Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the Graphic Arts Industry (40 CFR part 60, subpart QQ) were proposed on October 28, 1980; promulgated on November 8, 1982; and most recently amended on April 9, 2004. These regulations apply to each publication rotogravure printing press (not including proof presses) commencing either construction, or modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. New facilities include those that commenced either construction, or modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQ.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of graphic arts facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart QQ).
Estimated number of respondents: 6 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 470 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $56,200 (per year), which includes $0 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 1,590 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease in burden is an adjustment based on a review of sources listed on the Enforcement Compliance History Online (ECHO) database and consultations with industry indicating that the estimated number of sources in this renewal should be lowered. The ECHO sources listed included 6 active respondents subject to subpart QQ. Additionally, consultations with Gravure Association of Americas identified two companies with operations using the publication rotogravure printing process, both of which owned facilities included in the ECHO list. Based on consultations, EPA's ECHO database, and comparisons with previous ICRs, the industry is currently declining. As a result, it is assumed no new respondents will be added over the next three years. Labor costs have also been adjusted to correct an error in the previous ICR's calculations resulting from managerial and technical labor rates being transposed and applied incorrectly to each other's labor hours.
