    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for 
Automobile and Light Duty Truck Surface Coating Operations were 
proposed on October 5, 1979, promulgated on December 24, 1980, and 
amended on October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to the following 
automobile and light duty truck assembly plant operations: Each prime 
coat operation, guide coat operation, and top coat operation commencing 
construction, modification or reconstruction after October 5, 1979. 
This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR 
part 60, subpart MM.
    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. These notifications, reports, and 
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of 
all affected facilities subject to NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities that perform surface 
coating of automobile and light duty trucks.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart MM).
    Estimated number of respondents: 72 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 214,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $24,400,000 (per year), which includes 
$128,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an overall adjustment increase 
in the change in burden in this ICR compared to the previous renewal. 
The increase is not due to any program changes. The burden has been 
adjusted to reflect an increase in the estimated number of sources, 
based on a continued growth rate of 2 new facilities per year. The 
increase in the number of respondents also results in an increase in 
the number of responses and in the operation and maintenance costs.
