The NESHAP for Boat Manufacturing (40
CFR Part 63, Subpart VVVV) covers resin and gel coat operations at
fiberglass boat manufacturers, paint and coating operations at
aluminum boat manufacturers, and carpet and fabric adhesive
operations at all boat manufacturers. Owners or operators of boat
manufacturing facilities are required to submit initial
notification, performance tests, and periodic reports. Respondents
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. Semiannual reports are also required. These
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining
compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to
NESHAP.
There is no change in the labor
hours 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. However, there is an adjustment increase in the
respondent burden costs due to an increase in labor rate. This ICR
uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to
calculate burden costs. This ICR also rounds all calculated total
values to 3 significant figures.
