    Title: NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1957.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0487
    ICR Status: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants were proposed 
(65 FR 44616) on July 18, 2000, promulgated (67 FR 39812) on June 10, 
2002, and amended (68 FR 12592) on March 17, 2003. These standards 
apply to each facility operating a coil coating line and that is a 
major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). This coating line 
coats metal coil of thicknesses less than, greater than, or equal to 
0.15 millimeters (0.006 inches) thick.
    Abstract: Owners or operators must submit notification reports upon 
construction or reconstruction of any metal coil surface coating plant. 
Semiannual reports for periods of operation during which the emission 
limitation has exceeded, or reports certifying that no exceedances have 
occurred, also are required. Owners and operators must submit 
notification reports upon the construction, reconstruction, or 
modification of any metal coil surface coating plant. Also, required is 
a one-time-only initial notification for new and reconstructed sources. 
Owners or operators of metal coil surface coating plants subject to the 
rule must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file 
for at least five years following the date of such measurements, 
maintenance reports, and records.
    All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In 
the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are 
sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart SSSS, as 
authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required 
information consists of emissions data and other information that have 
been determined to be private.
    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 Number for EPA's 
regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information estimated to average 119 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose and 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. All 
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously 
applicable instructions and requirements that 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: Metal coil surface coating plants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 89.
    Frequency of Response: Weekly, annually, semiannually, initially 
and occasionally.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 19,901.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,588,365 for labor costs, inclusive, 
plus O&M costs of $3,648 and $00.00 for annualized capital costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or 
cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative 
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall 
burden. It should be noted that the previous ICR rounded the burden 
cost down to the nearest one

[[Page 34929]]

thousand. In this ICR, the exact cost figure is reported which results 
in an apparent increase in the cost when, in fact, no increase has 
occurred.
    Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there 
is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in 
the previous ICR was used in this ICR, and there is no change in burden 
to industry.
