SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3507 (a)(1)(D)), this notice announces

that the Information Collection Request

(ICR) for Petroleum Refineries 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 burden and cost; where

appropriate, it includes the actual data

collection instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before July 19, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY

CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260–

2740, and refer to EPA ICR No. 983.05.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Standards of Performance for

Petroleum Refineries (OMB No. 2060–

0067; EPA ICR No. 0983.05). This is a

request for revision of a currently

approved collection.

Abstract: In the Administrator’s

judgement, volatile organic compound

(VOC) emissions from petroleum

refineries cause or contribute to air

pollution that may reasonably be

anticipated to endanger public health or

welfare. In order to assure compliance

with the emissions standards, adequate

monitoring and recordkeeping is

necessary. If the information required by

the standards were not collected, the

Agency would have no means for

ensuring that compliance with the NSPS

is achieved and maintained by sources

subject to the regulation. The

information collected is also used for

targeting inspections, and is of sufficient

quality to be used as evidence in court.

The information collected is required

under 40 C.F.R. Part 60 Subpart GGG

and records of the information are

required to be maintained for at least

two years. 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 CFR Chapter 15. The Federal

Register Notice required under 5 CFR

1320.8(d), soliciting comments on this

collection of information was published

on 3/26/96 (FR 61, No. 59 p 13181–82).

Upon completion of this comment

period, no comments were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 0.3 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; 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.

Normal Data Collection:

Estimated Hours/Response: 0.344

Estimated Number of Responses: 35

Frequency of Response: 365

Estimated Annual Hour Burden: 4393

Performance Test Burden:

Estimated Hours/Response: 37.67

Estimated Number of Responses: 3

Frequency of Response: 1

Estimated Annual Hour Burden: 113

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

4,506 hours.

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. 0983.05
