Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Metal
Furniture Coating were proposed on November 28, 1980; promulgated on
October 29, 1982; and most-recently revised on October 17, 2000. These
regulations apply to each metal furniture surface coating operation in
which organic coatings are applied (greater than 3,842 liters of
coating per year), commencing construction, modification, or
reconstruction after November 28, 1980. 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. This information is being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 60, subpart EE.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Metal furniture surface coating
operations.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart EE).
Estimated number of respondents: 42 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly and
semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 5,940 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $791,000 (per year), which includes $88,200
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the
total estimated burden from the most-recently approved ICR. This
decrease is not due to any program changes. The adjustment decrease in
burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the
number of sources. The number of respondents has been adjusted
downwards from the most-recently approved ICR to reflect a more
accurate estimate of subject sources, based on data collected through
EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database and a
review of metal furniture facilities subject to other federal
regulations. The decrease in the number of respondents also results in
a decrease in the operation and maintenance costs. There are no new
respondents anticipated in the next three years, therefore, there are
no capital costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
