Abstract: All manufacturers and importers of coatings and coating
components subject to 40 CFR part 59, subpart B (National Volatile
Organic Compound Emission Standards for Automobile Refinish Coatings)
must submit an initial report. The initial report must include the name
and mailing address of the manufacturer or importer. The rule requires
that containers of all subject automobile refinish coatings and coating
components display the date of manufacture or a code indicating the
date of manufacture. All manufacturers and importers of subject
coatings and coating components must submit an explanation of all date
codes used on automobile refinish coating and coating component
containers. Date code explanations can be submitted with the initial
report. Thereafter, respondents must submit explanations of any new
date codes within 30 days of their first use.
The information collection includes initial and periodic reporting
necessary for the EPA to ensure compliance with the promulgated federal
rule for automobile refinish coatings. The rule will be enforced
through random sampling of coatings to determine VOC content.
Respondents are manufacturers and importers of automobile refinish
coatings and coating components.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers and importers of
automobile refinish coatings and coating components.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 59,
subpart B).
Estimated number of respondents: 32 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and occasionally.
Total estimated burden: 14 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,850 (per year). There are no annualized
capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is an adjustment due to an increase in the number
of respondents due to growth in the industry.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
