	Date Received in OIRA: 10/10/1996
Terms of Clearance: This ICR previously received a temporary 5-month extension to allow the agency time to conduct an updated assessment of the size of the requlated industry. This was done but the new data was initially not properly incorperated into the burden estimates in the resubmitted ICR. Corrected burden estimates were finally received Jan 7, 1997. Although it took some time, the agency ultimately did a good job of providing up-to-date estimates of industry size and regulatory burden.

Abstract: Owners/operators of natural gas processing plants must notify EPA of construction, modification, startups, shutdowns, malfunctions, dates, and for compliance with the SO2 standard, results to initial performance tests. Owner/operators of onshore natural gas processing plants that are potential VOC emitters records must be kept of leaks from pressure relief devices, the date of leak detection, repair method used, and other pertinent details. For potential SO2 emitters, records must be kept of excess SO2 emissions. The information is necessary to ensure that these standards are being met. Reports are semiannual.
