Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NSPS for Surface Coating of Plastic Parts 
for Business Machines (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Surface Coating of 
Plastic Parts for Business Machines (EPA ICR Number 1093.13, OMB 
Control Number 2060-0162), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Surface 
Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines (40 CFR part 60 subpart 
TTT) were proposed on January 8, 1986; promulgated on January 29, 1988; 
and amended on October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to new 
facilities that perform industrial surface coating operations on 
plastic parts for use in the manufacture of business machines: Each 
spray booth that applies prime coats, color coats, texture coats or 
touch-up coats. New facilities include those that either commenced 
construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of 
proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 
40 CFR part 60, subpart TTT.
    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: Facilities that perform industrial 
surface coating on plastic parts for business machines.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart TTT).
    Estimated number of respondents: 10 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 992 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $117,000 (per year), which includes no 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no change in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) The 
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not 
anticipated to change over the next three years; (2) the growth rate 
for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no 
significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in 
the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry 
growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation 
and maintenance (O&M) costs.
