The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Metal Coil Surface Coating (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart TT) apply to the following surface coating lines in the metal coil surface coating industry: each prime coat operation; each finish coat operation; and each prime and finish coat operation cured simultaneously, where the finish coat is applied wet-on-wet over the prime coat. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notification reports, 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 with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart TT.
There is an increase in the respondent and Agency burdens and the number of responses currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The increase is attributed to several adjustments: 1) this renewal allows time for each source to re-familiarize themselves with the rule requirements each year; 2) this renewal adjusted the frequency of recordkeeping requirements to match the requirements in the rule. (Daily records are required for temperature for units using incinerator while monthly records of data used to support VOC calculations are required for sources that do not use an incinerator); 3) this renewal assumed 10 percent of the sources would have excess emissions and would have to report quarterly instead of semi-annually; and 4) this ICR uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and OPM to calculate the respondent and Agency cost burdens, respectively.
There is a decrease in the capital and O&M costs currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The decrease is attributed to an adjustment. The previous renewal had estimated O&M costs related to temperature monitoring for all sources; however, only 80 percent of the sources are anticipated to comply with the rule using incineration.
