Short
Characterization/
Abstract
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
the
regulations
published
at
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
K
were
proposed
on
June
11,
1973,
and
promulgated
on
March
8,
1974.
These
regulations
apply
to
facilities
in
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
K
that
store
petroleum
liquids
in:
storage
vessels
with
petroleum
liquids
which
have
a
storage
capacity
greater
than
151,416
liters
(
40,000
gallons),
and
for
which
construction
commenced
after
June
11,
1973,
and
prior
to
May
19,
1978;
storage
vessels
greater
than
151,416
liters
(
40,000
gallons)
but
not
exceeding
246,052
liters
(
65,000
gallons),
and
where
construction
or
modification
commenced
after
March
8,
1974,
and
prior
to
May
19,
1978;
storage
vessels
that
have
a
capacity
greater
than
246,052
liters
(
65,000
gallons),
and
where
construction
or
modification
commenced
after
June
11,
1973,
and
prior
to
May
19,
1978.
Affected
facilities
report
only
if
a
storage
vessel
is
no
longer
subject
to
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
K
and
will
now
be
subject
to
the
current
storage
vessel
standard,
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
Kb.
The
subpart
K
standards
also
require
the
owner/
operator
to
document
(
recordkeeping)
the
activities
of
the
storage
period,
the
maximum
true
vapor
pressure,
and
the
type
of
petroleum
liquid
stored.
This
information
is
recorded
only
when
a
petroleum
liquid
is
changed
in
the
storage
vessel.
Facilities
that
are
not
subject
to
the
Standards
of
Performance
for
Storage
Vessels
for
Petroleum
Liquids,
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
K,
are
storage
vessels
of
petroleum
or
condensate
stored,
processed,
and/
or
treated
at
a
drilling
and
production
facility
prior
to
custody
transfer.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
K.

In
general,
all
NSPS
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,
are
required
of
all
sources
subject
to
NSPS.
2
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
two
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.

Approximately
5,500
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
regulation,
and
it
is
estimated
that
no
new
sources
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
in
the
next
three
years.
The
number
of
respondents
was
determined
from
a
data
pull
of
the
Aerometric
Information
Retrieval
System
(
AIRS)
Facility
Subsystem
(
AFS),
discussions
with
EPA
Regional
staff,
and
Office
of
Enforcement
and
Compliance
Assurance
staff
working
on
projects
relating
to
the
petroleum
refinery
sector.
Storage
vessels
built,
reconstructed
or
modified
after
May
19,
1978,
are
subject
to
the
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
Ka
or
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
Kb
requirements.
It
is
further
assumed
that
there
is
an
average
of
25
affected
facilities
per
plant
(
respondent).
The
estimated
number
of
respondents
under
this
regulation
is
estimated
to
be
220,
with
an
estimated
overall
burden
imposed
on
the
regulated
industry
of
669
hours,
at
a
total
estimated
cost
of
$
42,903.
The
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
approved
the
currently
active
information
collection
request
(
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
111
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
(
CAA),
as
amended,
to
establish
standards
of
performance
for
new
stationary
sources
that
reflect:

.
.
.
application
of
the
best
technological
system
of
continuous
emissions
reduction
which
(
taking
into
consideration
the
cost
of
achieving
such
emissions
reduction,
or
any
nonair
quality
health
and
environmental
impact
and
energy
requirements)
the
Administrator
determines
has
been
adequately
demonstrated.
Section
111(
a)(
l)

The
Agency
refers
to
this
charge
as
selecting
the
best
demonstrated
technology
(
BDT).
Section
111
also
requires
that
the
Administrator
review
and,
if
appropriate,
revise
such
standards
every
four
years.
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
a
manner
as
the
Administrator
shall
prescribe);
(
E)
keep
records
on
control
equipment
3
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,
volatile
organic
compounds
(
VOCs)
emissions
from
storage
vessels
for
petroleum
liquids
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
the
NSPS
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
K.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
volatile
organic
compounds
from
storage
vessels
for
petroleum
liquids
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
volatile
organic
compounds
from
these
vessels
for
petroleum
liquids
are
the
result
of
operation
of
the
affected
facilities.
The
subject
standards
are
achieved
by
the
reduction
of
volatile
organic
compound
emissions
using
vapor
recovery,
floating
roof,
or
their
equivalent.
The
notifications
required
in
the
applicable
regulations
are
used
to
inform
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
when
a
source
became
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
and
the
regulations
are
being
met.
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
NSPS
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.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
requested
recordkeeping
and
reporting
are
required
under
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
K.

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
on
May
19,
2003
(
68
FR
27059).
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
The
number
of
respondents
was
determined
from
a
data
pull
of
the
Aerometric
Information
Retrieval
System
(
AIRS)
Facility
Subsystem
(
AFS),
discussions
with
EPA
Regional
staff,
and
Office
of
Enforcement
and
Compliance
Assurance
staff
working
on
projects
relating
to
the
petroleum
refinery
sector.

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.

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

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.
This
information
will
be
used
to
monitor
vapor
recovery,
floating
roof
or
their
equivalent
pollution
control
devices,
thus
ensuring
continuous
compliance
with
the
standard.
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
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
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
over
100,000
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
or
operator
for
two
years.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
There
is
a
distribution
of
business
sizes
for
the
businesses
that
have
storage
vessels
for
petroleum
liquids.
A
majority
of
the
affected
facilities
are
large
entities
(
e.
g.,
large
businesses).
However,
the
impact
on
small
entities
(
e.
g.,
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
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.

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
669
(
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
NSPS
program,
the
previously
approved
ICR,
and
any
comments
received.

6(

Estimating
Respondent
Costs
(
i)
Estimating
Labor
Costs
This
ICR
uses
a
Technical
Labor
Rate
of
$
64.13
per
hour.
This
rate
is
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Labor,
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
June
2003,
"
Table
10.
Private
industry,
by
occupational
and
industry
group."
The
rates
are
from
column
1,
"
Total
compensation."
The
rate
has
been
increased
by
110%
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(
s)
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
are
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.
EPA's
overall
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
$
158.
This
cost
is
based
on
the
average
hourly
labor
rate
at
a
GS­
12,
Step
1,
times
a
1.6
benefits
multiplication
factor
to
account
for
government
overhead
expenses
for
a
total
of
$
39.49.
These
9
rates
are
from
the
Office
of
Personnel
Management
(
OPM)
"
2003
General
Schedule"
which
excludes
locality
rates
of
pay.
Details
upon
which
this
estimate
is
based

Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs
Based
on
our
research,
approximately
5,500
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard.
It
is
estimated
that
no
additional
sources
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
in
the
next
three
years.

Number
of
respondents
is
calculated
using
the
