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
