    Title: NESHAP for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating
Industry (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2034.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0510.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2009.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An 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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP), for the Wood Building Products Surface Coating
Industry, published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart QQQQ, were proposed on
June 21, 2002, and promulgated on May 28, 2003. These regulations apply
to existing facilities and new facilities that perform surface coating
of wood building products where the total Hazardous Air Pollutants
(HAPs) emitted are greater than or equal to 10 tons per year of any one
HAP, or where the total HAPs emitted are greater than or equal to 25
tons per year of any combination of HAPs, that use at least 4,170
liters (1,100 gallons) of coatings annually.
    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 Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 109
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 which have subsequently changed; 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Wood building products surface
coating facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 232.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.

[[Page 37033]]

    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 75,771
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $6,695,925, which includes $6,417,525
in annual labor costs, $278,400 in O&M costs, and no total capital/
Startup costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a small change in the total
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved
ICR Burdens. This change is due to a correction in rounding of the
currently approved burden. The new burden is $278,400, or $400 in
additional burden above the currently approved burden.

    Dated: July 20, 2009.
John Moses,
Director, Collection Strategies Division.
