    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Automobile and Light-duty Truck Surface Coating 
(40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII) apply to new, reconstructed, or existing 
facilities that apply topcoat to new automobile or new light-duty truck 
bodies or body parts for new automobiles or new light-duty trucks, and 
that is a major source, is located at a major source, or is part of a 
major source of emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). New 
facilities include those that commenced either construction, or 
reconstruction after the date of proposal.
    Owners and operators of major sources of HAP that apply topcoat to 
new automobile or new light-duty truck bodies or body parts for new 
automobiles or new light-duty trucks are required to comply with 
reporting and record keeping requirements for the General Provisions 
(40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as for the applicable standards in 
40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII. This includes submitting notifications, 
performance test reports, and periodic reports, as well as maintaining 
records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or 
malfunction in the operation of an affected facility; continuous 
parameter monitoring data; or any period during which the monitoring 
system is inoperative. These reports are used by the EPA to determine 
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities that perform surface 
coating on automobile or light-duty trucks.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart IIII).
    Estimated number of respondents: 43 (total).
    Frequency of response: Periodically and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 17,500 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,070,000 (per year), which includes $51,600 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in burden from the most 
recently-approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of sources 
subject to the rule. This estimate is based on Agency analyses 
conducted during the development the Risk and Technology Review for 
this subpart. This decrease in the number of sources leads to a 
decrease in the number of responses, reporting and recordkeeping hours, 
and a decrease in the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs as compared 
with the costs in the previous ICR.
