(40 CFR part 60, subpart J) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 1054.12, OMB

An Agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to

    Abstract: The affected sources are (1) fluid catalytic cracking 
unit (FCCU) catalyst regenerator or fuel gas combustion device (FGCD) 
other than a flare that commenced construction, reconstruction or 
modification after June 11, 1973 and on or before May 14, 2007; (2) 
FGCD fuel gas combustion device that is also a flare that commenced 
construction, reconstruction or modification after June 11, 1973 and on 
or before June 24, 2008; or (3) any Claus sulfur recovery plant which 
commenced construction, reconstruction or modification after October 4, 
1976 and on or before May 14, 2007. Units that are constructed, 
reconstructed or modified after the end date of Subpart J applicability 
are subject to the requirements under regulations at 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart Ja. At the time of this ICR renewal, all refinery flares are 
complying with the NSPS Subpart Ja requirements.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Petroleum refineries.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart J).
    Estimated number of respondents: 150 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 15,784 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,264,370 (per year), includes $719,100 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the respondent 
labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR because the 2012 
rule amendments did not require additional monitoring, recordkeeping 
and reporting requirements under NSPS J. Modified or reconstructed 
sources under NSPS Subpart J would trigger NSPS Subpart Ja 
applicability.
