*Title:*                     NESHAP for Oil and Natural Gas Production (Renewal).                

*ICR Numbers:*                     EPA ICR Number 1788.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0388.                

*ICR Status:*                     This ICR is schedule to expire on February 28, 2010. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the                     **Federal Register**                     when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by publication in the                     **Federal Register**                     or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.                

*Abstract:*                     NESHAP for Oil and Natural Gas Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart HH) (Renewal), were proposed on February 06, 1998, and promulgated on June 17, 1999, only for major sources. On July 8, 2005, a supplemental proposal was proposed for area sources with the final rule effective date on January 03, 2007. This regulation applies to existing and new facilities that are both major and area sources. A major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) is one that has the potential to emit, 10 tons or more of any one hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons or more of total HAP per year; an area source is one with the potential to emit less than this.                

Owners and operators of a new and existing area source are subject to the General Provision (40 CFR part 63, subpart A). In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Semiannual summary reports are also required.

Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the collection of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records.

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. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart HH, as authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information consists of emissions data and other information that have been determined to be private.

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 Number for EPA regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.

*Burden Statement:*                     The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 75 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose, and 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. All existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently changed; 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:*                     Oil and natural gas production.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     132,527.                

*Frequency of Response:*                     Initially, annually, and semiannually.                

*Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:*                     178,974.                

*Estimated Total Annual Cost:*                     $17,243,906, which includes $16,649,703 in labor costs, $23,445 in capital/startup costs, and $570,758 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.                

Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the labor hours in this ICR as compared to the previous one. This ICR combines two ICRs covering major sources and area sources. The new area source standard required initial notification by a large number of respondents. In this ICR, such notifications are not required; therefore the number of labor hours is reduced. It should be noted that this ICR includes a large number of sources that are subject only to the recordkeeping requirements of this regulation and do not report to the agency.

This ICR addresses capital/startup and O&M costs for both major sources, and area sources. Therefore, the capital/startup and O&M costs are higher.
