    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Facilities--
Surface Coating were amended on November 21, 2011 to finalize the 
residual risk and technology review by re-adopting existing MACT 
standards, eliminated the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) 
exemption, removed SSM plan requirement, and revised SSM-associated 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements for periods of malfunctions. 
The shipbuilding and ship repair industry consists of establishments 
that build, repair, repaint, convert and alter ships which are marine 
or fresh-water vessels used for military or commercial operations. 
These regulations apply to only the shipbuilding and repair surface 
coating operations that occur at facilities that are major sources of 
hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). New facilities include those that 
commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In 
general, all NESHAP 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 NESHAP. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart II.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of shipbuilding 
and ship repair facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart II).

[[Page 17553]]

    Estimated number of respondents: 56 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 28,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $3,010,000 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 106 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This adjustment in the burden occurred because this 
ICR assumes all existing respondents will have to familiarize with the 
regulatory requirements each year.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
