    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
UUU. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial 
notification, performance tests, and periodic reports, and results. 
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. Reports, at a minimum, are required 
semiannually.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of petroleum 
refineries.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart UUU).
    Estimated number of respondents: 123 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 10,237 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $9,399,440 (per year), includes $8,398,136 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
respondent and Agency labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous 
ICR. The decrease occurred because all sources have met the initial 
compliance requirement and, therefore, will not incur burden associated 
with initial notification and performance test during the three-year 
period of this ICR. The decrease also resulted from a reduction in the 
respondent universe from 132 to 123 major source facilities. The 
estimate was obtained from EPA's non-CBI Component 1 Section 114 ICR 
database and is based on 2010 data.
    However, there is an overall increase in respondent labor costs due 
to an adjustment in labor rates. This ICR uses updated labor rates in 
calculating all costs. There is also an increase in the total O&M costs 
due to an update in the estimated number of sources.
