Agency Information Collection

Activities Under OMB Review;

NESHAP for Benzene Emissions From

Bulk Transfer Operations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 350

et seq.), this notice announces that the

Information Collection Request (ICR) for

NESHAP for Benzene Emissions from

Bulk Transfer Operations described

below has been forwarded to the Office

of Management and Budget (OMB) for

review and comment. The ICR describes

the nature of the information collection

and its expected cost and burden; where

appropriate, it includes the actual data

collection instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before January 19, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY

CALL: Sandy Farmer, United States

Environmental Protection Agency, 202–

260–2740, and refer to EPA ICR No.

1154.04 and OMB No. 2060–0182.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: NESHAP for Benzene Emissions

from Bulk Transfer Operations—40 CFR

Part 61, Subpart BB, OMB No. 2060–

0182. This is request for a revision of a

currently approved collection.

Abstract: The National Emission

Standards for Benzene Emissions from

Benzene Transfer Operations were

proposed on September 14, 1989 and

promulgated on March 7, 1990. The

standards are codified at 40 CFR Part 61,

Subpart BB.

These standards apply to the

following facilities in benzene transfer

operations: the total of all loading racks

at which benzene is loaded into tank

trucks, railcars, or marine vessels at

each benzene production facility and

each bulk terminal. Specifically

exempted from the regulation are

loading racks at which only the

following are loaded: benzene-laden

waste (covered under Subpart FF of Part

61), gasoline, crude oil, natural gas

liquids, petroleum distillates (e.g., fuel

oil, diesel, or kerosene), or benzeneladen liquid from coke by-product

recovery plants. Any affected facility

which loads only liquid containing less

than 70 weight-percent benzene or

whose annual benzene loading is less

than 1.3 million liters of 70 weightpercent or more benzene is exempt from

the control requirements and need only

maintain records and submit an initial

report. The control requirements for

bulk transfer facilities require that

benzene emissions be routed to a

control device that achieves a 98

weight-percent emissions reduction,

and (2) that loading of benzene be

limited to vapor-tight tank trucks or

vapor-tight railcars.

Owners or operators of the affected

facilities described must take the

following one-time-only notices or

reports: notification of anticipated

startup; notification of actual startup;

initial compliance report (or control

exemption by sources below cut-off);

notification of emission test, report

following an emission test; notification

of a monitoring system performance

test; and report following a monitoring

system performance test. These

notifications and reports are general

provisions and required of all sources

subject to any NESHAP.

Monitoring and recording

requirements specific to benzene

transfer operating include vaportightness documentation, and

monitoring and operation parameters

specific to the control method chosen

(incinerator, vent valves status, steam

generator, process heater, flare, carbon

adsorption). Sources must maintain

records of periods exceeding most

recent performance test parameters,

including the date and time of any

exceedance or deviation, the nature and

cause of the malfunction and corrective

measures taken.

Owners or operators are also required

to maintain records of the occurrence

and duration of any period during

which the monitoring system is

malfunctioning or inoperative.

Reporting requirements specific to

benzene transfer operations include an

initial engineering report and a

quarterly report by affected facilities

subject to the standards at § 61.302. The

quarterly reports include excess

emissions and deviations in operating

parameters. Sources not subject to the

control standards must continue to

record information and must file a

report only the first year.

Monitoring and record keeping

requirements specific to benzene

transfer operations provide information

on the operation of the emissions

control device and compliance with the

standards. Any owner or operator

subject to the provisions of this part

shall maintain an up-to-date file of these

measurements and recordings, and

retain them for at least two years

following. Vapor tightness

documentation, and control device

parameters must be kept permanently.

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 C.F.R. Charter

15. The Federal Register Notice required

under 5 C.F.R. 1320.8(d), soliciting

comments on this collection of

information was published on

September 28, 1995.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 25.34 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 estimate

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: 81.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

81.

Frequency of Response: 324 per year.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

14,685 Hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Cost

Burden: $447,158.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the following addresses.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1154.04 and

OMB Control No. 2060–0182 in any

correspondence.
