**SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY**  **NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal)**  **1. Identification of the Information Collection 1(a) Title of the Information Collection**  NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal) EPA I CR Number 1054.11, OMB Control Number 2060

- 0022 **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Petroleum Refineries, publish ed at 40 CFR part 60, subpart J were proposed on June 11, 1973, promulgated on March 8, 1974 , and amended October 2, 1990. These regulations apply to the following affected facilities in petroleum refineries: fluid catal ytic crac king unit catal ys t regenerators; fuel gas combustion devices; and Claus sulfur recov ery plants of more than 20 long tons per day commencing construction, modification , or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart J. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain record 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 s ys tem is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS. Reporting frequency was c hanged from quarterl y to semiannual on February12, 1999 (64 FR 7465). A lso , it is estimated that 5 percent of respondents to this In formation Collection Request ( IC R) will undergo construction or reconstruction. These changes are being reflected for the Agency for the first time for this I CR. 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 rec ords. 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 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Approximately

150 res pondents are currently subject to the regulation, and it is estimated that no additional respondents will become subject to the regulation in the next three years. This information was confirmed with the rule lead addressing this source category of the Of fice of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS).
In the United States , there are approximately 150 petroleum refineries that are publicl y owned and operated b y the petroleum refinery industry

. None of these facilities are owned b y either state, local, tribal or the Federal government. They are all owned and operated solel y b y2

privately owned for

- profit businesses. The burden to the “Affected Public” is listed in Table 1: Annual Industry

Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 6 0, Subpart J ) (Renewal). The Federal government burden does not include work performed by Federal employees onl y w ork performed by c ontractors, and which could be found listed below in Table 2 : Average Annual EPA Burden

– NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J ) (Renewal).
In the development of the IC R , we addressed the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) “Terms of Clearance (TOC)” on the active ICR. The TOC are as follows :

This collection of information is approved fo r 3 years. Befo re resubmission of this ICR, the Agenc y s hould update wage estimates, continuing to refer to most recentl y available data from Bureau of Labor Statistics. In addition, the agency should verify the number of respondent entities. EPA has addressed ea ch item of concern in the TOC. The updated labor rates and the number of respondents have been thoroughly checked , and all estimates have been updated. **2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection**  The EPA is charged under s e ction 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, to establish standards of performance for new stationary sources that reflect:

**. . .** application of the best technological sy stem of continuous emissions reduction which (taking into consideration the cos t of achieving such emissions reduction, or any non - air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator determines has been adequatel y demonstrated. Section 111(a)(l). The Agency

refers to this charge as selecting the b est demonstrated technology (BDT). Section 111 also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards every four years. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any o wner or operator subject t o any

requirement of this Act to: (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such proce dures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control3 equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment , particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and sulfur oxides cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS was promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 60, subpart J

. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data**  The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. Inaddition, the collected information is used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings. Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility’s i nitial capability to comply

with the emission standard. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance tests, a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. The notifications required in the standard are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to ensure that the pollution control devices are properl y in stalled and operated , that leak s are being detected and repaired, and that the standards are being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, to identify problems at the facility , and to verify operation/maintenance procedures and compliance.
**3. Non**
**- duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria**  The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 60, subpart J

. **3(a) Non**
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directl y to the delegated state or local agency
. If a state or local agency h as adopted their own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a cop y of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required b y the Federal standards. Therefore, no duplication exists. **3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Su bmission to OMB** 4

An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this IC R was published in the Federal Register (7 6 FR 26900 ) on May 9 , 20 11 . No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations**
The Agency ’s industry

experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next three years have been considered. The primary source of information as reported b y industry , in compliance with the rec ordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System (OTI S) which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. OTIS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all complian ce data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agenc y’s internal industry experts. Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the stan dard as it was being developed. In dev eloping this ICR, we consulted with the EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standard s, Refining and Chemicals Group. We also consulted the American Petroleum In dustry at ( 202 ) 682

- 8209, and the National Association of Manufacturers at ( 202 ) 682

- 8114. After a thorough review, i t is our policy t o respond to comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as to those submitted in response to the f irst Federal Register n otice. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Coll ection**  Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and that emission limitations are met. If the information required b y these standards was collected less frequentl y, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely

. **3(e) General Guidelines** These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated b y OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5. These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, inc luding reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards. E PA believes that the five

- ye ar records retention requirement is consistent with the part 70 permit program and the five

- ye ar statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of records for five ye ars allows the EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any pattern of non

- compliance, and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond the five ye ars. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records.5

**3(f) Confidentiality** Any i nformation submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality i s made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B

- Confidentiality

of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended b y 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions** The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive question s. **4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes**  The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are owners and operators of petroleum refineries. The United States Standard Industrial Classification (SI C ) code for the respondents affected b y the standards is 2911, which corresponds to the North American Industry Classification System (NAI CS) 324110 for petroleum refineries. **4(b) Information Requested** None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirement s violate any of the regulations established by

OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5. **(i) Data Items**  In this ICR, all the data that is recorded or reported is required b y NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J ) (Renewal)

. A source must make the following reports:
**Notification Reports**  Notification of the actual date of initial startup, and notification of specific provisions for sulfur dioxide ( SO 2 ) standards with which the source seeks to comply 60.7(a)(3),60.107 9(a)

Notification of performance test and of any relevant delays. 60,8(d) Notification of the date of construction (or reconstruction). 60.7(a)(1) Notification of any ph ys ical or operational change to an existing facility , which may

Request for exemption from the carbon monoxide ( CO ) continuous monitoring sy stem requirements. 60.105(a)(2)(ii) Notification of change in semiannual report due to change in SO 2 compliance method. 60.108(e)

**Reports** Results of perfor

mance tests including opacity observations and results. 60.8(a), 0.11(e) (2

- 6) 60.13(c) Semiannual reports

. 60,107(c),(e

- f) Reports of any periods for which SO 2 or oxides emissions data are not available. 60.107 (c

- f) Report of any periods for which SO 2 o r oxides emissions data are not available. 60. 107(d) Excess emissions and monitoring s ys tems performance report and/or summary report (to be submitted with semiannual report). 60.7(c

- d), 6 0.105 (e)

A source must maintain the following records:
**Record keeping**  Records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility; any malfunction of the air pollution control equipment; or any periods during which a continuous monitoring device is inoperative. 60.7(b)

Daily records of the average coke

- off rate and hours of operation for any fluid catal ytic cracking unit cataly st regenerator. 60.105(c) Daily records of the rate of combustions of liquid or solid fossil

- f uels and the hours of operatio n during which they are combusted in the incinerator

- waste heat boiler (applies to fluid catal ytic cracking unit catal ys ts regenerators that use incinerator

- waste heat boilers). 60.105(d)

Records of data obtained from the dail y feed sulfur tests (if compl yi ng with 60.104(b)(3). 60.107(b)(3) Records of each 7

- day

rolling average compliance determination. 60.107(b)(4) Records of COMS results during initial performance test. 60.11(e)(4)7 **Record keeping**  Records of all data and calibrations from continuous monitoring sy stem s, including results of daily

drift tests and quarterly

accuracy assessments; measurements obtained by supplemental sampling for meeting minimum data requirements and written procedures for the quality control program (if complying with 60.104(b)(1)). 60,1 07(b)(1)
Records of measurements obtained in the daily Method 8 testing, or those obtained by

alternative measurements, if applicable (compl yi ng with 60.104(b)(2). 60.107(b)(2) Records of all measurements, including continuous monitoring sy stem, monitori ng device, and performance testing measurements; all continuous monitoring sy stem performance evaluations; all continuous monitoring sy stem or monitoring device calibration checks; and adjustments and maintenance performed on these s ys tems or devices. 60.7 (f)

Electronic Reporting Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies in cooperation with the respondents continue to create reporting sy stems to transmit data electronically . However, electronic reporting s ys tems are not widel y used. At this time, it is estimated that approximately 7 0 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting. **Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate continuous monitoring systems ( CMS ) for opacity, CO, SO 2 , and o xygen dioxide ( O 2 ). Perform performance test, using the procedures listed in 40 CFR 60.106, and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Write the notifications and reports listed above. Enter information required to be recorded above. Submit the require d reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and sy stems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit or otherwise disclose the information

.8

Currently , sources are using monitoring equipment that provides parameter data in an automated way (e.g., continuous parameter monitoring s ys tem). Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this ty pe of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. **5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management**  **5(a) Agency Activities** EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analy sis, storage, and distribution of the required information. **Agency Activities** Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Review notifications and reports, including performance test report s, excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records. Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information sy stem ( OTI S )

. **5(b) Collection Methodology and Management** Following notification of startu p, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properl y i nstalled and operational

. P erformance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source’s initial capability to comply

with the emis sion standard, and to note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. D ata and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
In formation contained in the reports is entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. OTIS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. E PA uses OTIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by l ocal and state regulatory

a gencies, EPA regional of fices, and EPA headquarters. EPA delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve , and analyze the data. The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner or operator for two ye ars. **5(c) Small Entity Flexibility** The majority

of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, the + impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the9

development of the regulation. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the ty pes of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduc e them further for small entities. T o the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced. **5(d) Collection Schedule** The specific frequency

f or each information collection activity w ith in this request is shown in Table 1: Annual Industry B urden for NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J ) (Renewal). **6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection** Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the reco rdkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this I CR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Wherever appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. The Agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unles s it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. **6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden** The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 15,784 (Total Labor Hours from T able 1). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency

knowledge and experience with the NSPS program, the previously approved ICR, and any comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent C osts**  **(i) Estimating Labor Costs** This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $119.36 ($56.84 + 110%) Technical $99.18 ($47.23 + 110%) Clerical $49.35 ($23.50 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labo r Statistics, March 2011, "Table 2. Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry group." The rates are from column 1, "Total Compensation." The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry

.10 **(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs** The ty pe of industry

costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard are both labor costs, which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR , and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are one

- time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor and other cost s, such as photocopying and postage.

. This is the total of column D in the above table. The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this I CR are $ 719,100

. This is the total of column G.
The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three ye ars of the I CR is estimated to be $ 719,100. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost** The only costs to the Agency

are those costs associated with anal ys is of the reported information. EPA’s overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as: the examination of records maintained by the respondents; periodic inspection of sources of emissions; and the publication and distribution of collected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three ye ars of the ICR is estimated to be $ 22,076

. This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $62.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $38.92 + 60%) Technical $46.21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $28.88 + 60%) Clerical $25.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $15.63 + 60 %)11

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2011 General Schedule” which excludes locality

rates of pay . The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government emplo ye es
. Details upo n which this estimate is based appear in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden, NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J ) (Renewal)

. **6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs** Based on our research for this I CR, on average over the next three ye ars, approximately 150 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that no additional respondent s per ye ar will become subject to the standard . The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 150 per year. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR. **Number of Respondents**

The number of Total Annual Re sponses is 300.
The total annual labor costs are $ 1,510,886. Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J ) ( Renewal). **6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours Burden Hours and Cost Tables**  The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectivel y, and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 15,784

. Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost: NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal). Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of i nformation is estimated to average 53 hours per response. The total annual capital/startup and operation and maintenance ( O&M ) costs to the regulated entity are $ 719,100

.

**(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual Agency burden and cost over the next three years is estimated to be 497 labor hours at a cost of $ 22,076

. See Table 2 : Annual Agency Burden and Cost: NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal). **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** The adjustment increase in burden from the most recentl y approved ICR is due to a more accurate estimate of existing sources. A fter consulting with the Office of Air Quality P lanning and Standards (OAQPS) and trade associations, the data indicates that there are approximately 150 sources subje ct to the rule, as compared with the active I CR that shows 132 sources. There are no new facilities expected to be constructed over the next three years of this ICR. There is also an increase in the estimated burden cost as currently identified in the OM B Inventory of approved Burdens. The increase is not due to any pro gram changes. The change in burden cost is due to the use of the most updated labor rates. Because there are no new sources with reporting requirements, no capital/startup costs are incurred. The only

cost that is incurred is for the O&M of the monitoring equipment

. **6(g) Burden Statement**13

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 53 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by

persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency . This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and s ys tems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing way s to comply with any previously

applicable instructions and requirements; 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. An agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a pers on is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA ’ s regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
