    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart QQQQ apply to existing facilities and new facilities that 
perform surface coating of wood building products where the total 
Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) emitted are greater than or equal to 10 
tons per year of any one HAP, or where the total HAPs emitted are 
greater than or equal to 25 tons per year of any combination of HAPs, 
that use at least 4,170 liters (1,100 gallons) of coatings annually. In 
general, all NESHAP 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 NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: 5900-594.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of wood 
building products surface coating facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart QQQQ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 57 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 20,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,470,000 (per year), includes $4,800 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most 
recently approved ICR is not due to any program changes. The increase 
is due to an adjustment(s). The change in the burden and cost estimates 
occurred because the most recent amendments to the standard have been 
in effect for more than three years and the requirements are different 
during initial compliance as compared to on-going compliance. The 
previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the 
initial activities for subject facilities, including initial 
performance tests and associated notifications. This ICR, by in large, 
reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities. This 
ICR also updates the labor burden for facilities to familiarize 
themselves with the rule and process and review information each year, 
and includes burden for preparation and submittal of excess emissions 
reports with the semiannual report. The capital/startup vs. operation 
and maintenance (O&M) costs have decreased due to a more accurate 
estimate of the number of sources using add-on controls with CPMS.
