    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Beverage 
Can Surface Coating (40 CFR part 60, subpart WW) were proposed on 
November 26, 1980; promulgated on August 25, 1983; and most-recently 
amended on October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to each operation 
of the following surface coating lines in the Beverage Can Surface 
Coating industry: (1) Exterior base; (2) over-varnished; and (3) inside 
spray. New facilities include those that commenced construction, 
modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. 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. This information is being collected 
to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart WW.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Beverage can surface coating 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart WW)
    Estimated number of respondents: 46 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 4,970 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $686,000 (per year), which includes $97,000 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an overall decrease in burden 
from the most-recently approved ICR due to adjustments. This decrease 
is not due to any program changes: There is a decrease in the total 
burden hours from the most-recently approved ICR because of a decrease 
in the number of sources subject to these standards. This ICR 
incorporates more accurate estimates of existing sources based on a 
review of beverage can surface coating operations subject to other 
federal regulations. The decrease in the number of respondents also 
results in a decrease in the operation and maintenance costs.
