Proposed Information Collection 

Request; Comment Request; National 

Volatile Organic Compound Emission 

Standards for Architectural Coatings 

(Renewal) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘National Volatile Organic Compound 

Emission Standards for Architectural 

Coatings,’’ (EPA ICR No. 1750.08, OMB 

Control No. 2060–0393) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval in accordance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before 

doing so, the EPA is soliciting public 

comments on specific aspects of the 

proposed information collection as 

described below. This is a proposed 

extension of the ICR, which is currently 

approved through April 30, 2018. 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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before December 15, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OAR–2011–0371 in the subject line, 

online using www.regulations.gov (our 

preferred method), by email to: a-and-rdocket@epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA 

Docket Center, Environmental 

Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 

1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20460. 

The EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change, including any

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

the Paperwork Reduction Act, the EPA 

is soliciting 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. The EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, the 

EPA will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: The EPA is required under 

section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) to regulate volatile organic 

compound (VOC) emissions from the 

use of consumer and commercial 

products. Pursuant to CAA section 

183(e)(3), the EPA published a list of 

consumer and commercial products and 

a schedule for their regulation (60 FR 

15264). Architectural and industrial 

maintenance coatings are included on 

the list, and the standards for such 

coatings are codified at 40 CFR part 59, 

subpart D. The information collection 

includes initial reports and periodic 


ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 198 / Monday, October 16, 2017 / Notices 48077 

recordkeeping necessary for the EPA to 

ensure compliance with federal 

standards for VOC in architectural 

coatings. Respondents are 

manufacturers, distributors, and 

importers of architectural coatings. 

Responses to the collection are 

mandatory under 40 CFR part 59, 

subpart D—National Volatile Organic 

Compound Emission Standards for 

Architectural 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. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action as 

respondents are manufacturers, 

distributors, or importers of 

architectural and industrial 

maintenance coatings and coating 

components for sale or distribution in 

the United States, including the District 

of Columbia and all United States 

territories. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory under 40 CFR part 59, 

subpart D—National Volatile Organic 

Compound Emission Standards for 

Architectural Coatings. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

500 (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 14,436 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1,377,634 (per 

year). There are no annualized capital or 

operation and maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: This notice 

reflects differences in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with the 

ICR currently approved by OMB. 

Specifically, the total estimated 

respondent burden hours have changed 

from 14,661 to 14,436 and the total 

estimated respondent burden cost has 

changed from $1,261,526 to $1,377,634, 

which is a reflection of a mathematical 

error that was identified during the 

development of this renewal. The 

individual elements that are compiled 

to reflect total respondent burden hours 

and cost have not changed since the last 

renewal, we’re only correcting the math 

error for the total estimated burden.

Abstract: Under the Long Term 2 

Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule 

(LT2ESWTR), EPA requires public water 

systems (PWSs) to use approved 

laboratories when conducting 

Cryptosporidium monitoring. The Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR 

141.705(a) provides for approval of 

Cryptosporidium laboratories by ‘‘an 

equivalent’’ state laboratory certification 

program (i.e., equivalent to EPA’s 

Laboratory Quality Assurance 

Evaluation Program). In the preamble to 

the LT2ESWTR as well as several other 

notices, EPA has described the criteria 

for approval of laboratories to analyze 

Cryptosporidium samples under the 

LT2ESWTR. See the following Federal 

Register notices: 78 FR 54643 

(September 5, 2013), 74 FR 8529 

(February 25, 2009), 71 FR 727 (January 

5, 2006) and 67 FR 9731 (March 4, 

2002).
