Abstract: Owners and operators of 

affected facilities are required to comply 

with reporting and record keeping 

requirements for the general provisions 

of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, as well as 

the specific requirements at 40 CFR part 

60, subpart Ja. This includes submitting 

initial notifications, performance tests 

and periodic reports and results, and 

maintaining 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 reports are used by 

EPA to determine compliance with the 

standards. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Petroleum refineries constructed, 

reconstructed, or modified after May 14, 

2007. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart Ja). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

150 (total). 

Frequency of response: Initially and 

semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 64,300 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $22,100,000 (per 

year), includes $15,700,000 annualized 

capital and/or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

adjustment decrease in the number of 

responses, capital costs, and O&M costs 

as currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved Burdens. This 

decrease is not due to any program 

changes. The change in the burden and 

cost estimates for the renewal of this 

ICR occurred because we assumed that 

all refineries are now in full compliance 

with the rule initial flare compliance 

requirements since the standard has 

been in effect for more than three years. 

The active ICR reflects those burdens 

and costs associated with the initial 

activities for refineries that included 

purchasing monitoring equipment, 

conducting performance test(s) and 

establishing recordkeeping systems. 

This ICR renewal addresses the burden 

and costs for existing refineries to 

comply with the ongoing compliance 

requirements, including continuously 

monitoring of pollutants and the 

submission of semiannual reports. 

There is an increase in the respondent 

labor hours since we assumed all 

respondents are now required to comply 

with the flare ongoing rule requirements 

each year compared to one third per 

year in the active ICR. In addition, the 

labor burden calculation in the renewal 

includes additional hours associated 

with managerial and clerical work since 

the active ICR did not break down these 

types of labor costs, which also 

contribute to labor burden increase.
