    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products Surface Coating Operations.
    Title: NESHAP for Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products (40 CFR
part 63, subpart MMMM).
    Abstract: The respondents are subject to the recordkeeping and
reporting requirements at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A--General
Provisions, that apply to all NESHAP sources. These requirements
include recordkeeping and reporting for startup, shutdown,
malfunctions, and semiannual reporting. Exceptions to the General
Provisions for this source category are delineated in the standard and
include initial notifications to the Agency for new, reconstructed and
existing affected entities, and notifications of compliance status.
    The information must be collected in order for the Agency to
determine compliance with the emission limitations in the standard.
Responses to this collection of information are mandatory under the
Clean Air Act. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the
agency displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA's standards are listed at 40 CFR part 9.
    The EPA would like to solicit comments to: (i) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 1,590 with
180 responses per year. The annual industry recordkeeping and reporting
burden for this collection of information was 139,380 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported 0.11 times per year and 774 hours
were spent preparing

[[Page 11240]]

each response. The operation and maintenance costs associated with
continuous emission monitoring (CEM) equipment in the previous ICR was
$3,600, and there were no costs associated with startup/shutdown of the
CEM equipment.
    Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

    Dated: February 24, 2005.

Director, Office of Compliance.
