In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved for three years. As terms of clearance, upon renewal of this collection, EPA is required to include the following in its supporting statement for this and other NESHAP ICRs: (1) a description of the regulatory text applicable to the ICR including submission specifications; (2) a clear description of the data elements being collected under the ICR; (3) screen shots of the electronic portal where the reporting requirements are submitted to EPA (with the control number and burden statement); (4) a detailed discussion of how information is submitted and the extent to which electronic reporting is available; (5) evidence of consultation with respondents (by actively reaching out to stakeholders as permitted by the PRA) to ensure the supporting statement's accuracy on availability of data, frequency of collection, clarity of instructions, accuracy of burden estimate, relevance of data elements, and similar PRA matters; and (6) discussion of how EPA addressed substantive concerns raised by respondents and other stakeholders during consultation and in response to
comments received on FR notices. In addition, please convert the supporting statement to the standard 18 question SS-A format upon renewal.

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Automobile and Light-duty Truck Surface Coating were proposed on December 24, 2002, promulgated on April 26, 2004, and amended on December 22, 2006 and April 24, 2007. The NESHAP is codified at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart IIII. This supporting statement addresses information collection activities that will be imposed by the NESHAP for Automobile and Light-duty Truck Surface Coating, including activities added based on the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA).
The NESHAP for Automobile and Light-duty Truck Surface Coating applies to each new and existing affected source of HAP emissions at facilities that are major sources and that perform surface coating operations on automobiles and light-duty trucks. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after December 24, 2002.
As part of the RTR for the NESHAP for Automobile and Light-duty Truck Surface Coating, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not revising the emission limit requirements. The EPA is requiring periodic air emissions testing to measure organic HAP destruction or removal efficiency at the inlet and outlet of the add-on control device, or control device outlet concentration of organic HAP, once every 5 years for existing and new surface coating affected sources using the emission rate with add-on controls compliance option. The EPA is revising the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule and requiring the use of electronic data reporting for future performance test data submittals, notifications, and reports. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart IIII.
There is an increase in the labor hours per respondent in this ICR as compared to the curretnly approved ICR. This increase is due to four considerations: 1) an increased labor burden of 4 hours in year one to become familiar with the amended rules, 2) an increased labor burden of 8 hours in year one to re-evaluating previously developed SSM record systems, 3) an increased labor burden of 8 hours in year one to become familiar with CEDRI and the electronic reporting form for the semiannual report, and 4) an increased labor burden of 42 hours for five respondents in year three for conducting a performance test and reporting the results.
There is an increase in the capital/startup costs as compared with the costs in the currently approved ICR. The requirement for periodic performance testing requires five existing facilities to conduct a performance test on five add-on control devices, with an estimate of zero tests being repeated. The five performance tests are estimated to cost $19,000 each. These facilities are not currently required to perform testing as a condition of their part 70 operating permits.
