Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Petroleum Refineries, published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC, were proposed on July 15, 1994, and promulgated on August 18, 1995. These regulations apply to the following existing and new petroleum refining process units and emission points located at refineries that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs): Miscellaneous process vents, storage vessels, wastewater streams and treatment operations, equipment leaks, gasoline loading racks, and marine vessel loading operations. These regulations also apply to storage vessels and equipment leaks associated with bulk gasoline terminals or pipeline breakout stations that are related to an affected petroleum refinery. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC.
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 Start Printed Page 18792sources subject to NESHAP. In addition, respondents are required to comply with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements contained in the following rules: either 40 CFR part 61, subpart VV or 40 CFR part 63, subpart H for equipment leaks (which includes an initial report and semiannual summaries of leak detection and repair); 40 CFR part 61, subpart FF for wastewater operations; portions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart R for gasoline loading racks; and 40 CFR part 63, subpart Y for marine tank vessel loading operations.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 320 (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: Petroleum refineries that are major sources of HAP emissions
Estimated Number of Respondents: 134
Frequency of Response: Annual, semiannual, on occasion, and quarterly
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 411,889 hours
Estimated Total Annual Costs: There are $37,026,877 in labor costs and no annualized capital/startup or O&M costs
Changes in the Estimates: The increase of 1,835 hours in labor burden to industry compared to the most recently approved ICR is due to various revisions and refinements to the calculation of burden hours for ongoing recordkeeping and reporting as applied to the existing respondents.
The revisions and refinements made to the calculation of burden hours also caused an increase in labor burden cost to the regulatory agencies when compared to the figures in the most recently approved ICR.
