Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants 
(Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Metal Coil Surface 
Coating Plants (EPA ICR Number 1957.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0487), 
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed

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 December 26, 
2018.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (40 CFR part 
63, subpart SSSS) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that 
are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) at which a coil 
coating line is operated. A coil coating line is a process in which 
special equipment is used to apply an organic coating to the surface of 
metal coils; the affected source at each plant site is the collection 
of all coil coating lines at the site. The provisions of this Subpart 
do not apply to coil coating lines that are part of research or 
laboratory equipment or coil coating lines on which at least 85 percent 
of the metal coil coated, based on surface area, is less than 0.15 
millimeters (0.006 inches) thick, unless the coating line is controlled 
by a common control device. New facilities include those that commenced 
construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal.
    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 with 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart SSSS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities engaged in metal coil 
surface coating.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 63, Subpart 
SSSS).
    Estimated number of respondents: 48 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 16,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,820,000 (per year), which includes $57,600 
in annualized capital/setup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease in the total 
estimated burden and the number of responses as currently identified in 
the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any 
program changes. The decrease is a result of an adjustment made to the 
estimated number of respondents based on data from internal Agency 
experts. The total number of respondents is significantly reduced since 
the last ICR renewal based on the delisting of methyl ethyl ketone as a 
HAP.
