# AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

# ACTION:

Notice.

# SUMMARY:

                        The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Natural Gas Transmission and Storage (EPA ICR No. 1789.10, OMB Control No. 2060-0418), 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 August 31, 2018. Public comments were previously requested via the                         **Federal Register**                         on June 29, 2017 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An Agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.                    

# DATES:

Additional comments may be submitted on or before September 19, 2018.

*Abstract:*                     The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Natural Gas Transmission and Storage (40 CFR part 63, subpart HHH) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and that either transport or store natural gas prior to entering the pipeline to a local distribution company or to a final end user (if there is no local distribution company). The 2012 amendment eliminates the startup, shutdown and malfunction (SSM) exemption, establishes MACT standards for “small” glycol dehydration units (glycol dehydrators with an actual annual average natural gas flowrate less than 283,000 scmd or actual average benzene emissions less than 0.9 Mg/yr), and requires facilities using carbon adsorbers as a control device to keep records of their carbon replacement schedule. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. 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 with 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHH.                

*Form Numbers:*                     None.                

*Respondents/affected entities:*                     Natural gas transport and storage facilities.                

*Respondent's obligation to respond:*                     Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart HHH).                

*Estimated number of respondents:*                     55 (total).                

*Frequency of response:*                     Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.                          ( print page 42118)    

*Total estimated burden:*                     2,910 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).                

*Total estimated cost:*                     $306,000 (per year), which includes $0 for annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.                

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is an increase in burden hours and number of responses in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This increase is not due to any program changes. The increase is due to an increase in the number of affected sources subject to the rule based on the latest available data, and taking into account growth in this industry.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
