Short
Characterization/
Abstract
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
Petroleum
Refineries
for
the
standards
published
at
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
J
were
proposed
on
June
11,
1973,
and
promulgated
on
March
8,
1974.
These
standards
apply
to
the
following
affected
facilities
in
petroleum
refineries:
fluid
catalytic
cracking
unit
catalyst
regenerators,
fuel
gas
combustion
devices,
and
Claus
sulfur
recovery
plants
of
more
than
20
long
tons
per
day
commencing
construction,
modification
or
reconstruction
after
the
date
of
proposal.
The
pollutants
regulated
under
this
Subpart
are
particulate
matter,
carbon
monoxide,
and
sulfur
oxides.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
J.

In
general,
all
NSPS
require
initial
notifications,
performance
tests,
and
periodic
reports.
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,
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
sources
subject
to
NSPS.

Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
two
years
following
the
date
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.

Approximately
130
affected
facilities
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard.
It
is
estimated
that
on
average,
no
additional
affected
units
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
J.
The
average
annual
respondent
cost
for
this
ICR
will
be
$
960,646.01.

There
are
no
terms
of
clearance
for
this
ICR.
This
submission
properly
accounts
for
the
amortization
of
capital
costs
beyond
the
three
year
period
for
which
this
ICR
is
approved.

Need
for
and
Use
of
the
Collection
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
EPA
is
charged
under
Section
111
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
(
CAA),
as
amended,
to
establish
standards
of
performance
for
new
stationary
sources
that
reflect:

".
.
.
application
of
the
best
technological
system
of
continuous
emissions
reduction
which
(
taking
into
consideration
the
cost
of
achieving
such
emissions
reduction,
or
any
non­
air
quality
health
and
environmental
impact
and
energy
requirements)
the
Administrator
determines
has
been
adequately
demonstrated."
Section
111(
a)(
l).

The
Agency
refers
to
this
charge
as
selecting
the
best
demonstrated
technology.
Section
111
also
requires
that
the
Administrator
review
and,
if
appropriate,
revise
such
standards
every
four
years.
In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
particulate
matter,
carbon
monoxide
and
sulfur
oxides
emissions
from
petroleum
refineries
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
NSPS
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
J.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
particulate
matter,
carbon
monoxide,
and
sulfur
oxides
from
petroleum
refineries
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
particulate
matter,
carbon
monoxide,
and
sulfur
oxides
from
petroleum
refineries
are
the
result
of
operation
of
fluid
catalytic
cracking
unit
catalyst
regenerators,
fuel
gas
combustion
devices
and
Claus
sulfur
recovery
plants.
For
sulfur
oxides
emissions
the
standards
rely
on
the
capture
of
sulfur
oxides
emissions
vented
to
a
control
device
or
by
allowing
a
maximum
sulfur
content
in
the
feed
stream.
The
owners
or
operators
of
affected
facilities
are
required
to
install
a
continuous
emission
monitor
and
record
the
emission
levels
of
opacity,
carbon
monoxide,
and
sulfur
dioxide
or
hydrogen
sulfide.
Owners
or
operators
are
required
to
report
all
periods
of
emissions
in
excess
of
the
standard.

The
required
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
check
if
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated
and
that
the
standard
is
being
met.
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/
or
note
the
operating
conditions
(
maximum
hydrogen
sulfide
levels
in
the
fuel
gas)
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.
3
Except
for
excess
emission
data
for
SO
2,
EPA
reduced
the
reporting
frequency
for
this
information
from
quarterly
to
semiannually
in
a
December
1990
Federal
Register
Notice.
The
reduction
in
reporting
frequency
was
in
response
to
OMB's
previous
questions
regarding
the
need
for
quarterly
versus
semiannual
reporting.
The
information
generated
by
the
monitoring,
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
described
in
this
ICR
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
ensure
that
facilities
affected
by
the
NSPS
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
and
achieve
compliance
with
the
standards.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
is
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulations,
as
required
by
the
Clean
Air
Act.
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.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requested
is
required
under
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
J.

3(
a)
Nonduplication
If
the
subject
standards
have
not
been
delegated,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
appropriate
EPA
Regional
Office.
Otherwise,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
delegated
State
or
local
agency.
If
a
State
or
local
agency
has
adopted
their
own
similar
standards
to
implement
the
Federal
standards,
a
copy
of
the
report
submitted
to
the
State
or
local
agency
can
be
sent
to
the
Administrator
in
lieu
of
the
report
required
by
the
Federal
standards.
Therefore,
no
duplication
exists.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
(
67
FR
4421),
on
January
30,
2002.
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
Because
petroleum
refineries
are
one
of
the
national
priority
industry
sectors
EPA
data
bases
(
such
as
AFS)
have
accurate
and
up
to
date
information
on
this
industry
so
no
consultation
beyond
the
request
for
comments
was
undertaken.
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
standards.
Requirements
for
information
gathering
and
recordkeeping
are
useful
techniques
to
ensure
that
good
operation
and
maintenance
practices
are
applied
and
emission
limitations
are
met.
If
the
information
required
by
these
standards
was
4
collected
less
frequently,
the
likelihood
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
and
noncompliance
would
decrease.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
None
of
these
reporting
or
recordkeeping
requirements
violate
any
of
the
regulations
established
by
OMB
at
5
CFR
1320.6.

3(
f)
Confidentiality
The
required
information
consists
of
emissions
data
and
other
information
that
have
been
determined
not
to
be
private.
However,
any
information
submitted
to
the
Agency
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made
will
be
safeguarded
according
to
the
Agency
policies
set
forth
in

5(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
Following
notification
of
startup,
the
reviewing
authority
might
inspect
the
source
to
check
if
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated.
Performance
test
reports
are
used
by
the
Agency
to
discern
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard.
Data
obtained
during
periodic
visits
by
Agency
personnel
from
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
for
internal
Agency
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.
The
quarterly
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

Information
contained
in
the
reports
is
entered
into
AFS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards.
AFS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
over
100,000
industrial
and
government­
owned
facilities.
EPA
uses
AFS
for
tracking
air
pollution
compliance
and
enforcement
by
State
and
local
regulatory
agencies,
EPA
Regional
Offices
and
EPA
Headquarters.
EPA
and
its
delegated
Authorities
can
edit,
store,
retrieve
and
analyze
the
data.

The
records
required
by
this
NSPS
must
be
retained
by
the
owner
or
operator
for
two
years.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
A
majority
of
the
affected
facilities
are
large
entities
(
e.
g.,
large
businesses).
However,
the
impact
on
small
entities
(
i.
e.,
small
businesses)
was
taken
into
consideration
during
the
development
of
the
regulation.
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
were
selected
within
the
context
of
Subpart
J
and
the
specific
process
equipment
and
pollutants.
Due
to
technical
considerations
involving
the
process
operations
and
the
types
of
control
equipment
employed,
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
are
the
same
for
both
small
and
large
entities.
The
Agency
considers
these
requirements
the
minimum
needed
to
ensure
compliance
8
and,
therefore,
cannot
reduce
them
further
for
small
entities.
To
the
extent
that
larger
businesses
can
use
economies
of
scale
to
reduce
their
burden,
the
overall
burden
will
be
reduced.

documents
the
computation
of
individual
burdens
for
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
applicable
to
the
industry
for
the
Subpart
included
in
this
ICR.
The
individual
burdens
are
expressed
under
standardized
headings
believed
to
be
consistent
with
the
concept
of
burden
under
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act.
Where
appropriate,
specific
tasks
and
major
assumptions
have
been
identified.
Responses
to
this
information
collection
are
mandatory.

The
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.

6(
a)
Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
estimated
to
be
11,375
(
Total
Labor
Hours
from
Table
2).
These
hours
are
based
on
Agency
studies
and
background

Estimating
Respondent
Costs
(
i)
Estimating
Labor
Costs
This
ICR
uses
a
Technical
Labor
Rate
of
$
55.34
($
26.35
+
110%
overhead)
per
hour.
This
rate
is
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Commerce,
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
March
2000,
"
Table
10.
Private
industry,
by
occupational
and
industry
group."
The
rates
are
from
column
1,
"
Total
compensation."
The
wage
rate
has
been
increased
by
110%
to
account
for
the
benefit
packages
available
to
those
employed
by
private
industry.

(

Estimating
Capital
and
Operations
and
Maintenance
Costs
The
type
of
industry
costs
associated
with
the
information
collection
activity
in
the
regulations
are
labor
and
Continuous
Emissions
Monitoring.
The
capital/
startup
costs
are
one
time
costs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
standards.
The
annual
operation
and
maintenance
costs
are
the
ongoing
costs
to
maintain
the
monitor
and
other
costs
such
as
9
photocopying
and
postage.
Since
there
are
no
new
sources
on
average
anticipated
over
the
next
3
years
there
are
no
capital
costs
associated
with
this
information
collection.

(
iii)
Capital/
Start­
up
vs.
Operating
and
Maintenance
(
O&
M)
Costs
Since
there
are
no
new
sources
on
average
anticipated
over
the
next
3
years
there
are
no
capital
costs
associated
with
this
information
collection.
Capital/
startup
costs
are
shown
in
block
14(
a),
Total
annualized
capital/
startup
costs,
on
the
OMB
83­
I
form.
It
should
be
noted
that
the
numbers
in
block
14
of
the
OMB
83­
I
form
are
rounded
to
show
the
cost
in
thousands
of
dollars.

The
total
operation
and
maintenance
(
O&
M)
costs
for
this
ICR
are
$
91,000.
This
is
based
on
130
existing
sources
multiplied
by
$
700
dollars
(
increasing
from
the
last
ICR
to
reflect
the
current
Consumer
Price
Index)
for
upkeep
of
the
monitoring
device.
These
costs
are
shown
in
block
14(
b),
Total
annual
costs
(
O&
M),
on
the
OMB
83­
I
form.

The
total
respondent
non­
labor
costs
in
block
14
have
been
calculated
as
the
addition
of
the
capital/
startup
costs,
and
the
annual
operation
and
maintenance
costs.
The
average
annual
cost
for
capital/
startup,
and
operation
and
maintenance
costs
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
91,000
.
This
cost
is
shown
on
the
OMB
83­
I
form
in
block
14
(

Total
annualized
cost
requested.

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
costs
to
the
Agency
are
those
costs
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
information.
Publication
and
distribution
of
the
information
are
part
of
the
AFS
program.
Examination
of
records
to
be
maintained
by
the
respondents
will
occur
as
part
of
the
periodic
inspection
of
sources,
which
is
part
of
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program.

The
average
annual
Agency
cost
during
the
3
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
14,630
(
see
Table
1:
Average
Annual
EPA
Resource
Requirements
Resulting
From
NSPS
Subpart
J).
This
cost
is
based
on
the
average
hourly
labor
rate
at
a
GS­
12,
Step
1
($
23.94),
times
a
1.6
benefits
multiplication
factor
to
account
for
government
overhead
expenses
for
a
total
of
$
38.30.
These
rates
are
from
OPM's
"
2002
General
Schedule"
which
excludes
locality
rates
of
pay.

6(

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
decrease
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
an
adjustment
in
labor
rates
and
a
correction
in
calculation
errors
from
the
prior
ICR..
The
previous
ICR
counted
1.5
affected
units
per
refinery
for
the
respondents,
and
this
ICR
counts
each
refinery
as
a
respondent.
Also
the
previous
ICR
did
not
properly
account
for
quarterly
reporting.

6(
g)
Burden
Statement
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

train
personnel
to
be
able
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;
complete
and
review
the
11
collection
of
information;
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.
An
agency
may
not
conduct
or

and
a
person
is
not
required
to
respond
to,
a
collection
of
information
unless
it
