    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Metal 
Coil Surface Coating (40 CFR part 60, subpart TT) 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 
NSPS standards require initial notification reports, 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 TT.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Metal coil surface coating 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart TT).
    Estimated number of respondents: 158 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, occasionally, 
semiannually, and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 16,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,950,000 (per year), which includes 
$170,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the respondent 
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. 
The increase is attributed to several adjustments: (1) This renewal 
allows time for each source to re-familiarize themselves with the rule 
requirements each year; (2) this renewal adjusted the frequency of 
recordkeeping requirements to match the requirements in the rule; and 
(3) this renewal assumed 10 percent of the sources would have excess 
emissions and would have to report quarterly instead of semi-annually.
    There is a decrease in the capital and O&M costs currently 
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The decrease is 
attributed to an adjustment. The previous renewal had estimated O&M 
costs related to temperature monitoring for all sources; however, only 
80 percent of the sources are anticipated to comply with the rule using 
incineration.
