In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, OMB is withholding approval at this time. Prior to
publication of the final rule, the agency must submit to OMB a
summary of all comments related to the information collection
contained in the proposed rule and the agency response. The agency
should clearly indicate any changes made to the information
collection as a result of these comments.

The EPA is proposing to revise 40 CFR
part 63, subpart CC as it applies to existing and new petroleum
refining process units and emission points located at refineries
that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions.
Emission points affected by the revisions are miscellaneous process
vents, storage vessels, and equipment leaks. There are new
provisions for delayed coking unit vents and for fenceline
monitoring, which include new recordkeeping and reporting
requirements. There are also additional requirements and
clarifications for storage vessels, which include revisions to the
inspection, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements. In addition,
electronic reporting is now required for fenceline monitoring and
performance testing. This information is being collected to assure
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC. The previous approved
ICR for this subpart (1692.06) included estimates of the
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting burden for 134 refineries,
including process vents, storage vessels, and process units subject
to leak detection and repair (LDAR). This ICR estimates burden due
to proposed rule changes for 142 major source refineries for
process vents, storage vessels, and process units subject to LDAR.
This ICR also estimates the additional burden associated with the
new fenceline monitoring requirements for the 142 major source
refineries. The original ICR did not include burden estimates for
wastewater operations or transfer operations because the
recordkeeping and reporting requirements for these emission points
are covered under other rules. This ICR also does not contain
burden estimates for wastewater operations or transfer operations
because there were no changes in the provisions for these emission
points.
The increase in burden is
primarily due to new fenceline monitoring requirements, new flare
monitoring requirements, and new recordkeeping and reporting
requirements for relief devices, delayed cokers, and control device
bypass valves. There are also new inspection requirements and
associated reporting and recordkeeping requirements for storage
tanks. An estimated 112 new storage tanks will be subject to
existing requirements due to threshold changes.
