    Title: NESHAP for Paints and Allied Products Manufacturing Area 
Source Category (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2348.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0633.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on February 28, 2013. 
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 NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
CCCCCCC.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-
time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 
performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or 
operators are also required to 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 annually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 
hour 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: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are the owners or operators of paints and allied products 
manufacturing facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,190.
    Frequency of Response: Initially and annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 4,533.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,172,604, which includes $1,172,604 
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and no operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
total estimated burden costs for the respondents as currently 
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is 
not due to any program changes. The increase reflects an adjustment in 
labor rates. This ICR uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor 
Statistics to calculate all labor costs.
    However, there is an adjustment decrease in the total burden hours 
and Agency costs from the previous ICR. The change in the burden and 
cost estimates occurred because the standards have been in effect for 
more than three years and the requirements are different during initial 
compliance (new facilities) as compared to on-going compliance 
(existing facilities). The previous ICR reflected those burdens and 
costs associated with the initial activities for subject facilities. 
This includes conducting performance tests, notifying initial 
compliance status, and establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR, by 
in large, reflects only the on-going burden and costs for existing 
facilities. Activities for existing sources include continuously 
monitoring of pollutants and the submission of annual reports. 
Specifically, this ICR includes the burdens associated with annual 
compliance certification and exceedance reports. Respondents must 
submit these reports to the Agency only if a deviation from the 
requirements of this subpart has occurred. This ICR assumes ten percent 
of respondents will submit these reports annually for Agency review. 
These changes result in a net decrease in the respondent and Agency 
burden hours, as well as a decrease in Agency labor costs.
