    Abstract: The EPA is required under section 183(e) of the Clean Air 
Act (CAA) to regulate volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from 
the use of consumer and commercial products. Pursuant to CAA section 
183(e)(3), the EPA published a list of consumer and commercial products 
and a schedule for their regulation (60 FR 15264). The standards for 
consumer products are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart C. The 
information collection includes initial reports and periodic 
recordkeeping necessary for the EPA to ensure compliance with Federal 
standards for VOC in consumer products. Respondents are manufacturers, 
distributors, and importers of consumer products. All information 
submitted to the EPA for which a claim of confidentiality is made will 
be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in 40 CFR 
part 2, subpart B, Confidentiality of Business Information. The reports 
required under the standards enable the EPA to identify all consumer 
products manufacturers, distributors, and importers in the United 
States and to determine which consumer products are subject to the 
standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action as respondents are manufacturers, distributors, and 
importers of consumer products.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Responses to the collection are 
mandatory under 40 CFR part 59, subpart C.
    Estimated number of respondents: 300 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 16,126 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,765,427 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no change in the burden estimate 
currently approved by OMB.
