Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Automobile and Light Duty Truck Surface Coating Operations were proposed on October 5, 1979, promulgated on December 24, 1980, and amended on October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to the following automobile and light duty truck assembly plant operations: each prime coat operation, guide coat operation, and top coat operation commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after October 5, 1979. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart MM. In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS.

Short Statement: The change in burden from the previously approved estimates reflects the burden associated with proposed amendments to 40 CFR part 60, subpart MM as well as a change in the number of respondents for this source category. The increase in annual cost burden is due to the proposed electronic reporting requirements that are required. We anticipate these costs will decrease over time and result in a more efficient reporting process for the industry.
