    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Metal 
Furniture Coating 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in 
determining compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart EE.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Metal furniture surface coating 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart EE).
    Estimated number of respondents: 400 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, and 
semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 56,500 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $7,280,000 (per year), which includes 
$840,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the burden in this 
ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations: 
(1) The regulations have not changed over the past three years and are 
not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth 
rate for the industry is very low, negative or non-existent, so there 
is no significant change in the overall burden.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
