Respondents are owners or operators of facilities performing polymeric coating of supporting substrates. NSPS Subpart VVV applies to each coating operation and any on-site mix preparation equipment used to prepare coating for the polymeric coating of supporting substrates, which commences construction, modification, or reconstruction after April 30, 1987. The rule establishes standards for VOC use, emission reduction limits, and capture and recovery of VOC emissions. The recordkeeping, monitoring, and reporting requirements allow the regulatory agencies to determine compliance with the standard.
There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden, capital/startup, and O&M costs as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is due to industry growth and is not due to any program changes.
There is an apparent decrease in the Agency labor burden hours due to a summation error in the most recently approved ICR. This error resulted in the overestimation of Agency burden. EPA has identified and reconciled this discrepancy during the preparation of this ICR renewal, hence the apparent burden decrease.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
