**SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY**  **NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal)**  **1. Identification of the Information Collection 1(a) Title of the Information Collection**  NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal), EPA I CR Number 1054.12 , OMB Control Number 2060

- 0022

. **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Petroleum Refineries were proposed on June 11, 1973, promulgated on March 8, 1974, and most recentl y amended on September 12, 2012 . The amendment provide d technical clarifications and allow ed the option for affected sources to compl y with Subpart J by following the requirements established i n NSPS Subpart Ja rule

. The affected sources are 1) fluid catal yt ic cracking unit (FCCU) catalyst regenerator or fuel gas combustion device (FGCD) other than a flare that commenced construction, reconstruction or modification after June 11, 1973 and on or before May 14, 2007; 2) FGCD that is also a flare that commenced construction, reconstruction or modification after June 11, 1973 and on or before June 24, 2008; or 3) an y Claus sulfur recovery plant with a design capacity of more than 20 long tons per day sulfur feed which commenced construction, reconstruction or modification after October 4, 1976 and on or before May 14, 2007. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J

. (Note: Units that are constructed, rec onstructed or modified after the end date of Subpart J applicability ( e.g. , May

14, 2007 for FGCDs other than a flare and June 24, 2008 for FGCD that is also a flare ) are subject to the requirements under NSPS Subpart Ja

. Under Subpart Ja, a “flare” is n o longer a subcategory of FGCD s and EPA has established a separate s uite of standard s
. At the time of this I CR renewal, all refinery

flares are complying with the NSPS Subpart Ja requirements. ) In general, all NSPS 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 f acility , or any

period during which the monitoring sy stem is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least two 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 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Over the next three ye ars, an average of 150 respondents per ye ar will be subject to the standard , and no additional respondents per year will become subject to the standard.2

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currentl y active I CR without any

“Terms of Clearance.”
In the United States, there are approximately 150 petroleum re fineries that are publicl y owned and operated b y the petroleum refin ing industry . None of these facilities are owned b y either state, local, tribal , or the Federal government. They are all owned and operated solel y b y privately

- owned, for

- profit business es. The burden to the “Affected Public” may be found in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal). The “Federal Government” burden is attributed entirely to work performed b y federal employees or government contractors and may be found in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal).
**2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection**  The EPA is charged under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, to establish standards of performance for new stationary sources that reflect:

**. . .** application of the best technological sy stem of continuous emissions reduction which (taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emissions reduction, or any non - air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrat or determines has been adequatel y demonstrated. Section 111(a)(l). The Agency

refers to this charge as selecting the best demonstrated technology (BDT). Section 111 also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards e very four years. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Act to: (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such moni toring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonabl y require.3

In the Administrator's judgment, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and sulfur oxide emissions from petroleum refineries cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonabl y be anticipated to endanger pub lic health or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS were promulgated for this source category

at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J

. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicab le regulations which w ere promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings. Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility ’ s initial capability to comply

with the emission standard. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance test a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. The notifications required in the standard are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated, leaks are being detected and repaired, and the standard are being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility , verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations. **3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria**  **3(a) Nonduplication** If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directl y to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directl y to the delegated state or local agency . If a state or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a cop y of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, no dupl ication exists. **3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB** An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this I CR was published in the Federal Register ( 79 FR 30117) on May 27, 2014. No comments were received on the burd en published in the Federal Register

.4

**3(c) Consultations** The Agency ’s industry

experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next three years have been considered. The primary source of information as reported b y industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System (OTI S) which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. OTIS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all complianc e data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency ’s internal industry experts. Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed and the standard has been previously

reviewed to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes
. In developing this I CR, we contacted both the American Petroleum Industry at (202) 682

- 8209 and the American Fu el & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) at (202) 457

- 0480. It is our policy

to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice. In this case, no c omments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection** Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequentl y, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility

of detecting violations would be less likely

. **3(e) General Guidelines**
T hese reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated b y OMB under 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5. **3(f) Confidentiality** Any information submitted to the Agency for which a cla im 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 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended b y 43 FR 40000, Septembe r 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions**
T he reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive5

questions. **4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4(a)**  **Respondents/SIC Codes** The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are owners and operators of petroleum refineries . The United States Standard Industrial Classification ( SI C ) code for the respondents affected b y the standards is SI C 2 911 , which corresponds to the North American Industry

Electronic Reporting Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordke eping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies in cooperation with th e respondents continue to create reporting sy stems to transmit data electronically . However, electronic reporting s ys tems are still not widely used. At this time, it is estimated th at approximately 70 percent of the respon dents use electronic reporting.

**(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CMS for opacity , CO, SO 2, and O 2 . Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 5B or 5F; 9; 6; 15; 3 or 3A; 8; 3; 6, 6B, or 8 test, and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Write the notifications and reports listed above. Enter information required to be recorded above. Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and sy stems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of pro cessing and maintaining information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information.8 **Respondent Activities** Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. Currently sources are using monitoring and reporting equipment that provide parameter data in an automated way , e.g., continuous parameter monitoring s ys tem. Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, thi s t ype of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. **5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management**  **5(a) Agency Activities** EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analy sis, storage, and distribution of the required information. **Agency Activities** Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records. Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTI S). **5(b) Collection Methodology and Management** Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated. Performance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source’s initial capability to compl y with the emission standard and no te the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a c heck on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
In formation contained in the reports is entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by

EPA's Office of Compliance. OT IS is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. EPA uses the OTI S for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement b y local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.9

The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for two ye ars. **5(c) Small Entity Flexibility** A majority

of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the ty pes of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for smal l entities. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced. **5(d) Collection Schedule** The specific frequency

for each information collection activity within this request is shown in below Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal)

. **6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection** Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this I CR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction A ct. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. The Agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unle ss it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. **6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden** The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirement s is estimated to be 15,784 ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1). T hese hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency

knowledge and experience with the NSPS program, the previously approved ICR, and an y comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs**  **(i) Estimating Labor Costs** This I CR uses the following labor rates:10 Managerial $1 2 8

. 0 2 ($ 60.98 + 110%) Technical $ 10 1

. 05 ($4 8

. 12 + 110%) Clerical $ 5 1

. 37 ($2 4

. 46 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2014 , “ Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group. ” The rates are from column 1, “ Total compensation. ” The rates have been increased b y 110 p ercent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry

. **(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs** The ty pe of industry

costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are one time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitors and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

This is the total o f column D in the above table. The total operation and maintenance ( O&M) costs for this I CR are $ 719,100

. This is the total of column G. The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three ye ars of the IC R is estimated to be $ 719,100

. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost** The only costs to the Agency

are those costs associated with anal ys is of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the11

examination of records maint ained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 23,553

. This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $ 6 2. 90 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 3 9.31 + 60% ) Technical $ 4 6

. 67 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $ 2 9

- 6, Step 3, $ 15. 78 + 60% ) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) , 20 1 4 General Schedule , which excludes locality

rates of pay

. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees
. Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal)

. **6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs** Based on our research for this I CR, on average over the next three ye ars, approximately 150 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that no additional respondents per ye ar will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 150 per year. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR. **Number of Respondents**

. The total annual labor costs are $1,545,270

. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal)

. **6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables** The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectivel y, and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 15,784

. Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal)

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 53 hours per response

. The to tal annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $ 719,100

. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance13

(O&M) Costs. **(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 518 labor hours at a cost of $23,553 . See Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden**  There is no change in the respondent labor hours in this I CR compared to the previous ICR since the 2012 rule amendments did not require additional monitoring , recordkeeping and reporting requirements under NSPS J

. Modified or reconstructed sources under NSPS Subpart J would trigger NSPS Subpart Ja applicability

. However, there is an increase in the estimated burden cost s . The increase is not due to any program changes ; rather, it is due to the use of updated labor rates. There is also a small increase in the Agency labor hours and cost due to a mathematical correction

. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 53 hours p er response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended b y 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, acqu ire, install, and utilize technology and s ys tems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing way s to compl y 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. An agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.
