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.
