    Title: NESHAP for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating 
Industry (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2034.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0510.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2009. 
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, 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 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP), for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating 
Industry, published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart QQQQ, were proposed on 
June 21, 2002, and promulgated on May 28, 2003. These regulations 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.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 109 
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 which have subsequently changed; 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: Wood building products surface 
coating facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 232.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.

[[Page 37033]]

    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 75,771
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $6,695,925, which includes $6,417,525 
in annual labor costs, $278,400 in O&M costs, and no total capital/
Startup costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a small change in the total 
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved 
ICR Burdens. This change is due to a correction in rounding of the 
currently approved burden. The new burden is $278,400, or $400 in 
additional burden above the currently approved burden.

    Dated: July 20, 2009.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
