NESHAP for Marine Tank Vessel Leading Operations (40 CFR Part 63,
Subpart Y) (Renewal)

1.  Identification of the Information Collection

1(a)  Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Marine Tank Vessel Leading Operations (40 CFR Part 63,
Subpart Y) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 1679.06, OMB Control Number
2060-0289

1(b)  Short Characterization/Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
for Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations, published at 40 CFR part 63,
subpart Y, were proposed on May 13, 1994, and promulgated on September
19, 1995.  These regulations apply maximum achievable control technology
(MACT) standards to existing facilities and new facilities that load
marine tank vessels with petroleum or gasoline and have aggregate actual
HAP emissions of 10 tons or more of HAP or 25 tons or more of all HAP
combined.  These regulations also apply reasonably available control
technology (RACT) standards to such facilities with an annual throughput
of 10 million or more barrels of gasoline or 200 million or more barrels
of crude oil.  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 Y.

In general, all NESHAP 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 NESHAP.

Any owner/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.  In addition, the owner/operator shall keep the written
operation and maintenance plan on record for the life of the facility. 
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 804 sources are currently subject to the standard.  Of the
804 sources 38 of the existing sources are currently subject to the
emissions standard, and the remaining 766 facilities are not subject to
the emissions standards, but are still subject to some of the
recordkeeping requirements.  It is estimated that there will be no new
growth in the industry over the next three years.  

There are approximately 804 marine tank vessel loading plants in the
United States, which are owned and operated by the Marine Tank Vessel
Loading industry.  All these 804 facilities in the United States are
owned and operated by privately-owned, for-profit businesses.  You can
find the burden to the “Affected Public” listed below in Table 1:
Annual Industry Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Marine Tank Vessel Loading
Operations (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart Y).  The Federal government burden
does not include work performed by Federal employees.  The burden refers
only to work performed by contractors, which could be found listed below
in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden - NESHAP for Marine Tank Vessel
Loading Operations (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart Y).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active
ICR without any “Terms of Clearance.”

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 (HAP). 
These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of HAP 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 and volatile organic compounds
(VOC) emissions from marine tank vessel loading operations cause or
contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to
endanger public health or welfare.  Therefore, the NESHAP was
promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 63, subpart Y.

2(b)  Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard 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 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.

3.  Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

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

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 (72 FR 10736) on March 9, 2007. 
No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal
Register.

3(c)  Consultations

The Agency’s industry experts have been consulted, and the Agency’s
internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next
three years have been considered.  The primary source of information as
reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting
provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System
(OTIS) which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance.
 OTIS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval
of all compliance data.  The growth rate for the industry is based on
our consultations with the Agency’s internal industry experts. 
Approximately 804 respondents will be subject to the standard over the
three-year period covered by this ICR.

Industry trade associations and other interested parties were 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.

It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received
since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the
First Federal Register Notice.

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 proper operation
and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting
violations would be less likely.

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.

 	

These standards require the 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
with the Part 70 permit program and the five-year statute of limitations
on which the permit program is based.  The retention of records for five
years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any
pattern of non-compliance, and to determine the appropriate level of
enforcement action.  EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have
violations extending beyond the five years.  In addition, EPA would be
prevented from pursuing the violators due to either 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

None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements 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 still not widely used.  At this time,
it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use
electronic reporting.

Respondent Activities

Read instructions.

Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CMS for opacity, temperature
change, and VOC emissions temperature change, and VOC emissions for
control devices listed in 40 CFR 63.564(a) through (j).

Perform initial performance test, using the procedures listed in 40 CFR
63.7 according to the applicability in Table 1 of section 63.560, the
procedures listed in section 63.564, and the test methods listed in
section 63.565, 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
purposes of processing,   maintaining, disclosing, and providing
information.

Adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements.

Train personnel 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)  AgencyActivities

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 repeat performance tests if
necessary.

Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports,
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 might 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 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.

Information contained in the reports is entered into OTIS which is
operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance.  OTIS is the
EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of
compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and
government-owned facilities.  EPA uses OTIS for tracking air pollution
compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA
regional offices, and EPA headquarters.  EPA delegated Authorities can
edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.

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

5(c)  Small Entity Flexibility

The 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 to be the minimum
requirements 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 in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden for NESHAP for
Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart Y),
below.

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.  Wherever 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 9,872
(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 	$95.32   ($45.39 + 110%)

Technical	$64.60   ($30.76 + 110%)

Clerical	$40.09   ($19.09 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, December 2003, “Table 10. Private industry, by
occupational and industry group.”  These rates are from column 1,
“Total compensation.”  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 only costs to the regulated industry resulting from information
collection activities required by the subject standard are labor costs. 
There are no capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs.

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

The only type of industry costs associated with the information
collection activity in the regulations is labor costs.  There are no
capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs.

6(c)  Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of
the reported information.  The EPA 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 $27,657.

This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

Managerial	$54.66   (GS-13, Step 5, $34.16 + 60%)

Technical	$40.56   (GS-12, Step 1, $25.35 + 60%)

Clerical	$21.95   (GS-6, Step 3, $13.72 + 60%)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2004
General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay.  The rates
have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages
available to government employees.  Details upon which this estimate is
based appear in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden, NESHAP for Marine
Tank Vessel Loading Operations (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart Y) below.

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

	

	Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three
years, approximately 804 respondents will be subject to the standard. 
It is estimated that no additional sources per year will become subject.
 The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below,
is 804 per year. 

	The number of respondents is calculated using the following table which
addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

Number of Respondents

Year	(A)

Number of New Respondents 1	(B)

Number of Existing Respondents	(C)

Number of Existing Respondents That Keep Records But Do Not Submit

Average	0	38	766	0	804

1 New respondent include sources with constructed, reconstructed and
modified affected facilities.

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 804.

The total number of annual responses per year is calculated using the
following table:

The number of Total Annual Responses is 842.

The total annual labor costs are $629,850.  Details regarding these
estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden and Cost -
NESHAP for Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations (40 CFR Part 63,
Subpart Y), below.

6(e)  Bottom Line Burden Hours Burden Hours and Cost Tables

The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the
respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively,
and summarized below. 

(i)  Respondent Tally

The total annual labor costs are $629,850.  Details regarding these
estimates may be found in Table 1. Annual Respondent Burden and Cost:
NESHAP for Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations (40 CFR Part 63,
Subpart Y), below.  Furthermore, the annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to
average 12 hours per response.

The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity
are $0.

(ii)  The Agency Tally

The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is
estimated to be 699 labor hours at a cost of $27,657.  See Table 2.
Annual Agency Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Marine Tank Vessel Loading
Operations (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart Y), below.

6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden

There is no change in the labor hours or cost in this ICR compared to
the previous ICR.  This is due to two considerations.  First, the
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years.  Secondly, the growth
rate for the industry is very low, negative or non-existent, so there is
no significant change in the overall burden.

Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is
no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in the
previous ICR are used in this ICR, and there is no change in burden to
industry.

6(g)  Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 12 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 nor 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 EPAs regulations are listed
at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

Assumptions:

a  We have assumed that there are approximately 804 sources that are
subject to the standard.  Of the 804 sources, 38 of the existing sources
are currently subject to the emissions standard, and the remaining 766
facilities are not subject to the emissions standards, but are still
subject to some of the recordkeeping requirements.  It is estimated that
there will be no new growth in the industry over the next three years.

b  This ICR uses the following labor rates:  $95.32 per hour for
Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $64.60 per hour for
Technical labor, and $40.09

per hour for Clerical labor.  These rates are from the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 2003, (Table
10. Private industry, by occupational and industry group.(  The rates
are from column 1, (Total compensation.(  The rates have been increased
by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those
employed by private industry.

c  Calculation of burden and cost values reflects rounding of numbers.

d  We have assumed that this is a one-time-only costs.

e  We have assumed that 15 percent of the initial performance tests will
be repeated due to failure.

f  We have assumed that it will take each respondent 280 hours to
perform the test.

g  We have assumed it will take each respondent 16 hours once per year
to complete annual leak checks.

h  We have assumed that this burden is to the owners of marine vessels
and not to the affected facilities.

i  We have assumed that it will take each respondent eight hours once
per year to complete the vapor tightness check.

j  This number is based on factors calculated for the original ICR in
1995.  This ICR uses fleet factor and affected facility throughput and
then divided it in half.  We have

assumed that half of the facilities load at negative pressure.

k  We have assumed that it will take each respondent 32 hours once per
year to complete the ongoing compliance status report.

l   We have assumed that it will take each respondent 8 hours once per
year to complete the HAP control efficiency report.

m  We have assumed that 5 percent of respondents will request a waiver.

n  We have assumed that 1 percent of respondents will request
alternative test methods or monitoring methods.

o  Semiannual reports are required when there are excess emissions.  We
have assumed that there will be no excess emissions; therefore, each
respondent will submit one excess emissions and monitoring exceedances
report and/or summary report once per year.

 	Assumptions:

a  We have assumed that there are approximately 804 sources that are
subject to the standard.  Of the 804 sources, 38 of the existing sources
are currently subject to the emissions standard, and the remaining 766
facilities are not subject to the emissions standards, but are still
subject to some of the recordkeeping requirements.  It is estimated that
there will be no new growth in the industry over the next three years.

b  This cost is based on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6
benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead
expenses: $54.66 for Managerial (GS-13, Step 5, $34.16 x 1.6), $40.56
for Technical (GS-12, Step 1, $25.35 x 1.6) and $21.95 Clerical (GS-6,
Step 3, $13.72 x 1.6).  These rates are from the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) (2004 General Schedule( which excludes locality rates
of pay.

c  We have assumed that this is a one-time-only cost.

d  We have assumed that EPA will attend 10 percent of the initial
performance tests and will not attend repeat tests.

e  We have assumed that 5 percent of respondents will request a waiver.

f  It is assumed that 1 percent of facilities will request alternative
test methods or monitoring methods.

g   Semiannual reports are required when there are excess emissions.  We
have assumed that there will be no excess emissions; therefore, each
facility will submit one excess emissions and monitoring exceedances
report and/or summary report each year.

h  We have assumed that it will take 8 hours for each respondent to
review the report.
