**1. Identification of the Information Collection 1(a) Title**  **of the Information Collection** NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries, Catal yt ic Cracking, Reforming and Sulfur Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUU) (Renewal) , EPA ICR Number 1844.04, OMB Control Number 2060

- 0554 **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The Nation al Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for **Petroleum Refineries, Catalytic Cracking, Reforming and Sulfur Units** ( 40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU ) were proposed on September 11, 1998, promulgated on April 11, 2002, and amended on February

9 , 2005. These regulations apply to three ty

pes of affected sources at major source petroleum refineries. The three affected sources are: the fluid catal yt ic cracking unit cataly st regeneration; the catal yt ic reforming unit cataly st regeneration; and the sulfur recovery unit. The rule also includes requirements for by

- pass lines associated with the three affected sources. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being coll ected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU. The rule provides a wide variet y of compliance and monitoring options. Depending on the affected source and compliance option, the rule may require a continuous opacity monitoring sy stem, a continuous emission monitoring sy stem, a continuous parameter monitoring sy stem, manual inspections, and/or calculations. Continuous opacity monitoring sy stems (COMS) and continuous emission monitoring s ys tems (CEMS) are in

- place at a majorit y of the facilit ies due to the requirements of the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR part 60, subpart J). In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by

the owners/operator s of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of an y startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility , or any period during which the monitoring sy stem is inoperative. Th ese notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and re tain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority . In the event that there is no such delegated authorit y, the reports are sent directly to the United2

States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Based on our consultations with industry representatives and AFS, we have determined that 132 major petroleum refineries have one or ore affected facilities subject to the standard. Furthermore, we have estimated that there is an average of 486 affected units at the 132 major source petroleum refineries. No new or reconstructed facilities are expected over the next 3 ye ars. However, it is estimated that three affected emission source units had qualified for a compliance date extension and would be compl yi ng with the initial compliance requirements during the period of this ICR (one per ye ar); and one affected facilit y (0.33 per year) will conduct a performance test due to a process/operating change. The 132 respondents to this I CR are publicl y owned and operated b y petroleum refineries. None of the facilities are owned b y either state, local and tribal agencies or the Federal Government. The burden to the “Affected Public” (i.e., major source petroleum refineries) can be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries, Catal yt ic Cracking, Reforming and Sulfur Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUU) (Renewal) . The burden to the “Federal government” is attributed entirel y to work performed b y Federal emplo ye es or government contractors. The burden to the Federal government can be found below in Table 2: Annual Burden and Cost to the Federal/State Government: NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries, Cataly tic Cracking, Reforming and Sulfur Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUU) (Renewal)

. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currentl y active Inf ormation Collection Request (I CR) without any “Terms of Clearance.”
**2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection**  The EPA is charged under section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory

of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any

owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Act to: (A) Establish and maintai n 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 procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, duri ng such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certification s in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may3 reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment , metal hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and organic HAP emissions from catal yt ic cracking units; organic and inorganic HAP emissions from catal yt ic reforming units; and HAP emissions from sulfur recovery units and by

pass lines, either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably

be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The recordkeeping and repor ting requirements in the standards ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which where promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.
Perf ormance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility ’s initial capability to comply

with the emission standards. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standards at all times. During the performance test, a r ecord 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 standards 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 check if the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated and leaks are being detected and repaired and the s tandards are being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility , verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinat ions.
**3. Non**
**- duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria**  The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU. **3(a) Non**
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information i s sent directl y 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 has adopted its 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 by the Federal standards. Therefore, no duplication exists.4

**3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB** An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this I CR was published in the Federal Register ( 75 FR 30812) on June 2, 2010 . No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations** The assumptions made in the development of this ICR, including the estimate on the number of petroleum refineries subject to the standard, were reviewed and updated, if needed, b y the Agency

in consultation with David Friedman of the National Petrochemical and Refiners A ssociation (NPRA) who consulted with some of its committee members. In addition, we consulted the Agency ’s internal data sources including our own industry experts and the Air Facilit y S ys tem (AFS), which is the EPA database for the collection, maintenanc e, and retrieval of all compliance data. The information in AFS is reported b y industry as required in the recordkeeping and reporting provisions of the standard. AFS is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. We have estimated that the re are approximately 132 existing respondents subject to the standard, and no new sources will become subject to the standard over the three

- ye ar period covered b y this ICR. The Agency

also has the policy

to respond after a thorough review of the comment s received from the public since the last ICR renewal, as well as those submitted in response to the f irst Federal Register n otice. In this case, no comments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection** Less frequent information collection w ould 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 emission lim itations 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, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards. EPA believes that the five

- ye ar records retention re quirement is consistent with P art 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 EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, an y pattern of non

- compl iance, and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending bey ond five ye ars. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or5

non existence of essential records. **3(f) Confidentiality** Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is 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 by 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 or operators of major source petroleum refineries. The United States Standard Industrial Classif ication (SI C) code for the respondents affected b y the standards is code 2911 which corresponds to the North American Industry

Classification Sy stem (NAICS) code 32411 for petroleum refineries that operate catal yt ic cracking units, catal yt ic reforming unit s, or sulfur recovery units. **4(b) Information Requested (i) Data Items**  In this ICR, all the data that is recorded or reported is required by the NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries, Cataly tic Cracking, Reforming and Sulfur Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUU). A source must make the following reports: **Notification Reports** Notification of intention to construct or reconstruct 63.9(b)(5), 63.1574(a) Notification of anticipated date of initial startup 63.9(b)(4)(iv), 63.1574(a) Notification of commencement of construction 63.9(b)(4)(iii), 63.1574(a) Notification of the actual date of startup 63.9(b)(4)(v), 63.1574(a) Notification of performance tests 63.7(a) and 63.9(e), 63.1574(a) Notification of compliance status 63.9(g), 63.1574(d), (f) Request for compliance extension 63.9(c), 63.1574(e)6 **Reports** Semiannual compliance reports 63.10(e)(3), 63.1575 Startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan/reports 63.6(3), 63.10(d)(5), 63.1570, 63.1575 A source must keep the following records: **Recordkeeping** Maintain records of startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan/reports 63.1576(a)(2), 63.10(b)(2) Maintenance 63.10(b)(2)(iii), 63.1576(d) CMS/CEM malfunction 63.1576(b), 63.10(c) Emissions data 63.1576(a)(3), 63.10(d) Notification of compliance status 63.1576(a)(1), 63.9(h) CEM quality

assurance plan 63.1576(b), 63.8(d) CEM general provisions 63.1576(b), 63.10(c) Records are required to be retained for 5 Years 63.10(c), 63.428(d) 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 s ys tems to transmit data electronicall y. However, electronic reporting s ys tems are still not widely

used. At this time, it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.

**(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CMS for opacity or emission monitoring for cataly tic cracking units, catal yt ic reforming units and sulfur recovery s ys tems. Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 5B or 5F (40 CFR Part 60) test for PM , and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Write the notifications and reports listed above. Enter information required to be recorded above.7 **Respondent Activities** Submit the required 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 re spond to a collection of information. Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. **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, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information. **Agency Activities** Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records. Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the Air Facility Sy stem (AFS). **5(b) Collection Methodology and Management** Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated. Performance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source’s initial capability to compl y with the emission standard. Data 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 the AFS which is operated and maintained by

the EPA Office of Compliance. AFS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance and annual emission inventory data for over 100,000 industrial and government

- owned facilit ies. EPA uses the AFS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.8

The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner or operator for five ye ars. **5(c) Small Entity Flexibility** A majority

of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesse s) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. A small entity for petroleum refineries is defined as a firm having no more than 1,500 employ ees and no more than 75,000 barrels per day capacit y corporately . Numerous compliance and monitoring alternatives are provided in the rule to give small entities a maximum degree of operational flexibility . The rule requirements are considered to be the minimum necessary to demonstrate compliance. Under section 112(i) of the Clean Air Act, the Administrator or applicable permitting authority also may grant one (1) additional year if more time is needed to install controls for a source. This additional time will ease an y capital availability problems for plants in marginal economic conditio n. The Agency expected three affected units to qualify for the compliance extension. **5(d) Collection Schedule** The specific frequency

for each information collection activity within this request is shown below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries, Catal yt ic Cracking, Reforming and Sulfur Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUU) (Renewal)

. **6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection** Table 1 documents the computation of individu al burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for each of the subparts included in this I CR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden und er the Paperwork Reduction Act. 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 unless it display s 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 11,040 ( Total Labor H ours from Table 1). The recordkeeping hours shown below in Table 1 are 7,936. The reporting requirement hours shown below in Table 1 are 3,103. These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agen cy knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously approved IC R, and any

comments received.9

**6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $105.86 ($50.41 + 110%) Technical $92.61 ($44.10 + 110%) Clerical $45.32 ($21.58 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 2006, Table 2. Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry group. The rates are from column 1, Total Compensation. The rates have been increased b y 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employ ed by private industry

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

costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standards are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this I CR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are o ne - time costs when a facilit y becomes subject to the regulation. There is no capital cost for continuous monitoring since we have assumed that all existing respondent have installed the necessary equipment for monitoring and for file storage, as described in the total of column D below. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain continuous emission monitors (CEMS), continuous opacity monitors (COMS) and/or parametric monitors (CPMS) at the affected facilities including: f uel catal yt ic cracking units (FCCUs); catal yt ic reforming units (CRUs); sulfur recovery units (SRUs); photocopying and postage, as described below. We have assumed that a respondent would monitor the affected emission units either using a CEMS or CPMS.

The annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three ye ars of the I CR are estimated to be $ 7,831,602 . There are no capital costs in the renewal of this I CR since existing sources have already install ed the necessary

monitoring equipment to comply

with the standard, as described in the total of column D, above. The operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the I CR are estimated to be $ 7,831,602 , as described in Column G, above. We have determined that many of the FCCUs and SRUs are now subject to the NSPS requirements and the associated monitoring would not be attributed to this I CR. **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. The EPA compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as: the review examination of records maintained b y the respondents; periodic inspection of sources of emissions; and the publication and distribution of collected information.
The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $25,813 (see Table 2 below .) This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $58.18 ( GS

- 13, Step 5, $36.36 + 60%) Technical $43.17 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $26.98 + 60%) Clerical $23.36 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $14.60 + 60%) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 2007 General Schedule, which excludes locality

rates of pay . The r ates have been increased b y 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government emplo ye es. Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Annual Burden and Cost to the Federal/State Government: NESHAP for Petroleum R efineries, Cataly tic Cracking, Reforming and Sulfur Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUU) (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 132 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that no additional respondents per ye ar will become subject to the standard. However, it is estimated that three affected emission source units had qualified for a compliance date extension and would be complying with the initial compliance requirements during the period of this I CR (one per y ear); and one affected facility

(0.33 per y ear) will c onduct a performance test due to a process/operating change. The overall average number of respondents per year subject to this standard is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR. **Number of Respondents**

. **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 an d 2, respectivel y, and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 11,040. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost : NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries, Cataly tic Cracking, Reforming and Sulfur Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUU) (Renewal)

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 42 hours (rounded) per response. The total annual capita l/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $ 7,831,602. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.

**(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three y ears is estimated to be 620 labor hours (rounded) at a cost of $25,813 (rounded). See below Table 2 : Annual Agency Burden and Cost : NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries, Cataly tic Cracking, Reforming and Sulfur Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUU) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** There is no change in the labor hours or cost to the respondents in this I CR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations: 1) the regulations have not changed over the past three ye ars and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and 2) the growth rate for the respondents is very low, negative or non

- existent. Therefore, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous I CR refle ct the current burden to the respondents and are reiterated in this I CR. However, there is a correction of a previous error in the calculation of the O&M costs from $6,850,602 to $7,831,602. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 42 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended b y persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclo se 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 compl y with any previously

applicable instructions and13

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 person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it display s a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

**Assu mptions:** 

a W e have determined that 132 major petroleum refineries operate have one or more affected facilities subject to the standard. Fu rthermore, w e have estimated that there is an average of 486 affected units at the 132 major source petroleum refineries. No new or reconstructed facilities are expected over the next 3 years. b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $105.86 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $92.61 per hou r for Technical labor, and $45.32 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2006, ” 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.
c We have assumed that all existing respondents (132 major source petroleum refineries) over the 3

- year term of this ICR have complied with rule initial requirements including the initial performance test. How ever, it was estimated that three (3) affected uni ts had qualified for the compliance date extension due to installation of control equipment and, therefore, would be complying with the initial performance test during the period of this ICR (one per year). d We have assumed that one respondent over the 3

- year term of this ICR will conduct a performance test due to significant process/operating change (1/3 = 0.333).
e All sources would be submitting semiannual compliance reports. f We have assumed that sources have the record system in place to mon itor operations.16

g Depending on the compliance option for the affected facility (i.e., catalytic cracking unit, sulfur recovery units, and by

- pass lines) selected by the respondent and the size of the catalytic cracking unit and control device used (e.g. , w et scrubber, electrostatic precipitator and thermal incinerators), sources are required to either installed c ontinuous opacity monitoring systems and/or continuous parameter monitoring, or choose an alternative option for parameter mo nitoring. h We have assumed that all respondents would have to keep records of their operations according to the operation and maintenance p lan. i We have assumed that it takes respondents approximate one hour to record data per week (52 weeks) and 15 minutes to transmit it semiannually.
