                         Part A  -  Consultation Notes

1. Keitu Response
 The interviewee indicated that her firm provides engineering or technical support to facilities subject to SPCC regulation.
 The interviewee is a managing director/senior project engineer at Keitu.
 The interviewee did not need to be reminded of what the SPCC regulation was.
 The interviewee works on about 100 SPCC Plans per year.
 Keitu develops and certifies plans for all types of facilities. About 90 percent of plans are for oil production pads. Most amendments are due to adding to plans for oil production facilities. For storage facilities with over a million gallons, they work on about one per year. Keitu has also worked on plans for asphalt terminals, pipeline terminals, wind farms, electric co-ops, manufacturing, tractors, rail ports for crude oil, and farms.
 Keitu prices about 90 percent of their plans on a fixed price structure because the work is repetitive. For plans for very large facilities, they price by T&M (time and materials).
 STORAGE FACILITIES -  Hours estimates provided by EPA were mostly higher than what Keitu provided.
 The interviewee had prepared a new Plan for a new facility.
 See Table 2 for total hours estimates.
 See Table 2 for hours estimates by labor category.

3.  InterSpec Response
 The interviewee indicated that his firm provides engineering or technical support to facilities subject to SPCC regulation.
 The interviewee is president and owner of InterSpec.
 The interviewee did not need to be reminded of what the SPCC regulation was.
 In the last year, the interview had worked on five SPCC Plans. He had reviewed well over 100 plans in the past five years because when the firm does inspections, they often find that the facility is not in compliance with federal code.
 The types of facilities InterSpec develops SPCC Plans for include oil storage and distribution facilities, oil production facilities, manufacturing facilities, and animal fat and vegetable oil facilities.
 InterSpec prices SPCC Plan development as fixed price.
 STORAGE FACILITIES - Hours estimates provided by EPA were higher or the same as what Interspec provided.
 The interviewee had prepared a new Plan for a new facility.
 The total number of hours required to prepare a new Plan are 38 (Category I), 60 (Category II), 124 (Category III), and 156 (Category IV).

4.  ECCI Response
 The interviewee indicated that his firm provides engineering or technical support to facilities subject to SPCC regulation.
 The interviewee is a Senior environmental scientist at ECCI.
 The interviewee did not need to be reminded of what the SPCC regulation was.
 The interviewee personally had worked on five or six SPCC Plans per year and estimated that the firm had worked on 30 per year.
 The types of facilities ECCI develops SPCC Plans for include mostly manufacturing facilities and a few oil storage facilities. They have not worked with farms in the past five years but developed about 100 Plans back then. They do not work with production facilities.
 ECCI prices SPCC Plan development as mostly time and materials but sometime as fixed price.
 STORAGE FACILITIES - Hours estimates provided by EPA were mostly higher than what ECCI provided.
 The interviewee had prepared a new Plan for a new facility (only Categories I and II).
 The total number of hours required to prepare a new Plan are 48 (Category I) and 48 (Category II).
 See Table 2 for hours estimates by labor category.

Hi Kathleen,

Your knowledge of the preparation of SPCC plans is exactly what we are looking for! Attached is a copy of our questions. What date and time work best for you to talk over the phone? Except for Wednesday and Friday mornings, my schedule is pretty flexible.

Thanks,

Since we are consulting engineers and do not have any of the operational aspects of SPCC compliance, I don't know we would be of much help.  Our responses are going to be limited to coordination and preparation of the actual SPCC plan itself. n.

But go ahead and send the questionnaire.  I'll do what I can.  The incorporation of state required drainage controls / secondary containment requirements into the Federal rules should have required SPCC plan changes every two years for the last 10 years in North Dakota for all the oil and gas production.  Less so in Montana.

To Whom It May Concern at Keitu Engineers & Consultants: 

My name is Megan Kung, and I work for ICF. We are a contractor for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Every three years, EPA updates its estimates for paperwork-related burden for implementing the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulation. Would you have time in the next week or so to speak with us and answer some questions about the number of burden hours required for completing SPCC paperwork? If so, I will send over our questions in advance to facilitate our conversation. The phone call should take about 15 minutes. Your responses will help EPA determine reasonable burden hours required for completing SPCC paperwork. 

Thanks,
Megan

Good morning John,

Thanks for getting back to me. I've attached the questions. If you do have a chance to answer them this week, we'd greatly appreciate your input. After some background questions, there are two main sections of the document -- one about storage facilities (questions 7a-7k) and the other about production facilities (8a-8k). If your firm only serves one of these types of facilities (storage or production), please feel free to only answer the questions associated with that facility type. Otherwise, we'd like to get your input on both sections. And feel free to type right into the tables, if any of the numbers we provided seem unreasonable to you.

Please reach out to me with any questions.
