-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Surface Coating of 
Metal Cans (EPA ICR Number 2079.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0541) to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed 
extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through February 28, 
2025. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal 
Register on August 6, 2024 during a 60-day comment period. This notice 
allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Metal Can Manufacturing Surface Coating were 
proposed on January 15, 2003, promulgated on November 13, 2003, and 
amended on January 6, 2006 and February 25, 2020. The latest amendment 
was a residual risk and technology review (RTR) required of periodic 
air emissions testing, revisions to the startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction (SSM) provisions, and the use of electronic data reporting 
for performance test data submittals notifications, and reports. These 
regulations apply to existing and new facilities in this source 
category that use 5,700 liters (1,500 gallons) per year or more of 
coatings and that is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP). 
The metal can surface coating source category includes any facilities 
that coat or print metal cans (including decorative tins), metal ends 
for metal or composite cans, or metal crowns or closures for any type 
of can during any stage of the can manufacturing process. The source 
category does not include the coating of metal coils for cans or can 
parts. Coil coating for cans and can parts is included in the NESHAP 
for the surface coating of metal coil (40 CFR part 63, subpart SSSS). 
The source category does not include the coating of pails and drums, 
which is covered in the NESHAP for the surface coating of miscellaneous 
metal parts and products (40 CFR part 63, subpart MMMM). New facilities 
include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after 
January 15, 2003. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKK.
    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.
    Respondents/affected entities: Metal can manufacturing facilities 
that use 5,700 liters (1,500 gallons) per year or more of surface 
coatings.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart KKKK).
    Estimated number of respondents: 5 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 1,940 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $282,000 (per year), which includes $15,400 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.

[[Page 10901]]

    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 54 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs 
associated with the initial activities for subject facilities due to 
the 2020 amendments. This included time to familiarize with CEDRI for 
electronic reporting and revision of record systems due to the 
revisions for periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction. There is 
also a decrease in the Capital O&M compared to the previously approved 
ICR. Most of the Capital O&M included with the previous ICR is 
associated with capital and startup costs. This ICR, by in large, 
reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities 
following rulemaking activities.
