Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart A) and any changes, or additions to the Provisions are specified at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart TTT. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial notification report, performance tests, periodic reports, and 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. Reports are also required semiannually.

Form Numbers: None.

Respondents/affected entities: Facilities that perform industrial surface coating on plastic parts for business machines.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart TTT).

Estimated number of respondents: 10 (total).

Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly and semiannually.

Total estimated burden: 992 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $99,700 (per year). There are no annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the respondent burden from the most recently approved ICR. The increase in respondent labor hour is caused by a change in assumption; in this ICR, we assume all existing sources will take some time each year to re-familiarize themselves with the rule requirements.
