The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plating and Polishing Area Sources regulations apply to respondents that are plating and polishing facilities engaged in any of the following processes: non-chromium electroplating; electroless or non-electrolytic plating; other non-electrolytic metal coating processes such as chromate conversion coating, nickel acetate sealing, sodium dichromate sealing, manganese phosphate coating, thermal spraying; dry mechanical polishing of finished metals and formed products after plating or thermal spraying, electroforming, and electro-polishing. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. The required annual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations. This information is also collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart WWWWWW.
There is an increase of 31,208 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. The change in burden and cost estimates occurred as a result of updating the burden tables to accurately reflect the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of the rule.
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).

(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.
