Office of Air and Radiation

    Title: NESHAP for Benzene Equipment Leaks (Subpart V)--Information 
Requirements (ICR # 1153.05; OMB # 2060-0068). This is a request to 
extend the expiration date of a currently approved collection without 
any change in the substance or method of collection.
    Abstract: Owners or operators of process units operating in benzene 
service (those containing or contacting fluids consisting by weight of 
at least 10 percent benzene) must submit an application for approval of 
construction or modification, and notice of anticipated and actual 
startup. They must monitor for fugitive benzene emissions, and must 
keep records of this monitoring and of any leaks detected from valves, 
pumps, and compressors, as well as the steps taken to make repairs. 
This includes a weekly visual inspection and reporting of leaks from 
pumps to detect outer seal failure from those pumps containing dual 
mechanical seals. Owners or operators must submit semiannual reports of 
any emissions, leaks or repairs. EPA, or the delegated State authority, 
uses this information to determine the compliance status of sources.
    Burden Statement: The public burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 30 hours per response for 
reporting, and 57 hours annually for recordkeeping. The estimated 
reporting burden includes the time needed to review instructions, 
search existing data sources, gather the data needed and review the 
collection of information.
    Respondents: Owners or operators of process units operating in 
benzene service (those containing or contacting fluids consisting by 
weight of at least 10 percent benzene).
    Estimated No. of Respondents: 200.
    Estimated No. of Responses per Respondent: 2.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 23,539 hours.
    Frequency of Collection: For initial compliance and semiannually.
    Send comments regarding the burden estimate, or any other aspect of 
the information collection, including suggestions for reducing the 
burden, to:

Ms. Sandy Farmer, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Information 
Policy Branch (2136), 401 M Street, SW., Washington, DC 20460 and
