SUPPORTING STATEMENT

THE CONSOLIDATED FEDERAL AIR RULE FOR SOCMI

(WITH NEW NSPS SUBPART VVa)

Part A of the Supporting Statement

1. Identification of the Information Collection

1(a) Title of the Information Collection

“The Consolidated Federal Air Rule for SOCMI (with New NSPS Subpart VVa)”

1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is for the Consolidated Federal Air Rule (CAR) for the Synthetic Organic Chemical Industry (SOCMI) and its referencing subparts. The burden estimates in this ICR reflect changes to subpart VV and new standards in subpart VVa; other burden estimates are consistent with the most recently approved ICR for the CAR. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will use this information to ensure compliance with the provisions in the CAR and its referencing subparts.

All existing sources must be in compliance with the requirements of the CAR and/or its referencing subparts within three years of the effective date (i.e., promulgation date) of the appropriate standard for the affected source. All new sources must be in compliance with the requirements of the CAR and/or its referencing subparts upon startup or the promulgation date of standards for an affected source, whichever is later. Compliance is assumed through initial performance testing or design analysis, as appropriate, and ongoing compliance is demonstrated through parametric monitoring. Types of parameters monitored are incinerator temperature, scrubber flow rate, carbon adsorber regeneration frequency, as well as others. The appropriate parameter to monitor depends on the type of control device with the owner or operator chooses to comply.

On December 14, 2000, the CAR was promulgated under 40 CFR part 65. The CAR is an optional alternative compliance approach for plant sites that must comply with existing subparts in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The CAR is a consolidation of major portions of 14 different New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) pertaining to storage vessels, process vents, transfer racks, and equipment leaks, and the general provisions for the three applicable parts (40 CFR parts 60, 61, and 63). These subparts from 40 CFR parts 60, 61, and 63 are referred to as “referencing subparts” because they have been amended to refer to the CAR as a compliance alternative. The referencing subparts include 40 CFR part 60, subparts Ka, Kb, VV, DDD, III, NNN and RRR; 40 CFR part 61, subparts BB, Y, and V; 40 CFR part 63, subparts F, G, H, and I.

Compliance with the CAR is a voluntary alternative; sources may continue to comply with existing applicable rules or may choose to comply with the consolidated rule. When preparing renewals for the CAR, or the referencing subparts, estimates are made of the percentage of existing sources that will opt to comply with the CAR in lieu of the referencing subparts. Because the CAR is designed for, although not limited to, SOCMI facilities, the number of facilities opting to comply with the CAR is based on the estimated number of SOCMI facilities. It is estimated that 25 percent of non-Hazardous Organic NESHAP (HON) sources will opt to comply with the CAR if the per-source burden of complying with the CAR is less than the per-source burden of complying with the referencing subpart. For those referencing subparts for which the per-source burden of complying with the CAR is higher than the per-source burden of complying with the referencing subpart (subparts Ka, Kb, Y, VV, III, NNN, RRR, and DDD), it is estimated that 5 percent of sources will opt to comply with the CAR. It is also estimated that 25 percent of HON sources will opt to comply with the CAR. It is assumed that all new sources will initially comply with the appropriate referencing subpart. For the three years covered by this ICR, it is assumed that none of the sources subject to new subpart VVa will comply with the CAR.

It is estimated that the consolidated collection will involve 3,305 respondents with 9,953 annual responses and respondent labor costs of $145,725,751. The total Agency burden is estimated to be 24,541 hours per year at a cost of $1,016,007. Total capital costs will be $3,373,000 per year, and total capital and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs will be $95,329,000 per year.

It is estimated that the information collection for the new subpart VVa will involve 76 respondents with 244 annual responses and respondent labor costs of $527,104. The total Agency burden for subpart VVa is estimated to be 614 hours per year at a cost of $25,438. Total capital costs will be $4,200 per year, and total capital and O&M costs will be $4,200 per year.

The CAR (Consolidated Air Rule)

In general, the NSPS, NESHAP, CAR, and maximum achievable control technology (MACT) regulations require initial notifications including one-time notifications of initial startup, applicability, and initial compliance status; performance tests, periodic monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting. Periodic reports are required semiannually, and a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan must be submitted and updated as needed. In addition, respondents taking advantage of various provisions for waivers, approval of alternative methods, and changes in submittal schedules would be required to submit requests or applications. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 65.

NSPS subpart Ka: Storage Vessels for Petroleum Liquids

The NSPS for subpart Ka were proposed on May 18, 1978 and promulgated on April 4, 1980. These standards apply to storage vessels of petroleum liquids that have a storage capacity greater than 151,416 (40,000 gallons), and for which construction, reconstruction or modification commenced after May 18, 1978 and prior to July 23, 1984. There is a de minimis exemption located at §60.110a(b). The regulated pollutants are volatile organic compounds (VOC). The universe of sources subject to NSPS subpart Ka is closed. Any new sources will be subject to NSPS subpart Kb, the most recent VOC standard applicable to storage vessels. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ka.

NSPS subpart Kb: Volatile Organic Liquid (VOL) Storage Vessels

The NSPS for subpart Kb were proposed on July 23, 1984 and promulgated on April 8, 1987. These standards apply to each storage vessel with a capacity greater than or equal to 40 cubic meters that is used to store volatile organic liquids, for which construction, reconstruction or modification commenced after July 23, 1984. There are exemptions for specific storage vessels listed in §§60.110b(b), 60.110b(c), and 60.110b(d). The standards include visual inspection, leak detection, and repair for equipment configurations including fixed and floating roofs. The regulated pollutants are VOC. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Kb.

NSPS subpart VV: Equipment Leaks of VOC in the SOCMI Industry

The NSPS for Emissions of VOC from Equipment Leaks in the SOCMI Industry were proposed on January 5, 1981. These standards were promulgated on October 18, 1983. They apply to specific pieces of equipment contained within a process unit in the synthetic organic chemicals manufacturing industry which was constructed, modified or reconstructed after the date of proposal and on or before November 7, 2006, and which produce as an intermediate or final product, one or more of the chemicals listed in §60.489. These include pumps in light liquid service, compressors, pressure relief devices in gas/vapor service, sampling connection systems, open‑ended valves or lines, valves in gas/vapor service and light liquid service, pumps and valves in heavy liquid service, pressure relief devices in light liquid or heavy liquid service and flanges and other connectors. The regulated pollutants are VOC. The universe of sources subject to NSPS subpart VV is closed. Any new sources will be subject to NSPS subpart VVa, the most recent VOC standard applicable to equipment leaks. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart VV.

NSPS subpart VVa: Equipment Leaks of VOC in the SOCMI Industry

NSPS subpart VVa is a new standard that applies to equipment contained within a SOCMI process unit that is constructed, modified, or reconstructed after November 7, 2006. The regulated pollutants are VOC. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart VVa.

The NSPS for the polymer manufacturing industry were proposed on September 30, 1987, and January 10, 1989, and promulgated on December 11, 1990. These standards apply to facilities involved in the manufacture of polypropylene, polystyrene, or poly(ethylene terephthalate) commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal or after January 10, 1989, depending on the process section. The affected facilities include: 1) For polypropylene and polyethylene manufacturing: each raw material preparation section, each polymerization reaction section, each material recovery section, each product finishing section, and each product storage; 2) For polystyrene manufacturing processes: each material recovery section; and 3) For polyethylene (terephthalate) manufacturing: each polymerization reaction section. For equipment leaks, the affected facilities are each group of fugitive emissions equipment within any process unit. The regulated pollutants are VOC. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDD.

NSPS subpart III: VOC Emissions from SOCMI Air Oxidation Unit Processes

The NSPS for the SOCMI Air Oxidation Unit Processes were proposed on October 21, 1983, and promulgated on June 29, 1990. These standards apply to the following facilities for which construction, modification or reconstruction is commenced after the date of proposal: 1) Each air oxidation reactor not discharging its vent stream into a recovery device; 2) Each combination of an air oxidation reactor and the recovery system into which its vent stream is discharged; and 3) Each combination of two or more air oxidation reactors and the common recovery system into which their vent streams are discharged. The standard applies to the affected facility which produces one or more of the chemicals listed in §60.617 as a product, co-product, byproduct or intermediate. The regulated pollutants are VOC. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart III.

NSPS subpart NNN: VOC Emissions from SOCMI Distillation Operations

The NSPS for the SOCMI Distillation Operations were proposed on December 30, 1983 and promulgated on June 29, 1990. These standards apply to the following facilities for which construction, modification or reconstruction is commenced after the date of proposal: 1) Each distillation unit not discharging its vent stream into a recovery device; 2) Each combination of a distillation unit and the recovery system into which its vent stream is discharged; and 3) Each combination of two or more distillation units and the common recovery system into which their vent streams are discharged. The standard applies to affected facilities producing one or more of the chemicals listed in §60.667 as a product, co-product, by-product, or intermediate. The regulated pollutants are VOC. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subparat NNN.

NSPS subpart RRR: VOC Emissions from SOCMI Reactor Processes

The NSPS for the synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI) Reactor Processes were proposed on June 29, 1990, and promulgated on August 31, 1993. These standards apply to affected facilities commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal: (1) Each reactor process not discharging its vent stream into a recovery system; (2) Each combination of a reactor processes and the recovery system into which its vent stream is discharged; (3) Each combination of two or more reactor processes and the common recovery system into which their vent streams are discharged. The standard applies to affected facilities producing one or more of the chemicals listed in §60.707 as a product, co-product, by-product, or intermediate. The regulated pollutants are VOC. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart RRR.

NESHAP subpart BB: Benzene Emissions from Benzene Transfer Operations

The National Emission Standards for Benzene Emissions from Benzene Transfer Operations were proposed on September 14, 1989, and promulgated on March 7, 1990. The affected facility to which this subpart applies is the total of all loading racks handling a liquid containing 70 weight-percent or more benzene, at which benzene is loaded into tank trucks, railcars, or marine vessels at each benzene production facility and each bulk terminal. However, specifically exempted from this regulation are loading racks at which only the following are loaded: Benzene-laden waste (covered under subpart FF of part 61), gasoline, crude oil, natural gas liquids, petroleum distillates (i.e., fuel oil, diesel, or kerosene), or benzene-laden liquid from coke by-product recovery plants. In addition, any affected facility which loads only liquid containing less than 70 weight-percent benzene or whose annual benzene loading is less than 1.3 million liters of 70 weight-percent or more benzene is exempt from the control requirements except for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements in §61.305(i). Marine vessels were given a one-year industry wide waiver of compliance, which was later extended to July 23, 1991, in order to allow for concurrent compliance with United States Coast Guard regulations. The regulated pollutant is benzene. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 61, subpart BB.

NESHAP subpart Y: Benzene Emissions from Benzene Storage Vessels

The NESHAP for Benzene Emissions from Storage Vessels were proposed in 1980 and re-promulgated in 1989 (54 FR 38077) as 40 CFR part 61, subpart Y. Entities affected by this action are those owners and operators of benzene storage vessels that store benzene having a specific gravity within the range of specific gravities as specified in ASTM D 4734-98 for Refined Benzene-545. Storage vessels with a design storage capacity less than 38 cubic meters (10,000 gallons) are exempt from the provisions of the subpart. Similarly, storage vessels used for storing benzene at coke by-product facilities or vessels permanently attached to motor vehicles such as trucks, rail cars, barges, or ships or pressure vessels designed to operate in excess of 204.9 kPa and without emissions to the atmosphere are also exempt from this subpart. The regulated pollutant is benzene. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 61, subpart Y.

NESHAP subpart V: National Emission Standard for Equipment Leaks (Fugitive Emission Sources)

Affected facilities include the following sources that are intended to operate in volatile hazardous air pollutant (HAP) service: pumps, compressors, pressure relief devices, sampling connection systems, open-ended valves or lines, valves, flanges and other connectors, product accumulator vessels, and control devices or systems. The standards for this subpart are leak detection and repair (LDAR). The regulated pollutants are volatile HAPs. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 61, subpart V.

NESHAP subparts F, G, H and I: The HON

The MACT standards for the HON were proposed on December 31, 1992 and promulgated on April 22, 1994. These standards apply to chemical manufacturing process units (CMPU’s) in the SOCMI industries, which manufacture as a primary product one or more of the chemicals listed in Table 1 of 40 CFR part 63, subpart F; use as a reactant or manufacture as a product, by-product, or co-product, one or more of the organic HAPs listed in Table 2 of subpart F; and are located at a plant site that is a major source as defined in section 112(a) of the Act. Additionally, styrene-butadiene rubber production, pesticide production, polybutadiene production, chlorinated hydrocarbon use in the production of chemicals, pharmaceutical production, and miscellaneous butadiene use are subject to the negotiated regulations affecting equipment leaks promulgated under subpart I. The emission points include transfer racks, storage tanks, wastewater systems, process vents and equipment leaks. The regulations apply to existing sources as well as new sources commencing construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. Hazardous air pollutants are the pollutants regulated under these subparts. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subparts F, G, H and I.

2. Need for and Use of the Collection

2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection

The Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) provides authority to the Agency to establish standards to control air pollution and to ensure compliance with promulgated regulations through adequate recordkeeping and reporting by the affected industries (i.e., respondents). The regulations include the NSPS under section 111 of the Act; the NESHAP, which includes the original NESHAP standards and the more recent MACT or NESHAP-MACT standards under section 112 of the Act; and emission guidelines for the designated types incinerators under section 129 of the Act.

2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard(s) are used by regulatory agencies, the public and the regulated community for a variety of reasons including the determination of the respondent’s compliance status, analytical studies to demonstrate compliance trends, and evaluations regarding the efficacy of the promulgated regulations.

The required recordkeeping and reporting are also used to: 1) certify compliance with the regulations; 2) determine the respondent’s compliance with the designated emission limitation(s); 3) notify regulatory agencies when a standard is violated; 4) evaluate continuous compliance through the use of emission or operational parameter monitors; and 5) ensure that plant personnel are following the required procedures and are periodically trained, as indicated.

3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

3(a) Nonduplication

The standards do not require duplication in the collection and reporting of information. 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 its 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.

3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

A public review and comment period occurred after proposal of the amendments to the Standards of Performance for equipment leaks of VOC in the SOCMI (40 CFR part 60, subpart VV).

3(c) Consultations

The EPA provided a 90-day public comment period after proposal of the amendments to the standards of performance for equipment leaks of VOC in the SOCMI. All affected parties were given the opportunity to comment on the proposed amendments during this period. Several comments were received on the standards and compliance procedures. Changes were made based on these comments.

During development of the proposed amendments, EPA held meetings and conference calls with representatives of petroleum refining companies and their trade associations (National Petroleum Refiners Association and American Petroleum Institute); however, recordkeeping and reporting requirements and related burden estimates were not discussed during these meetings. Representatives of the American Chemistry Council declined invitations to participate in development of the proposed amendments.

Interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the CAR and other referencing subparts when the CAR was being developed and in comments submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice announcing renewal of this ICR. Since the amendments to 40 CFR part 60, subpart VV and the new standards at subpart VVa do not affect the burden estimates for the CAR and other referencing subparts, no changes have been made to the burden estimates for those rules relative to the estimates in the last approved ICR for the CAR. Thus, the only consultation with industry being conducted at this time involves burden estimates for amendments to subpart VV and the new standards in subpart VVa.

3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection

The effect of less frequent collection would be a decrease in the margin of assurance that facilities are achieving the emission reductions mandated by the CAA through the promulgation of the applicable regulations. In addition, the likelihood of detecting the poor operation and maintenance of control equipment decreases, and the detection of noncompliance becomes problematic.

3(e) General Guidelines

Neither the reporting nor recordkeeping requirements violate the regulations established by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) at 5 CFR 1320.5. However, most NESHAP and a few NSPS require records to be kept more than three years. In general, these standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications, for five years. The five-year record retention requirement is consistent with the permit program at 40 CFR part 70, and the five-year statute of limitations on which the permit program is based.

The retention of records for five years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of the respondent for purposes of determining the appropriate level of enforcement action. Historically, EPA notes that the most flagrant violations have extended beyond a five-year period. If records are retained for less than five years, EPA would be deterred from pursuing the most flagrant violations due to the destruction of records documenting noncompliance.

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 set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B - Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

3(g) Sensitive Questions

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements do not contain sensitive questions.

4(b) Information Requested

(i) Data Items

Attachment A lists the recordkeeping and reporting requirements for the CAR and the referencing subparts.

Electronic Reporting

At present, many respondents to CAA standards use monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must evaluate the data, this internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at the plant site.

Also regulatory agencies, in cooperation with the respondents, continue to create reporting systems to transmit data electronically. However, electronic reporting systems are still not widely used. At this time, it is estimated that approximately 20 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.

(ii) Respondent Activities

The respondent activities required by the CAR and the referencing subparts are identified in the following table.

Respondent Activities

Read instructions.

Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CPMS for the appropriate control device

Perform initial performance test and repeat performance tests if necessary.

Write the notifications and reports listed in Attachment A

Enter information required to be recorded in Attachment A.

Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information.

Adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements.

Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information.

Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information.

5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management

5(a) Agency Activities

The Agency activities associated with the CAR are presented in Table 1, and the Agency activities associated with the referencing subparts are shown in Tables F-1 through F-12. EPA conducts one or more of these activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.

5(b) Collection Methodology and Management

The required data and reports can be evaluated on-site by conducting a partial compliance evaluation, full compliance evaluation or inspection, or through an off-site review of compliance monitoring records and reports. Evaluation reports and inspection results are maintained by the Agency or delegated authority.

The results of these evaluations are entered into the Air Facility Subsystem (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 data for approximately 125,000 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.

5(c) Small Entity Flexibility

Minimizing the information collection burden for all sizes of organizations is a continuing effort on EPA’s part. EPA has limited recordkeeping and reporting to the minimum necessary to ensure and verify compliance with the rule. The new standards in subpart VVa include additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements; experience with enforcing the existing subpart VV has shown that additional data are needed. Some of the records required in subpart VVa that are not required in subpart VV are already required in other equipment leak rules. For example, other rules already require records of the dates and results of weekly visual inspections of pumps. Other new requirements are unique to subpart VVa, but the level of effort involved is small. Generating records of all instrument readings should add minimal burden for most SOCMI facilities because identification of the equipment monitored, the instrument reading, and the monitoring date generally are collected electronically for all equipment while monitoring; the only additional burden would be to download all of the data rather than just the leaker data to storage, and to make sure that the records include identification of the operator and monitoring instrument. The burden will be greater for small facilities that rely on manual recording of instrument readings. It was assumed that 10 percent of the SOCMI sources that become subject to subpart VVa use manual recordkeeping procedures; for these facilities the additional recordkeeping burden was estimated to be 3.5 hours per year (hr/yr). Records (and related reporting) of leaks identified as a result of the new annual monitoring requirement for open-ended lines and the new requirement for connector monitoring are needed to document compliance with subpart VVa. Another activity is to record information regarding instrument calibrations and drift checks because this effort would apply each day when instrument monitoring is conducted. For a typical or average process, monitoring should take no more than about 7 days during months when valves must be monitored, less during other months. The recordkeeping level of effort per day, however, should be no more than a few minutes. Overall, EPA does not expect that small organic chemical manufacturing businesses will experience adverse impacts related to the cost of the reporting and recordkeeping requirements in the new standards of subpart VVa.

5(d) Collection Schedule

The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown in Table 5 for the CAR and Tables G-1 through G-13 for the referencing subparts, respectively.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

Table 5 for the CAR and Tables G-1 through G-13 for the referencing subparts document the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions 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 respondent burden is summarized in Table 6 and detailed in Table 5 for the CAR and Tables G-1 through G-13 for the referencing subparts. The labor hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the standard, the previously approved ICR, and any comments received. Changes from the previously approved ICR have been made for subparts VV and VVa in Tables G-3 and G-13, respectively.

6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs

(i) Estimating Labor Costs

This ICR uses the following labor rates:

Managerial (General and Operations) $125.87 ($59.94 + 110%)

Technical (Environmental Engineers) $74.36 ($35.41 + 110%)

Clerical (Office Support Occupations) $36.04 ($17.16 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2006 National Industry-Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, NAICS 325000 Chemical Manufacturing (http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics3_325000.htm) The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs

Because we assume that no new sources will opt to comply with the CAR at startup over the next 3 years, there are no capital costs associated with the CAR. Facilities that comply with the CAR are assumed to have already purchased any equipment needed to comply with the referencing subpart. Capital/Startup and O&M costs for the referencing subparts are summarized in Table 6.

Details of the capital/startup and O&M costs, as taken from the most recently approved ICR for the CAR and referencing subparts, are detailed in Appendix J. The capital/startup and O&M costs to comply with subpart VV are estimated to be $0 per year because it is assumed that facilities that are already complying with subpart VV will not need to buy an additional monitor, an no additional facilities will become subject to subpart VV in the future. The estimated capital/startup and O&M costs for subpart VVa are $4,200 per year. These costs are for an estimated 3 facilities that are assumed to construct new process units and that would have to purchase a monitor because they would not also be subject to other rules that require monitoring of equipment leaks.

(iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs

The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are detailed in Appendix J and summarized in Table 6 in column F. The total O&M costs for this ICR is the total of column E in Table 6.

6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Costs

The only costs to the Agency are those 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 and the publication and distribution of collected information.

The average annual Agency burden and cost during the three years of the ICR is 24,541 hours and $1,016,007. This is calculated in Table 2 for the CAR and Attachments F-1 through F‑12 for the referencing subparts, and is summarized in Table 6. See Table F-3 for the changes resulting from the amendments to subpart VV and Table F-12 for the new standards of subpart VVa.

This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

Managerial $57.20 (GS-13, Step 5, $35.75 x 1.6)

Technical $42.45 (GS-12, Step 1, $26.53 x 1.6)

Clerical $22.96 (GS-6, Step 3, $14.35 x 1.6)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2006 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay.

6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

Number of respondents is calculated in Table 5 for the CAR, and Attachments G-1 through G-13 for the referencing subparts for the three years covered by this ICR and summarized in Column (B) of Table 6.

A summary of the total annual labor cost may be found in Table 6. A detailed description of the Total Hours Requested may be found in Table 5 for the CAR, and Attachments G-1 through G-13 for the referencing subparts. See Table G-3 for the burden related to the amendments to subpart VV and Table G-13 for the new standards of subpart VVa.

6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables

The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are summarized in Table 6 and detailed in Tables 2 and 5 for the CAR, and Tables F-1 through F-12 and G-1 through G-13 for the referencing subparts, respectively.

(i) Respondent Tally

Details regarding the total hours requested and annual labor cost estimates may be found in Table 5 for the CAR, and Tables F-1 through F-12 and G-1 through G-13 for the referencing subparts, respectively. Furthermore, the overall annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 200 hours per response. This is calculated by dividing the Respondent Burden Hours in Table 6 by the Total Annual Responses in Table 6. The burden associated with the new subpart VVa is estimated to average 29 hours per response.

(ii) The Agency Tally

The average annual Agency burden hours and cost over next three years is 24,541 hours at a cost of $1,016,007. This is summarized in Table 6 and detailed in Table 2 for the CAR and Tables F-1 through F-12 for the referencing subparts. This burden is a decrease of 3,453 hours from the most recently approved ICR. The overall decrease is a combination of an estimated decrease in the number of sources subject to subpart VV, and an estimated increase due to the new standards of subpart VVa.

6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden

There is a decrease of 68,500 burden hours from the most recently approved ICR due to adjustments. These adjustments result from new standards of NSPS subpart VVa (Table G-13), and revised estimates of the number of sources subject to subpart VV (Table G-3). The new standards of NSPS subpart VVa require respondents to keep additional records for leaks from open-ended lines and connectors, the results of weekly inspections of pumps, daily calibrations and drift checks of the monitoring instrument, and all instrument readings. In addition, semiannual reports must include information related to leaks from open-ended lines and connectors. The adjustments to the number of sources are a result of analyses performed during development of the amendments to Subpart VV and the new standards in subpart VVa. Specific changes to tables are described below:

Table 6 - Since this is a summary table, the appropriate entries were changed according to the changes made to Tables F-3, F-12, G-3, and G-13.

Table F-3 - The table was updated to provide a more realistic estimate for the number of existing sources subject to these provisions, which decreased the overall burden for this subpart.

Table F-12 - The table was added to include an estimate of the burden to review reports required by the new NSPS subpart VVa. The estimate includes the same 2 hours to review semiannual reports that contain the information required by subpart VV, plus an additional 0.45 hour for Agency review of the additional information the must be submitted under subpart VVa. This estimate includes about 24 minutes to review information about open-ended lines (which is monitored and reported semi-annually) and about 3 minutes to review information about leaking connectors in one report per year.

Table G-3 - Table G-3 was updated to provide a more realistic estimate for the number of existing sources subject to these provisions, which decreased the overall burden for this subpart.

Table G-13 - Table G-13 was added to detail the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the new standards of NSPS subpart VVa. For 90 percent of the facilities, these requirements include the 80 hrs/occurrence to prepare the same records as required under subpart VV plus an additional 9.5 hrs/occurrence to enter records of the additional information required by subpart VVa. It also includes the 4 hr/occurrence to prepare semiannual reports with the same information required under subpart VV plus an additional 0.5 hr/occurrence to add the additional information required by subpart VVa. For the estimated 10 percent of facilities that manually record instrument readings, the additional recordkeeping is estimated to be 15.2 hrs/occurrence.

The 9.5 hours per year of additional recordkeeping burden associated with the new requirements in subpart VVa is estimated based on 30 minutes per year (min/yr) to record information about leaks and possibly delay of repair for open-ended lines (15 minutes for each semiannual monitoring event), 15 min/yr to record information about leaks for connectors (assuming the one-quarter of all connectors that are monitored during the year are all monitored in one semiannual period), 2 min/week to record the date and results of weekly visual inspections of pumps, 2 min/day for 7 d/month to record instrument calibration and drift check information, and 3 min/day for 7 d/month to record all of the instrument readings. The 7 days/month for instrument monitoring is a maximum for a typical process with about 1,600 valves and pumps and 1,400 connectors; in months when valve monitoring is not required, the number of monitoring days will be less. It is assumed that connectors are monitored every four years so that 350 are monitored each year. For the 10 percent of facilities that are small and manually record instrument readings it was assumed that the process has 15 pumps monitored monthly, 457 valves and 33 open-ended lines monitored twice per year, and 731 connectors monitored once every 4 years; an extra 10 seconds is needed to record each instrument reading, and an additional 2 hours per year was estimated to prepare and print recordkeeping forms. The additional reporting burden assumes 10 min/report to document information related to leaking open-ended lines (20 min/yr) and 10 min/yr to document information related to leaking connectors (i.e, every other report).

6(g) Burden Statement

The overall annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 200 hours per response (29 hours per response for the new subpart VVa).

It is estimated that 1/3 of the sources will submit an initial notification in each of the three years covered by this ICR. This equates to 27 per year (80/3) during each of the three years following promulgation.

^f Estimate that 318 equipment leak sources will comply with the CAR (240 from the HON, 59 from subpart VV and 19 from subpart V - see Table 4). Reports for equipment leaks will be submitted semiannually (318 x 2 = 636 per year). See Attachment C for assumptions and further description of activities.

^g Estimate that 25 percent of the 320 SOCMI facilities which equals 80 facilities will opt to comply with the CAR and must submit periodic reports each year.

a The HON, the basis for the CAR burden estimate, requires connector monitoring. Sources originally complying with subpart V or VV will not be required to perform connector monitoring if they opt to comply with the CAR. For this reason, a separate burden estimate was developed for sources that are not required to perform connector monitoring. The per-source burden for these facilities is the average of the per‑source burden for subparts V and VV. The average for subparts V and VV is 294 hours, 40.9 percent less than the HON-based estimate. Per-source estimates for each burden item were estimated by multiplying the HON-based estimate by 40.9 percent.

^b From most recently approved CAR ICR.

c Total burden for each source type is the product of the per-source burden and the total number of sources estimated to opt to comply with the CAR. The number of sources estimated to comply with the CAR are from the most recently approved ICR and are detailed in Table 3:

• process vents - 725

• storage vessels - 1,640

• transfer racks - 320

• equipment leaks with connector monitoring - 240

• equipment leaks without connector monitoring - 78

• facilities (used for inventory estimate) - 80

d Total burden for each burden item is the sum of totals for each source type. This burden represents technical hours only and is the basis for determining total burden in Table 5.

Following is a brief explanation of each column. A more detailed description is provided in Attachment E.

(a) Average hours per activity are back-calculated by dividing (c) by (b).

(b) Number of activities per year is based on the estimate of number of activities per year for the HON, with a reduction to reflect the consolidation of activities achieved through the CAR.

(c) Technical hours per year per source are the total technical hours for a burden item as estimated in Table 4, divided by 80 facilities.

(d) Estimated technical hours per year are the total technical hours for all facilities for each burden item, as estimated in Table 4.

(e) Estimated managerial hours per year are assumed to be 5 percent of technical hours. (e) = (d) x 0.05.

(f) Estimated clerical hours per year are assumed to be 10 percent of technical hours. (f) = (d) x 0.10.

(g) Annual Cost is the sum of costs for technical, managerial, and clerical hours based on the following rates from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2006 National Industry-Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, NAICS 325000 Chemical Manufacturing. The wages are for General and Operations Managers, Environmental Engineers, and Office and Administrative Support Occupations. The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

Managerial $125.87 ($59.94 + 110%)

Technical $74.36 ($35.41 + 110%)

Clerical $36.04 ($17.16 + 110%)

This equates to 636 EPA activities (318 * 2) during each of the three years following promulgation.

(B) That all sources must submit an Initial Notification of Part 65 Applicability or submit the corresponding information in a modification to their Title V permits. This equates to 80 EPA activities, or 27 per year (80/3) during each of the three years following promulgation.

Item descriptions:

(a) Average Hours per Activity are estimates of the specific activities and are the basis for estimating the overall burden.

(b) Number of Activities per Year represents the number of reports expected to be reviewed and other related activities during the course of the year, based upon assumptions (A) and (B).

(c) Estimated Technical Hours per Year is the product of (a) and (b).

(d) Estimated Managerial Hours per Year is 5 percent of (c).

(e) Estimated Clerical Hours per Year is 10 percent of (c).

(f) Estimated Annual Cost in $ Thousands per Year is the total cost of technical, managerial, and clerical hours and overhead using this formula:

(Ht * $42.45/hour) + (Hm * $57.20/hour) + (Hc * $22.96/hour) = (h)

1,000

Where:

Ht is (c), or technical hours,

Hm is (d), or managerial hours, and

Hc is (e), or clerical hours.

Source:

Annual cost is the sum of costs for technical, managerial, and clerical hours based on rates from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2006 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay.

Technical - $42.45 (GS-12, Step 1, $26.53 x 1.6)

Managerial - $57.20 (GS-13, Step 5, $35.75 x 1.6)

Clerical - $22.96 (GS-6, Step 3, $14.35 x 1.6)

1) Initial Notification of Part 65 Applicability/Title V Modification represents the EPA review of either the Initial Notification of Part 65 Applicability report or the source’s Title V modification through which the source notifies EPA that it intends to comply with the CAR. As noted in the supporting statement text, the EPA does not expect any new sources to elect to comply with the CAR during the 3-year period following promulgation.

2) Review Equipment Leak Monitoring represents the review and screening of periodic reports received as a result of the equipment leaks standard.

3) Review Periodic Reports represents the EPA review of periodic reports from new and existing sources.

Attachment D

Purposely left blank.

Attachment E

Assumptions and Item Descriptions for Table 6

Assumptions are:

(A) That there are 320 existing facilities, of which 25 percent (80) chose to comply with the CAR.

(B) That the average representative source will consist of a variety of sources. The total number of sources expected to comply with the CAR includes (from Table 4):

• 1,640 storage vessels;

• 320 transfer racks;

• 240 collections of subject equipment, including connectors;

• 78 collections of subject equipment, not including connectors;

 80 facility wide inventories of emission points; and

• 725 process vents.

(C) That there are 5 percent (0.05) managerial and 10 percent (0.10) clerical hours required for every technical hour.

(D) That some activities necessary to generate reports involve creating records in the process, and that these activities are assumed to be reports activities alone, to avoid double counting these as records activities as well. Therefore, only items 8 and 9 are considered records burdens directly.

Item descriptions:

(a) Average Hours per Activity is back-calculated by dividing (b) into (c). Since the activities within each burden category can vary significantly, it is too inaccurate to assume an average to use to calculate (c). Estimated activity technical hours are calculated in Table 5 and entered into column (c); (a) is then back-calculated with an estimated (b).

(b) Estimated Number of Activities per Year per Source represents the assumed typical number of separate activities a source may encounter during one year. This number may vary from facility to facility depending on consolidation of activities, co-located readings, etc. Since so much variability exists, it is important to note that this an estimate. This number was only used to back-calculate (a). The numbers are based on the number of activities per year estimated for complying with the HON. The numbers have been reduced to reflect the consolidation of activities achieved through the CAR.

(c) Technical Hours per Year per Source is the total technical hours for a burden item, as estimated in Table 7 divided by 80 facilities. Because of the variability in the number and combination of sources at a facility, this value could vary widely.

(d) Estimated Technical Hours per Year is the sum of total technical hours for all sources for each burden item, as estimated in Table 7.

(e) Estimated Managerial Hours per Year is 5 percent of (d).

(f) Estimated Clerical Hours per Year is 10 percent of (d).

(g) Estimated Annual Cost in Thousands of Dollars per Year is the total cost of technical, managerial, and clerical hours and overhead using this formula:

(Ht * $74.36/hour) + (Hm * $125.87/hour) + (Hc * $36.04/hour)=(g)

Where:

Ht is (d), or technical hours,

Hm is (e), or managerial hours, and

Hc is (f), or clerical hours.

1) Read Rule and Instructions consists of the activities, less training, which involve comprehending the provisions in the standard and understanding how they apply to the respective points at a facility.

2) Plan Activities represents such burdens as design, redesign, and scheduling, as well as selecting methods of compliance.

3) Training represents the portion of activities from 1) Read Rule and Instructions for which an average facility would elect to provide class room instruction. The standard does not require specific training itself.

4) Create, Test, Research and Development are the activities involving testing, retesting, establishing operating ranges for parameters, and analyzing point by point applicability. Monitor-related refit, calibration, and maintenance activities are also included under this heading.

5) Gather Information, Monitor, and Inspect are the activities involving physical inspections of equipment, collection of monitored data, and other related activities.

6) Process/Compile and Review are the activities that involve analysis of the information collected for accuracy and compliance as well as appropriate records and reports required as a result.

7) Complete Reports represents the activities normally associated with filling out forms. Since the standard requires no standard forms, these activities relate to the preparing of formal reports and cover letters.

8) Record/Disclose are solely recordkeeping activities which occur once the appropriate report information has been extracted; see assumption (D). These activities involve software translation, duplication, or archival processes normally associated with data management and storage common to this industry.

9) Store/File are activities which are solely recordkeeping which occur once the appropriate report information has been extracted; see assumption (D). These activities involve the management life cycle of records, from the time they are filed and boxed up to the time they are disposed.

^b All new sources will be subject to subpart VVa.

^c There are an average of 436 existing sources per year for the next three years, based on the assumption of 525 sources in the first and second year, and 258 in the 3^rd year (when sources will become subject to the MON). The 525 sources is based on an estimated 1272 process units making SOCMI chemicals, of which 879 are potentially subject to the HON, and 393 are potentially subject to the MON. All of them are assumed to have been constructed, reconstructed, or modified since the effective date of subpart VV and thus subject to subpart VV. Of the 879 processes making HON chemicals, 15 percent (132) are estimated to be at area sources and thus subject only to subpart VV, not the HON. All 393 process units making MON chemicals are assumed to be subject only to subpart VV in the first two years. For the third year, after the effective date of the MON, it is assumed that only 126 of the 393 will still be subject to subpart VV (an estimated 59 at area sources and 67 that emit only VOC, no HAP). Sources subject to both subpart VV and either the MON or HON are assumed to be complying with the HON or MON and are not included in this analysis. This analysis may overestimate the number of sources because it assumes each source has only one affected process unit.

^a Assume that there will be no new source subject to the requirements of this regulation. Similar new sources will be subject to NSPS Subpart Kb. There are 174 existing sources with an average of 50 tanks per facility.

^b United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2006 National Industry‑Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, NAICS 325000 Chemical Manufacturing. The wages are for Environmental Engineers, General and Operations Managers, and Office and Administrative Support Occupations. The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. Technical ‑ $74.36/hr; Managerial ‑ $125.87/hr; Clerical ‑ $36.04/hr.

^c Estimate that 10 percent of respondents (17) will use a vapor recovery control system, and 90 percent (157) will use a floating roof system. Respondents using vapor recovery control are not required to do seal gap measurements. All of the tanks using floating roof (157) will perform a secondary seal gap measurement. 20 percent (31) will conduct a primary seal gap measurement. 157 + 31 = 188 respondents submitting a notification of either primary or secondary gap measurement.

^d Assume that 3 percent of respondents using a floating roof will have excessive seal gaps (primary or secondary) requiring that a single report be filed once a year.

^e Estimate five hours to conduct secondary seal measurements annually for the average 50 tanks per respondent.

^f Estimate two hours to conduct primary seal measurements every five years for the average 50 tanks per respondent.

^g During any one year, a respondent would change liquid in approximately 20 percent of the facilities (35).

^h Estimate 0.2 hours to record a liquid change per tank in 20 percent (10) of the average of 50 tanks per facility.

^a Estimate that there are 580 existing respondents with an average of 7,254 regulated vessels in service over the next three years. Estimate that 75 percent (5,468) of vessels have IFR, and 20 percent (1,458) have EFR, and 5 percent (355) have closed-vent control systems. This does not include sources subject to both Subpart Kb and the HON, which are assumed to be complying with the HON.

^b United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2006 National Industry‑Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, NAICS 325000 Chemical Manufacturing. The wages are for Environmental Engineers, General and Operations Managers, and Office and Administrative Support Occupations. The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. Technical ‑ $74.36/hr; Managerial ‑ $125.87/hr; Clerical ‑ $36.04/hr.

^c The General Provision notifications of modification or malfunction will be covered by notification within the subpart.

^d Assume that there will be 37 new respondents each of the next three years, which includes 28 IFRs, 7 EFRs, and 2 CVS.

^e For each of the 5,468 IFRs at 580 respondents, 80 percent (464) will conduct an annual visual inspection, and 20 percent (116) will conduct an internal inspection. These activities are required to generate the information for the IFR failure report and the EFR primary and secondary seal gap reports, but do not generate a response for the purposes of the total for Block 13b.

^f One percent failure rate for the 5468 IFRs choosing annual visual inspections equals approximately 55.

^g Ten percent of 55 failed IFRs are delayed in repair or emptying equals approximately 6.

^h Assume that all 5,468 IFR tanks will be routinely serviced through a shutdown and degassed once every ten years. One tenth of the 5468 IFRs will be degassed each year, for an annual average of 547 per year. This number was added to the estimated 55 visual inspection failures that would lead to internal inspections, for a total estimate of 602 notices of refill.

^a Assume that there will be an average 38 new, modified, or reconstructed facilities each year over the next 3 years. Estimate that 23 of new affected sources will be due to construction, and 15 will be reconstructed or modified. There are an average of 38 new affected sources each year after promulgation of VVa. Assume 10 percent are small facilities that will record instrument readings manually, and 90 percent of facilities use automated equipment to capture instrument readings electronically. Assume that costs are being calculated for the second of the three years after promulgation of VVa, so that the 38 new sources in the first year are existing sources in the second year. Since subpart VVa is more stringent than the HON and MON, no sources are assumed to be complying with the HON or MON instead of subpart VVa.

^d Details of the additional hours relative to the hours for a source subject to subpart VV are provided in section 6(f) of Part A of the Supporting Statement.

Attachment H

Assumptions and Item Descriptions for Attachment F: Table F-11

(A) That all existing and new sources must submit an initial report within 120 days of promulgation and an implementation plan or permit application within 12 or 18 months of the compliance date. It is assumed that initial reports and implementation plans have been submitted for existing sources and these reports are only required for new sources. The new sources are most likely to be collocated within existing plants and be included in those existing source reports.

(B) That semiannual reports of results from equipment leak detection and repair programs are required by the equipment leak standard. Sources are required to comply with the equipment leak standard by 6 months after promulgation. It is assumed that an average of 320 facilities will submit reports semiannually (320 x 2 = 640) (even those that use the CAR will still have to submit reports under the HON for wastewater).

Item Descriptions:

(a) Average Hours per Activity are estimates of the specific activities and are the basis for estimating the overall burden.

(b) Number of Activities per year represents the number of reports expected to be reviewed and other related activities during the course of the year. Under the performance test headings, these numbers are based upon assumptions (A) and (B), above. For one-time reports, the total number of reports expected over the three-year period was divided by three to get an annual average incorporating assumption (C), above.

(c) Estimated Technical Hours per year is the product of (a) and (b).

(d) Estimated Managerial Hours per year is 5 percent of (c).

(e) Estimated Clerical Hours per year is 10 percent of (c).

(f) Estimated Annual Cost per year is the sum of costs for technical, managerial, and clerical hours based on rates from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2006 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay.

Technical - $42.45 (GS-12, Step 1, $26.53 x 1.6)

Managerial - $57.20 (GS-13, Step 5, $35.75 x 1.6)

Clerical - $22.96 (GS-6, Step 3, $14.35 x 1.6)

(H^t x $42.45/hour)+(H^m x $57.20/hour)+(H^c x $14.35/hour) = (G)

Where:

H^t is (c), or technical hours

H^m is (d), or managerial hours, and

H^c is (e), clerical hours

Report Review:

1) Initial represents the EPA review of all initial reports received.

2) Implementation Plan or Permit Applications represents the EPA review of all implementation plans, or permit applications if submitted in lieu of an implementation plan.

3) Compliance Status represents compliance status verification by the EPA for the portions of the standard which a source must comply with before the compliance date (see assumption (D) above).

4) Review equipment leak monitoring represents the review and screening of periodic reports received as a result of the equipment leaks standard.

5) Notification of construction/reconstruction represents the EPA review of this notification from new sources.

6) Notification of anticipated startup represents the EPA review of this notification from new sources.

7) Notification of actual startup represents the EPA review of this notification from new sources.

8) Notification of performance test represents the EPA review of this notification from new sources.

9) Review of test results represents the EPA review of performance test results for new sources.

10) Review periodic reports represents the EPA review of periodic reports.

TOTAL BURDEN AND COST is the sum of each of the columns (d), (e), (f) and (g).

Attachment I

Assumptions and Item Descriptions for Attachment G: Tables G-11 and G-12

Assumptions are:

(A) That there are 240 existing facilities out of 320 that will continue to comply with the HON, rather than the CAR. The 80 facilities complying with the CAR will still be required to comply with the HON wastewater provisions, as the CAR does not include wastewater provisions. The total number of facilities will increase by 5 new facilities per year. Since new facilities must be in compliance at startup, the general periodic recordkeeping and reporting burdens are included, which accounts for the difference in the technical hours per facility. No new facilities are expected to comply directly with the CAR.

(B) That the average representative source, new and existing, will consist of the following points of burden:

20 parameters to monitor at control devices throughout the facility

10 affected storage tanks of various capacities

3 affected major wastewater streams

4 affected transfer rack operations

3 overall leak detection and repair programs for 2,000 points

1 emissions averaging program that involves 10 emission points

1 facility wide inventory of emission points, Group 1 and Group 2

8 process vents per facility

(C) That there are 5 percent (0.05) managerial and 10 percent (0.10) clerical hours required for every technical hour.

(D) That some activities necessary to generate reports involve creating records in the process, and that these activities are assumed to be reports activities alone, to avoid double counting these as records activities as well. Therefore, only items 8 and 9 are considered records burdens directly.

Item Descriptions:

(a) Average Hours per Activity is back-calculated by dividing (b) into (c). Since the activities within each burden category can vary significantly, it is too inaccurate to assume an average to use to calculate (c). Estimated activity technical hours are summarized to obtain (c) first, then back calculate for (a) with an estimated (b).

(b) Estimated Number of Activities per year per source represents the assumed typical number of separate activities a source may encounter during one year. This number may vary from facility to facility, depending on consolidation of activities, collocated readings, etc. Since so much variability exists, it is important to note that this is an estimate. This number was only used to back-calculate (a).

(c) Technical Hours per year per source is the actual best estimate of the burden for each burden item. The three-year separate activity burdens were divided by three, where appropriate, and then summarized to include in this column. The technical hours for new sources is higher because some periodic compliance reports and records are required at startup. Existing sources do not encounter these reports and record burdens for three years after promulgation.

(d) (Table G-11) Estimated Number of New Sources reflect the number given in assumption (A), above. (Table G-12) Technical Hours Per Year Per Source for Wastewater are the annual technical hours associated with recordkeeping and reporting to ensure compliance with requirements for wastewater. As discussed in assumption (A), facilities complying with the CAR will comply with the HON wastewater requirements. Burden hours per source, per emission type are shown in Table B-1.

(e) Estimated Technical Hours per year is the product of (c) and (d) for new facilities (Table G-11). For Table G-12, estimated technical hours are the product of (c) and the number of existing facilities complying with all of the HON (240) added to the product of (d) and the number of facilities complying with only the wastewater provisions (80).

(f) Estimated Managerial Hours per year is 5 percent of (e).

(g) Estimated Clerical Hours per year is 10 percent of (e).

(h) Estimated Annual Cost per year is from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2006 National Industry-Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, NAICS 325000 Chemical Manufacturing. The rates are for General and Operations Managers, Environmental Engineers, and Office and Administrative Support Occupations. The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

(H^t x $74.36/hour)+(H^m x $125.87/hour)+(H^c x $36.04/hour) = (G)

Where:

H^t is (e), or technical hours

H^m is (f), or managerial hours, and

H^c is (g), clerical hours

1) Read Rule and Instructions are the activities, less training, which involve comprehending the provisions in the standard and understanding how they apply to the respective points at a facility.

2) Plan Activities represents such burdens as design, redesign, scheduling as well as drafting the implementation plan, and selecting methods of compliance.

3) Training represents the portion (assumed 40 percent) of activities from 1) Read Rule and Instruction for which an average facility would elect to provide class room instruction. The standard does not require specific training itself.

4) Create, Test, Research and Development are the activities involving testing, retesting, establishing operating range for parameters and analyzing point by point applicability. Monitor related refit, calibration and maintenance activities are also included under this heading.

5) Gather Information, Monitor and Inspect are the activities involving physical inspections of equipment, collection of monitored data and other related activities.

6) Process/Compile and Review are the activities that involve analysis of the information collected for accuracy, compliance, and appropriate reports and records required as a result.

7) Complete Reports represents the activities normally associated with filling out forms. Since the standard requires no standard forms, these activities relate to the preparing of formal reports and cover letters as appropriate.

8) Record/Disclose are activities which are solely recordkeeping which occur once the appropriate report information has been extracted [see assumption (D)] above. These activities involve software translation, duplication, or archival processes normally associated with data management and storage common to this industry.

9) Store/File are again activities which are solely recordkeeping which occur once the appropriate report information has been extracted (see assumption (D) above). These activities involve the management life cycle of records, from the time they are filed and boxed up, to the time they are disposed.

TOTAL BURDEN AND COST is the sum of each of the columns (e), (f), (g) and (h).

b. Total Cost of Operation and Maintenance of Monitoring Equipment:

The total Operating and Maintenance (O&M) Costs for this ICR is $0.

c. Total Capital/Startup and O&M Cost:

The total Capital and O&M Costs are $0.

NSPS Subpart Kb

a. Total Capital/Startup Cost of Monitoring Equipment:

The total Capital/Start-up costs for this ICR are $27,000. This is the cost for 2 new storage tanks to install monitoring equipment associated with the CVS routed to a control device. The storage tanks will use equipment similar to that used for subparts NNN and III; therefore, the startup costs are approximately $13,500 per facility for a total of $27,000. There are no capital/startup costs for the remaining 35 new storage tanks complying by either an IFR or EFR.

b. Total Cost of Operation and Maintenance of Monitoring Equipment:

The average annualized burden is estimated to be $1,350 per year per affected facility ($13,500 discounted over 10 years by straight line depreciation method) for both new and existing affected sources using CVS to a control device (31), for a total of $41,850.

c. Total Capital/Startup and O&M Cost:

The total Capital and O&M Costs are $68,850.

a. Total Capital/Startup Cost of Monitoring Equipment:

The capital/startup costs of this regulation are $4,200. This is based on the average cost of a monitor ($7,000) with a 5-year expected life. The equipment is not capitalized, so no discount rate applies. The average annual cost is, therefore, $7,000/5, or $1,400/yr. It is estimated that only area sources that construct new process units might purchase a monitoring instrument. All other sources should have monitoring equipment because they are either subject to MACT rules or have been subject to NSPS subpart VV for other processes. Assuming that 38 process units are subject to NSPS subpart VVa each year, 60 percent of new sources are newly constructed sources, and that 15 percent of all new sources are area sources, an estimated 3 facilities with a new process unit will buy a monitoring instrument to comply with NSPS subpart VVa.

b. Total Cost of Operation and Maintenance of Monitoring Equipment:

The operation of the monitors is included in the monitoring costs. Maintenance costs on these units is incidental; therefore, no maintenance or operation costs incur.

c. Total Capital/Startup and O&M Cost:

The total Capital and O&M Costs are $4,200.

NSPS Subpart DDD

a. Total Capital/Startup cost of Monitoring Equipment:

The capital/startup costs for this regulation are $300,000. This is based on 10 new sources per year multiplied by $30,000 per source for monitoring equipment.

b. Total Cost of Operation and Maintenance of Monitoring Equipment:

The annual operation and maintenance costs are $630,000 dollars. This is based on 80 existing sources plus 10 new sources over the life of the ICR multiplied by $7,000 for upkeep of the monitoring devices.

c. Total Capital/Startup and O&M Cost:

The total Capital and O&M Costs are $930,000.

NSPS Subpart NNN/III

a. Total Capital/Startup Cost of Monitoring Equipment:

The startup cost of monitoring equipment is approximately $13,500 per new affected facility for both Subpart III, Air Oxidation Operations and Subpart NNN, Distillation Operations, or a total of $2,403,000 (total of 178 new sources x $13,500/source).

b. Total Cost of Operation and Maintenance of Monitoring Equipment:

The average annualized burden is estimated to be $1,350 per year per affected facility ($13,500 discounted over 10 years by straight line depreciation method) for Subpart III and for Subpart NNN for a total of $1,830,600 [($1,350 x 1,356) total number of new and existing affected sources under NNN and III].

c. Total Capital/Startup and O&M Cost:

The total Capital and O&M Costs are $4,233,600.

NSPS Subpart RRR

a. Total Capital/Startup cost of Monitoring Equipment:

c. Total Capital and O&M Cost

The total Capital and O&M Costs are $0.

NESHAP HON:

Subpart G

a. Total Capital/Startup Cost of Monitoring Equipment:

Estimate the cost to purchase monitoring equipment is approximately $20-30K for process vents and wastewater operations, or an average of $25K with a 10-year life expectancy and a 7 percent depreciation rate, or $2225 per year. There are no associated costs for transfer racks and storage tanks. Only new sources need to buy monitoring equipment; therefore, the total capital/startup cost is $25,000 x 5, or $125,000.

b. Total Cost of Operation and Maintenance of Monitoring Equipment:

The cost to industry associated with the operation and maintenance (O&M) is approximately $100-500K per year (capital/startup depreciation not included) for reactor process vents and wastewater operations. The cost associated with the operation and maintenance is $50-100K per year (capital/startup depreciation not included) for distillation units process vents. There are no associated costs for transfer racks and storage tanks. The average O&M cost is assumed to be the average of the two ranges, or $275,000 per year. Operation and maintenance incur for both new and existing sources. The total O&M is, therefore, $275,000 x 245, or $67,375,000.

c. Total Capital/Startup and O&M Cost:

The total Capital and O&M Costs are $67,500,000.

Subpart H

a. Total Capital/Startup Cost of Monitoring Equipment:

Only new sources will buy an organic volatile analyzer. Estimate the average cost of a monitor is $7,000 with a 5-year expected life. The equipment is not capitalized, so no discount rate applies. The average annual cost is, therefore, $7,000/5, or $1,400/yr. Estimate that 80 percent of facilities contract out LDAR services, and 20 percent perform in-house. Those facilities which contract out (4 facilities) will purchase one unit as backup; the remaining facilities performing LDAR in-house (1 facility) will purchase 5 units to support the program. The total annual capital/startup cost is, therefore, 9 units x 1400/unit, or $12,600/yr.

b. Total Cost of Operation and Maintenance of Monitoring Equipment:

The operation of the monitors is included in the monitoring costs. Maintenance costs on these units is incidental; therefore, no maintenance or operation costs incur.

c. Total Capital and O&M Cost for Subparts H, and I:

The total Capital and O&M Costs are $12,600.

Part 65 CAR

a. Total Capital/Startup Cost of Monitoring Equipment:

Under the CAR, it is assumed all new sources start out under the referencing subpart. Therefore, there is no capital/startup cost associated with this subpart.

b. Total Cost of Operation and Maintenance of Monitoring Equipment:

The HON is the basis for determining O&M costs for the CAR. The average cost per source, based on the HON is $275,000 per year, for a total of $22,000,000.

c. Total Capital/Startup and O&M Cost:

The total Capital and O&M Costs are $22,000,000.
