ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OECA-2013-0335; FRL-10004-04-OMS]

Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Aerospace Manufacturing and 
Rework Facilities (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Aerospace 
Manufacturing and Rework Facilities (EPA ICR Number 1687.12, OMB 
Control Number 2060-0314), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. 
This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved

the Federal Register, on May 6, 2019 during a 60-day comment period. 
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A 
fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated 
burden and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor 
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before February 27, 
2020.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities 
(40 CFR part 63, subpart GG) apply to existing and new aerospace 
manufacturing and rework facilities where the total hazardous air 
pollutants (HAP) emitted are greater than or equal to 10 tons per year 
of any combination of HAP, or where the total HAP emitted are greater 
than or equal to 25 tons per year of any combination of HAP. New 
facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction 
after the date of proposal. Operations covered include: Cleaning, 
primer and top coat application, depainting, chemical milling maskant 
application, handling and storage of waste, and specialty coating 
operations. This information is being collected to assure compliance 
with 40 CFR part 63, subpart GG.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, 
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the 
affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the 
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the 
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the 
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and 
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of 
all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Aerospace manufacturing and rework 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63 
Subpart GG).
    Estimated number of respondents: 144 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 154,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $15,500,000 (per year), which includes 
$144,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the burden hours or 
cost in this ICR compared to the hours and costs described in 
supporting statement for the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations. First, the regulations have had no significant changes 
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. Since there are no changes in the regulatory 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements and there is no significant 
industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous ICR 
are used in this ICR and there is no change in burden to industry.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
