Title: Auto Refinishing Industry

Solvent-Use Survey EPA ICR No.

1786.01. This is a new collection.

Abstract: This information collection

is a voluntary one-time survey of

automobile refinishers requested by the

Emissions Characterization and

Prevention Branch (ECPB) of the

Environmental Protection Agency’s

(EPA) Air Pollution and Prevention

Control Division (APPCD) to support the

overall EPA program to investigate the

emissions of ozone precursors both

nationally and at the metropolitan level.

Data collected are used to validate

existing and proposed model-based

estimates of emissions, develop

statistically valid estimates of

precursors usage in the auto refinishing

industry, and investigate functional

relationships between emissions and

factors that may be useful predictors of

emissions.

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
