NESHAP for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating at Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHHH) (Amendments)

1. Identification of the Information Collection
1(a) Title of the Information Collection
NESHAP for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating at Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHHH) (Amendments), EPA ICR Number 2268.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0607.
1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract
      This supporting statement addresses information collection activities that will be imposed by amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating at Area Sources, 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHH, as part of the technology review for the NESHAP. These amendments were proposed by notice published in the Federal Register on November 19, 2021 (86 FR 66130). The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the EPA to review standards set under CAA section 112 every 8 years and revise the standards as necessary taking into account any "developments in practices, processes, or control technologies." This review is commonly referred to as the "technology review." The original NESHAP for the three area source categories covered by subpart HHHHHH were proposed on September 17, 2007 (72 FR 52958) and promulgated on January 9, 2008 (73 FR 1738). This subpart applies to each existing, new, or reconstructed affected source at facilities engaged in: paint stripping operations using methylene chloride (MeCl)-containing paint strippers; motor vehicle and mobile equipment surface coating operations; and miscellaneous surface coating operations. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after September 17, 2007. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHH.
In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required of all affected facilities subject to the NESHAP.
Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these documents and retain the file for at least 5 years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records. All reports required to be submitted electronically are submitted through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX), using the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI), where the delegated state or local authority can review them. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the EPA regional office can review them. All other reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. The use of the term "Designated Administrator" throughout this document refers to the U.S. EPA or a delegated authority such as a state agency. The term "Administrator" alone refers to the U.S. EPA Administrator.
The EPA is amending 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHH, including changes to electronic reporting requirements for all affected sources and provision of a simplified alternative to the petition for exemption process for motor vehicle or mobile equipment surface coating operations that do not spray apply any coatings that contain the target hazardous air pollutants (HAP), which for this regulation are: cadmium; chromium; lead; manganese; and nickel. The changes to the exemption process are expected to reduce burden, but the burden impact associated with these changes is not included in this document since the exemption process is optional. The EPA is also amending 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHH, to clarify text, remove outdated cross-references, and update filter test methods in the rule. In addition, EPA is acknowledging the elimination of the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption in this rule, consistent with revisions that were made to the General Provisions to ensure consistency with the decision in Sierra Club v. EPA, 551 F.3d 1019 (D.C. Cir. 2008). The remaining portions of the NESHAP remain unchanged. This information collection request (ICR) documents the recordkeeping and reporting requirements and incremental burden imposed by the amendments only. This ICR includes the burden for all activities that will be conducted in the first 3 years following promulgation of the amendments. The only amendments that affect recordkeeping and reporting are the changes to electronic reporting requirements and the simplified exemption process.
The "Affected Public" are owners or operators of paint stripping and miscellaneous surface coating operations at area sources. There are approximately 39,812 paint stripping and miscellaneous surface coating area sources. We assume that they will all respond. The burden to the "Affected Public" may be found in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost -- NESHAP for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating at Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHHH) (Amendments). Further, Tables 1a, 1b, and 1c break out separately the respondents' burden for commercial miscellaneous surface coating operations, government-owned miscellaneous surface coating operations, and paint stripping operations, respectively. The burden to the "Federal government" is attributed entirely to work performed by federal employees or government contractors and may be found in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost -- NESHAP for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating at Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHHH) (Amendments).
Over the next 3 years, approximately 39,812 respondents per year will be subject to the standard. This includes 1,593 new commercially owned motor vehicle and mobile equipment refinishing sources and 25 new miscellaneous surface coating sources that will start up each year over the next 3 years to replace an equivalent number of existing sources that terminate operations. This results in a total of 39,812 affected sources subject to this rule each year. Of these sources, 38,194 will be affected by the incremental burden associated with the amendments. These sources are the existing respondents subject to the rule in year 1; the incremental burden will not impact new sources.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active ICR without any "Terms of Clearance."
2. Need for and Use of the Collection
2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection
The EPA is charged under section 112 of the CAA, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of HAP and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, CAA section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Act to:
(A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonably require.
In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from paint stripping and miscellaneous surface coating area sources cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for the subject source categories at 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHH.
2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data
The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standards ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.
      The notifications required in the standards are used to inform the Agency or Designated Administrator when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The Designated Administrator may also use information to inform an inspection of the source to ensure that the standards are being met.
In order to minimize HAP emissions from paint stripping, motor vehicle and mobile equipment refinishing operations, and miscellaneous surface coating, facilities must comply with certain equipment requirements and management practices. The information generated by the recordkeeping and reporting requirements described in this ICR will be used by EPA to ensure that personnel who spray coatings are certified in the proper selection, mixing, and application of coatings. Additionally, the information will ensure that filters and spray guns at spray booths of affected facilities meet the minimum efficiency requirements. Further, this information will help EPA to maintain an updated inventory of all sources with paint stripping or surface coating operations.
There are no quarterly or semiannual requirements as there are with most regulated large industries. Adequate recordkeeping and reporting are necessary to ensure compliance with the standards, as required by the CAA. The information collected from recordkeeping and reporting requirements is also used for targeting inspections and is of sufficient quality to be used as evidence in court. To minimize the burden, much of the information which is kept on site could be reviewed by enforcement personnel during an inspection and would not need to be routinely reported to the Agency.
Additionally, the EPA is requiring electronic reporting for certain notifications or reports. The EPA is requiring that owners or operators of affected sources submit electronic copies of initial notifications required in 40 CFR 63.9(b) and change in information for major source to area source reclassification required in 40 CFR 63.9(j) through the CDX, using CEDRI. For the notifications required in 40 CFR 63.9(b) and 63.9(j), owners and operators would be required to upload a PDF of the required notifications. The EPA is proposing that owners and operators of affected sources also submit electronic copies of notifications of compliance status required in 40 CFR 63.9(h) and 63.11175(b), the annual notification of changes report required in 40 CFR 63.111176(a), and the MeCl minimization plan report required in 40 CFR 63.11176(b) through CDX using CEDRI.
3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria
The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHH.
3(a) Nonduplication
For reports required to be submitted electronically, the information is sent through the EPA's CDX, using CEDRI, where the appropriate EPA regional office can review it, as well as state and local agencies that have been delegated authority. If a state or local agency has adopted under its own authority its own standards for reporting or data collection, adherence to those non-federal requirements does not constitute duplication.
For all other reports, if the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated state or local agency. If a state or local agency has adopted its own standards to implement the federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist.
3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB
The EPA solicited public comment on the subject rule's information collection activities as part of the same notice in which the EPA proposed to revise the subject rule. That notice, "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations at Area Sources Technology Review, Proposed Rule," was published in the Federal Register on November 19, 2021 (86 FR 66130). The comment period closed on January 3, 2022, by which time the EPA received six comment submissions. Some of the comments concerned requirements related to petitions for exemption, periodic refresher training, or reporting requirements. After review and consideration of the comments, the EPA determined that no changes were needed to those requirements. The comments and the EPA's specific responses can be found in the preamble to the subject final rule or in the document, Summary of Public Comments and Responses for the Technology Review for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations at Area Sources National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, available in the docket for this rulemaking, Docket Number EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0016, accessible at https://regulations.gov.
3(c) Consultations
The Agency has consulted industry experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next 3 years. The primary source of information as reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS). ICIS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government-owned facilities.
      Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided with an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with these standards as they were being developed, and the existing standards have been previously reviewed to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. In developing this ICR, we consulted with internal experts at EPA's Office of Air Quality and Planning Standards (OAQPS).
3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection
Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequently, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.
3(e) General Guidelines
These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.
These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least 5 years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards. EPA believes that the 5-year records retention requirement is consistent with the operating permits program under 40 CFR part 70 and the 5-year statute of limitations on which the permits program is based. The retention of records for 5 years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any pattern of noncompliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond 5 years. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records.
3(f) Confidentiality
Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B -- Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).
3(g) Sensitive Questions
The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions.

Source compliance assessments performed in support of the initial notification, notification of compliance status, or annual notification of changes report
§ 63.11177(h)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[a] If a source has a type of filter that is not polyester or fiberglass, it is assumed that these records may be required. It is also assumed that the manufacturer of the alternative filter would perform the test. The only burden on the source would be recordkeeping (i.e., maintaining a file of the filter efficiency, as reported by the manufacturer).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b These records only are required of sources that do not use high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) spray guns, electrostatic applications, airless spray guns, or air assisted airless spray guns, and that instead opt to conduct testing to verify a transfer efficiency equivalency to that of an HVLP spray gun.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[c] The minimization plan is only required of sources with paint stripping operations that have an annual usage of more than one ton of methylene chloride.
Electronic Reporting
Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site.
The regulations at 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHH, were amended to include certain electronic reporting provisions on November 19, 2020 (85 FR 73854). Under those amendments, respondents are required to use the EPA's Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI) to submit notifications in the event of reclassification to area source status and of sources that revert back to major source status. CEDRI can be accessed through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) (https://cdx.epa.gov/). The notifications are one-time notifications already required in 40 CFR 63.9(j) in the case where the facility is notifying of a change in major source status and is an upload of the currently required notification as a portable document format (PDF) file. Under the amendments of the subject rule, respondents will also be required to submit electronic copies of the other required notifications and reports through the EPA's CEDRI. These notifications and reports are uploads of their currently required notifications and reports in portable document format (PDF) file. For purposes of this ICR, it is assumed that there will be no additional burden associated with the requirement for respondents to submit the notifications and reports electronically. The only burden associated with these requirements is the burden on all respondents to become familiar with CEDRI in the first year following promulgation of the amendments.
Electronic copies of records may also be maintained in order to satisfy federal recordkeeping requirements. For additional information on the Paperwork Reduction Act requirements for CEDRI and ERT for this rule, see: https://www.epa.gov/electronic-reporting-air-emissions/paperwork-reduction-act-pra-cedri-and-ert.

5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management
5(a) Agency Activities
EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.
                               Agency Activities

Review initial letters, notifications of compliance status, and annual reports.
Audit facility records.
Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) and ICIS.
5(b) Collection Methodology and Management
Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs.
Information contained in the reports is reported by state and local governments in the ICIS Air database, which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. ICIS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government-owned facilities. EPA uses ICIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices, and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated authorities can edit, store, retrieve, and analyze the data.
The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for 5 years.
5(c) Small Entity Flexibility
A majority of the respondents are small entities (i.e., small businesses). In comparison to other rules, this rule's reporting requirements are relatively minimal because of the large percentage of small entities among entities that are likely to be affected by this rule. There are no quarterly or semiannual requirements as there are with most regulated large industries. The burden is also relatively minimal because costly monitoring equipment or performance tests are not required. For this ICR, it is estimated that of the existing sources, 93.5 percent (37,224 sources) are small businesses.
5(d) Collection Schedule
It is anticipated that owners/operators at all facilities will read the rule in year 1. The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown at the end of this document in Tables 1 through 4: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost -- NESHAP for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating at Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHHH) (Amendments).
6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection
Tables 1 through 4 document the computation of the individual burden for each of the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this ICR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory.
The Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden
The total burden to industry over 3 years following promulgation of the amendments is estimated to be 132,000 hours, as shown in Tables 1 through 4. This is a one-time burden in year 1 to familiarize with the rule revisions and the associated electronic reporting system. These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the amendments to this NESHAP, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, and related ICRs.
6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs
(i) Estimating Labor Costs
This ICR uses the following labor rates:
Managerial
$153.55 ($73.12 + 110%)
Technical
$122.20 ($58.19 + 110%)
Clerical
$61.51 ($29.29 + 110%)
These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2021, "Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group." The rates are from column 1, "Total compensation." The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs
Following promulgation of the amendments, the only costs to the regulated industry resulting from information collection activities required by the subject standard will be labor costs. There will be no capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs. Currently, the industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard are both labor costs and operation and maintenance costs associated with photocopying and postage for notifications and reports. There are no capital/startup costs. Since the affected sources will be required to submit notifications and reports electronically, photocopying and postage will not be necessary, and there will no longer be operation and maintenance costs following promulgation of the amendments.
(iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs
Below are the estimated capital and startup costs and O&M costs for the respondents subject to 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHH for each of the first 3 years after promulgation of the amendments.

 [a] This ICR assumes that 20% of respondents will submit a notification of changes report each year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 [b] Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are $0. This is the total of column D in the above table.
The total operation and maintenance (O&M) incremental costs as a result of the amendments for this ICR are a savings of $27,100. This is the total of column G.
The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next 3 years of the ICR is estimated to be a savings of $27,100. These are recordkeeping costs.
6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost
The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information.
The average annual Agency incremental cost as a result of the amendments during the 3 years of the ICR is estimated to be $0.
This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:
Managerial
$69.04 (GS-13, Step 5, $43.15 + 60%)
Technical
$51.23 (GS-12, Step 1, $32.02 + 60%)
Clerical
$27.73 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.33 + 60%)
These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2021 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. Details upon which this estimate is based appear at the end of this document in Tables 5 through 8: Annual EPA Burden and Cost -- NESHAP for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating at Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHHH) (Amendments).
6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs
Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next 3 years, approximately 39,812 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that an average of 1,593 new commercially owned motor vehicle and mobile equipment refinishing sources and 25 new miscellaneous surface coating sources will start up each year over the next 3 years to replace existing sources that terminate operations. No new respondents will become subject to this rule due to the amendments. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 39,812 per year.
The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the 3 years covered by this ICR.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[a] This ICR assumes a total of 39,812 commercial facilities exist in any given year, and that 1,618 new sources per year will be constructed. This ICR also assumes that existing sources will shut down at a rate equal to that replaced by new sources. Therefore, the total number of affected sources subject to this rule (i.e., 39,812 sources) will not change in any given year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b] This ICR assumes that 20% of existing affected sources submit an annual notification of changes report each year. The remaining existing sources would only retain records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[c] New respondents include sources with constructed, reconstructed and modified affected facilities.
Column D is subtracted to avoid double-counting respondents. As shown above, the average Number of Respondents over the 3-year period of this ICR is 39,812.

a Familiarization with the amended rule will occur only in year 1. Only existing subject sources will be impacted by this burden associated with the amendments.
b Familiarization with CEDRI for electronic filing of notifications and reports will occur only in year 1. Only existing subject sources will be impacted by this burden associated with the amendments.
The number of Total Annual Responses in year 1 is 76,388. The number of Total Annual Responses in years 2 and 3 is zero.
The total labor costs associated with the amendments are $15,600,000, which are the estimated costs of familiarizing with the rule revisions and the associated electronic reporting system in year 1. These are one-time costs. Details regarding these estimates may be found at the end of this document in Tables 1 through 4: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost -- NESHAP for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating at Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHHH) (Amendments).
6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables
The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 through 8 at the end of this document and summarized below.
(i) Respondent Tally
The total annual labor hours associated with the amendments are 43,900 hours. Details regarding these estimates may be found in Tables 1 through 4: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost -- NESHAP for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating at Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHHH) (Amendments).
We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5 percent of the time required for technical tasks because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens are assumed to take 10 percent of the time required for technical tasks because the typical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies, and maintain records.
Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2 hours per response.
The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are a savings of $27,100. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.
(ii) The Agency Tally
The average annual Agency burden and cost associated with the amendments over the next 3 years is estimated to be 0 labor hours at a cost of $0. See Tables 5 through 8: Annual EPA Burden and Cost -- NESHAP for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating at Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHHH) (Amendments).
We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5 percent of the time required for technical tasks because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens are assumed to take 10 percent of the time required for technical tasks because the typical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies, and maintain records.
6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden
There is a one-time increase in burden to industry associated with the amendments. This burden is due to the assumption that existing subject respondents will spend 4 hours in the first year following the promulgation of the amendments to familiarize with the rule revisions and the associated electronic reporting system. Since the previous ICR assumed that existing respondents would spend 1 hour per year familiarizing with the rule requirements, the incremental burden for the changes is 3 hours for each affected source. These amendments will not impact the burden on respondents in later years because they do not impose additional reporting or recordkeeping requirements, nor will they impact the burden on new respondents, given that new respondents are already expected to familiarize with the rule in the year in which they become subject to the subpart.
A decrease in burden is related to changes in electronic reporting requirements due to the amendments, which will result in a reduction in O&M costs. The operation and maintenance costs currently associated with this standard are related to photocopying and postage for notifications of compliance status required in 40 CFR 63.9(h) and 63.11175(b), the annual notification of changes report required in 40 CFR 63.111176(a), and the MeCl minimization plan report required in 40 CFR 63.11176(b). Under the amendments, respondents will no longer be required to mail in physical copies of these reports and notifications, which will result in a reduction in costs by eliminating the only operation and maintenance costs associated with the standards.
The only other change is related to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR uses labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics report of March 2021 to calculate respondent burden costs.
6(g) Burden Statement
The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0016. An electronic version of the public docket is available at http://www.regulations.gov/ which may be used to obtain a copy of the draft collection of information, submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the docket, and to access those documents in the public docket that are available electronically. When in the system, select "search," then key in the docket ID number identified in this document. The documents are also available for public viewing at the Enforcement and Compliance Docket and Information Center in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC.

Assumptions:

[a] This ICR assumes a total of 36,562 commercial surface coating facilities exist in any given year, and that 1,618 new sources per year will be constructed. These commercial facilities comprise both the miscellaneous surface coating and commercial motor vehicle and mobile equipment refinishing categories. This ICR also assumes that existing sources will shut down at a rate equal to that replaced by new sources. The only sources that will be affected by the incremental burden associated with the amendments are the existing sources in year 1 minus the number of existing sources that are no longer subject (see "Number of Respondents" table in section 6(d)).
[b] This ICR uses the following labor rates: $122.20 for technical, $153.55 for managerial, and $61.51 for clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2021, "Table 2. Civilian workers, by occupational and industry group." The rates are from column 1, "Total compensation." The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
[c] This ICR assumes that new sources will not be affected by the incremental burden associated with the amendments since new sources are already expected to familiarize with the rule in the year in which they become subject.
d Existing sources are expected to spend 4 hours familiarizing with the rule revisions, including familiarization with CEDRI for electronic filing of notifications and reports. Since the previous ICR assumed that existing sources would spend 1 hour per year familiarizing with the rule requirements, the incremental burden for the changes is 3 hours. This burden for existing sources will occur in year 1 only.
e The amendments do not impact what information must be collected by the affected sources and thus there is no incremental burden related to the creation of information.
[f] The amendments do not impact what records must be kept by the affected sources and thus there is no incremental burden related to development of the record system.
g The amendments do not impact the amount of time it takes for the affected sources to record information and thus there is no incremental burden related to the time to record information.
h Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:

[a]  EPA estimates a total of 250 existing, government-owned paint shops by assuming one shop per county for counties with a population greater than 240,000.  This ICR assumes no new, government-owned paint shops will open over the three-year ICR period.
[b] This ICR uses the following labor rates: $122.20 for technical, $153.55 for managerial, and $61.51 for clerical labor.  These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2021, "Table 2. Civilian workers, by occupational and industry group."

Assumptions:

[a]  This ICR assumes a total of 3,000 paint stripping facilities exist in any given year.  This ICR assumes no new MeCl paint stripping operations will open over the three-year ICR period.
[b] This ICR uses the following labor rates: $122.20 for technical, $153.55 for managerial, and $61.51 for clerical labor.  These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2021, "Table 2. Civilian workers, by occupational and industry group."  The rates are from column 1, "Total compensation."  The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
[c] Existing sources are expected to spend 4 hours familiarizing with the rule revisions, including familiarization with CEDRI for electronic filing of notifications and reports. Since the previous ICR assumed that existing sources would spend 1 hour per year familiarizing with the rule requirements, the incremental burden for the changes is 3 hours. This burden for existing sources will occur in year 1 only.
d The amendments do not impact what information must be collected by the affected sources and thus there is no incremental burden related to the creation of information.
e The amendments do not impact activities such as training personnel or updating the MeCl minimization plan and thus there is no incremental burden related to implementing activities.
[f] The amendments do not impact the amount of time it takes for the affected sources to record information and thus there is no incremental burden related to the time to record information.
g Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:

[a] This ICR assumes a total of 36,562 commercial surface coating facilities exist in any given year, and that 1,618 new sources per year will be constructed.  These commercial facilities comprise both the miscellaneous surface coating and commercial motor vehicle and mobile equipment refinishing categories.  This ICR also assumes that existing sources will shut down at a rate equal to that replaced by new sources.  The only sources that will be affected by the incremental burden associated with the amendments are the existing sources in year 1 minus the number of existing sources that are no longer subject (see "Number of Respondents" table in section 6(d)).
[b] This ICR uses the following labor rates: $122.20 for technical, $153.55 for managerial, and $61.51 for clerical labor.  These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2021, "Table 2. Civilian workers, by occupational and industry group."  The rates are from column 1, "Total compensation."  The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
[c] This ICR assumes that new sources will not be affected by the incremental burden associated with the amendments since new sources are already expected to familiarize with the rule in the year they become subject.
d The incremental burden associated with familiarization with the regulatory requirements will occur only in year 1.
e The amendments do not impact what information must be collected by the affected sources and thus there is no incremental burden related to the creation of information.
[f] The amendments do not impact what records must be kept by the affected sources and thus there is no incremental burden related to development of the record system.
g The amendments do not impact the amount of time it takes for the affected sources to record information and thus there is no incremental burden related to the time to record information.
h Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:

[a]  EPA estimates a total of 250 existing, government-owned paint shops by assuming one shop per county for counties with a population greater than 240,000.  This ICR assumes no new, government-owned paint shops will open over the three-year ICR period.
[b] This ICR uses the following labor rates: $122.20 for technical, $153.55 for managerial, and $61.51 for clerical labor.  These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2021, "Table 2. Civilian workers, by occupational and industry group."  The rates are from column 1, "Total compensation."  The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

e The amendments do not impact what records must be kept by the affected sources and thus there is no incremental burden related to development of the record system.
[f] The amendments do not impact the amount of time it takes for the affected sources to record information and thus there is no incremental burden related to the time to record information.
