Characterization/
Abstract
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
were
proposed
on
December
17,
1980
and
promulgated
on
August
18,
1983,
and
amended
on
December
22,
1983.
These
standards
apply
to
the
total
of
all
loading
racks
at
bulk
gasoline
terminals
which
deliver
liquid
product
into
gasoline
tank
trucks
and
for
which
construction,
modification
or
reconstruction
commenced
after
the
date
of
proposal.
A
bulk
gasoline
terminal
is
any
gasoline
facility
which
receives
gasoline
by
pipeline,
ship
or
barge,
and
has
a
gasoline
throughput
greater
than
75,700
liters
per
day.
The
affected
facility
includes
the
loading
arms,
pumps,
meters,
shutoff
valves,
relief
valves,
and
other
piping
and
valves
necessary
to
fill
delivery
tank
trucks.
Volatile
organic
chemicals
(
VOCs)
are
the
pollutants
regulated
under
this
subpart.

Owners
or
operators
of
the
affected
facilities
described
must
make
the
following
on­
time
only
reports:
notification
of
the
date
of
construction
or
reconstruction;
notification
of
the
anticipated
and
actual
dates
of
startup;
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
startup,
shutdown,
or
2
malfunction
in
the
operation
of
an
affected
facility,
or
any
period
during
which
the
monitoring
system
is
inoperative.
These
notifications,
reports
and
records
are
required,
in
general,
of
all
sources
subject
to
NSPS.

Monitoring
requirements
specific
to
bulk
gasoline
terminals
are
listed
in
Section
60.505
of
this
subpart.
These
requirements
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.

This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
Part
60
Subpart
XX.
Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
will
maintain
a
file
of
these
records,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
two
years
following
the
date
of
such
records.
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.

Approximately
40
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard.
Due
to
consolidation
of
several
industry
refiners,
no
new
facilities
are
expected
to
become
subject
to
the
standard
over
the
next
three
years.

2.
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,
as
amended,
to
establish
3
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
(
BDT).

Section
111
also
requires
that
the
Administrator
review
and,
if
appropriate,
revise
such
standards
every
four
years.

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
or
methods
(
in
accordance
with
such
methods
at
such
locations,
at
such
intervals,
and
in
such
manner
as
the
Administrator
shall
prescribe),
and
(
D)
sample
such
emissions,
(
E)

keep
records
on
control
equipment
parameters,
production
variables
or
other
indirect
data
when
direct
monitoring
of
emissions
is
impractical,
(
F)
submit
compliance
certifications,
and
(
G)
provide
such
other
information
as
he
may
reasonably
require.

In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
volatile
organic
chemical
(
VOC)
emissions
from
NSPS
Subpart
XX,
Bulk
Gasoline
Terminals
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
XX.

2(
b)
PRACTICAL
UTILITY/
USERS
OF
THE
DATA
The
control
of
emissions
of
volatile
organic
chemicals
(
VOCs)
from
bulk
gasoline
terminals
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
VOC
emissions
from
bulk
gasoline
terminals
are
the
result
of
loading
liquid
product
into
gasoline
tank
trucks.
These
standards
rely
on
the
reduction
of
VOC
emissions
through
both
a
vapor
collection
system
and
securing
the
necessary
documentation
to
assure
that
each
gasoline
tank
truck
loaded
is
vapor­
tight.
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
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
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.

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
regulation.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
is
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
these
standards,

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
3(
a)
Nonduplication
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requested
is
required
under
40
CFR
Part
60,
5
Subpart
XX.
If
the
standard
has
not
been
delegated,
the
information
is
sent
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
regulation
to
implement
NSPS
Subpart
XX,
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
Standard.
Therefore,
no
duplication
exists.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
The
first
public
notification
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register,
Vol.
66,
No.
209,
page
54514­
54521
on
October
29,
2001.

3(
c)
Consultations
No
comments
were
received
regarding
the
Federal
Register
Notice
published
on
October
29,
2001.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
required
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
collected
less
frequently,
the
likelihood
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
and
noncompliance
would
decrease.

3(

initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard,
and
note
the
operating
conditions
(
gas

etc.)
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
Data
obtained
during
periodic

and
reporting
requirements
is
estimated
at
11,420
person­
hours.
These
hours
are
based
on
Agency
studies
and
background
documents
from
the
development
of
the
standards
or
test

methods,
Agency
knowledge
and
experience
with
the
NSPS
program,
the
previously
approved
ICR,
and
any
comments
received.

Costs
(

Estimating
Labor
Costs
This
ICR
uses
a
Technical
Labor
Rate
of
$
55.34
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.

(
ii)
Estimating
Capital
and
Operations
and
Maintenance
Costs
The
only
type
of
industry
cost
associated
with
the
information
collection
activity
in
the
standards
is
labor
cost.
There
are
no
capital
or
operations
and
maintenance
costs.

Capital/
Start­
up
vs.
Operating
and

(

Costs
This
section
is
not
applicable
because
no
continuous
monitoring
equipment
is
required
by
this
subpart.

6(
c)
Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
Federal
costs
are
user
costs
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
information.

Publication
and
distribution
of
the
information
are
part
of
the
Aerometric
Information
Retrieval
System
(
AIRS)
Facility
Subsystem
(
AFS)
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
the
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
Standards.
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.

No
new
facilities
are
projected
for
the
bulk
gasoline
terminal
industry
during
the
next
three
years.
The
only
reports
received
by
the
Agency
are
for
new
sources,
therefore,
the
average
annual
Agency
cost
during
the
next
3
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
0.
Details
of
this
estimate
appear
in
Table
1:
Agency
Burden.

6(
d)
Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs
The
number
of
existing
sources
subject
to
NSPS
Part
60,
Subpart
XX
is
40
sources
with
no
new
sources
expected
due
to
no
projected
growth
for
the
bulk
gasoline
terminal
industry.
The
labor
estimates
used
in
Table
2
were
derived
from
standard
estimates
based
on
EPA's
experience
with
other
standards.
The
average
annual
burden
to
the
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
estimated
at
11,420
person­
hours.
The
respondent
costs
have
been
calculated
on
the
basis
of
$
55.34
per
hour.
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
631,983.
Details
of
this
estimate
appear
in
Table

Industry
Burden.

Burden
Hours
And

The
total

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
Burden
hours
remain
unchanged.
The
increase
in
industry
burden
cost
from
the
current
ICR
is
due
to
higher
hourly
rate
estimates
obtained
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Commerce
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
March
2000,
"
Table
10.
Private
industry,
by
occupational
and
industry
group."
The
rate
is
from
column
1,
"
Total
compensation."
The
wage
rate
has
been
increased
by
110%
to
$
55.34
per
hour
to
account
for
industry
benefit
packages.
The
capital/
startup
costs
in
block
number
14
are
$
0
because
there
are
no
new
sources.
