National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration: Within the context of

its Economics and Human Dimensions

of Climate Fluctuations Program, the

Office of Global Programs of the

National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration will support research

that identifies and analyzes social and

economic impacts associated with

seasonal, year-to-year and intradecadal

climate variability, improves our

understanding of factors that determine

human vulnerability to such

fluctuations, and identifies options for

reducing vulnerability. The program is

particularly interested in learning how

advanced climate information, as well

as an improved understanding of

current coping mechanisms, could be

used for reducing vulnerability and

providing for more efficient adjustment

to these variations. Notice of this

program is included in the Program

Announcement for NOAA’s Climate and

Global Change Program, which is

published each spring in the Federal

Register. The deadline for proposals to

be considered in Fiscal Year 1997 is

expected to be in late summer 1996. For

further information, contact: Claudia

Nierenberg; Office of Global Programs;

Agency Information Collection

Activities: New Source Performance

Standards (NSPS) for Bulk Gasoline

Terminals

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this notice announces that

EPA is planning to submit the following

proposed and/or continuing Information

Collection Requests (ICRs) to the Office

of Management and Budget (OMB).

Before submitting the ICRs to OMB for

review and approval, EPA is soliciting

comments on specific aspects of the

proposed information collections as

described below.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before April 1, 1996.

ADDRESSES: U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, 401 M Street SW.,

Mail Code 2223A, OECA/OC/METD,

Washington, DC 20460. A copy of these

ICRs may be obtained without charge

from Sandy Farmer (202) 260–2740.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Peter Bahor at (202) 564–7029 or Julie

Tankersley at (202) 564–7002 for NSPS

subpart XX, Bulk Gasoline Terminals.

The fax number for either contact is

(202) 564–0050.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Affected

entities: Entities potentially affected by

this action are those which are subject

to NSPS subpart XX, Bulk Gasoline

Terminals.

Title: NSPS subpart XX, Bulk

Gasoline Terminals, OMB number

2060–0006, expires March 31, 1996.

Abstract: Owners or operators of the

affected facilities described must make

the following one-time-only reports:

notification of the date of construction

or reconstruction; notification of the

anticipated and actual dates of start-up;

notification of any physical or

operational change to an existing facility

which may increase the regulated

pollutant emission rate; notification of

the date of the initial performance test;

and the results of the initial

performance test. Owners or operators

are also required to maintain records of

the occurrence and duration of any

start-up, shutdown, or malfunction in

the operation of an affected facility.

These notifications, reports and records

are required, in general, of all sources

subject to NSPS.

Monitoring requirements specific to

bulk gasoline terminals consist mainly

of identifying and documenting vapor

tightness for each gasoline tank truck

that is loaded at the affected facility,

and notifying the owner or operator of

each tank truck that is not vapor tight.

The owner or operator must also

perform a monthly visual inspection for

liquid or vapor leaks, and maintain

records of these inspections at the

facility for a period of two years.

The reporting requirements for this

industry currently include only the

initial notifications and initial

performance test report listed above. All

reports are sent to the delegated State or

local authority. In the event that there

is no such delegated authority, the

reports are sent directly to the EPA

Regional Office. Notifications are used

to inform the Agency or delegated

authority when a source becomes

subject to the standard. The reviewing

authority may then inspect the source to

ensure that the pollution control devices

are properly installed and operated.

Performance test reports are needed as

these 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.

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.

The EPA would like to solicit

comments to:

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

(ii) evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

(iv) minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology, e.g., permitting

electronic submission of responses.

Burden Statement: The estimate was

based on the assumption that there are

49 sources in existence and there would

be three new affected facilities each

year. For reporting requirements it is
3030 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 20 / Tuesday, January 30, 1996 / Notices

estimated that it will take one personhour to read the instructions. The ICR

uses 60 burden hours for the initial

performance test this includes the

burden to write the report of the

performance test. It is assumed that 20%

of all affected facilities will have to

repeat performance tests.

The following is a breakdown used in

the ICR. Burden is calculated as two

hours each for respondents to gather

existing information and write the

reports for; notification of construction/

modification, notification of anticipated

start-up, and notification of initial

performance test. The burden is

calculated as one hour for respondents

to gather existing information and write

a report for notification of actual startup. These are all one time only burdens.

These notifications, reports and records

are required in general, of all sources

subject to NSPS.

Recordkeeping is the only ongoing

burden associated with this ICR. The

recordkeeping burden—time to enter

information—records of start-up,

shutdown, malfunction, or any periods

during which the monitoring system is

inoperative is estimated to be one and

one half hours 50 times per year or

about one occurrence per week.

The burden to enter records of tank

identification numbers is 0.1 of an hour

with the assumption it takes six minutes

to enter each tank truck identification

number. It is estimated there will be

approximately 2,100 truck loadings per

year based on six tank trucks each day

multiplied by 350 days per year. It is

estimated that leak detection records

from monthly inspection of control

equipment is one person-hour every two

years.

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.

Director, Office of Compliance.
