OMB. This form is not intended for submission to OMB. For additional guidance on completing this worksheet

### 2 7 . Abstract (4000 characters maximum, attach additional sheets as necessary):

The amendments to the ICR are a result of the review of the existing NESHAP for Oil and Natural Gas Production (40 CFR Part 63,

Subpart HH) as required by the Clean Air Act. The NESHAP published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart HH were proposed on February 06 , 1998,

and promulgated on June 17 , 1999 only for major sources. On July 8, 2005, a supplemental proposal was published for area sources with

the final rule effective date on January 03, 2007. The current proposed rulemaking applies to existing and new facilities th at are major

sources. A major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) is one that has the potential to emit, 10 tons or more of any one hazardous air

pollutant or 25 tons or more of total HAP per year; an area source is one with the potential to emit less than this. This in f ormation is being

collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63 subpart HH

The proposed rulemaking would amend title 40, chapter I, part 63 subpart HH to include, emission sources for which standards were not

previously developed. We are propos ing these standards for these emission sources pursuant to CAA section 112(d)(2) and (3). Therefore,

the number of affected facilities under this subpart is expected to increase for major sources. The overall change in burden found in this

ICR reflect the provision changes, an update in the cost of labor, and corrections to errors found in EPA ICR number 1788.09.

The period considered in this ICR and throughout this supporting statement is the first three years following the promulgatio n of the

amend ed Oil and Natural Gas Production NESHAP. The estimates of the size of the regulated universe are based on data from the Nati onal

Emissions Inventory (NEI) database. Over the three year period, we expect 426 existing major source facilities to become new

respondents. In addition, we expect a total of 43 new respondents to become subject over the three year period. The average annual

burden from the recordkeeping and reporting requirements is 6 3,308 person hours, with an annual average cost of $2, 119,048 and an

annual capital cost of $245,086.

. Explanation of Change in Burden

Explain the reasons for any program changes or adjustments reported; that is, provide a short statement addressing how the re duction in burden

wa s achieved or why the increase in burden occurred. (If you need more space, provide a short summary here and elaborate in the Supporting

Statement.)

The proposed rulemaking would amend title 40, chapter I, part 63 subpart HH to include, emiss ion sources for which standards were not previously

developed. We are proposing these standards for these emission sources pursuant to CAA section 112(d)(2) and (3). Therefore , the number of

affected facilities under this subpart is expected to increase for major sources. At this time, none of the proposed amendments will affect area

sources. The overall change in burden found in this ICR reflect the provision changes, an update in the cost of labor, and c orrections to errors found

in EPA ICR number 178 8.09.Revised 1/30 /2007
