SUPPORTING STATEMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY


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 2115.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0535


1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract


The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing were proposed on April 4, 2002, and promulgated on December 11, 2003. Following several proposed amendments, a final rule was promulgated on October 4, 2006. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that manufacture a miscellaneous coating and are either located at, or are part of, major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. An affected source that commenced construction or reconstruction after April 4, 2002, is considered to be an affected source. “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 HAPs. A facility is subject to the NESHAP if it meets the following criteria:


  • 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;

  • Processes, uses, or produces HAP;

  • Not part of an affected source under another subpart of 40 CFR part 63.


New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH.


In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. 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.


Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 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 U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.


Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there is an average of one affected facilities at each plant site, and each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site).


Over the next three years, an average of 135 respondents per year will be subject to the standard, and one additional respondent per year will become subject to the standard.


The active (previous) ICR had the following Terms of Clearance (TOC):


When this ICR is renewed, EPA should review the respondent burden,

universe, labor rates, and capital costs and ensure these estimates

have been updated.


EPA has addressed each item of concern in the TOC by consulting with industry representatives to review and update the respondent universe and burden estimates. Costs were updated as described in Section 6 of this supporting statement.


The respondents to this ICR (the “Affected Public) are publicly owned and operated miscellaneous coating manufacturing plants. None of the facilities are owned by either state, local and tribal agencies or the Federal government. The “burden” to respondents is calculated 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 either Federal employees or government contractors. This burden is calculated below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost − 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, HAP 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 was promulgated for this source category 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 were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also 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 standards. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standards 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 standard is 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, duplication does not exist.

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 (77 FR 63813) on October 17, 2012. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.


3(c) Consultations


The Agency has consulted industry experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years. 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 EPA’s Office of Compliance. OTIS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. We estimate that there are 135 existing respondents subject to the reporting requirements of this standard, and that one new source will become 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 standards as they were being developed and these standards have been reviewed previously to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. In developing this ICR, the Agency contacted: 1) the American Coatings Association (ACA), at (202) 462-8731; and 2) the Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC), at (301) 986-9700. EPA did not receive any comments from these consultations.


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. 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 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 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.

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 still not widely used. At this time, it is estimated that approximately 20 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.


(ii) Respondent Activities


Respondent Activities

Read instructions.

Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate opacity and/or parameter monitors.

Perform initial performance test 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.

Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information.

Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information.


Currently, sources are using monitoring and reporting equipment that provide 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

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 Online Tracking Information System (OTIS).


5(b) Collection Methodology and Management


Following the notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source 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. The 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 OTIS which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. OTIS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government-owned facilities. EPA uses the OTIS 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


A 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 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


Table1 below 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. Where 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 171,406 hours (Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below). 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 $121.44 ($57.83+ 110%)

Technical $100.23 ($47.73 + 110%)

Clerical $50.51 ($24.05 + 110%)


These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2012, “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 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 monitors and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $2,848,500. 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 $2,878,500 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. EPA's overall 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 $38,038.


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


Managerial $62.27 (GS-13, Step 5, $38.92 + 60%)

Technical $46.21 (GS-12, Step 1, $28.88 + 60%)

Clerical $25.01 (GS-6, Step 3, $15.63 + 60%)


These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2012 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 below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – 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 135 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that one additional respondent per year will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 135 per year.


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

The total annual labor costs are $16,597,393. 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).


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 below, respectively, and summarized below.


(i) Respondent Tally


The total annual labor hours are 171,406 hours at a cost of $16,597,393. 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).


Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 295 hours per response.


The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $2,878,500. 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 the next three years is estimated to be 844 labor hours at a cost of $38,038. See Table 2 below: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHH) (Renewal).


6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden


There is an adjustment increase in the respondent burden hours and costs as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The adjustment increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to a projected growth in the respondent universe, which results in an increase in the total number of sources, as well as updated labors rates available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The growth in respondent universe also results in an increase in the total O&M costs.


There is also a decrease in the EPA burden hours and costs due to a correction in this ICR. The previous ICR assumed that all existing sources have submitted an emission averaging plan, but it incorrectly presented the EPA burden for the annual review of emission averaging plans. This ICR corrects this inconsistency, which results in a decrease in Agency burden.


6(g) Burden Statement


The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 295 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.
