    Title: NSPS for Metal Coil Surface Coating (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0660.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0107.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on February 28, 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: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the 
regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart TT were proposed on 
January 5, 1981 and promulgated on November 1, 1982. These regulations 
apply to the following surface coating lines in the metal coil surface 
coating industry: each prime coat operation, each finish coat 
operation, and each prime and finish coat operation cured 
simultaneously where the finish coat is applied wet on wet over the 
prime coat.
    In general, all New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) require 
initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners 
or operators 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 sources 
subject to NSPS.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 41 
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: Owners or operators of metal coil 
surface coating facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 158
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and 
annually
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 15,643
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,594,680, which is comprised of 
$331,800 in Operations and Maintenance (O&M) cost, $1,262,880 in annual 
labor costs, and no capital/startup costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a change of $200 in the total 
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved 
ICR Burdens since the O&M cost, which was previously rounded to the 
nearest thousand, has been actually reduced by $200.00.

    Dated: October 23, 2008.
