Characterization/
Abstract
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
Petroleum
Refineries,
published
at
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
J,
were
proposed
on
June
11,
1973,
and
promulgated
on
March
8,
1974.
These
regulations
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.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
J.

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.
Reporting
frequency
was
changed
from
quarterly
to
semiannual
on
February12,
1999
(
64
FR
7465).
Also
it
is
estimated
that
5%
of
respondents
to
this
ICR
will
undergo
construction
or
reconstruction.
These
changes
are
being
reflected
for
the
Agency
for
the
first
time
for
this
ICR.

Any
owner/
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
United
States
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
regional
office.

Approximately
132
respondents
are
currently
subject
to
the
regulation,
and
it
is
estimated
that
no
additional
respondents
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
in
the
next
three
years.
These
estimates
of
the
size
of
the
regulated
universe
are
based
on
information
from
a
search
of
EPA's
Online
Tracking
Information
System
(
OTIS)
database
and
industry
data
from
the
Oil
&
Gas
Journal.
EPA
estimates
that
the
annual
cost
of
this
information
collection
will
be
$
541,464
for
nonlabor
and
$
1,140,989
for
labor,
based
on
a
labor
burden
of
14,134
hours,
for
a
total
annual
cost
of
$
1,682,453.

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

I
addition,
section
114(
a)
states
that
the
Administrator
may
require
any
owner/
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,
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,
the
NSPS
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
J.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
3
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
in
the
standards
ensure
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulations
which
where
promulgated
in
accordance
with
the
Clean
Air
Act.
The
collected
information
is
also
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
standards.
Continuous
emission
monitors
are
used
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
standards
at
all
times.

The
notifications
required
in
the
standards
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
check
if
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated,
and
the
standards
are
being
met.
The
performance
test
may
also
be
observed.

The
required
semiannual
reports
are
used
to
determine
periods
of
excess
emissions,
identify
problems
at
the
facility,
verify
operation/
maintenance
procedures
and
for
compliance
determinations.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
requested
recordkeeping
and
reporting
are
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
its
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
(
70
FR
24020)
on
May
6,
2005.
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
After
reviewing
our
internal
data
sources
and
industry
experts,
we
have
determined
that
4
additional
consultations
with
industry
are
inappropriate
for
this
ICR
renewal.
The
standard
was
developed
with
the
participation
and/
or
consultation
with
industry
representatives.
In
addition,
the
Agency
has
performed
additional
reviews
to
determine
additional
burden
reduction
opportunities.
The
Agency
currently
collects
the
minimum
amount
of
information
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
standard.
EPA
searched
its
OTIS
database
and
examined
industry
data
from
the
Oil
&
Gas
Journal
for
information
on
the
number
of
existing
respondents.

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
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
part
1320,
section
1320.5.

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

equipment
that
automatically
records
parameter
data.
Although
personnel
at
the

must
evaluate
the
data,
this
internal
automation
has
significantly
reduced
the
burden
associated
with
monitoring
and
recordkeeping
at
the
plant
site.

Also,
regulatory
agencies
in
cooperation
with
the
respondents,
continue
to
create
reporting
systems
to
transmit
data
electronically.
At
this
time,
it
is
estimated
that
approximately
70
percent
of
the
respondents
use
electronic

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

Agency
Activities
Observe

System
(
AFS).

5(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
Following
notification
of
startup,
the
reviewing
authority
might
inspect
the
source
to
determine
whether
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
9
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
AFS
which
is
operated
and

Small
Entity
Flexibility
A
majority
of
the
respondents
are
large
entities
(
i.
e.,
large
businesses).
However,
the
impact
on
small
entities
(
i.
e.,
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
these
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.

Burden
The
average
annual

to
industry
over
the
next

from
these

is
estimated
to
be
14,134
hours
(

These
hours
are
based
on
Agency
studies
and

$
83.71
($

have
been
increased
by

to
account
for

Startup
and
Operation
and
Maintenance
Costs
The
type
of

associated
with
the
information
collection
activities
in
the
subject
standards
are
both
labor
costs,
which
are
addressed
elsewhere
in
this
ICR,
and
the
costs
associated
with
continuous
monitoring.
The
capital/
startup
costs
are
one­
time
costs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
regulation.
It
is
anticipated
that
no
new
facilities
will
become
subject
to
this
regulation
over
the
next
3
years.
Therefore,
there
are
no
capital/
startup
costs
associated
with
this
information
collection.
The
annual
operation
and
maintenance
costs
are
the
ongoing

to
maintain
the
monitors
and
other

Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs
Based
on
our
research
for
this
ICR,
on
average
over
the
next
three
years,
approximately
132
existing
respondents
will
be
subject
to
the
standard.
It
is
estimated
that
no
additional
respondents
will
become
subject
over
the
next
three
years.
The
overall
average
number
of
respondents,
as
shown
in
the
table
below,
is
132
per
year.

The
Oil
&
Gas
Journal
reported
that
there
are
132
petroleum
refineries
(
i.
e.,
respondents)
in
the
US
in
its
2004
Worldwide
Refining
Survey,
the
most
recent
industry
data
available.
1
EPA
also
searched
its
OTIS
database
for
sources
that
are
within
SIC
code
2911
and
are
covered
by
the
NSPS
program.
After
excluding
asphalt
plants,
which
are
also
included
in
SIC
code
2911,
the
OTIS
database
supports
the
Oil
&
Gas
Journal
data.

No
new
petroleum
refineries
have
been
built
in
the
US
since
1976.2
In
addition,
the
Oil
&
Gas
Journal
2001
Worldwide
Refining
Survey
reported
that
there
were
143
petroleum
refineries
in
the
US,
indicating
a
decline
of
11
refineries
since
the
last
ICR.
3
Therefore,
EPA
estimates
that
13
no
additional
respondents
will
become
subject
to
the
standards
over
the
next
three
years,
but
5%
of
the
existing
respondents
will
undergo
reconstruction
or
redesign..

The
number
of
respondents
is
calculated
using
the
following
table
which
addresses
the
three

covered
by
this

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
decrease
in
labor
hours
and
the
increase
in
nonlabor
and
labor
costs
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
are
due
to
six
changes.

The
first
change
contributed
an
increase
in
burden
due
to
an
increase
in
the
number
of
existing
respondents.
The
active
ICR
estimates
that
there
are
130
respondents,
while
this
ICR
estimates
there
are
132
respondents.
The
active
ICR
does
not
indicate
the
source
of
its
estimate.
This
ICR's
estimate
is
based
on
industry
data
and
is
supported
by
a
search
of
EPA's
OTIS
database.
This
increase
in
the
number
of
respondents
is
not
due
to
growth,
as
no
new
petroleum
refineries
have
been
constructed
since
1976.

The
second
change
contributed
a
decrease
in
burden
due
to
the
removal
of
quarterly
emission
reporting
requirements.
Only
semiannual
emission
reporting
requirements
are
required
by
the
standards.
This
change
was
made
for
New
Source
Performance
Standards
rules
on
February
12,
1999
(
64
FR
7457).

The
third
and
fourth
changes
resulted
from
adjustments
in
the
calculations
for
labor
hours
and
cost.
The
third
change
contributed
an
increase
in
burden
due
to
the
calculation
of
burden
for
management
and
clerical
personnel,
as
well
as
for
technical
personnel.
The
fourth
change
contributed
an
increase
in
burden
due
to
an
increase
in
labor
rates.
Both
the
average
industry
labor
rate
and
the
average
Agency
labor
rate
increased
from
the
active
ICR.

The
fifth
change
contributed
an
increase
in
costs
burden
and
resulted
from
changes
in
the
calculations
for
nonlabor
O&
M
costs.
The
active
ICR
references
the
ICR
previous
to
itself
for
the
estimate
for
O&
M
costs
associated
with
the
continuous
monitoring
devices
and
adjusts
the
costs
for
time
based
on
the
Consumer
Price
Index.
This
ICR
estimates
O&
M
costs
based
on
the
EPA
Air
Pollution
Control
Cost

The
sixth
change
contributed
an
increase
in
burden
due
to
previous
omissions
of
notification
reports.
Since
EPA
is
assuming
that
5
percent
of
existing
sources
will
require
a
performance
test
because
of
construction
or
reconstruction,
this
will
require
2
notification
reports
that
were
not
previously
accounted
for.

Adjustment
of
burden
hours
added
2,183
hours,
but
was
more
than
offset
by
Program
Change
decrease
of
5,408
hours,
so
that
the
overall
decrease
in
burden
was
3,225
hours
per
year.

Burden
Statement
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
50
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;
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
requirements;
train
personnel
to
be
able
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;
complete
and
review
the
collection
of
information;
and
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.

the
Agency's
need
for
this
information,
the
accuracy
of
the
provided
burden
estimates,
