    Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for National 
Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Automobile Refinish 
Coatings (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1765.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0353.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2007. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9,

[[Page 14276]]

and displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other 
appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or 
form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA 
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The EPA is required under section 183(e) of the Clean Air 
Act to regulate volatile organic compound emissions from the use of 
consumer and commercial products. Pursuant to section 183(e)(3), the 
EPA published a list of consumer and commercial products and a schedule 
for their regulation (60 FR 15264). Automobile refinish coatings were 
included on the list, and the standards for such coatings are codified 
at 40 CFR part 59, subpart B. The reports required under the standards 
enable EPA to identify all coating and coating component manufacturers 
and importers in the United States and to determine which coatings and 
coating components are subject to the standards, based on dates of 
manufacture.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3.5 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review 
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Manufacturers and importers of 
automobile refinish coatings and coating components.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 4.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 14.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $940 including $0 in capital or O&M 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated 
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 
Burdens.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
