Title: NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1659.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0325.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2007. 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 the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart R, were promulgated on December 14, 1994 (59 FR 64318). The standards were revised on June 26, 1995 (60 FR 32913), to correct errors in the printing of the emission screening equation in the final standards, and amended on February 29, 1996 (61 FR 7723), to extend the initial compliance date for the equipment leak standard. The standards were amended again June 12, 1996 (61 FR 29875), to clarify the coverage of gasoline loading racks at refineries with through-puts greater than 75,700 liters/day. Updated direct final standards were promulgated on February 28, 1997 (62 FR 9092), to implement a proposed settlement with the American Petroleum Institute. These regulations apply to facilities that are new or existing pipeline breakout stations or bulk gasoline terminals with through-puts greater than 75,700 liters/day, commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal.
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 29 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 facilities that are new or existing pipeline breakout stations or bulk gasoline terminals.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 447.
Frequency of Response: Initially, semiannually and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 15,756 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,755,864, which includes $0 annualized Capital Startup costs, $357,000 annualized Operating and Maintenance Costs (OM), and $1,398,864 annualized Labor Costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There are two categories of burden in this ICR, major sources and area sources. There is a net decrease in burden hours from the most recently approved ICR due to a decrease in the number of major sources subject to the standard. The decrease occurred because major sources reduced their emissions or otherwise demonstrated that their emissions were below the threshold level for applicability in the standard. However, it should be noted that the previous ICR did not include the burden hours for area sources.
After the calculations were updated to include managerial and clerical hours for major sources, and we added the burden associated with area sources, the sum total of the increases did not offset burden hours associated with the decrease in the number of major sources required to comply with the standard. Hence, there is a net overall decrease in the burden hours to comply with this standard.
