SUPPORTING STATEMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart SSSS) (Renewal)

1. Identification of the Information Collection

1(a) Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart SSSS) (Renewal);

EPA ICR Number 1957.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0487

1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (40 CFR part 63, subpart SSSS) (Renewal), were proposed (65 FR 44616) on July 18, 2000, promulgated (67 FR 39812) on June 10, 2002, and amended (68 FR 12592) on March 17, 2003. Respondents are owners or operators of each new, reconstructed, or existing affected source. These standards apply to each facility that is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) at which a coil coating line is operated. The coil coating line is a process and the collection of equipment used to apply an organic coating to the surface of a metal coil that is less than 0.15 millimeters (0.006 inches) thick, and the coating line is controlled by a common control device that also receives organic HAP emissions from a coil coating line that is subject to the requirements of this subpart.

In general, all owners or operators subject to NESHAP are required to submit one-time notifications and one-time reports on compliance status and performance test results. They 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. These notifications, reports and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Semiannual reports are required for periods of operation during which the emission limitation is exceeded.

Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart will maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five 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 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.

Approximately 89 respondents are subject to the regulation, and it is estimated that no additional respondents per year will become subject to the regulation in the next three years.

All 89 metal coil surface coating plants in the United States are owned and operated by the metal coil surface coating industry (the “Affected Public”). All these 89 facilities are privately- owned, for-profit businesses; none of them are owned by state, local, tribal or the Federal government. The burden to the “Affected Public” is listed in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart SSSS) (Renewal). The Federal government burden associated with the review of reports submitted by the respondent is shown in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden - NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart SSSS) (Renewal).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active Information Collection Request (ICR) without any “Terms of Clearance.”

2. Need for and Use of the Collection

2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection

The EPA is charged under section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory of major sources and area sources of HAP. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of HAP and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner or operator subject to any requirement of this Act to:

(A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonably require.

In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from metal coil surface coating plants cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP was promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 63, subpart SSSS.

2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. In addition, the collected information is used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.

Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility’s initial capability to comply with the emission standard. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance tests, a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor.

The notifications required in the standard are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to ensure that the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated, that leaks are being detected and repaired, and that the standards are being met. The performance test may also be observed.

3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 63, subpart SSSS.

3(a) Nonduplication

If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated state or local agency. If a state or local agency has adopted their own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, no duplication exists.

3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register (72 FR 10735) on March 9, 2007. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.

3(c) Consultations

The Agency’s industry experts have been consulted, and the Agency’s internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next three years have been considered. The primary source of information as reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System (OTIS) which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. OTIS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency’s internal industry experts. Approximately 89 respondents will be subject to the standard over the three-year period covered by this ICR.

Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed, and the standard has been previously reviewed to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes.

It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register Notice.

3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection

Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequently, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.

3(e) General Guidelines

None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements violate any of the regulations established by OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.

These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards. EPA believes that the five-year records retention requirement is consistent with the Part 70 permit program and the five-year statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of records for five years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any pattern of non-compliance, and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond the five years. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records.

3(f) Confidentiality

Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B - Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

3(g) Sensitive Questions

None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements contain sensitive questions.

Maintain records of startup, shutdown, or malfunction plan	63.5180(f), 63.10(b)(2)
Maintain documentation of corrective action procedures	63.5180(f), 63.10(b)(2)

Electronic Reporting

Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site.

Also, regulatory agencies in cooperation with the respondents continue to create reporting systems to transmit data electronically. However, electronic reporting systems are not widely used. At this time, it is estimated that 35 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.

Respondent Activities

Read instructions.

Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a coil coating line at their metal coil surface coating plants.

Perform initial performance test, Reference Methods 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F, 2G, 3, 3A, 3B, 4, 25, 25A tests, and repeat performance tests if necessary.

Write the notifications and reports listed above.

Enter information required to be recorded above.

Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 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.

Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information.

Currently, sources are using monitoring equipment that provides parameter data in an automated way (e.g., continuous parameter monitoring system). Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping.

5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management

5(a) Agency Activities

EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.

Agency Activities

Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary.

Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.

Audit facility records.

Input, analyze, and maintain data in the OTIS.

5(b) Collection Methodology and Management

Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operational. Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source’s initial capability to comply with the emission standard, and note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs.

Information contained in the reports is entered into OTIS which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. OTIS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government-owned facilities. EPA uses OTIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices, and EPA headquarters. EPA-delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.

The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner or operator for five years.

5(c) Small Entity Flexibility

The majority of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the types of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small entities. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced.

5(d) Collection Schedule

The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden for NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart SSSS) (Renewal). (Attached.)

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this ICR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Wherever appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory.

The 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.

6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden

The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 19,901 (Total Labor Hours from Table 1). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously approved ICR, and any comments received.

6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs

(i) Estimating Labor Costs

This ICR uses the following labor rates:

Managerial $96.41 ($45.91 + 110%)

Technical $82.74 ($39.40 + 110%)

Clerical $42.25 ($20.12 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2004 “Table 10: Private Industry, by Occupational and Industry Group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total Compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs

The type of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard are both labor costs, which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR, and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are one-time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor and other costs, such as photocopying and postage.

(iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs

Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs
(A) Continuous Monitoring Device	(B) Capital/Startup Cost for One Respondent	(C) Number of New Respondents	(D) Total Capital/Startup Cost (B X C)	(E) Annual O&M Costs for One Respondent	(F) Number of Respondents with O&M 1	(G) Total O&M, (E X F)
Continuous monitoring system	N/A	N/A	$0	48	76	$3,648
			$0			$3,648

¹ There is an average of eighty-nine sources. Thirteen of these sources are considered synthetic minors and not subject to the emission limits in the standard.

The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are zero. This is the total of column D in the above table.

The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs consists of photocopying, and postage are $3,648. This is the total of column G.

The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $3,648. The average annual cost for labor costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $1,588,365.

6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported information. The EPA compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as: (1) the examination of records maintained by the respondents; periodic inspection of sources of emissions; and (2) the publication and distribution of collected information.

The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $19,842.

This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

Managerial $56.02 (GS-13, Step 5, $35.01 + 60%)

Technical $41.57 (GS-12, Step 1, $25.98 + 60%)

Clerical $22.50 (GS-6, Step 3, $14.06 + 60%)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2004 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. Details upon which this estimate is based appear in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden, NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart SSSS) (Renewal). (Attached.)

6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

Based on our research for this ICR, approximately 89 respondents will be subject to the standard the next three years. It is estimated that no additional sources per year will become subject to the standard. The average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 89 per year.

The number of respondents is calculated using the following table which addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

Number of Respondents
Year	(A) Number of New Respondents 1	(B) Number of Existing Respondents	(C) Number of Existing Respondents That Keep Records But Do Not Submit Reports	(D) Number of Existing Respondents That Are Also New Respondents	(E) Number of Respondents (E=A+B+C-D)
1	0	89	0	0	89
2	0	89	0	0	89
3	0	89	0	0	89
Average	0	89	0	0	89

¹ New respondents include sources with constructed, reconstructed and modified affected facilities.

To avoid double-counting respondents, column D is subtracted. As shown above, the average Number of Respondents over the three-year period of this ICR is 89.

The total number of annual responses per year is calculated using the following table:

Total Annual Responses
(A) Information Collection Activity	(B) Number of Respondents	(C) Number of Responses	(D) Number of Existing Respondents That Keep Records But Do Not Submit Reports	(E) Total Annual Responses E=(BxC)+D
Initial notification	0	1	0	0
Notification of construction/reconstruction	0	1	0	0
Notification of anticipated startup	0	1	0	0
Notification of actual startup	0	1	0	0
Notification of compliance status	0	1	0	0
Performance test notification	0	0.11	0	0
Performance test report	0	0.11	0	0
Semiannual report of exceedances	7.6	2	0	15.2
Semiannual report of no exceedances	68.4	2	0	136.8
Startup, shutdown, malfunction report	7.6	2	0	15.2
			Total	167

The number of Total Annual Responses is 167.

The total annual labor costs are $1,588,365. Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart SSSS). (Attached.)

6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours Burden Hours and Cost Tables

The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, and summarized below.

(i) Respondent Tally

The total annual labor costs are $1,588,365. Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart SSSS) (Renewal) (Attached.) Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 119 hours per response.

The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $3,648.

(ii) The Agency Tally

The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 489 labor hours at a cost of $19,842. See Table 2: Annual Agency Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart SSSS) (Renewal) (Attached.)

6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden

There is no change in the labor hours or cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. It should be noted that the previous ICR rounded the burden cost down to the nearest one thousand. In this ICR, the exact cost figure is reported which results in an apparent decrease in the cost when, in fact, no decrease has occurred.

Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous ICR are used in this ICR, and there is no change in burden to industry.

6(g) Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 119 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 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.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

Assumptions:

^a We have assumed that there are approximately eighty-nine respondents, with no additional new or reconstructed sources becoming subject to the rule over the next three years. Within those eighty-nine existing sources, only seventy-six are subject to the emission limits in the standard. The remaining thirteen respondents are permitted as synthetic minors and, therefore, are not subject to the emission limits in the standard.

^b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $96.41 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $82.74 per hour for Technical labor, and $42.25

per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 2004 “Table 10: Private Industry, by Occupational and Industry Group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total Compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

^c This is a one-time startup costs associated with initial compliance determination and acquisition, installation, and utilization of technology and systems needed to support recordkeeping and reporting. The one-time startup costs are amortized over the 15-year life of control equipment at 7 percent interest. For computational purposes, the number of occurrences per respondent per year is amortized over 15 years.

^d We have assumed that exceedances are reported semiannually.

^e We have assumed that 10 percent of respondents will report exceedances.

^f Reports indicating no exceedances are required semiannually.

^g We have assumed that 90 percent of respondents will report no exceedances.

^h We have assumed that 10 percent of respondents will file a startup, shutdown, malfunction report semiannually.

ⁱ We have assumed that all information is entered on a weekly basis.

^j We have assumed that each of the 76 respondents will take 15 minutes to transmit or disclose information twice a year.

Assumptions:

^a We have assumed that there are approximately eighty-nine respondents, with no additional new or reconstructed sources becoming subject to the rule over the next

three years. Within those eighty-nine existing sources, only seventy-six are subject to the emission limits in the standard. The remaining thirteen respondents are

permitted as synthetic minors and, therefore, are not subject to the emission limits in the standard.

^b This cost is based on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $56.02 for Managerial (GS-13, Step 5, $35.01 x 1.6), $41.57 for Technical (GS-12, Step 1, $25.98 x 1.6) and $22.50 Clerical (GS-6, Step 3, $14.06 x 1.6). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2004 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay.

^c It is assumed that 10 percent of respondents will report excess emissions.

^d It is assumed that reports of excess emissions are required semiannually.

^e We have assumed that 90 percent of respondents will report excess emissions.

^f It is assumed that reports of no excess emissions are required semiannually.

^g We have assumed that 10 percent of startup, shutdown, malfunction reports will be reviewed.
