Title: NESHAP for Petroleum 

Refineries (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Numbers 

1692.07, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0340. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on February 29, 2012. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. An 

Agency may not conduct or sponsor, 

and a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. The OMB control numbers for 

EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, and displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or 

by other 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: The National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Petroleum Refineries (40 

CFR part 63, subpart CC) were proposed 

on July 15, 1994, promulgated on 

August 18, 1995, and most recently 

amended on October 28, 2009. These 

regulations apply to the following 

existing and new petroleum refining 

process units and emission points 

located at refineries that are major 

sources of hazardous air pollutants 

(HAPs): Miscellaneous process vents, 

storage vessels, wastewater streams and 

treatment operations, equipment leaks, 

gasoline loading racks, and marine 

vessel loading operations. These 

regulations also apply to storage vessels 

and equipment leaks associated with 

bulk gasoline terminals or pipeline 

breakout stations that are related to an 

affected petroleum refinery. New 

facilities include those that commenced 

construction or reconstruction after the 

date of proposal. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC. 

In general, all NESHAP standards 

require initial notifications, 

performance tests, and periodic reports. 

Owners or operators 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, and are required of all 

sources subject to NESHAP. In addition, 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
10508 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 22, 2012 / Notices 

respondents are required to comply 

with the recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements contained in the following 

rules: Either 40 CFR part 61, subpart VV 

or 40 CFR part 63, subpart H for 

equipment leaks (which includes an 

initial report and semiannual 

summaries of leak detection and repair); 

40 CFR part 61, subpart FF for 

wastewater operations; portions of 40 

CFR part 63, subpart R for gasoline 

loading racks; and 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart Y for marine tank vessel loading 

operations. 

Any owner or operator subject to the 

provisions of this part shall maintain a 

file of these measurements, and retain 

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 authority, the 

reports are sent directly to the EPA 

regional office. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC, as 

authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of 

the Clean Air Act. The required 

information consists of emissions data 

and other information that have been 

determined to be private. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. The OMB Control 

Numbers for the EPA regulations are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR 

chapter 15, and are identified on the 

form and/or instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 315 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 utilize 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: 

Petroleum refineries plants. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

153. 

Frequency of Response: Annually, 

semiannually, occasionally, and 

quarterly. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

511,064 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: There 

are $62,671,642, which includes 

$60,288,291 in labor costs, $2,321,640 

in annualized capital/startup costs, and 

$61,711 in operation and maintenance 

(O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: The 

increase in labor burden and cost to 

industry compared to the most recently 

approved ICR is due to several 

considerations. Firstly, burden from the 

recent ICR amendments, including the 

monthly sampling program and 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements for heat exchange systems, 

are incorporated into the overall 

estimate for this renewal ICR. This 

resulted in an increase in labor hours, 

as well as capital/startup costs and 

operation and maintenance (O&M) 

costs. Secondly, labor rates are updated 

to be consistent with the most recent 

available data from the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics. 

There is also an increase in burden 

hours and costs to the Agency. 

Similarly, this is due to a program 

change, as well as the most updated 

labor rates. 

The combining of the previous ICR 

with EPA ICR number 2334.02, has 

attributed also to the increase in burden 

hours and costs.
