    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Metal 
Coil Surface Coating (40 CFR part 60, subpart TT) were: Proposed on 
January 5, 1981; promulgated on November 1, 1982; and amended on June 
24, 1986 and October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to the following 
surface coating lines in the metal coil surface coating industry: Each 
prime coat operation; each finish coat operation; and each prime and 
finish coat operation cured simultaneously, where the finish coat is 
applied wet-on-wet over the prime coat. These regulations apply to 
facilities commencing construction, modification, or reconstruction 
after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to 
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart TT.
    In general, all NSPS standards require initial notification 
reports, 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.
    Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least 
two years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, 
and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local 
authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the 
reports are sent directly to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) regional office.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of primary 
copper smelter.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart TT).
    Estimated number of respondents: 158 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, and 
semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 15,643 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,863,362 (per year), includes $331,800 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated 
respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB.
