### Ge neral Information: If you are an owner or operator subject to 40 CFR 98 Subparts P (Hydrogen Production), X (Petrochemical Production), or Y (Petroleum Refineries) you may request to extend the use of best available monitoring methods (BAMM) through December 31, 2013 for any process equipment or unit that operates continuously and for which it is not reasonably feasible to install a required measurement device without a process equipment or unit shutdown, or through a hot tap. You may also request a one- time BAMM extension p ast December 31, 2013, not to extend beyond December 31, 2015. To obtain approval, you must have received previous approval to use BAMM beyond July 1, 2011. This entailed filing an initial notice of intent to EPA by January 1, 2011 and a complete extension request by February 15, 2011. The extension request must demonstrate to the EPA Administrator's satisfaction that it is not practicable to isolate the process equipment or unit and install the measurement equipment without a full shutdown or hot tap.

To submit your extension request to the EPA Administrator for the use of BAMM under Part 98 Subpart A (40 CFR 98.3(j)), you have the option of using the form that follows this page. You must submit your request for an extension under 98.3(j)(3)(ii) within 4 weeks of identifying the need to extend the request, but in any event no later than 4 weeks before the date for the planned process equipment or unit shutdown that was provided in the previous request. You must submit
your request for a one- time extensi on beyond December 31, 2013, under 98.3(j)(7), by June 1,

2013.

Effective immediately, any future BAMM requests must be submitted in hard copy to one of the following addresses:

### Upon receipt, the extension request will be recorded in the EPA tracking system, and the requester will be notified that EPA is evaluating the request. EPA will evaluate your request to

confirm that it is consistent with §98.3(j). The agency will then notify you to confirm approval or denial of the application. As a general matter, EPA will base its decision on the information provided in the timely extension request and does not intend to negotiate on specific issues, or necessarily follow -up with the requester regarding missing data. As time allows, however, EPA may follow up on extension requests with additional questions.

The public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30 minutes per response (the burden was already included in ICR 20090 9- 2060
