The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations at Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHH) have been finalized. These standards are part of EPAs Integrated Urban Strategy to reduce cancer risk from area sources under section 112(k)(3)(C) of the CAA. Affected sources will have to comply with recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the new rule.
This ICR includes the burden for activities that will be conducted in the first 3 years following promulgation of the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations at Area Sources. The owners or operators of facilities with these operations would read instructions to determine how they will be affected by the rule.
New and existing sources will also have to submit an initial notification. New sources will also be required to submit a notification of compliance status and an annual compliance report and maintain records. All surface coating sources will have to keep records demonstrating that spray painters have completed training. Existing paint stripping sources using more than 150 gallons per year of methylene chloride stripping solvent will need to complete a methylene chloride minimization plan and submit a notification of compliance status. Because the compliance date for existing sources is 3 years after the NESHAP is promulgated, other recordkeeping and reporting activities for existing sources do not begin until 3 years after promulgation. Therefore, they are not included in the burden estimate for the first 3 years.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
