Abstract: Respondents are owners or
operators of facilities performing
polymeric coating of supporting
substrates. NSPS Subpart VVV applies
to each coating operation and any onsite mix preparation equipment used to
prepare coating for the polymeric
coating of supporting substrates, which
commences construction, modification,
or reconstruction after April 30, 1987.
The rule establishes standards for VOC
use, emission reduction limits, and
capture and recovery of VOC emissions.
The recordkeeping, monitoring, and
reporting requirements allow the
regulatory agencies to determine
compliance with the standard.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Owners or operators of facilities
performing polymeric coating of
supporting substrates.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, Subpart
VVV).
Estimated number of respondents: 59
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
quarterly, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 13,667 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,995,496 (per
year), includes $657,500 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
adjustment increase in the total
estimated burden, capital/startup, and
O&M costs as currently identified in the

OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens.
This increase is due to industry growth
and is not due to any program changes.
There is an apparent decrease in the
Agency labor burden hours due to a
summation error in the most recently
approved ICR. This error resulted in the
overestimation of Agency burden. EPA
has identified and reconciled this
discrepancy during the preparation of
this ICR renewal, hence the apparent
burden decrease.

Abstract: EPA developed regulations
under the Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990 (CAA) regarding the use and
disposal of class I and class II ozonedepleting substances used as
refrigerants during the service,
maintenance, repair, or disposal of
refrigeration and air-conditioning
equipment. Section 608(c) of the CAA
states that it is unlawful for any person
in the course of maintaining, servicing,
repairing, or disposing of refrigeration
or air-conditioning equipment to
knowingly vent or otherwise knowingly
release or dispose of a class I or class II
substance used as a refrigerant in the
equipment in a manner which permits
the substance to enter the environment.
In 1993, EPA promulgated regulations
under section 608 of the CAA for the
recycling of ozone-depleting refrigerants
recovered during servicing and disposal
of air-conditioning and refrigeration
equipment (40 CFR part 82). The
regulations require persons servicing
refrigeration and air-conditioning
equipment to observe service practices
that reduce emissions of ozone
depleting refrigerants. The regulations

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:40 Oct 29, 2014

Jkt 235001

also establish certification programs for
technicians, recycling and recovery
equipment, and off-site refrigerant
reclaimers. In addition, EPA requires
that ozone depleting refrigerants
contained ‘‘in bulk’’ in appliances be
removed prior to disposal of the
appliances, and that all refrigeration and
air-conditioning equipment (except for
small appliances and room air
conditioners) be provided with a
servicing aperture that facilitates
recovery of the refrigerant. Moreover,
the Agency requires that substantial
refrigerant leaks in equipment be
repaired when discovered. These
regulations significantly reduce
emissions of ozone depleting
refrigerants and therefore aid efforts to
minimize damage to the ozone layer.
To facilitate compliance with section
608, EPA requires reporting and record
keeping for technicians; technician
certification programs; equipment
testing organizations; refrigerant
wholesalers and purchasers; refrigerant
reclaimers; refrigeration and airconditioning equipment owners; and
other establishments that perform
refrigerant removal, service, or disposal.
These reporting and recordkeeping
requirements help EPA evaluate the
effectiveness of refrigerant regulations
and reduce emissions of ozonedepleting substances.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
that recover, recycle, reclaim, sell or
distribute in interstate commerce ozonedepleting refrigerants that contain
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs);
those that service, maintain, repair, or
dispose of appliances containing CFC or
HCFC refrigerants; and those that own
or operate appliances containing more
than 50 pounds of CFC or HCFC
refrigerants.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory.
Estimated number of respondents:
883,680.
Frequency of response: Primarily
annually, with the exception of
technician testing organizations that are
required to report biannually.
Total estimated burden: 320,537
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $14,202,991,
which includes no capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
slight increase in the average annual
burden hours currently identified in the
current OMB Inventory of Approved
