appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: This information collection 

is being conducted by EPA’s Office of 

Air and Radiation (OAR) to assist the 

EPA Administrator, as required by 

sections 111(b), 112(d), and 112(f)(6) of 

the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, 

to reevaluate emission standards for this 

source category. The non-confidential 

information from this information 

collection request (ICR) would also be 

made available to the public. 

The proposed ICR has four 

components. To obtain the information 

necessary to identify and categorize all 

units potentially affected by any future 

revision to a standard, the first 

component of this ICR will solicit 

information from all potentially affected 

units at all 152 refineries in the format 

of an electronic survey under authority 

of section 114 of the CAA. This survey 

will include questions about the facility 

and individual emissions sources, and it 

will ask the owners/operators to submit 

cost data and provide copies of recent 

emissions test reports and continuous 

emission monitoring system (CEMS)/ 

continuous monitoring system (CMS) 

data. The second component will ask 

the owners/operators to develop and 

provide an emissions inventory. The 

third component will ask the owners/ 

operators to conduct sampling and 

analysis of the feed to the distillation 

columns at their refinery over a specific 

time period. The first three components 

will be submitted to all facilities listed 

in the Energy Information 

Administration’s Refinery Capacity 

Report 2009. The fourth component will 

consist of requiring emissions testing, 

again pursuant to the authority of 

section 114 of the CAA. 

EPA is issuing a single collection of 

information for sources covered under 

40 CFR part 63, subparts CC and UUU 

and 40 CFR part 60, subpart J so that 

EPA can, at one time, assess whether 

additional control strategies are 

necessary and, if so, which are the most 

effective for hazardous air pollutants 

(HAP), regulated under CAA section 

112, and criteria air pollutants (such as 

particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and 

nitrogen oxide), regulated under CAA 

section 111. The data would also allow 

EPA to evaluate compliance options for 

startup and shutdown periods and 

consider ways to consolidate 

monitoring, reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements for the 

different rules under review. The data 

may also help EPA conduct reviews of 

other rules specific to petroleum 

refineries, including Standards of 

Performance for Equipment Leaks of 

VOC in Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR 

part 60, subpart GGG), Standards of 

Performance for VOC Emissions from 

Petroleum Refinery Wastewater Systems 

(40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQ), and the 

National Emission Standard for Benzene 

Waste Operations (40 CFR part 61, 

subpart FF). 

The data collected will be used to 

update and augment facility and 

emissions source information already 

available to the Agency, develop new 

estimates of the population of affected 

units, and identify the control measures 

and alternative emission limits being 

used for compliance with the existing 

rules that are under review. This 

information, along with existing 

emission limits, will be used to 

establish the baseline emissions and 

control levels for purposes of the 

regulatory reviews. The emissions test 

data (test reports, CEMS data, and CMS 

data) collected will be used to assess the 

effectiveness of existing control 

measures, examine variability in 

emissions, evaluate the stringency of 

existing emission limits, identify the 

most effective control measures 

considered for purposes of reducing 

residual risk, and provide a basis for 

estimating nationwide emissions from 

emissions sources for which EPA has 

little information. Emissions data will 

also be used, along with process and 

emissions unit details, to consider 

options for best demonstrated 

technology under the NSPS review, to 

consider subcategories for further 

regulation, and to estimate the 

environmental and cost impacts 

associated with any regulatory options 

considered. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 256 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and use 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Respondents affected by this action are 

owners/operators of petroleum 

refineries, all of which are expected to 

have the potential to be subject to one 

of the regulatory standards being 

reviewed or developed by EPA. 

Petroleum refineries are facilities 

engaged in refining and producing 

products made from crude oil or 

unfinished petroleum derivatives. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

152. 

Frequency of response: Once. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

69,342 hours. 

Estimated total annual burden costs: 

$30,924,069, which includes $912 in 

O&M costs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document extends the public comment 

period established in the Federal 

Register of December 8, 2010 (75 FR 

764613) (FRL–8852–8). In that 

document, the Agency made available 

for review and public comment a 

petition submitted by Beyond Pesticides 

and Food & Water Watch (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘the petitioners’’) to the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(hereafter referred to as ‘‘EPA’’ or ‘‘the 

Agency’’), asking EPA to use its 

authority under various statutes to 

regulate triclosan. Triclosan is an 

antimicrobial substance used in 

pesticide products, hand sanitizers, 

toothpaste, and other consumer 

products. The petitioners claim that the 

‘‘pervasive and widespread use’’ of 

triclosan poses significant risks to 

human health and the environment. In 

addition, the petitioners claim that the 

‘‘agency failed to address the impacts 

posed by triclosan’s degradation 

products on human health and the 

environment, failed to conduct separate 

assessments for triclosan residues in 

contaminated drinking water and food, 

and is complacent in seriously 

addressing concerns related to 

antibacterial resistance and endocrine 

disruption.’’ Under the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), the 

petitioners ask EPA to act to cancel and 

suspend the registration of pesticides 

containing triclosan. Under the Clean 

Water Act (CWA), the petitioners 

request that the Administrator impose 

technology-based effluent limitations, 

health-based toxic pollutant water 

quality pretreatment requirements, and 

biosolids regulation for triclosan. Under 

the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 

the petitioners request that the 

Administrator conduct a comprehensive 

assessment of the appropriateness of 

regulating triclosan under SDWA. 

Under the Endangered Species Act 

(ESA), the petitioners request that the 

Administrator comply fully with ESA, 

including consultation and biological 

assessment requirements. In a letter 

submitted to the Agency dated January 

22, 2011, Beyond Pesticides and Food & 

Water Watch requested a 60 day 

extension to the comment period. EPA 

is hereby extending the comment 

period, which was set to end on 

February 7, 2011, to April 8, 2011. 

To submit comments, or access the 

docket, please follow the detailed 

instructions as provided under
