Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Boat Manufacturing (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Boat Manufacturing 
(EPA ICR Number 1966.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0546) 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,

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.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Boat Manufacturing (40

[[Page 65382]]

CFR part 63, subpart VVVV) apply to both existing and new boat 
manufacturing facilities that are a major source of hazardous air 
pollutant (HAP) emissions. This regulation covers resin and gel coat 
operations at fiberglass boat manufacturers, paint and coating 
operations at aluminum boat manufacturers, and carpet and fabric 
adhesive operations at all boat manufacturers. Air toxics are released 
during application and curing from the resins, gel coats, adhesives, 
coating, and solvents used in boat manufacturing. New facilities 
include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the 
date of proposal. The EPA proposed revised standards to the NESHAP for 
Boat Manufacturing on May 17, 2019 (84 FR 22642); however, the proposed 
amendments have not been finalized; and therefore, the `Burden' 
reflected in this ICR does not consider `burden' from the proposed 
amendments, but is based on the existing standards.
    This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 
CFR part 63, subpart VVVV. 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: Boat manufacturing facilities.
    Respondent's Obligation To Respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart VVVV).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 93 (total).
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Total Estimated Burden: 21,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total Estimated Cost: $2,450,000 (per year), which includes $0 for 
annualized capital and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of respondents 
subject to these standards. This decrease is not due to any program 
changes. This ICR, by in large, reflects the on-going burden and costs 
for existing facilities. Additionally, this ICR removes operation and 
maintenance costs which were included in the most-recently approved ICR 
for one source using add-on controls. Based on a recent inventory, at 
this time all facilities are estimated to comply with the rule using 
compliant materials and no facilities operate add-on controls.
