direct

and
clarified
some
definitions.
In
general,
all
NSPS
standards
require
initial
notifications,
performance
tests,
and
periodic
reports.
Owners
or
operators
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
sources
subject
to
NSPS.
Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
two
years
following
the
date
of
such
measurements,
maintenance
reports,
and
records.
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
numbers
for
EPA's
regulations
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
48
CFR
chapter
15,
and
are
identified
on
the
form
and/
or
instrument,
if
applicable.
Burden
Statement:
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
303
(
rounded)
hours
per
response.
Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
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;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
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:
Plants
with
electric
arc
furnaces,
AOD
vessels,
and
dust
handling
systems
that
produce
carbon,
alloy,
or
specialty
steels.
Estimated
Number
of
Respondents:
95.
Frequency
of
Response:
Initial
and
semiannual.
Estimated
Total
Annual
Hour
Burden:
58,195
hours
(
rounded).
Estimated
Total
Capital
and
Operations
&
Maintenance
(
O&
M)
Annual
Costs:
$
289,890
which
includes
$
4,140
annualized
capital/
startup
costs
and
$
285,750
annual
O&
M
costs.
Changes
in
the
Estimates:
There
is
an
increase
of
9,782
hours
in
the
total
estimated
burden
currently
identified
in
the
OMB
Inventory
of
Approved
ICR
Burdens.
This
increase
is
due
to
an
increase
on
the
number
of
sources
and
revisions
to
the
assumptions
made
to
determine
the
industry
burden.
A
net
increase
of
5
sources
(
90
to
95)
was
determined
due
to
the
inclusion
of
10
steel
forging
facilities
that
use
electric
arc
furnaces
to
develop
intermediate
products
as
affected
facilities
which
offset
the
decreased
(
90
to
85)
number
of
minimills.
In
addition,
the
increase
is
due
to
corrections
made
to
the
percentages
used
to
evaluate
the
burden
associated
with
the
different
types
of
activities
sources
are
conducting
to
comply
with
the
monitoring
of
stack
emissions
and
the
fugitive
emissions
monitoring
requirements.

Title:
NSPS
for
the
Surface
Coating
of
Plastic
Parts
for
Business
Machines
(
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
TTT)
(
Renewal)
(
OMB
Control
Number
2060
 
0162,
EPA
ICR
Number
1093.07).
This
is
a
request
to
renew
an
existing,
approved
collection
that
is
scheduled
to
expire
on
July
31,
2003.
Under
OMB
regulations,
the
Agency
may
continue
to
conduct
or
sponsor
the
collection
of
information
while
this
submission
is
pending
at
OMB.
Abstract:
Industrial
surface
coating
operations
emit
volatile
organic
compounds
(
VOCs)
in
quantities
that
the
Administrator
believes
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Consequently,
New
Source
Performance
Standards
for
the
surface
coating
of
plastic
parts
for
business
machines
were
promulgated.
VOC
emissions
from
these
facilities
are
the
result
of
operation
of
the
spray
booths
that
apply
prime
coats,
color
coats,
texture
coats
or
touch­
up
coats.
The
standards
ensure
that
owners
or
operators
of
these
facilities
use
coatings
that
contain
a
low
proportion
of
VOCs,
and
coating
application
equipment
that
provides
a
high
transfer
efficiency.
In
addition,
or
as
an
alternative,
sources
may
use
control
equipment
to
meet
the
emission
limits.
In
order
to
ensure
compliance
with
these
standards,
adequate
recordkeeping
is
necessary.
In
the
absence
of
such
information,
enforcement
personnel
would
be
unable
to
determine
whether
the
standards
are
being
met
on
a
continuous
basis,
as
required
by
the
Clean
Air
Act.
Responses
to
the
collection
of
information
are
mandatory.
The
required
information
has
been
determined
not
to
be
confidential.
However,
any
information
submitted
to
the
Agency
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made
will
be
safeguarded
according
to
the
Agency
policies
set
forth
in
Title
40,
chapter
1,
part
2,
subpart
B
 
Confidentiality
of
Business
Information.
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
numbers
for
EPA's
regulations
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
48
CFR
chapter
15,
and
are
identified
on
the
form
and/
or
instrument,
if
applicable.
Burden
Statement:
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
35
(
rounded)
hours
per
response.
Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
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;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
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:
Facilities
that
apply
coatings
to
plastic
parts
for
business
machines.
Estimated
Number
of
Respondents:
10.
Frequency
of

Hour
Burden:
978
hours.
Estimated
Total
Capital

Maintenance
(

Annual
Costs:

Changes
in
the
Estimates:
There
is
a
decrease
of
2,661
hours
in
the
total
estimated
burden
currently
identified
in
the
OMB
Inventory
of
Approved
ICR
Burdens.
This
decrease
is
due
to
a
reduction
in
the
number
of
sources.

program
for
heavy­
