    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the 
regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart K were proposed on 
June 11, 1973, and promulgated on March 8, 1974. These regulations 
apply to existing facilities and new facilities that store petroleum 
liquids in storage vessels with a storage capacity greater than 151,416 
liters (40,000 gallons), including: Storage vessels with capacity 
greater than 151,416 liters (40,000 gallons), but not exceeding 246,052 
liters (65,000 gallons). New facilities include those that commenced 
construction, modification after the date of proposal. This information 
is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart K.
    In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Refineries.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory.
    Estimated number of respondents: 69 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 321 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).

[[Page 18282]]

    Total estimated cost: $36,500 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no change in the burden in this 
ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations. 
First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and 
are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Secondly, the 
growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or non-existent, so 
there is no significant change in the overall burden. There is an 
adjustment increase in labor costs; the increase is due to updated 
labor rates, which increases the hourly labor cost. There are no 
capital or operating and maintenance costs associated with this rule.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
