SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: National Emission Standards for

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source

Categories: Gasoline Distribution (Stage

I), 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R, OMB

Control Number 2060–0325; EPA ICR

No. 1659.04 expiration date February

28, 2001. This is a request for extension

of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: This ICR contains record

keeping and reporting requirements that

are mandatory for compliance with 40

CFR part 63, subpart R. Effective

enforcement of this rule is necessary

due to the hazardous nature of benzene

(a known human carcinogen) and the

toxic nature of the other 10 Hazardous

Air Pollutants (HAP) emitted from

gasoline distribution facilities. In order

to ensure compliance with the

standards, adequate reporting and

recordkeeping is necessary. This

information enables the Agency to: (1)

Identify the sources subject to the

standard; (2) Ensure that leakage

emissions from cargo tanks and process

piping equipment components (both

liquid and vapor) during loading are

being minimized; (3) Ensure that

emission control devices are being

properly operated and maintained; and

(4) Ensure that emissions from storage

vessels are minimized and rim seal and

fitting defects are repaired on a timely

basis.

Specifically, the rule’s reporting

requirements that apply to both bulk

gasoline terminals and pipeline

breakout stations include initial

notification; notification of compliance

status; notification of construction/

reconstruction; notification of

anticipated startup; semiannual reports;

and reporting of area source

compliance. In addition, bulk gasoline

terminals are required to provide

notification of performance tests and on

CMS evaluation. The rule’s record

keeping requirements that apply to both

bulk gasoline terminals and pipeline

breakout stations entail maintaining

records of: equipment visual

inspections; equipment leak data;

storage tank seal inspections; startups/

shutdowns/malfunctions; and area

source status. In addition, bulk gasoline

terminals are required to maintain

records by filing cargo tank inspection

records; updating cargo tank

inspections; and by cross-checking the

cargo tank inspection file.

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 are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. The Federal Register document

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on August

17, 2000 (65 FR 50196). No comments

were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and record keeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 62 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; 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:

Owners/operators of new/existing

pipeline breakout stations or bulk

gasoline terminals.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

263.

Frequency of Response: Semiannually and on occasion.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

32,575 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Capital,

O&M Cost Burden: $851,000.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the addresses listed above.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1659.04 and

OMB Control No. 2060–0325 in any

correspondence.

Dated: November 16, 2000.
