SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: National Emission Standards for

Hazardous Air Pollutants, Benzene

Emissions from Benzene Storage

Vessels, and Coke Byproduct Recovery

Plants—40 CFR Part 61, Subparts Y and

L, OMB No. 2060–0185. This is request

for a revision of a currently approved

collection.

Abstract:

Subpart L: Coke By-Product Recovery

Plants

The standards require initial

notification reports with respect to

construction, emissions tests, and

startup; one-time reports on initial

performance tests; and periodic reports

of emissions tests results.

Notifications inform the Agency or

delegated authority when a source

becomes subject to the standard. The

reviewing authority may then inspect

the source to check that pollution

control devices are properly installed

and operated and the standards are

being met. Performance test reports are

the Agency’s record of a source’s initial

capability to comply with the emission

standard, and note the operating

conditions under which compliance

was achieved. The regular reports are

used for problem identification, as a

check on source operation and

maintenance, and for compliance

determinations.

The Agency uses the information

generated by the monitoring,

recordkeeping and reporting

requirements to ensure that facilities

continue to operate the control

equipment used to achieve compliance.

The information collected from

recordkeeping and reporting

requirements is also used for targeting

inspections, and is of sufficient quality

to be used as evidence in court. Based

on reported information, EPA decides

how many plant inspections are needed,

which plants to inspect, and what

records or processes to inspect at the

plant. In the absence of such

information enforcement personnel

would be unable to determine whether

the standards are being met on a

continuous basis, as required by the

Clean Air Act.

Reporting requirements specific to

benzene coke by-product recovery

plants, Subpart L, include a semiannual

report by affected facilities. The

semiannual reports include results of

leak monitoring and performance tests.

Respondents also are required to submit

semiannual reports of measurements for

sources subject to a no detectable

emissions limit and semiannual reports

summarizing the results of the leak

detection and repair program

implemented at the plant. One report

would incorporate information for both

process equipment and fugitive sources.

Exhausters are subject to quarterly

monitoring requirements unless the

exhauster is equipped with a seal

system that has a barrier fluid, the

exhauster seal is loaded and vented to

a control device, or a leakless exhauster

is used.

The owner or operator choosing to use

one of the alternative control

technologies (i.e., a carbon absorber or

a vapor incinerator) must record for the

life of the control device, the design of

the control device, the sources which it

is intended to control, and a plan for the

operation, maintenance and action

needed to correct problems. Such a

record would assist the owner or

operator to operate the device properly

throughout its life and would also assist

the enforcement personnel in

determining whether the device had

been properly maintained and

appropriate corrective action had been

taken. The owner or operator is required

to record the results of each test for

determining compliance with the

standard and any data that provide

reference values for parameters that are

important to monitoring, such as

temperature of the firebox in a vapor

incinerator and the benzene

concentration at the inlet to a carbon

adsorber. Some of these data are

gathered during the compliance test,

others separately (e.g., the demonstrated

bed life of a carbon adsorber).

The alternative control options also

require reporting in accordance with the

General Provisions. These are submitted

each time a compliance test is

performed. In addition, the rule requires

reporting of exceedances of the

monitored parameters, with a brief

description of the corrective action

taken.

Any owner or operator subject to the

provisions of this part shall maintain an

up-to-date file of monitoring and

recordings, and retain them for at least

two years following. Records of

equipment and process design are kept

permanently.

Subpart Y: Benzene Storage Vessels

Respondents are all owners or

operators of benzene storage vessels. It

is estimated that 126 existing plants are

subject to the standard. All owners and

operators of new or reconstructed plants

would also have to respond.

In the General Provisions of 40 CFR

Part 61 applicable to storage vessels,

require up to four separate one timeonly reports for each owner or operator:

notification of construction or

reconstruction, initial source report,

notification of physical/operational

changes, notification of anticipated and

actual startup. The initial source report

is the only one of these reports that

would be required from existing sources

under the standard.

Certain records and reports are

necessary to assist EPA and State

agencies to which enforcement has been

delegated in determining compliance

with the standard.

The standard is an equipment

standard and owners or operators of

vessels equipped with the specified

controls are required to submit, along

with the notifications required by the

General Provisions, a report that

describes the control equipment used to

comply with the regulation. Thereafter,

an annual visual inspection is required

of the primary seal of internal floating

roof vessels (IFR’s) (in cases where no

secondary seal is present, (An annual

seal gap measurement of the secondary

seal system on external floating roof

vessels (EFR’s).) The following
