    Abstract: Owners and operators of polymeric coating of supporting 
substrates facilities are required to comply with reporting and record 
keeping requirements for the General Provisions of 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart A, as well as for the applicable specific standards in 40 CFR 
part 60 Subpart VVV. This includes submitting initial notifications, 
performance tests and periodic reports and results, and maintaining 
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 reports are 
used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Polymeric coating of supporting 
substrates facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart VVV).
    Estimated number of respondents: 74 (total).
    Frequency of response: Quarterly and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 16,400 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,770,000 (per year), which includes 
$826,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. This is due to an increase in the number of 
respondents subject to the rule. An examination of EPA's Enforcement 
and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database indicated that there are 
72 sources currently reporting under NSPS Subpart VVV, an increase of 
10 sources from the previous ICR. The regulations have not changed over 
the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next 
three years. The increase in the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs 
is due to the increase in the number of respondents performing 
monitoring activities. The rate of increase in the number of new 
respondents remains steady at one new source per year, so the capital/
startup cost will not increase.
