standards, based on dates of manufacture.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers and importers of 
automobile refinish coatings and coating components.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory under 40 CFR part 59, 
subpart B.

    Total annual hour burden: 14. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 
1320.03(b).

O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There are no changes in the total 
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved 
ICR Burdens.
