    Title: NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries, Catalytic Cracking, 
Reforming and Sulfur Units (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1844.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0554.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2010. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
An 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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Petroleum Refineries, Catalytic Cracking, 
Reforming and Sulfur Units (40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU) were proposed 
on September 11, 1998, promulgated on April 11, 2002, and amended on 
February 09, 2005.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, 
performance tests, and periodic reports. 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in 
determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to 
NESHAP. Specifically, data is being collected on performance of the 
continuous monitoring systems for gasoline vapor and related hazardous 
air pollutants (HAPs), any excess emissions, and any operating 
parameter exceedances.
    Any owner or 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.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 42 
(rounded) 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 which have subsequently changed; 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of petroleum 
refineries.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 132.
    Frequency of Response: Initially and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 11,040 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $8,814,941, which includes $983,339 of 
annualized labor costs, no annualized capital/startup costs, and 
$7,831,602 in annualized operating and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or 
cost to the respondents in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This 
is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over 
the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next 
three years; and (2) the growth rate for the respondents is very low, 
negative, or non-existent. Therefore, the labor hours and cost figures 
in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the respondents and 
are reiterated in this ICR. However, there is a correction of a 
previous error in the calculation of the O&M costs from $6,850,602 to 
$7,831,602.
