**SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY**  **NESHAP for the Wood Building**  **Products Surface Coating Industry (40 CFR P**  **art 63, S**  **ubpart QQQQ) (Renewal) 1. Identification of the Information Collection**  **1(a) Title of the Information Collection**  NESHAP for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQ ) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 2034.05 , OMB Control Number 2060

- 0510 **1( b**  **) Short Characterization/Abstract**  The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating Industry were proposed on June 21, 2002 and promulgated on May 28, 2003 . These regulations appl y to new and existing facilities that perform surface co ating of wood building products where the total Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) emitted are greater than or equal to 10 tons per year of any one HAP, or where the total HAPs emitted are greater than or equal to 25 tons per year of any combination of HAPs, that use at least 4,170 liters (1,100 gallons) of coatings annually

. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of the proposal. This information is being collected to as sure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart QQQQ. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports b y the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain reco rds 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining c ompliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority

. In the event that there is no such delegated authority , the reports are sent directl y to the U

. S

. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there is an average of one affected facility at each plant site and that each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site). Over the next three ye ars, an average of 232 respondents per ye ar will be subject to the standard , and no additional respondents will become subject to the standard. The Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ) approved the currentl y active ICR without any

“ Terms of Clearance

. ”2

The “Affected Public” is private sector businesses that perform surface coating of wood building products. The burden to the “Affected Public” may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQ) (Renewal) . The burden to the “Federal Government” is attributed entirely

to work performed by

federal employees or government contractors; this burden is found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQ) (Renewal).
**2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection**  The EPA is charged under Section 1 12 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory

of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutant s and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. Inaddition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any

owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Act to: (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports;

(C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such m anner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 1 14(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from wood building product surface coating facilities either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasona bly be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 63, subpart QQQQ

. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which where promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings. Performance tests are required in o rder to determine an affected facility ’ s initial capability to comply

with the emission standard

. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance test a record of the3

operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. The notifications required in the standard are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated , and leaks are being detected and repaired and the standard is being met. The perfo rmance test may also be observed. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility , verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.
**3. Non**
**- duplication,**  **Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria** The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 63, subpart QQQQ

. **3(a) Non**
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directl y to the appropriate EPA regi onal office. Otherwise, the information is sent directl y to the de legated state or local agency

. If a state or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a cop y of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does no t exist. **3(b) Publ ic Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB**  An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register ( 76 FR 26900 ) on May 9, 2011 . No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations** The Agency

has consulted industry

experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years. The primary source of information as reported by industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System (OTIS ) which is operated and maintained b y EPA's Office of Compliance. OTI S is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency ’s internal industry experts. Industry trade associations and other interested partie s were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed and the standard4

has previousl y been reviewed to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. In developing this ICR, we co ntacted : 1) the Composite Panel Association , at (703) 724

- 1128 ; 2) the Engineered Wood Products Association , at (208) 867

- 7691 ; and 3) Alamco Wood Products , at (877) 679

- 9663. It is our policy

to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the f irst Federal Register notice. In this ca se, no comments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection** Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required b y these standards was collected less frequentl y, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility

of detecting violations would be less likely

. **3(e) General Guidelines**
These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated b y OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5. These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards. EPA believes that the five

- ye ar records retention requirement is consistent the Part 70 permit program and the five

- ye ar statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of rec ords for five ye ars allow s EPA to establish the compliance history of a source , any pattern of non - compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violation s extending beyond fiv e ye ars. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records

. **3(f) Confidentiality** Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safe guarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B

- Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20 , 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions**
The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions.5

**4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes**  The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are wood building products surface coating facilities

. The United States Standard Industrial Classification (SI C) codes for the respondents affected b y the standards, which corresponds to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, are listed below for wood building products surface coating facilities.
**Standard (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQ)**  **SIC Codes NAICS Codes**  Hardwood Veneer and Ply wood Manufacturing 2421 321211 Softwood Veneer and Plywood Manufacturing 2426 321212 Engineered Wood Member (except Truss) Manufacturing 2431 321213 Truss Manufacturing 2435 32121 4 Reconstituted Wood Product Manufacturing 2436 321219 Wood Window and Door Manufacturing 2439 321911 Other Millwork (including Flooring) 2493 321918 All Other Miscellaneous Wood Product Manufacturing 2499 321999 **4(b) Information Requested (i) Data Items** 
In this ICR , all the data that is recorded or reported is required b y NESHAP for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating Industry (40 CFR P art 63, S ubpart QQQQ )

. A source must make the following reports:
**Notification s**  Initial notification 63.4710(b), 63.5(d), 63.9(b) Notification of compliance status 63.4710(c), 63.9(h) Notification of construction or reconstruction 63.5 Notification of actual startup 63.9(b) Notification of performance test 63.7(b), 63.8(e), 63.9(e)

Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordke eping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies in cooperation with the respondents continue to create reporting systems to transmit data electronically . However, electronic reporting s ys tems are still not widely used. At this time, it is estimated th at approximately 10 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.7 **(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate compliance monitoring s ys tem (CMS) for temperature, for gas flow, or for pressure drop for oxidizer, carbon adsorber, condenser, concentrator, or capture s ys tem. Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F, 2G, 3, #A, 3B, 4, 24, 25, 25A, 204, 204A, 204B, 204C, 204D, 204E, 204F, 311, or ASTM Method D1475

- 98, D2697

- 86, D6093

- 97 test, and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Write the notifications and reports listed above. Enter information required to be recorded above. Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. Currently , sources are using monitoring equipment that provide parameter data in an automated way

e.g., continuous parameter monitoring s ys tem. Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this ty pe of monitoring equipment has significantly red uced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. **5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management**  **5(a) Agency Activities** EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information. **Agency Activities** Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records.8 **Agency Activities** Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information System (OTI S). **5(b) Collection Methodology and Management** Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated. Performance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source ’ s initial capability to compl y with the emission standard

. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
In formation contained in the reports is entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by

EPA's Office of Compliance. OT IS is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. EPA uses the OTI S for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement b y local and state regulatory agenci es, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data. The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five ye ars. **5(c) Small Entity Flexibili ty**  A majority

of the respondents are small entities (i.e., small businesses). T he impact on small entities was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the ty pes of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency

considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small entities. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced. According to the Industry Profile for the Proposed Wood Building Products NESHAP 1 , 97 percent of the parent companies affected b y proposed action were estimated to be small entities as defined b y the Small Business Administration. The Agency assumes that 97 percent of the 232 facilities affected by this ICR, or 225 facilities, are small entities. **5(d) Collec tion Schedule**  The specific frequency

for each information collection activity within this request is shown in below Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQ) (Renewal)

**6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection** Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for subpart included in this ICR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act . Wherever appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been i dentified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. The 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. **6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden** The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirement s is estimated to be 75,771 ( T otal Labor Hours from Table 1 below). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency

knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previousl y approved ICR, and any comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $ 120.77 ($5 7

. 51 + 110%) Technical $ 99. 39 ($4 7

. 33 + 110%) Clerical $ 50.04 ($2 3

. 83 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 2011 , “ Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group. ” The rates are from c olumn 1, “ Total compensation. ” The rates have been increased b y 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry

. **(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs** The ty pe of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. Th e capital/startup costs are one

- time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

. This is the total of column G. The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the IC R is estimated to be $ 278,400

. These are recordkeeping costs. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost**  The only costs to the Agency

are those costs associated with anal ys is of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 384,745

. This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $ 6 2.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 3 8. 92 + 60% ) Technical $ 4 6

. 21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $ 28. 88 + 60% ) Clerical $2 5.01 (GS

. The rates have been increased b y 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQ) (Renewal)

. **6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs** Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three ye ars, approximately 232 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that no additional11

respondents will become subject. The overall average number of respondent s, as shown in the table below is 232 per ye ar. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR. **Number of Respondents**

Products Surface Coating Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQ) (Renewal)

. **6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables** The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectivel y, and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 75,771 hours at a cost of $7,276,177

. Details regarding these estimates may

be found below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

- NESHAP for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQ) (Renewal)

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 109 hours per response

. The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $278,400

. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.

**(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 8,538 labor hours at a cost of $384,745 . See below Table 2 : Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQ) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** There is no change in the burden hours in this ICR compared to the previous I CR. 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 ye ars ; 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. There is an increase in costs for both the respondents and the Agenc y from the most recentl y approved ICR. The increase in burden cost is due to an increase in labor rates. This ICR uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate burden costs. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 109 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended b y 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,13

acquire, install, and utilize technology and s ys tems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining infor mation, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to compl y 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. An agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
