NESHAP for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHH) (Renewal)
1. Identification of the Information Collection
1(a) Title of the Information Collection
NESHAP for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHH) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 2115.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0535
1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract
Respondents are owners or operators of new and existing facilities that manufacture a miscellaneous coating and are either located at, or are part of, major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. “Major source” means that the process equipment used to manufacture the miscellaneous coatings and any other operations or equipment at the facility emit, or have the potential to emit, 10 tons per year or more of a single HAP or 25 tons per year or more of any combination of HAP. A facility is subject to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing if it meets the following criteria:
1. Manufactures coatings, including inks, paints, or adhesives described by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 285, or 289, or North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes 3255, or 3259;
2. Processes, uses, or produces HAP;
3. Not part of an affected source under another subpart of 40 CFR part 63.
An average of approximately 132 existing miscellaneous coating manufacturing respondents will be subject to the standard over the next three years. The number of respondents is expected to grow about two percent over the next three years (0.67 percent per year) which adds approximately one respondent per year to the inventory. An annual average of approximately 133 respondents would be subject to the standard over the three-year period covered by this ICR.
Owners or operators of miscellaneous coating manufacturing facilities subject to the standard must choose one of the compliance options described in the standard, or install and monitor control systems that reduce HAP emissions to the allowable emission rate. Specifically, owners, or operators are required to install, operate, and maintain a continuous monitoring system (CMS) to demonstrate compliance with the emission limitations in Tables 1 through 3 and 5 through 6 in the standard and the operating limits in Table 7; and they also must record the values of equipment operating parameters as specified in Table 7. Owners, or operators are required to conduct equipment inspections and equipment leak monitoring to demonstrate compliance with the work practice standards in Tables 1 through 5.
Also, miscellaneous coating manufacturing facilities are subject to the general provisions at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A which apply to all NESHAP subject facilities. These requirements include those associated with the applicability determinations; notifications that the facilities are subject to the rule; notifications of performance tests; notifications of compliance status, including the results of performance tests and design evaluations; and semiannual compliance reports. In addition to the requirements of subpart A, many respondents are required to submit a precompliance report and leak detection and repair (LDAR) reports; and existing facilities that wish to implement emissions averaging provisions must submit an emissions averaging plan.
All reports are to be submitted to the respondent’s state, or local agency, or to the EPA regional office, whichever has been delegated enforcement authority by EPA. The information is used to determine whether or not all sources subject to the rule are achieving the emission limitations and work practice standards in the rule.
If the owner, or operator identifies any deviation from an emission limitation or work practice standard, a compliance report must be submitted that includes all records that the source is required to maintain that pertain to the periods during which such deviation occurred, as well as data regarding: the magnitude of each deviation; the reason for each deviation; a description of the corrective action taken for each deviation, including action taken to minimize each deviation and actions taken to prevent a recurrence; and a copy of all quality assurance activities performed on any monitoring protocol.
Owners, or operators of a miscellaneous coating manufacturing facility must maintain a copy of all monitored equipment operating parameter values that demonstrate compliance with the operating limits in the rule, as well as records of inspections and results of equipment leak monitoring that demonstrate compliance with the work practice standards in the rule. Also, owners, or operators are required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of a source, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Those records must be maintained for a minimum of five years. At a minimum, the most recent two years of data must be retained onsite. The remaining three years of data may be retained offsite.
A previous Information Collection Request (ICR) incorrectly identifies “Federal Government” and “State, Local, or Tribal Government” as part of the “Affected Public.” The “Affected Public” is comprised entirely of “Business, or other for profit” entities as described in the previous approved ICR renewal.
The OMB approved the current ICR without any ”Terms of Clearance.”
The burden to the “Affected Public” may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHH) (Renewal). The burden to the “Federal government” is attributed entirely to work performed by Federal employees or government contractors; this burden may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden - NESHAP for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHH) (Renewal).
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 hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new, or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner/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, emissions from miscellaneous coating manufacturers cause, or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health, or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing was promulgated at 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH.
2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data
The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which where promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information also 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 requirements. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance at all times.
The notifications required in the standards are used to inform the Agency, or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the standard. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated and the standards are being met. The performance test also may be observed.
The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.
3. Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria
The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH.
3(a) Non-duplication
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 its 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 at 74 FR 32580 on July 8, 2009. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.
3(c) Consultations
An industry consultation was conducted with Carolyn A. Wacker, (651) 737-3627, Specialist, Environmental Engineer, 3M Company. The 3M Company has five facilities that are complying with applicable requirements of this NESHAP. 3M estimated that the burden hours to the five facilities for ongoing compliance activities (Table 1, burden items 3C for semiannual reports excluding emissions averaging, items 4H and 4I) would not exceed the EPA estimates. The cost for LDAR and reporting is 100 to 200 hours per 3M facility; this ICR indicates 250 hours are spent for the same activities. Generally, the 3M estimates confirm the burden hour estimates in this ICR. One 3M facility contracts out the LDAR monitoring. The contractor cost to this facility is $1,300 higher based on the EPA hourly rate for 30 hours.
In addition to an industry-based consultation, the Agency’s industry experts have been consulted during a previous renewal of this ICR. Our internal data sources and the Agency’s projections for industry growth over the next three years were also considered. Our most relevant data source was the Air Facility System (AFS) which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. AFS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry was based on our consultations with the Agency’s internal industry experts. An annual average of approximately 133 respondents would 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 carefully review any comments received since the last ICR renewal including those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice and respond appropriately. In this case, no comments were received.
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
These reporting and recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 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, monitor any pattern of non-compliance, and determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond 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
The reporting and recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions.
4. The Respondents and the Information Requested

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 |
Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry. |
Audit facility records. |
Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Air Facility System (AFS). |
5(b) Collection Methodology and Management
Following the notification of startup, the reviewing authority may inspect the affected facility to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source’s initial capability to comply with the emission standard. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. Immediate startup, shutdown and malfunction notifications and reports alert the Agency to atypical operations conditions which result in violations of the emission limitations. Semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
Information contained in the reports is entered into the Air Facility System (AFS), which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. AFS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government-owned facilities. EPA uses the AFS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.
The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five years.
5(c) Small Entity Flexibility
Based on review of the following sources: Final Rule (71 FR 58499); Proposed Rule (71 FR 28639); Summary of Public Comments and Responses (EPA 450/R-02-XXXX, August 2003); and the Implementation Tool for the Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing NESHAP (EPA-305-B-06-003, Sept. 2006), an estimate of the number of small entities affected by this rule could not be determined.
Based on the previous ICR renewal, there are few, if any, small entities (i.e., small businesses) affected by this regulation. However, any impact on small entities was taken into consideration during the development of the standard. Generally, only major sources of pollution are regulated under the standard.
5(d) Collection Schedule
The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH) (Renewal).
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 respondents. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory.
6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden
Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the respondents. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified.
6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs
(i) Estimating Labor Costs
This ICR uses the following labor rates:
Managerial $100.99 ($48.09 + 110%)
Technical $87.97 ($41.89 + 110%)
Clerical $43.81 ($20.86 + 110%)
These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, December, 2005, ”Table 2. Civilian Workers, 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 types of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the 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 that occur when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitors and include other costs, such as photocopying and postage.

The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are $30,000. This is the total of column D in the above table. The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $2,785,200. 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 $2,815,000 per year.
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 the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information.
The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $41,417.
This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:
Managerial $57.20 (GS-13, Step 5, $35.75 x 1.6)
Technical $42.45 (GS-12, Step 1, $26.53 x 1.6)
Clerical $22.96 (GS-6, Step 3, $14.35 x 1.6)
These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) ”2006 General Schedule“ which excludes locality rates of pay. Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden - NESHAP for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH) (Renewal).
6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs
Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three years, approximately 9 of the 132 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that one additional respondent per year will become subject over the three-year period covered by this ICR.
The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

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 annual labor hours are 167,572 per year over the three years of this ICR. The total annual labor costs are $14,192,714. The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 296 hours per response. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH) (Renewal).
The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $2,815,200. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.
(ii) The Agency Tally
The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 1,001 labor hours at a cost of $41,416. See below Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden - NESHAP for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH) (Renewal)
6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden
There is no change in the calculation methodology for labor hours or costs to the respondents 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 respondents is very low, negative, or non-existent. Therefore, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the respondents and are reiterated in this ICR.
In the previous ICR renewal, the total respondent burden approved in the “Notice of Office of Management and Budget Action” was 167,832 hours. This burden does not match the total burden as calculated below in Table 1 of the Supporting Statement. This ICR uses the same calculation methodology as the past ICR renewal. This renewal requests approval of 167,572 hours—260 less hours than previously approved.
6(g) Burden Statement
The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 296 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; 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 regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OECA-2009-0405. An electronic version of the public docket is available at http://www.regulations.gov/ which may be used to obtain a copy of the draft collection of information, submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the docket, and to access those documents in the public docket that are available electronically.
