Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Flexible Vinyl and Urethane Coating and Printing were proposed on January 18, 1983; promulgated on June 29, 1984; and amended on October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to facilities with rotogravure printing lines used to either print or coat flexible vinyl or urethane products for which construction, modification or reconstruction commenced after January 18, 1983. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart FFF.

Form Numbers: None.

Respondents/affected entities: Flexible vinyl and urethane coating and printing facilities.

Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart FFF).

Estimated number of respondents: 42 (total).

Frequency of response: Semiannual.

Total estimated burden: 1,340 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $545,000 (per year), which includes $385,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The adjustment increase in burden is due to more accurate estimates of existing and anticipated new sources. This ICR assumes a continuous growth rate of one new facility every three years. There is an increase in the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs due to an increase in the number of existing respondents from the currently approved ICR; there is no change in capital costs.
