a new request to collect information.

Abstract: The Office of Compliance

within the Office of Enforcement and

Compliance Assurance is conducting a

statistical survey using a consolidated

screening checklist to determine the

level of compliance within the

automotive service and repair industry.

The information being obtained in the

first survey will provide the Agency

with a baseline of compliance that can

be associated with this industry. The

second survey, to be conducted twentyfour months later, is to determine if the

level of compliance has improved and

whether any compliance activities

undertaken by the Agency can be

attributed to that improvement. The

information being collected is on a

voluntary basis from the industry.

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

October 11, 1996 (61 FR 55293); Three

letters of comments were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

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;

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.
