Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products 
Surface Coating (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Plastic Parts and 
Products Surface Coating (EPA ICR Number 2044.07, OMB Control Number 
2060-0537), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a 
proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through

Federal Register, on May 30, 2018 during a 60-day comment period. This 
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller 
description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden 
and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and 
a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before July 26, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OECA-2012-0688, to: (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating (40 
CFR part 63, subpart PPPP) were proposed on: December 4, 2002; 
promulgated on April 19, 2004; and amended on April 24, 2007. These 
regulations apply to both existing and new facilities that perform 
surface coating of plastic parts and products, and that use at least 
100 gallons of HAP-containing coatings annually, and where the 
potential to emit any single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) is greater 
than or equal to 10 tons per year, or where the potential to emit any 
combination of HAPS is greater than or equal to 25 tons per year. New 
facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or 
reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPP.
    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: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Existing and new facilities that: 
Perform surface coating of plastic parts and products and that use at 
least 100 gallons of HAP-containing coatings annually, and where the 
potential to emit any single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) is greater 
than or equal to 10 tons per year, or where the potential to emit any 
combination of HAPS is greater than or equal to 25 tons per year.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart PPPP).
    Estimated number of respondents: 223 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 86,400 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $9,910,000 (per year), which includes $66,900 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The 
adjustment decrease in burden from the most recently-approved ICR is 
due to a decrease in the number of existing major sources subject to 
this rule. The EPA's records indicate that there are currently 223 
major sources subject to this NESHAP; the previous estimate of 836 
major sources was based on the Final Rule for this NESHAP in 2004. The 
revised estimate is also supported by preliminary data collected for 
the NESHAP Risk and Technology Review. This decrease in the estimated 
number of sources results in decreases in the respondent labor hours, 
total O&M costs, and number of responses.
