    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Flexible 
Vinyl and Urethane Coating and Printing were proposed on January

[[Page 36921]]

18, 1983, promulgated on June 29, 1984, and amended on October 17, 
2000. These regulations apply to facilities with rotogravure printing 
lines used to print or coat flexible vinyl or urethane products for 
which construction, modification or reconstruction commenced after 
January 18, 1983. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart FFF.
    In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Flexible vinyl and urethane coating 
and printing facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart FFF).
    Estimated number of respondents: 41 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 1,310 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $525,000 (per year), which includes $376,000 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
change in burden in this ICR compared to the previous renewal. This is 
due to two considerations: (1) There has been an increase in the 
estimated number of respondents from the prior ICR, based on a review 
of sources reported in the Agency's Integrated Compliance Information 
System (ICIS); and (2) the increase in the number of respondents also 
results in an increase in the operation and maintenance costs. Growth 
in the industry is anticipated to remain consistent at one respondent 
over the three-year period of this ICR, therefore there are no changes 
to the capital or startup costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
