The New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) for the Graphic Arts Industry (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart QQ)
were proposed on October 28, 1980, and promulgated on November 8,
1982. The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions
of the NSPS at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart A and any changes, or
additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart
QQ. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an
initial notification, 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 required semiannually at a minimum.
There is an adjustment increase
in the total estimated burden and cost as currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to
any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates
occurred for two reasons: 1) this ICR assumes all existing
respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory
requirements each year; and 2) the burden has increased due an
increase in the estimated number of sources subject to the
standard. The number of sources has increased by one since the last
ICR to account for industry growth in the past three years.
