Title: NESHAP for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating
Industry (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2034.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0510.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2012.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes,
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart
QQQQ.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial
notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results.
Owners or operators 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. Reports, at a minimum, are required
semiannually.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 109
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 which have subsequently changed; 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 or operators of wood building
products surface coating facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 232.
Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 75,771.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $7,554,577, which includes $7,276,177
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $278,400 in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the burden hours in
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. 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; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall
burden.
There is an increase in costs for both the respondents and the
Agency from the most recently approved ICR. The increase in burden cost
is due to an increase in labor rates. This ICR uses updated labor rates
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate burden costs.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
