    Abstract: The EPA is required under section 183(e) of the Clean Air 
Act (CAA) to regulate volatile organic compound emissions from the use 
of consumer and commercial products. Pursuant to CAA section 183(e)(3), 
the EPA published a list of consumer and commercial products and a 
schedule for their regulation (60 FR 15264). Automobile refinish 
coatings were included on the list, and the standards for such coatings 
are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart B. The reports required under 
the standards enable the EPA to identify all coating and coating 
component manufacturers and importers in the United States and to 
determine which coatings and coating components are subject to the 
standards, based on dates of manufacture.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action as respondents are manufacturers and importers of 
automobile refinish coatings and coating components.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory, 40 CFR part 59 
subpart B.
    Estimated number of respondents: 30 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annually.

    Total estimated burden: 14 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,038 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no increase in hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB.
