Title: NSPS for Equipment Leaks of 

VOC in Petroleum Refineries (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

0983.12, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0067. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on March 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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 in title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

and displayed either by publication in 

the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: This ICR is for the New 

Source Performance Standards (NSPS) 

for Equipment Leaks of VOC (Volatile 

Organic Compounds) in Petroleum 

Refineries in 40 CFR part 60, subparts 

GGG and GGGa. The NSPS in subpart 

GGG were proposed on January 4, 1983, 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
8366 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 30 / Monday, February 14, 2011 / Notices 

and promulgated on May 30, 1984. 

These standards apply to the following 

facilities in petroleum refineries: 

compressors and the group of all 

equipment (e.g., valves, pumps, flanges, 

etc.) within a process unit in VOC 

service, commencing construction, 

modification or reconstruction after the 

date of proposal. Amendments that 

would have added new standards and 

compliance requirements to subpart 

GGG were proposed on November 7, 

2006. In response to public comments, 

all new requirements are being 

incorporated in a new subpart GGGa 

that applies to sources that commence 

construction, reconstruction, or 

modification after November 7, 2006. 

The final amendments to subpart GGG 

involve only clarifications and 

additional compliance options. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities described must make one-timeonly notifications. Owners or operators 

are also required to maintain records of 

the occurrence and duration of any 

startup, shutdown, or malfunction in 

the operation of an affected facility, or 

any period during which the monitoring 

system is inoperative. Monitoring 

requirements specific to Equipment 

Leaks of VOC in Petroleum Refineries 

provide information on which 

components are leaking VOCs. NSPS 

Subpart GGG references the compliance 

requirements of NSPS subpart VV; and 

NSPS subpart GGGa references the 

compliance requirements of NSPS 

subpart VVa. Periodically, owners or 

operators are required to record 

information identifying leaking 

equipment, repair methods used to stop 

the leaks, and dates of repair. The time 

period for this recordkeeping varies and 

depends on equipment type and leak 

history. Semiannual reports are required 

to measure compliance with the 

standards of NSPS Subparts VV and 

VVa, as referenced by NSPS subparts 

GGG and GGGa. These notifications, 

reports, and records are essential in 

determining compliance and in general, 

are required of all sources subject to 

NSPS. Any owner or 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. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 77 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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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: 

Petroleum refineries. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

160. 

Frequency of Response: 2 times per 

year. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

24,525. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$2,319,816, which includes $2,319,816 

exclusively in labor costs, with neither 

capital/startup costs nor operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

overall decrease in the number of 

burden labor hours and an increase in 

the labor hour cost. The burden hours 

have decreased because we anticipate 

that no new refineries will be built in 

the in the United States over the next 

three years. This results in a decrease in 

the number of labor burden hours. We 

also refined our estimate of the number 

of major refineries, which reduced the 

number of affected facilities. 

The increase in labor hour cost is due 

to a recalculation of burden using 

current labor rates and the correction of 

a mathematical error. 

There are no annual capital and O&M 

costs to the regulated entities. Capital 

and O&M costs are not applicable 

because this is a leak detection and 

repair program with no continuous 

monitoring equipment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The SAB was 

established pursuant to the 

Environmental Research, Development, 

and Demonstration Authorization Act 

(ERDAA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to 

provide independent scientific and 

technical advice to the Administrator. 

The SAB is a Federal Advisory 

Committee chartered under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 

U.S.C., App. 2. The SAB will comply 

with the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

In July 2010, the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) released the 

Interim Guidance on Considering 

Environmental Justice During the 

Development of an Action. This 

guidance provides agency analysts and 

decision-makers with information on 

when to consider environmental justice 

in rule making. As a complement to this 

document, EPA is currently developing 

the Technical Guidance for 

Incorporating Environmental Justice 

into Rulemaking Activities 

(Environmental Justice Technical 

Guidance or EJTG). This document will 

provide Agency staff with guidance on 

how to assess disproportionate 

environmental and public health 

impacts of proposed rules and actions 

on minority, low income and 

indigenous populations in a variety of 

regulatory contexts. EPA is seeking a 

SAB review of the draft EJTG document 

to assess the appropriateness and 

scientific soundness of the technical 

guidance. 

Request for Nominations: The SAB 

Staff Office is seeking nominations of
