EPA is proposing to amend to the New
Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Equipment Leaks of Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOC) in Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR part 60,
subpart GGG) and the NSPS for Equipment Leaks of VOC in the
Synthetic Organic Chemical Industry (SOCMI) (40 CFR part 60,
subpart VV). NSPS subpart GGG references NSPS subpart VV for
compliance. This information collection request (ICR) builds on the
previously approved ICR by covering the information collection
requirements for sources subject to subpart GGG, including the
proposed amendments to the reporting and recordkeeping provisions.
Potential respondents include 45 existing sources and 2 new sources
per year over the next three years. Under the proposed amendments
to subpart VV, sources would be requried to maintain records of
leaking open-ended lines, instrument calibration activities, all
instrument readings, the results of weekly pump inspections, and
information about possible flow in lines that bypass control
devices. In addition, the sources would be required to include
information about leaking open-ended lines and flow in bypass lines
in semi annual compliance reports.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
