SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) for Surface Coating
of Metal Coils, 40 CFR part 60, subpart TT, OMB Number 2060-0107, EPA
ICR Number 0660.07 expiration 10/31/99. This is a request for extension
of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The NSPS for Surface Coating of Metal Coils were proposed
on January 5, 1981, and promulgated on November 1, 1982. These
standards
[[Page 49802]]
apply to each metal coil surface coating operation in which organic
coatings are applied that commenced construction, modification or
reconstruction after January 5, 1981. Approximately 150 sources are
currently subject to the standard, and it is estimated that 6 sources
per year will become subject to the standard. Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs) are the pollutants regulated under this subpart, and
this information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR
part 60, subpart TT.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make
initial reports when a source becomes subject, conduct and report on a
performance test, demonstrate and report on continuous monitor
performance, and maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected
facility. Semiannual reports of excess emissions are required. These
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining
compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to
NSPS.
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
2 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 EPA Regional Office. An 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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are
listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The Federal Register
document required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on this
collection of information was published on June 4, 1999: no comments
were received.
Burden Statement: The annual reporting and record keeping burden
for this collection of information is estimated to average 26 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.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners/Operators of Metal Coil
Surface Coating Plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 156.
Frequency of Response: Initial, Quarterly, and Semiannual Reports.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 15,335 hours.
Estimated Total Annualized Capital, O & M Cost Burden: $398,000.
Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the
accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods
for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of
automated collection techniques to the following addresses. Please
refer to EPA ICR No. 0660.07, and OMB Control No. 2060-0107 in any
correspondence.
