    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Metal 
Furniture Coating were proposed on November 28, 1980; promulgated on 
October 29, 1982; and most-recently revised on October 17, 2000. These 
regulations apply to each metal furniture surface coating operation in 
which organic coatings are applied (greater than 3,842 liters of 
coating per year), commencing construction, modification, or 
reconstruction after November 28, 1980. 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. This information is being collected to assure compliance 
with 40 CFR part 60, subpart EE.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Metal furniture surface coating 
operations.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart EE).
    Estimated number of respondents: 42 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly and 
semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 5,940 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $791,000 (per year), which includes $88,200 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
total estimated burden from the most-recently approved ICR. This 
decrease is not due to any program changes. The adjustment decrease in 
burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the 
number of sources. The number of respondents has been adjusted 
downwards from the most-recently approved ICR to reflect a more 
accurate estimate of subject sources, based on data collected through 
EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database and a 
review of metal furniture facilities subject to other federal 
regulations. The decrease in the number of respondents also results in 
a decrease in the operation and maintenance costs. There are no new 
respondents anticipated in the next three years, therefore, there are 
no capital costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
