Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Petroleum Refineries, published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC, were proposed on July 15, 1994, promulgated on August 18, 1995, and most recently amended on October 28, 2009. These regulations apply to the following existing and new petroleum refining process units and emission points located at refineries that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs): miscellaneous process vents, storage vessels, wastewater streams and treatment operations, equipment leaks, gasoline loading racks, and marine vessel loading operations. These regulations also apply to storage vessels and equipment leaks associated with bulk gasoline terminals or pipeline breakout stations that are related to an affected petroleum refinery. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC. 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. In addition, respondents are required to comply with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements contained in the following rules: either 40 CFR part 61, subpart VV or 40 CFR part 63, subpart H for equipment leaks (which includes an initial report and semiannual summaries of leak detection and repair); 40 CFR part 61, subpart FF for wastewater operations; portions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart R for gasoline loading racks; and 40 CFR part 63, subpart Y for marine tank vessel loading operations. 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.

ICR Summary of Burden

	Total Approved	Previously Approved	Change Due to New Statute	Change Due to Agency Discretion	Change Due to Adjustment in Estimate	Change Due to Potential Violation of the PRA
Annual Number of Responses	1,548	1,465	0	0	83	0
Annual Time Burden (Hours)	528,000	549,980	0	0	-21,980	0

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a decrease in respondent labor hours and the total O&M costs from the most-recently approved ICR. The decrease in burden is due to adjusting the number of respondents from 148 to 142. The updated number of respondents is based on the Agency’s industry analysis conducted for the recent RTR rule amendment, documented in EPA ICR Number 1692.08. This estimate is based on information from EPA’s Petroleum Refinery Database (contains data provided by each individual refinery in response to an EPA survey of the petroleum refinery industry in 2011) and the Agency’s internal data sources. However, there is a small adjustment increase in the number of responses due to a correction. The previous ICR did not account for semiannual heat exchanger system reports in calculating the number of responses. This ICR renewal includes this item to be consistent with the Table 1 and Table 2 burden calculations.
