document. 

What information particularly interests 

the EPA? 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act, the EPA 

specifically solicits comments and 

information to enable it 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. In 

particular, the EPA is requesting 

comments from very small businesses 

(those that employ less than 25 persons) 

on examples of specific additional 

efforts that the EPA could make to 

reduce the paperwork burden for very 

small businesses affected by this 

collection. 

What should I consider when I prepare 

my comments for the EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by the 

EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID

To what information collection activity 

or ICR does this apply? 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2003– 

0120. 

Affected Entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action as respondents 

are manufacturers and importers of 

automobile refinish coatings and coating 

components. Manufacturers of 

automobile refinish coatings and coating 

components fall within standard 

industrial classification (SIC) 2851, 

‘‘Paints, Varnishes, Lacquers, Enamels, 

and Allied Products’’ and North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) code 325510, ‘‘Paint 

and Coating Manufacturing.’’ Importers 

of automobile refinish coatings and 

coating components fall within SIC 

5198, ‘‘Wholesale Trade: Paints, 

Varnishes, and Supplies,’’ NAICS code 

422950, ‘‘Paint, Varnish and Supplies 

Wholesalers,’’ and NAICS code 444120, 

‘‘Paint and Wallpaper Stores.’’ 

Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping 

Requirements for National Volatile 

Organic Compound Emission Standards 

for Automobile Refinish Coatings (40 

CFR part 59). 

ICR number: EPA ICR Number 

1765.07, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0353. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on October 31, 

2013. 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 the EPA’s regulations in 

title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in 

the Federal Register when approved, 

are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are 

displayed either by publication in the 

Federal Register or by other appropriate 

means, such as on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of the OMB control numbers in 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. Under the OMB 

regulations, the agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at the OMB. 

Abstract: The EPA is required under 

section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act to 

regulate volatile organic compound 

emissions from the use of consumer and 

commercial products. Pursuant to 

section 183(e)(3), the EPA published a 

list of consumer and commercial 

products and a schedule for their 

regulation (60 FR 15264). Automobile 

refinish coatings were included on the 

list, and the standards for such coatings 

are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart 

B. The reports required under the 

standards enable the EPA to identify all 

coating and coating component 

manufacturers and importers in the 

United States and to determine which 

coatings and coating components are 

subject to the standards, based on dates 

of manufacture. Respondents are 

manufacturers, distributors and 

importers of automobile refinish 

coatings. Responses to the collection are 

mandatory under 40 CFR part 59, 

Subpart B—National Volatile Organic 

Compound Emission Standards for 

Automobile Refinish Coatings. All 

information submitted to the EPA for 

which a claim of confidentiality is made 

will be safeguarded according to the 

agency policies set forth in 40 CFR part 

2, subpart B—Confidentiality of 

Business Information. 

The EPA provided notice and sought 

comments on the previous ICR renewal 

on March 23, 2010, (75 FR 13759) 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.8(d). The EPA 

received no comments to that notice. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 4 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. The ICR 

provides a detailed explanation of the 

agency’s estimate, which is only briefly 

summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 4. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: One or 

less per year. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

14. 

Estimated total annual costs: $924. 

This includes an estimated burden cost 

of $0 and an estimated cost of $0 for 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There are slight changes being made 

to the estimates in this ICR from what 

the EPA estimated in the earlier renewal 

of this ICR. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

The EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to the OMB for 

review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, the EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

the OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to the OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR
