Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart QQ) for the Graphic Arts Industry were proposed on October 28, 1980; promulgated on November 8, 1982; and most-recently amended on April 9, 2004. These regulations apply to each publication rotogravure printing press (not including proof presses) commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart QQ. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of Respondents subject to the rule from 21 in the previous ICR to 22 in this ICR, which in turn increased labor hours. One revision was made to the calculation of respondent burden. The labor burden for facilities to familiarize with regulation requirements was revised from 1 hour per source per year to 3 hours per source per year. This change was made in response to industry comments that facilities may require outside technical consultation and require more than 1 hour to familiarize and re-familiarize with the rule. No other changes were made to the burden estimates as the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years.
