Emissions Standards for Hazardous

Air Pollutants for Petroleum Refineries

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this document announces

that the following Information

Collection Request (ICR) reinstatement

has been forwarded to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air

Pollutants for Petroleum Refineries

(OMB Control Number 2060–0340),

which expired July 31, 1996. The ICR

describes the nature of the information

collection and its expected burden and

cost; where appropriate, it includes the

actual data collection instrument.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:

National Emission Standards for

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Petroleum

Refineries (OMB Control No. 2060–

0340; EPA ICR No. 1692.03) expired 7/

31/96. This is a request for a

reinstatement of a collection for which

approval has expired.

Abstract: On August 18, 1995, EPA

promulgated a regulation under section

112 of the Clean Air Act (Act) for

petroleum refineries that emit

Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP). This

regulation was published in 60 FR

43244, August 18, 1995, and is codified

at 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC.

The information being requested

includes a one-time report of start of

construction, anticipated and actual

start-up dates, and physical or

operational changes to existing

facilities; notification of compliance

status reports; periodic reports; and

event triggered (e.g., notification of

installation of a new control device or

reconstruction of an existing control

device, notification of an intent to

perform a performance test) reports. The

periodic reports provide information on

monitored control device parameters

when they are outside of established

ranges and on instances where

inspections revealed problems. Records

(e.g., parameter monitoring data, records

of annual storage vessel inspections) are

required to be maintained on-site for a

minimum of 5 years.

Effective enforcement of the standards

is necessary due to the hazardous nature

of benzene (a known human carcinogen)

and the other HAP’s emitted from

petroleum refineries. The required

records and reports are necessary: (1) to

enable EPA to identify new and existing

sources subject to the standards, and (2)

to assist EPA and State agencies to

which enforcement has been delegated

in determining compliance with the

standards. The EPA uses the reports to

identify facilities that may not be in

compliance with the standards. Based

on reported information, EPA can

decide which facilities should be

inspected and what records or specific

emission sources should be inspected at

each facility. The required records also

provide an indication as to whether

facility personnel are operating and

maintaining control equipment

properly.

In order to retain effective

enforcement (section 114 of the Act) of

the petroleum refinery NESHAP (section

112 of the Act) response to this

information collection is mandatory.

The ICR reinstatement does not

include any burden for third-party or

public disclosures not previously

reviewed and approved by OMB. 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

(see 40 CFR part 2; 40 FR 36902,

September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR

39999, September 28, 1978; 43 FR

42251, September 28, 1978, 44 FR

17674, March 23, 1979).

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 March

10, 1998 (63 FR 11675); no comments

were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 1,494 hours per

respondent. 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 and operators of petroleum

refineries.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

165.
