NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating (40 CFR part 63,
subpart PPPP) (Renewal)

1.  Identification of the Information Collection

1(a)  Title of the Information Collection

	NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating (40 CFR part 63,
subpart PPPP).

1(b)  Short Characterization/Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating published at 40 CFR part
63, subpart PPPP were proposed on December 4, 2002, and promulgated on
April 19, 2004.  The regulations were revised on April 24, 2007 to
clarify applicability of the rule and correct certain errors in the
regulatory text; there was no associated change in the monitoring or
recordkeeping requirements.  These regulations apply to existing
facilities and new facilities that perform surface coating of plastic
parts and products where the total Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs)
emitted are greater than or equal to 10 tons per year of any one HAP, or
where the total HAPs emitted are greater than or equal to 25 tons per
year of any combination of HAPs, that use at least 100 gallons of
HAP-containing coatings annually.  New facilities include those that
commenced construction, or reconstruction after the date of the
proposal.  This information is being collected to ensure compliance with
40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPP.

	In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities.  They also are 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.

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
five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports,
and records.  All reports are sent to the delegated state or local
authority.  In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) regional office.

Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there is an
average of one affected facility at each plant site, and each plant site
has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site).

Approximately 827 sources currently are subject to the standard, and it
is estimated that one additional source per year will become subject to
the regulation in the next three years.

	The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active
Information Collection Request (ICR) without any “Terms of
Clearance.”

The burden to the “Affected Public” may be found in Table 1: Annual
Respondent Burden and Cost, NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products
Surface Coating (40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPP).  The burden to the
“Federal Government” is attributed entirely to work performed by
Federal employees or government contractors; this burden may be found in
Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden, NESHAP for Plastic Parts and
Products Surface Coating (40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPP).

2(a)  Need/Authority for the Collection

The EPA is charged under section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended,
to establish standards of performance for each category, or subcategory
of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants.  These
standards are applicable to new, or existing sources of hazardous air
pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. 
In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require
any owner, or operator subject to any requirement of this Act to: 

(A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C)
install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit
procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with
such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during
such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe);
(E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables,
or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is
impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with
Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the
Administrator may reasonably require.

In the Administrator's judgment, hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions
from plastic parts and products surface coating facilities cause or
contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to
endanger public health or welfare.  Therefore, NESHAP for this source
category were promulgated at 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPP.

2(b)  Practical Utility/Users of the Data

 

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure
compliance with the applicable regulations that were promulgated in
accordance with the Clean Air Act.  The collected information also is
used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.

Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected
facility’s initial capability to comply with the emission standards. 
Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the
standards at all times.

The notifications required in the standards are used to inform the
Agency, or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the
requirements of the regulations.  The reviewing authority may then
inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are
properly installed and operated, that leaks are being detected and
repaired and that the standards are being met.  The performance test
also may be observed.

The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess
emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify
operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.

3.  Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

The recordkeeping and reporting requested are required under 40 CFR part
63, subpart PPPP.

3(a)  Non-duplication

 If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is
sent to the appropriate EPA regional office.  Otherwise, the information
is sent directly to the delegated state, or local Agency.  If a state,
or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the
Federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the state, or local
agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required
by the Federal standards.  Therefore, no duplication exists.

3(b)  Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to Office of
Management and Budget

An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR
was published in the Federal Register (74 FR 32580) on July 8, 2009.  No
comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.

3(c)  Consultations

Any comments received since the last ICR renewal, including those
submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice announcing
the renewal of this ICR, must be reviewed.  In this case, no comments
were received.  The Agency’s industry experts have been consulted
during prior renewals.  The Agency’s internal data sources and any
projections of industry growth over the next three years have been
considered.

The Agency’s primary source of information as reported by industry is
the AFS (Air Facility System), which is operated and maintained by the
EPA Office of Compliance.  AFS is the EPA database for the collection,
maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data.  Prior consultations
with Agency industry experts regarding the growth rate for the industry
indicated that one additional respondent per year will become subject to
the regulation over the next three years.

Estimates of growth rate and burden were developed with extensive
participation and consultation with plastic parts surface coating
industry representatives during prior rulemaking for 40 CFR part 63,
subpart PPPP.  EPA believes that these estimates remain valid, and are
the best information available.  

For this renewal, EPA contacted a representative industry trade
organization to request a voluntary opinion as to the accuracy of the
burden estimates associated with this ICR and whether there is any way
to reduce the burden.  EPA contacted The National Paint and Coatings
Association (NPCA) (David Darling, email:   HYPERLINK
"mailto:ddarling@paint.org"  ddarling@paint.org ).  Mr. Darling stated
that they have no comments regarding whether there is any way to reduce
the burden, and no recent concerns have been expressed regarding the
current burden estimations associated with recordkeeping and reporting
under the rule.

3(d)  Effects of Less Frequent Collection

Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of
assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the required standards.
 Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful
techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are
applied and emission limitations are met.  If the information required
by these standards was collected less frequently, the likelihood of
detecting poor operation and maintenance of control equipment and
noncompliance would decrease.

3(e)  General Guidelines

These reporting, or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the
regulations established by OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.

	These standards require affected facilities to maintain all records,
including reports and notifications, for at least five years.  This is
consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards.  EPA
believes that the five-year records retention requirement is consistent
with the part 70 permit program and the five-year statute of limitations
on which the permit program is based.  In addition, the retention of
records for five years would allow EPA to establish the compliance
history of a source and any pattern of compliance for purposes of
determining the appropriate level of enforcement action.  Historically,
EPA has found that the most flagrant violators frequently have
violations extending beyond the five years.  EPA would be prevented from
pursuing the worst violators due to the destruction, or nonexistence of
records if records were retained for less than five years.

3(f)  Confidentiality

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 (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902,
September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR
42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

3(g)  Sensitive Questions

The reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not contain sensitive
questions.

4.  The Respondents and the Information Requested

Electronic Reporting

Currently, sources are using monitoring equipment that provides
parameter data in an automated way, e.g., inlet and outlet
concentrations when determining percent efficiency.  Although personnel
at the source still need to evaluate the data, this type of monitoring
equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with
monitoring and recordkeeping.  In addition, some regulatory agencies are
setting up electronic reporting systems to allow sources to report
electronically which is reducing the reporting burden.  However,
electronic reporting systems are still not widely used by the regulatory
agencies.  It is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the
respondents use electronic reporting.

5.  The Information Collected -- Agency Activities, Collection
Methodology, and Information Management

5(a)  Agency Activities

EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the
acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required
information.

Agency Activities

Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if
necessary.

Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports,
excess emissions reports, startup, shutdown, malfunction plan, and
quality control plan for CMS required to be submitted by industry.

Audit facility records.

Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Air Facility System (AFS).

5(b)  Collection Methodology and Management

Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might inspect
the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are
properly installed and operated.  Performance test reports are used by
the Agency to discern a source’s initial capability to comply with the
emission standard.  Data and records maintained by the respondents are
tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. 
The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check
on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.

Information contained in the reports is entered into the AFS which is
operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance.  AFS is the EPA
database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance
data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government-owned
facilities.  EPA uses the AFS for tracking air pollution compliance and
enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices
and EPA headquarters.  EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit,
store, retrieve and analyze the data.

The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner or
operator for five years.

5(c)  Small Entity Flexibility

	According to the Final Rule notice published in the Federal Register on
April 19, 2004 (75 FR 20968), approximately 51 percent of the total
number of firms affected by this rule are small entities.  While the
number of small firms appears to be a large proportion of the total
number of affected firms, the small firms experience 21 percent of the
total national compliance cost.  Therefore, this ICR assumes 21 percent
of the total affected facilities, or 174 facilities, are owned by small
entities.

Although the Final Rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities, EPA nonetheless has worked
aggressively to minimize the impact of the final rule on small entities.
 EPA solicited input from small entities during the data-gathering phase
of the rulemaking.  EPA promulgated compliance options that give small
entities flexibility in choosing the most cost-effective and least
burdensome alternative for their operation.  For example, a facility
could purchase and use lower or non-HAP coatings, thinners, and cleaning
materials (i.e., pollution prevention) that meet the Final Rule rather
than being required to purchase add-on control systems.  The lower or
non-HAP option can be demonstrated with minimum burden by using
already-maintained purchase and usage records.  No testing of materials
would be required as the facility owner could show that their coatings
meet the emission limits by providing formulation data supplied by the
manufacturer.  

EPA also provides one option that allows compliance demonstrations to be
conducted on a rolling 12-month basis, meaning that each month the
facility would calculate a 12-month organic HAP emission rate for the
previous 12 months to determine compliance.  This gives affected small
entities extra flexibility in complying with the emission limits since
small entities are more likely to use lower monthly volumes and/or a
limited number of materials.  Furthermore, EPA has promulgated the
minimum monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements needed for
enforcement and compliance assurance.

	

5(d)  Collection Schedule

	The specific frequency for each information collection activity within
this request is shown in Table 1:  Annual Respondent Burden and Cost,
NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating (40 CFR part 63,
subpart PPPP).

6.  Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the
recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for
the subpart included in this ICR.  The individual burdens are expressed
under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept
of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act.  Where appropriate,
specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified.  Responses to
this information collection are mandatory.

The 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.

6(a)  Estimating Respondent Burden

The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from
these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be
320,917 (Total Labor Hours from Table 1).  These hours are based on
Agency studies and background documents from the development of the
regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the
previously approved ICR, and any comments received.

6(b)  Estimating Respondent Costs

(i)  Estimating Labor Costs

This ICR uses the following labor rates: 

Managerial	$100.99 ($48.09 + 110%)

Technical	$87.97   ($41.89 + 110%)

Clerical	$43.81   ($20.86 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, December 2005, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by
occupational and industry group.”  The rates are from column 1,
“Total compensation.”  The rates have been increased by 110 percent
to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by
private industry.

(ii)  Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs

This section covers the costs associated with all types of continuous
monitoring equipment [e.g., continuous emissions monitoring systems
(CEMS) and continuous parameter monitors].  The types of industry costs
associated with the information collection activity in the subject
standards are both labor costs, which are addressed elsewhere in this
ICR, and the costs associated with continuous monitoring.  The
capital/startup costs are one-time costs when a facility becomes subject
to the regulation.  The annual operation and maintenance costs are the
ongoing costs to maintain the monitors and other costs, such as
photocopying and postage.

The total Capital/Start-up costs for this ICR are $16,000.

 

The total Operating and Maintenance (O&M) Costs for this ICR are
$248,400.

The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and
maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is
estimated to be $264,400.  The continuous monitoring costs that are
included in this section consist only of those capital/startup and O&M
costs that a source incurs as a result of the standard.  Some continuous
monitoring costs are not included in this section.  For instance, if a
particular industry typically utilizes a control device that must have a
continuous monitor (e.g., temperature, pressure drop, etc.) to function
properly, and the recordation of additional measurements beyond the
minimum are required by the standard, then there is no capital/startup
or O&M cost, but there is a labor cost to record the additional
readings.  Such a cost would not appear in this section, but in the
industry burden Section 6(d) below.

6(c)  Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of
the reported information.  The EPA compliance and enforcement program
includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the
respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the
publication and distribution of collected information.

The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is
estimated to be $1,344,013 (see Table 2).

This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

	Managerial	$57.20  (GS-13, Step 5, $35.75 x 1.6)   

	Technical	$42.45  (GS-12, Step 1, $26.53 x 1.6)

	Clerical	$22.96  (GS-6, Step 3, $14.35 x 1.6)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2006
General Schedule”, which excludes locality rates of pay.  Details upon
which this estimate is based appear in Table 2: Annual Agency Burden and
Cost, NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating (40 CFR part
63, subpart PPPP).

6(d)  Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

Based on our research for this ICR, there are approximately 827 existing
sources currently subject to the standard.  It is estimated that one
additional source will become subject to the regulation in each of the
next three years.

The number of respondents is calculated using the following table, which
addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

Number of Respondents

	Respondents That Submit Reports	Respondents That Do Not Submit Any
Reports

	Year	(A)

Number of New Respondents 1	(B)

Number of Existing Respondents	(C)

3	1	829	0	0	830

Average	1	828	0	0	829

  1 New respondents include sources with constructed, reconstructed, and
modified affected facilities.

To avoid double-counting respondents, column D is subtracted.  As shown
above, the average Number of Respondents over the three-year period of
this ICR is 829.

The total number of annual responses per year is calculated using the
following table:

	Total	3,525

The number of Total Annual Responses is 3,525.

Note that the total annual capital and O&M costs to the regulated entity
are $264,400.

6(e)  Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables

The bottom line burden hours and cost tables for both the Agency and the
respondents appear below.  The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 91
hours per response.

The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the
respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively,
and are summarized below.

(i) Respondent Tally

	The total annual labor costs are $27,180,233.  Details regarding these
estimates may be found in Table 1:  Annual Respondent Burden and Cost,
NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating (40 CFR part 63,
subpart PPPP).  Furthermore, the annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to
average 91 hours per response.

The total annual capital and O&M costs to the regulated entity are
$264,400.

(ii) The Agency Tally

	The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is
estimated to be 32,467 labor hours at a cost of $1,344,013.  See Table
2: Annual Agency Burden and Cost, NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products
Surface Coating (40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPP).

6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden

The changes in burden from the most recently approved ICR are due to an
adjustment.  Calculation errors in the previous ICR were corrected,
resulting in multiple changes to burden estimations: a decrease to the
calculated respondent burden hours and cost; an increase to the
calculated Agency cost; a decrease in the number of total responses; and
a net increase in the hours per response.

In Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost, NESHAP for Plastic Parts
and Products Surface Coating (40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPP),
person-hours per respondent per year for the material usage
recordkeeping requirement was previously rounded to a whole number.  In
carrying out the decimal places for the calculation, the calculated
burden is reduced by 476 hours, and $40,519.

In Table 2: Annual Agency Burden and Cost, NESHAP for Plastic Parts and
Products Surface Coating (40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPP), correction of a
multiplication error resulted in an increase in cost of $264.

In calculating the total number of annual responses in Section 6(d), the
previous ICR presented startup, shutdown, and maintenance reporting as
affecting all respondents.  However, this was not consistent with the
stated assumption that approximately 25 percent of respondents use
add-on control technology and, therefore, are required to submit
startup, shutdown, and maintenance reports.  This error was corrected in
this ICR, resulting in the total number of annual responses decreasing
from 4,146 to 3,525.  As a result, there was a net (factoring in the
reduction in calculated total respondent hour burden) increase in the
calculated hours per response, of 77 to 91 hours.

6(g)  Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 91 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.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB
Control Number.  The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed
at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
