Title: NESHAP for Metal Furniture Surface Coating (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1952.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0518.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2012.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either 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
RRRR.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-
time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial
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 are also 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: Metal furniture surface coating
facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 583.
Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 190,408.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $22,472,732, which includes
$21,773,132 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $699,600 in
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor 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; (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or
non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden.
However, there is an increase in the cost-per-hour labor costs due to
the updated labor rates. This ICR uses the most recently available
labor rates in all burden calculations.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
