Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHH) apply to new and existing facilities that: 1) manufacture a miscellaneous coating (including inks, paints, or adhesives described by either Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 285 or 289, or North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes 3255 or 3259); 2) are either located at, or are part of, major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions; 3) process, use, or produce HAP; and 4) are not part of an affected source under another subpart of 40 CFR Part 63. New facilities include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction after April 4, 2002. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHH. 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.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase in the labor hours per respondent in this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This situation is due to four considerations: 1) increased time in year one to become familiar with the amended rules, 2) increased time in year one to re-evaluating previously developed SSM record systems, 3) increased time in year one to become familiar with CEDRI and the electronic reporting form for the semiannual report, 4) increased time in years one to three for keeping records of operating hours and bypass hours; and 5) time required for conducting a performance test and reporting the results. There is an increase in the capital/startup costs as calculated in section 6(b)(iii) compared with the costs in the previous ICR. The requirement for periodic performance testing requires 12 existing facilities to conduct a performance test on 12 add-on control devices, with an estimate of one test being repeated. These facilities are not currently required to perform periodic testing as a condition of their part 70 operating permits.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $12,400
