Characterization/
Abstract
The
National
Emission
Standards
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
(
NESHAP)
for
Oil
and
Natural
Gas
Production,
published
at
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
HH,
were
proposed
on
February
6,
1998,
and
promulgated
on
June
17,
1999.
These
regulations
apply
to
existing
facilities
and
new
facilities
that
are
major
sources
of
hazardous
air
pollutants
(
HAP)
and
that
process,
upgrade,
or
store
(
1)
hydrocarbon
liquids
(
with
the
exception
of
those
facilities
that
exclusively
handle
black
oil)
to
the
point
of
custody
transfer
and
(
2)
natural
gas
from
the
well
up
to
and
including
the
natural
gas
processing
plant.
New
facilities
include
those
that
commenced
construction
or
reconstruction
after
the
date
of
proposal.
Specifically
exempted
from
this
regulation
are
oil
and
natural
gas
production
wells.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
HH.

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.
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.
Once
received
by
the
authority,
reports
are
reviewed
and
the
data
is
entered,
analyzed,
and
maintained
in
the
Air
Facility
System
(
AFS).
Information
from
these
reports
can
be
used
by
any
regions,
states,
agencies
and
offices
with
access
to
AFS
and
may
be
used
in
determining
where
inspections
and
enforcement
actions
may
be
necessary.

Approximately
464
respondents
are
currently
subject
to
the
reporting
requirements
of
this
regulation,
and
EPA
estimates
that
an
additional
2
reporting
respondents
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
in
the
next
three
years.
In
addition,
approximately
126,136
respondents
are
subject
only
to
the
recordkeeping
requirements
of
this
regulation,
and
EPA
estimates
that
an
2
additional
598
respondents
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
recordkeeping
requirements
in
the
next
three
years.
Overall,
EPA
estimates
that
approximately
126,600
respondents
are
subject
to
the
regulation,
and
an
additional
600
respondents
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
in
the
next
three
years.
EPA
estimates
that
the
annual
cost
of
this
information
collection
will
be
$
495,720
for
nonlabor
and
$
14,200,686
for
labor,
based
on
a
labor
burden
of
175,907
hours,
for
a
total
annual
cost
of
$
14,696,406.

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.
These
standards
are
applicable
to
new
or
existing
sources
of
hazardous
air
pollutants
and
shall
require
the
maximum
degree
of
emission
reduction.
In
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,
HAP
emissions
from
oil
and
natural
gas
production
facilities
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
the
NESHAP
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
HH.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
HAP
from
oil
and
natural
gas
production
facilities
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
3
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
HAP
from
oil
and
natural
gas
production
facilities
are
the
result
of
operation
of
the
affected
facilities.
The
subject
standards
are
achieved
by
the
capture
or
reduction
of
HAP
emissions
using
enclosed
combustion
devices
(
e.
g.,
incinerators),
vapor
recovery
devices
(
e.
g.,
carbon
adsorbers),
or
flares,
and
by
leak
detection
and
repair
procedures.
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,
leaks
are
being
detected
and
repaired,
and
the
standards
are
being
met.
The
performance
test
may
also
be
observed.
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
required
operating
conditions
for
enclosed
combustion
devices
are
a
total
organic
carbon
(
TOC)
or
total
HAP
reduction
of
95
percent
by
weight
or
greater,
a
TOC
or
total
HAP
concentration
level
reduction
to
20
ppm
(
volume,
dry
basis)
or
less
in
the
exhaust
gases,
and/
or
a
minimum
residence
time
of
0.5
seconds
at
a
minimum
temperature
of
760
degrees
Celsius
(

C).
The
required
operating
condition
for
vapor
recovery
systems
(
e.
g.,
carbon
adsorbers)
is
a
TOC
or
total
HAP
recovery
efficiency
of
95
percent
or
greater.
The
required
operating
conditions
for
flares
are
no
visible
emissions
and
a
flame
must
be
present
at
all
times.
The
required
operating
condition
for
closed
vent
systems
is
for
emissions
to
be
non­
detectable.

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.
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
NESHAP
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
in
compliance
with
the
regulation.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
are
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulations,
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.
Non
duplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
requested
recordkeeping
and
reporting
are
required
under
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
HH.

3(
a)
Non
duplication
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
4
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
(
69
FR
69909)
on
December
1,
2004.
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
In
addition
to
holding
a
public
comment
period
following
the
First
Federal
Register
Notice
(
FFRN),
EPA
contacted
the
American
Petroleum
Institute
(
API),
the
American
Gas
Association
(
AGA),
and
the
Gas
Processors
Association
(
GPA)
to
determine
whether
it
would
be
possible
for
the
Agency
to
reduce
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
burden
or
improve
the
language
in
the
standards
to
facilitate
industry
compliance.
API
declined
to
provide
comments
on
the
NESHAP.
EPA
did
not
receive
a
response
from
AGA.
EPA
received
the
following
comment
regarding
the
burden
associated
with
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
of
this
subpart
from
a
member
of
GPA,
Don
Anderson,
Western
Gas
Resources,
Inc.
(
303
450­
8411):

Overlap
between
subparts
HH
and
ZZZZ
(
NESHAP
for
Reciprocating
Internal
Combustion
Engines)
creates
an
unnecessary
burden.
Under
subpart
HH,
natural
gas
processing
plants
had
to
include
all
HAP
emissions
in
determining
applicability,
including
formaldehyde
emissions
from
compressor
engines.
These
engines
are
now
controlled
under
subpart
ZZZZ;
however,
subpart
HH
still
requires
respondents
to
file
semiannual
and
annual
reports,
create
startup/
shutdown/
malfunction
plans,
and
maintain
records.

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.
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
the
Part
70
permit
program
and
the
five
year
statute
of
limitations
on
which
the
permit
program
is
based.
Also,
the
retention
of
records
for
five
years
would
allow
EPA
to
establish
the
compliance
history
of
a
source
and
any
pattern
of
compliance
for
purposes
of
determining
the
appropriate
level
of
enforcement
action.
Historically,
EPA
has
found
that
the
most
flagrant
violators
frequently
have
violations
extending
beyond
the
five
years.
EPA
would
be
prevented
from
pursuing
the
worst
violators
due
to
the
destruction
or
nonexistence
of
records
if
records
were
retained
for
less
than
five
years.

3(

Confidentiality
Any
information
submitted
to
the
Agency
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made
will
be
safeguarded
according
to
the
Agency
policies

Electronic
Reporting
At
the
present,
respondents
are
using
monitoring
equipment
that
automatically
records
parameter
data
(
e.
g.,
temperature).
Although
personnel
at
the
affected
facility
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.
However,
these
electronic
reporting
systems
are
still
not
widely
used.
At
this
time,
it
is
estimated
that
approximately
10
percent
of
the
respondents
use
electronic
reporting.

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
emission
standard,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
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
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Compliance.
AFS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
data
for
approximately
125,000
industrial
and
government­
owned
facilities.
EPA
uses
the
AFS
for
tracking
air
pollution
compliance
and
enforcement
by
local
and
state
regulatory
agencies,
EPA
regional
offices
and
EPA
headquarters.
EPA
and
its
delegated
Authorities
can
edit,
store,
retrieve
and
analyze
the
data.

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

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
There
is
a
distribution
of
business
sizes
among
the
respondents.
At
the
time
of
rulemaking,
the
Agency
estimated
that
the
number
of
affected
small
entities
would
likely
be
minimal
due
to
several
considerations
in
these
rules
that
minimize
the
burden
on
all
firms,
both
small
and
large.
These
considerations
include
exempting
from
the
control,
monitoring,
and
reporting
requirements
of
the
NESHAP
those
glycol
dehydration
units
below
certain
thresholds
for
natural
gas
throughput
(
less
than
85
thousand
standard
cubic
meters
per
day)
or
benzene
emissions
(
less
than
0.90
megagram
per
year).
The
Agency
considers
the
remaining
recordkeeping
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.

Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs
Based
on
our
research
for
this
ICR,
approximately
464
existing
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard.
It
is
estimated
that
an
additional
2
sources
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.

At
the
time
of
rulemaking,
EPA
estimated
the
source
category
comprised
120,000
facilities,
of
which
EPA
expected
approximately
440
would
be
subject
to
the
NESHAP.
1
EPA
based
these
estimates
on
1992
data
that
indicated
there
were
590,000
oil
production
wells
and
280,000
natural
gas
production
wells
in
the
U.
S.
(
870,000
production
wells
total).
2
Based
on
these
data,
there
were
7.25
wells
per
facility
(
870,000
wells
/
120,000
facilities
=
7.25),
or,
alternatively,
0.1379
facilities
per
well
(
120,000
/
870,000
=
0.1379).
Of
these
facilities,
0.3667
percent
were
subject
to
the
NESHAP
(
440
/
120,000
=
0.003667).

According
to
data
for
2003,
there
are

3,4
Using
these
well
data
and
the
ratio
describe
above,
EPA
currently
estimates
there
are
126,600
facilities
in
the
source
category
(
917,883
x
0.1379
=
126,600
facilities).
Of
these
facilities,
464
are
subject
to
the
NESHAP
(
126,600
x
0.003667
=
464).
EPA
assumes
as
an
upper
bound
that
the
other
126,136
existing
facilities
in
the
source
category
are
exempt
facilities
under
40
CFR
63.760(
e),
which
must
maintain
records
of
their
applicability
determination
as
required
in
40
CFR
63.10(
b)(
3).
Some
of
these
126,136
facilities
may
be
area
sources,
which
are
not
required
to
maintain
records
under
the
NESHAP.
EPA
does
not
have
the
data
to
quantify
how
many
of
these
facilities
are
area
sources,
and
therefore,
assumes
that
all
126,136
are
major
sources
exempt
under
40
CFR
63.760(
e).

EPA's
current
estimate
for
the
number
of
facilities
in
the
source
category
is
6,600
facilities
higher
than
the
estimate
at
the
time
of
rulemaking
(
126,600
­
120,000
=
6,600).
Dividing
by
11
years
(
2003
­
1992
=
11),
EPA
estimates
there
are
approximately
600
new
facilities
per
year
in
the
source
category
(
6,600
/
11
=
600).
Similarly,
EPA's
estimate
of
the
number
of
subject
facilities
increased
by
24
facilities
(
464
­
440
=
24),
or
2
new
subject
facilities
per
year
(
24
/
11
=
2).
EPA
assumes
as
an
upper
bound
that
the
other
598
new
facilities
per
year
are
exempt
facilities
under
40
CFR
63.760(
e),
which
must
maintain
records
of
their

as
required
in

6(
f)
Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
increase
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
seven
adjustments.
Four
adjustments
contributed
increases
in
burden
and
three
adjustments
contributed
decreases
in
burden,
for
a
net
increase
in
burden.
18
The
first
adjustment
increased
the
burden
due
to
the
consideration
of
the
recordkeeping
burden
on
respondents
that
are
below
certain
thresholds
for
facility
throughput
(
less
than
18.4
thousand
standard
cubic
meters
of
natural
gas
per
day
or
less
than
39,700
liters
of
hydrocarbon
liquid
per
day),
or
are
black
oil
facilities.
These
facilities
are
exempt
from
the
emission
reduction
requirements
of
the
NESHAP
under
40
CFR
63.760(
e),
but
must
maintain
records
of
annual
emissions
estimates
and
actual
throughput
as
required
in
40
CFR
63.10(
b)(
3).
EPA
estimates
that
126,734
facilities
will
spend
one
hour
once
per
year
to
maintain
these
records
under
the
NESHAP.
This
burden
was
not
included
in
the
original
or
active
ICR.

The
second
and
third
adjustments
are
changes
in
the
calculations
for
labor
burden
and
cost.
The
second
adjustment
contributed
an
increase
in
burden
due
to
the
increase
in
labor
rates.
Industry
labor
rates
increased
by
an
average
of
31.6
percent
from
the
active
ICR,
while
the
Agency
labor
rates
increased
by
12.4
percent
from
the
active
ICR.
The
third
adjustment
contributed
an
increase
in
burden
by
calculating
both
the
industry
and
Agency
technical
labor
hours
at
a
higher
level
relative
to
total
labor
hours
than
in
the
active
ICR.

The
fourth
adjustment
contributed
a
decrease
in
burden
due
to
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
subject
facilities.
The
active
ICR
estimated
that
484
existing
facilities
were
subject
to
the
rule
and
that
14
new
facilities
would
become
subject
to
the
rule
over
the
past
three
years.
EPA
now
estimates
that
there
are
464
existing
facilities
(
i.
e.,
respondents),
and
that
2
new
facilities
per
year
are
expected
in
the
next
three
years.

The
fifth
adjustment
contributed
a
decrease
in
burden
due
to
the
removal
of
LDAR
monitoring
requirements
from
the
burden
calculations.
LDAR
monitoring
activities
are
required
to
comply
with
the
NESHAP,
not
to
show
compliance
with
the
NESHAP;
therefore,
EPA
has
removed
these
activities
from
the
burden
calculations.
LDAR
recordkeeping
activities
remain
in
the
burden
calculations.

The
sixth
and
seventh
adjustments
contributed
an
increase
and
decrease
in
burden,
respectively,
due
to
the
use
of
the
EPA
Air
Pollution
Control
Cost
Manual.
The
capital
costs
for
THC
analyzers
are
higher
than
the
costs
in
the
active
ICR
for
monitoring
devices
for
enclosed
combustion
devices,
vapor
recovery
units,
and
flares,
but
the
O&
M
costs
are
lower
for
THC
analyzers.
The
decrease
in
O&
M
costs
offset
the
increase
in
capital
costs,
for
a
net
decrease
in
non­
labor
costs.
The
active
ICR
did
not
reference
the
EPA
Air
Pollution
Control
Cost
Manual.
