The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Automobile and Light Duty Truck Surface Coating Operations were proposed on October 5, 1979, promulgated on December 24, 1980, and amended on October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to the following automobile and light duty truck assembly plant operations: each prime coat operation, guide coat operation, and top coat operation commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after October 5, 1979. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart MM.
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.
The change in burden from the previously approved estimates reflects the burden associated with proposed amendments to 40 CFR part 60, subpart MM as well as a change in the number of respondents for this source category. The increase in annual cost burden is due to the proposed electronic reporting requirements that are required. We anticipate these costs will decrease over time and result in a more efficient reporting process for the industry.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
