Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Surface Coating of Large Household and
Commercial Appliances (40 CFR part 63, subpart NNNN) were proposed on
December 22, 2000; promulgated on July 23, 2002; and amended on: April
20, 2006 (71 FR 20465), March 15, 2019 (84 FR 9611), July 8, 2020 (85
FR 41100), and November 19, 2020 (85 FR 73854). These regulations apply
to both existing and new facilities that perform surface coating of
large household and commercial appliances and related parts 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.
New facilities include those that commenced construction or
reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart NNNN.
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 deviation from an emission limitation
(either a numerical emission limit, an operating limit, or an equipment
or work practice standard), 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.
Form Numbers: 5900-564.
Respondents/affected entities: Facilities that perform surface
coating of large household and commercial appliances and related parts.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart NNNN).
Estimated number of respondents: 10 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, periodically, semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 4,380 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $606,000 (per year), which includes $7,370
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the
most recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations. First, the
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years. Second, the growth
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent. Operation and
maintenance (O&M) and labor costs have been adjusted upwards based on
inflation.
