    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: 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).

[[Page 65392]]

    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 14 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $980 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: There is no change in hours in the total 
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by 
OMB.
