    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Surface 
Coating of Large Appliances were proposed on December 24, 1980; 
promulgated on October 27, 1982; and most-recently revised on October 
17, 2000. These regulations apply to large appliance coating 
facilities. In general, all NSPS standards require initial 
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/
operators of the affected facilities. New facilities include those that 
commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date 
of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance 
with 40 CFR part 60, subpart SS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities that perform surface 
coating of large appliance products.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart SS).
    Estimated number of respondents: 16 (total).
    Frequency of response: Quarterly, semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 1,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $192,000 (per year), which includes $2,100 in 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
total estimated burden from the most-recently approved ICR. This 
increase is not due to any program changes. The adjustment decrease in 
burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the 
number of sources. The number of respondents has been adjusted 
downwards from the most-recently approved ICR to reflect a more 
accurate estimate of subject sources, based on data collected through 
EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database and a 
review of large appliance coating facilities subject to other federal 
regulations. The decrease in the number of respondents also results in 
a decrease in the operation and maintenance costs. There are no 
estimated new respondents anticipated in the next three years; 
therefore, there are no capital costs.
