NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CC) (Renewal)

1.  Identification of the Information Collection

      1(a)  Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CC) (Renewal),
EPA ICR Numbers 1692.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0340  

      1(b)  Short Characterization/Abstract
      
      The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR part 63, subpart CC) were proposed on July 15, 1994, promulgated on August 18, 1995, and most recently amended on October 28, 2009.  These regulations apply to the following existing and new petroleum refining process units and emission points located at refineries that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions, including: miscellaneous process vents, storage vessels, wastewater streams, equipment leaks, gasoline loading racks, and marine vessel loading operations.  Provisions was also added for the control of HAP emissions from heat exchange systems, which include closed-loop recirculation systems with cooling towers and once-through cooling water systems.      These regulations also apply to storage vessels and equipment leaks associated with bulk gasoline terminals or pipeline breakout stations that are related to an affected petroleum refinery.  New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal.  This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC.

      In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports.  Owners or operators 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 sources subject to NESHAP.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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 five 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 U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Approximately 153 sources are currently subject to the regulation, and it is estimated that one additional source will become subject to the regulation in the next three years.  It is assumed that, on average, a refinery will reconstruct 10 percent of the existing storage vessels, process units subject to equipment leak provisions, and process vents. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This ICR is being combined with ICR number 2334.02, OMB control number 2060-0340, and the renewal ICR.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
      The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active ICR without any "Terms of Clearance." 
      
      There are approximately 153 petroleum refineries in the United States, which are owned and operated by the petroleum refinery industry.  None of the facilities in the United States are owned by state, local, tribal or the Federal government; all are privately, owned for-profit businesses.  The burden to the "Affected Public" is listed below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CC) (Renewal).  The Federal government burden associated with the review of reports submitted by the respondent as shown below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CC) (Renewal).   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.  Need for and Use of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(a)  Need/Authority for the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The EPA is charged under section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants.  These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction.  In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner or operator subject to any requirement of this Act to: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonably require.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from petroleum refineries cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.  Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(b)  Practical Utility/Users of the Data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
       The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations, which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act.  In addition, the collected information is used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.
      
      Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility's initial capability to comply with the emission standard.  Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times.  During the performance tests, a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved, may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor.
      
      The notifications required in the standard are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations.  The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to ensure that the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated, that leaks are being detected and repaired, and that the standards are being met.  The performance test may also be observed.
      
      The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, to identify problems at the facility, to verify operation/maintenance procedures and compliance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.  Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(a)  Non-duplication
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       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 its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the state or local agency is 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 (76 FR 26900) on May 9, 2011.  No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(c)  Consultations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Agency has consulted industry experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years.  The primary source of information as reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard is the OTIS, which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance.  OTIS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data.  We estimate that there are approximately 153 existing respondents subject to the standard and that one new source will become subject to the standard over the three-year period covered by this ICR.
      
      Industry trade association and other interested parties was provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed and the standard has been previously reviewed to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes.  For this renewal, we consulted with the following representatives:  
      
Contact
Organization
Phone
David Friedman
National Petrochemical & Refiners Association
(202) 457-0480
Steve Hagle
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(512) 239-3900

      It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received from the public since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice.  In this case, no comments were received.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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 met.  If the information required by these standards were collected less frequently, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(e)  General Guidelines
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations established by OMB at 5 CFR 1320.5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These standards require respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications, for at least five years.  This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards.  EPA believes that the five-year records retention requirement is consistent the Part 70 permit program and the five-year statute of limitations on which the permit program is based.  In addition, the retention of records for five years would allow EPA to establish the compliance history of a source and any pattern of compliance for purposes of determining the appropriate level of enforcement action.  EPA has found that the most flagrant violators frequently have violations extending beyond the five years.  In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(f)  Confidentiality
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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 Title 40, Chapter 1, part 2, subpart B - Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(g)  Sensitive Questions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not contain sensitive questions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Electronic Reporting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data.  Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Also, regulatory agencies, in cooperation with the respondents continue to create reporting systems to transmit data electronically.  However, electronic reporting systems are not widely used.  At this time, it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (ii)  Respondent Activities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Respondent Activities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Read instructions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate continuous temperature monitors or other monitoring devices for HAP control devices.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perform initial performance test and repeat performance tests if necessary.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Write the notifications and reports listed above.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enter information required to be recorded above.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Currently, sources are using monitoring equipment that provides parameter data in an automated way (e.g., continuous parameter monitoring system).  Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.  The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(a)  Agency Activities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agency Activities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Observe initial performance tests and observe repeat performance tests if necessary.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audit facility records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information System (OTIS).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(b)  Collection Methodology and Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operational.  Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard, and to note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved.  Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs.  The semiannual 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 the OTIS, which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance.  OTIS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government-owned facilities.  The EPA uses the OTIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters.  The EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner or operator for five years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(c)  Small Entity Flexibility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      A majority of the affected facilities are large entities (e.g., large businesses).  However, the impact on small businesses was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation.  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 the requirements the minimum needed to ensure compliance 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(d)  Collection Schedule
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CC) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.  Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Table 1 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, we have identified the specific tasks and major assumptions in the burden calculations.  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 511,064 (Total Labor Hours from Table 1).  These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously approved ICR, and any comments received.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(b)  Estimating Respondent Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (i)  Estimating Labor Costs 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This ICR uses the following labor rates: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Managerial				$161.11  ($76.72 + 110%)   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Technical				$126.27  ($60.13 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Installation, maintenance, and repair	$59.03    ($28.11 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Plant operator				$52.44    ($24.97 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Clerical				$43.81    ($20.86 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2010, "NAICS 324100 - Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing."  The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (ii)  Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The type of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard are both labor costs, which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR, and the costs associated with purchasing equipment.  The leak detection and repair program for heat exchange systems will require the purchase and installation of an air stripping column apparatus for sample collection and an FID analyzer to determine the concentration of air stripped compounds although samples may also be collected in canisters for shipment to analytical laboratories.     The air-stripping column is portable and may be used for multiple heat exchange systems.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (iii)  Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The NESHAP subpart CC, as amended in October 2009, incorporates requirements for parametric monitoring of control devices that are included in other rules to which petroleum refineries are already subject.  The only new equipment required in order complying with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of this NESHAP is for heat exchange systems and comprises an air-stripping column for sample collection, associated equipment, and an FID analyzer.  However, it is estimated that approximately 9 percent of refineries will already have this equipment.  For the other 91 percent of facilities, the capital cost for the purchase and installation of this equipment is approximately $116,870. O&M costs are based on one mid-point calibration every month for 180 heat exchange systems per year.

[a] Assumes 91% of 153 existing respondents need to purchase and install equipment. Additionally one new respondent will be subject to the standard in the next three years. Therefore, the total number of respondents is 153 x 91% + 1/3 = 139.5 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are $16,303,365.  This is the total of column D in the above table.  In addition, the annualized capital/startup to the industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $2,321,640 using capital discount rate of 7 percent over 10 years.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $61,711/yr.  This is the total of column G. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to the industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $2,383,351.  These are recordkeeping costs.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(c)  Estimating Agency Burden and Cost
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The only costs to the Agency are those labor costs associated with analysis of the reported information.  EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $322,542.  This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:
      
            Managerial	$62.27   (GS-13, Step 5, $38.92 + 60%)
            Technical	$46.21   (GS-12, Step 1, $28.88+ 60%) 
            Clerical	$25.01   (GS-6, Step 3, $15.63 + 60%)
            
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 2011 "General Schedule", which excludes locality rates of pay.  Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CC) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(d)  Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Based on our research for this ICR, approximately 153 existing sources are currently subject to the standard.  It is estimated that one additional source will become subject to the standard in the next three years.  It is assumed that, on average, a refinery will reconstruct 10 percent of the existing storage vessels, process units subject to equipment leak provisions, and process vents.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The number of respondents is calculated using the following table, which addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

      [1] New respondents include sources with constructed and reconstructed affected facilities.  In this standard, existing respondents submit initial notifications. It is assumed that, on average, a refinery will reconstruct 10 percent of the existing storage vessels, process units subject to equipment leak provisions, and process vents. It is estimated that one additional source will become subject to the regulation in the next three years.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      To avoid double-counting respondents column D is subtracted.  As shown above, the average Number of Respondents over the three-year period of this ICR is 153.3.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The increase in labor burden and cost to industry compared to the most recently approved ICR is due to several considerations.  First, burden from the recent ICR amendments, including the monthly sampling program and reporting and recordkeeping requirements for heat exchange systems, were incorporated into the overall estimate for this renewal ICR.  This resulted in an increase in labor hours, as well as capital/startup costs and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.  Second, labor rates were updated to be consistent with the most recent available data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      There is also an increase in burden hours and costs to the Agency.  Similarly, this is due to a program change, as well as the most updated labor rates. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The combining of the previous ICR with EPA ICR number 2334.02, has attributed also to the increase in burden hours and costs. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(g)  Burden Statement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 315 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; to 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; to adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; to train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number.  The OMB Control Numbers for EPA's regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

Assumptions:

[a]  There are 153 existing petroleum refineries in the U.S., and one new refinery is expected during the next 3 years, yielding an annual average of 153.3 respondents over the next three years. We estimate that all existing refineries would have to reconstruct 10 percent of existing affected facility each year to accommodate increased in refinery production.   We have assumed that a refinery would have the following affected facilities: 9 storage vessels, 11 process units which are subject to leak detection and repair (LDAR) provisions, 9 process vents for which it would be required to do monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting, and 3 heat exchange systems which are subject to a monthly sampling program and a recordkeeping and reporting requirements to ensure compliance with the program.  
b  This ICR uses the following labor rates: $161.11 per hour for executive, administrative, and managerial labor; $43.81 per hour for clerical labor; $126.27 per hour for technical labor; $59.03 per hour for installation, maintenance, and repair; and $52.44 per hour for plant operators.  These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2010, "NAICS 324100 - Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing."  The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry
[c]  We have assumed that the initial notifications and periodic reporting required by this rule for existing sources are already accounted for in existing NSPS and NESHAP regulations for equipment leaks, wastewater and storage tanks.  However, this ICR addresses the additional burden for industry associated with addressing the rule requirements in the compliance report for all respondents.   Startup, shutdown and malfunction reports are included with the semiannual reports.
[d]  We have assumed that all existing respondents over 3-year term of ICR have complied with the rule initial monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements on their existing units including:  initial  notifications; the design analysis and establishing operating parameters for storage vessels, LDAR  initial requirements, and initial performance test for process vents routed to a control device (4 of 9 process vents); and development of startup and malfunction plan and record system addressing each unit.  However, respondents would have to comply with initial rule requirements for reconstructed units which are estimated to be 10 percent of all units (i.e., 0.9 storage vessels, 1.1 process units and 0.4 process vent control devices).   
[e]   EPA estimates that 486 of 540 heat exchange systems at 153 existing refineries will need to implement the new heat exchange system monitoring requirements and one new
refinery with an estimated 4 heat exchange systems will become subject to the Subpart CC rule during the 3-year clearance period of this ICR. Therefore, the annual average
number of heat exchange systems per refinery is 3.18 (486 + 4 = 490 heat exchange systems/154 refineries). Labor and costs based on estimates from EPA MACT floor cost
analysis. Labor costs for setup of portable air stripping column and sampling/analysis for one heat exchange system based on 1 labor hour for engineer and 3 labor hours for
operator. Assume 3.18 towers per refinery and event occurs 12 times per year.
[f]  Labor costs for additional sampling and analysis triggered by leak based on 1 hour for engineer and 3 labor hours for an operator for 1 event per year for 2 heat exchangers per refinery.
g  Repair costs based on 40 labor hours for 1 repair event per year for 15 percent of heat exchangers.
[h]  Assume each existing refinery must submit notification of compliance status for heat exchange systems. 
[i]  The rule requires that sources meet specific periodic requirements including: monitoring of storage vessels annually, LDAR monitoring of process units daily,  and monthly monitoring of process vents, recording of process parameters and monitoring results, and submittal of periodic semiannual compliance reports addressing each affected facility and of performance test results.  The startup, shutdown and malfunction reports are included in the next periodic report.     
[j]   Notifications related to construction/reconstruction and periodic reporting of existing sources are accounted for in existing NSPS and NESHAP regulations for equipment leaks, wastewater and storage tank.       
[k]  Assume 2 hours per occurrence at 2 times per year.
[l]   We have assumed that sources already have the record system in place to monitor each existing operations, however, it will incurred in some burden for reconstructed affected facilities.
[m]  Assume 24 labor hours per month per refinery for recordkeeping requirements.
[n]   We have included the associated with sources recording data and transmitting it to develop initial and semiannual reports.  We have assumed that it takes respondents approximate one 3.5 hours (2 hrs of total is to transmit data) at each of the 9 storage vessels, 77 hours for equipment leaks (LDAR, 75 of total is to transmit data) at each of the 11 units, and 15 hours (based on the assumption that it takes 5 minutes at 350 days a year per control device to record data) for process vents at each of the 2 control devices to record and transmit data periodically.  
[o]  We have assumed that existing sources would be providing an initial training to employees associated with new affected facilities, and that there will be periodic refresher training. 
[p]  Assume training of 2 labor hours per year for 10 operators per facility.
[q]  Based on a total capital investment of $16.3 million and a capital recovery factor of 0.1424 (10-year life at 7 percent annual interest).
[r]  Operation and maintenance costs based on one mid-point calibration of sampling equipment prior to each sampling event (12 times/yr) at 0.25 hr by one engineer ($114.28/yr)
for annual average of 180 heat exchange systems (540 heat exchange systems/3 = 180).

Assumptions:
[a]  We have assumed that there are 153 existing petroleum refineries plus one new refinery which are respondents over the 3-year term of  the ICR, yielding an average of 153.3 respondents per year.  We have further assumed that a refinery has the following affected facilities: 9 storage vessels; 11 process units which are subject to leak detection and repair (LDAR) provisions; 9 process vents for which it would be required to do monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting; and 3 heat exchange systems which are subject to a monthly sampling program for VOC leak detection and repair, as well as recordkeeping and reporting requirements to ensure compliance with the program.  
[b]  This cost is based on the following labor rates:  Managerial rate of $62.27 (GS-13, Step 5, $38.92 + 60%), Technical rate of $46.21 (GS-12, Step 1, $28.88 + 60%), and Clerical rate of $25.01 (GS-6, Step 3, $15.63 + 60%).  These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 2011 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.  
[c]  We have assumed that all existing respondents over the 3-year term of the ICR have complied with the rule's initial monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements for their existing units, including: initial notifications; the design analysis and establishing operating parameters for storage vessels, LDAR  initial requirements, and initial performance test for process vents routed to a control device (4 of 9 process vents); and development of record system.  However, we have assumed that 10 percent of respondents (15.3)  would have to comply with initial rule requirements for reconstructed units.     
[d]   The notification of reconstruction is only required for process vents controls.  We have assumed two process vent controls per respondent, and that 10 percent of process vent will be reconstructed and tested.  Further, we assumed two notifications per test.
[e]   The notification of compliance status would include performance test results, as required by the general provisions.
[f]   The rule requires that sources semiannual compliance reports addressing each affected facility subject to the rule.  The startup, shutdown and malfunction reports are to be submitted with the next semiannual reports
