NESHAP for Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline) Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal)

1. Identification of the Information Collection

1(a) Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline) Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 1963.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0539

1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline) Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE) were proposed on April 2, 2002, promulgated on February 3, 2004, and amended on both July 28, 2006, and July 17, 2008. These regulations apply to both new and existing facilities that distribute organic liquids into, out of, or within a major source plant site. Organic liquids distribution includes, but is not limited to, such activities as storage, transfer, blending, compounding, and packaging. Organic liquid means any non-crude oil liquid or liquid mixture that contains 5 percent by weight or greater of the organic HAP listed in Table 1 to this Subpart, as determined using the procedures specified in Section 63.2354(c) and/or any crude oils downstream of the first point of custody transfer.

Organic liquids, for the purposes of this Subpart, do not include the following liquids: gasoline (including aviation gasoline); kerosene (No. 1 distillate oil); diesel (No. 2 distillate oil); asphalt: heavier distillate and fuel oils; any fuel consumed or dispensed on the plant site directly to users (such as fuels for refueling fleet and marine vessels that support the operation of the plant); hazardous waste; wastewater; ballast water; or any non-crude oil liquid with an annual average true vapor pressure (TVP) less than 0.7 kilopascals (0.1 psia). New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE.

In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notification reports, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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 affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file containing these documents, and retain the file for at least five years following the generation date of such 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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.

The “Affected Public” includes owners and operators of facilities that distribute organic liquids. None of the affected facilities in the United States are owned by state, local, tribal or the Federal government. They are all owned and operated by privately-owned, for-profit businesses. We assume that they will all respond to EPA requirements. The “burden” to the Affected Public may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline) Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal). The Federal Government’s burden is attributed entirely to work performed by Federal employees or government contractors and may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline) Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal).

Over the next three years, approximately 381 respondents per year will be subject to the standard, and 12 additional respondents per year will become subject to the same standards. Additionally, the same number of facilities will close and will no longer be subject to the standards each year; therefore, the overall growth rate of the industry is zero.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active ICR without any “Terms of Clearance”.

2. Need for and Use of the Collection

2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection

The EPA is charged under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Act to:

(A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonably require.

In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from organic liquid distribution facilities either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and/or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE.

2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in these standards ensure compliance with the applicable regulations, which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.

Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility’s initial capability to comply with the emission standards. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with these standards at all times. During the performance test, a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor.

The notifications required in these standards are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated, leaks are being detected and repaired, and that these same standards are being met. The performance test may also be observed.

The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.

3. Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE.

3(a) Non-duplication

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. Therefore, duplication does not exist.

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

An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register (80 FR 32116) on June 5, 2015. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.

3(c) Consultations

The Agency has consulted industry experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years. The primary source of information as reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in these standards, is the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS). ICIS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government-owned facilities. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency’s internal industry experts.

Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with these standards as they were being developed and these standards have been reviewed previously to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. In developing this ICR, we contacted: 1) the Dow Chemical Company, at (979) 238-5418; and 2) the DuPont Company, at (302) 774-8043.

It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal, as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice. In this case, no comments were received.

3(d) Effects of Less-Frequent Collection

Less-frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet these standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less-frequently, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.

3(e) General Guidelines

These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.

These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards. EPA believes that the five-year records retention requirement is consistent with the Part 70 permit program 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 a source, any pattern of non-compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five years. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records.

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 (CBI) (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).

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

5(a) Agency Activities

EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.

Agency Activities

Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.

Audit facility records.

Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) and ICIS.

5(b) Collection Methodology and Management

Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source’s initial capability to comply with the emission standards. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.

Information contained in the reports is reported by state and local governments in the ICIS Air database, which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. ICIS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government-owned facilities. EPA uses ICIS 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.

The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five years.

5(c) Small Entity Flexibility

A majority of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of these regulations. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the types of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small entities. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced.

Although these standards will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, we nonetheless have tried to minimize the impact of this rule on small entities in several ways during the development of this rule. First, we chose to set the control requirements at the MACT floor control level and not at a control level that is more stringent. Thus, the control level specified in the proposed OLD rule is the least stringent allowed by the CAA. Second, we have set facility size, transfer rack throughput, and tank size cutoffs in the rule to minimize the effects on small businesses. Third, we have identified a list of 69 HAP from the list of 188 in the CAA to be considered for regulation. Regulated liquids are organic liquids that contain at least 5 percent by weight of the 69 HAP listed. In addition, we worked with various trade associations during the development of the rule. These actions have reduced the economic impact on small entities from this rule.

5(d) Collection Schedule

The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline) Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal).

.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this ICR. 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 neither conduct nor 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 average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 115,000 hours (Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously-approved ICR, and any comments received.

6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs

(i) Estimating Labor Costs

This ICR uses the following labor rates:

Managerial $138.43 ($65.92+ 110%)

Technical $106.45 ($50.69 + 110%)

Clerical $52.77 ($25.13 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2015, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

The type of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standards are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are one-time costs when a facility becomes subject to these regulations. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor(s) and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

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

The capital costs associated with monitoring equipment for storage tanks and transfer racks include the monitoring equipment, installation, ancillary costs (planning and selection), and a data acquisition system (DAS) (data logger, computer, logging and reporting software, and printer). The capital costs for the monitoring equipment were estimated based on the following assumptions: (1) the monitoring equipment cost per facility with transfer racks is $12,150, which includes the cost for thermocouple, wire, and DAS; (2) the monitoring equipment cost for each facility with storage tanks with separate emission controls is $780, which includes the cost for thermocouple and wire to connect to the DAS for transfer racks; and (3) the monitoring equipment has a 5-year expected life and is not capitalized, so no discount rate applies. The annual average capital cost for monitoring equipment for transfer racks per facility is $12,500 divided by 5, or $2,500 per year. The annual average capital cost for monitoring equipment for storage tanks per facility is $780 divided by 5, or $156 per year.

The capital costs associated with monitoring equipment for leak detection and repair (LDAR) include the cost of the purchase of an organic volatile analyzer (OVA). The estimated average cost of OVA is $7,000 with a five-year expected life. The equipment is not capitalized, so no discount rate applies. The average annual cost is $7,000 divided by 5 years or $1,400 per year.

Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs include those costs associated with the general upkeep of capital equipment, such as monitoring equipment. The O&M cost associated with the monitoring equipment is $15,875 for transfer racks and $5,825 for storage tanks, per respondent. For LDAR monitoring, the operation of the monitors is included in the monitoring costs. Maintenance costs on these units are incidental; therefore, no maintenance or operation costs are incurred.

Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs
(A) Continuous Monitoring Device	(B) Capital/Startup Cost for One Respondent	(C) Number of New Respondents	(D) Total Capital/Startup Cost, (B X C)	(E) Annual O&M Costs for One Respondent	(F) Number of Respondents with O&M	(G) Total O&M, (E X F)
Transfer rack –thermo-couple, DAS, wire1	$2,500	319	$797,500	$15,875	319	$5,064,125
Storage Tank thermocouple, wire1	$156	319	$49,764	$5,825	319	$1,858,175
LDAR2	$1,400	564	$789,600	N/A	N/A	N/A
Total3			$1,640,000			$6,920,000

¹ It is estimated that two new facilities will purchase transfer rack equipment and that two additional new facilities will purchase storage tank equipment in each of the three years covered by this ICR. There are 317 out of the 381 existing respondents that will have transfer rack equipment and storage tank equipment. Therefore, the total number of respondents is 319.

² ,503ng the development of this ruleith the latest labor rates22181 existing sources and 6 new sources will have LDAR programs. Fifty percent of the sources with LDAR programs will purchase a monitor for use in-house, and the rest will contract out the practice. Those facilities which contract out (91 existing facilities and 3 new facilities) will purchase one unit as backup; the remaining facilities performing LDAR in-house (91 existing facilities and 3 new facilities) will purchase 5 units to support the program, for a total of 546 and 18 units purchased for existing and new facilities, respectively. The total number of units combined is 564.

³ Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are $1,640,000. This is the total of column D in the above table.

The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $6,920,000. This is the total of column G.

The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $8,560,000. These are recordkeeping costs.

6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

The only costs to the Agency are those costs 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, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information.

The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $489,000.

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

Managerial $64.16 (GS-13, Step 5, $40.10 + 60%)

Technical $47.62 (GS-12, Step 1, $29.76 + 60%)

Clerical $25.76 (GS-6, Step 3, $16.10 + 60%)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2016 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline) Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal).

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

Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three years, approximately 381 existing respondents will be subject to these standards. It is estimated that an additional 12 respondents per year will become subject to these same standards, and 12 existing respondents will either close or cease to be become subject to these regulations. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 381 per year. Among the 381 respondents, 64 sources will only incur minimal recordkeeping burden and have no reporting requirement, because they are not required to install control equipment and have no other on-going requirement beyond an initial notification.

The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

Number of Respondents
	Respondents That Submit Reports		Respondents That Do Not Submit Any Reports
Year	(A) Number of New Respondents 1	(B) Number of Existing Respondents	(C) Number of Existing Respondents that keep records but do not submit reports	(D) Number of Existing Respondents That Are No Longer Subject	(E) Number of Respondents (E=A+B+C-D)
1	12	381	0	12	381
2	12	381	0	12	381
3	12	381	0	12	381
Average	12	381	0	12	381

¹ New respondents include sources with constructed, reconstructed and modified affected facilities.

Column D is subtracted to avoid double-counting respondents. As shown above, the average Number of Respondents over the three year period of this ICR is 381.

The total number of annual responses per year is calculated using the following table:

Total Annual Responses
(A) Information Collection Activity	(B) Number of Respondents	(C) Number of Responses	(D) Number of Existing Respondents That Keep Records But Do Not Submit Reports	(E) Total Annual Responses E=(BxC)+D
Initial Notification	12	1	N/A	12
Notification of Performance Test	3	1	N/A	3
Notification of Compliance Status	12	1	N/A	12
Semiannual Report	317	2	64	698
Notification of Construction/Reconstruction	12	1	N/A	12
Notification of Actual Startup	12	1	N/A	12
			Total	749

Note: We assume 12 new sources and 381 existing sources per year. Of the new sources, we assume 25 percent (12 x 25% = 3) have to install control and conduct initial performance test. Of the existing sources, 64 sources do not have on-going reporting requirement, and only 317 sources have to submit semiannual reports.

The number of Total Annual Responses is 749.

The total annual labor costs are $11,900,000. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline) Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal).

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 shown below in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, and summarized below.

(i) Respondent Tally

The total annual labor hours are 115,000. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline) Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal).

We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens are assumed to take 10% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies and maintain records.

Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 154 hours per response.

The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $8,560,000. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.

(ii) The Agency Tally

The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 10,500 labor hours at a cost of $489,000. See below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline) Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal).

We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens are assumed to take 10% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies and maintain records.

6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden

There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because this ICR assumes all respondents must familiarize themselves with the regulatory requirements each year.

There is a small adjustment increase in the total estimated capital and O&M costs as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in capital and O&M cost estimates occurred because this ICR rounds to three significant figures.

6(g) Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 154 hours per response. “Burden” means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency.

Assumptions:

^a We assume 381 existing sources and 12 new sources per year that are subject to this rule. Additionally, we expect that 12 existing sources will either close or no longer become subject, and that the total number of respondents remain at 381 each year.

^b Assume a technical labor rate of $106.45, managerial rate $138.43, and clerical rate of $52.77 from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2015, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry group.” The rates are from column 1: Total compensation. The wage rate obtained from the table has been increased by 110 percent.

^c We assume all sources will have to familiarize with regulatory requirements each year.

^d One-time activity for new sources only. Growth rate assumed to be 3 percent (or 12 new sources per year).

^e Required of all affected facilities. Of the 381 facilities, 64 have minimal tasks to do and are assigned a burden of 1 hour total, the annualized number of respondents per year actively engaged in the detection and correction of pollution problems is effectively (381 - 64 = 317). All 317 of the affected facilities have storage tanks. 188 of the affected facilities have transfer racks. 181 existing facilities and 6 new facilities have LDAR programs.

^f Estimates do not include facilities that already operate an LDAR program.

^g Only includes facilities installing a new control device as a result of OLD NESHAP (25 percent of sources).

^h Estimate includes test plan, test report, and parametric monitoring setup. Assumes no facilities will use methods 18 or 25A. Based on comments received from Dow, we estimates approximately 80 hours to prepare each semiannual report. This is based on 4 hours to gather data for each of 20 process areas with organic liquid distribution.

ⁱ Assumes that 15% of all performance tests need to be repeated.

^j Assumes that this method will only be used to determine the percent of HAP in organic liquids.

^k Assumes that only for-hire terminals and bulk gasoline terminals will require Method 311 testing of organic liquids.

^l Assumes that 12 facilities per year would be subject to construction/reconstruction/actual startup provision.

^m Assumes that 1/2 percent of the approximately 15,000 tank trucks carrying organic liquids would undergo Method 27 testing on an annual basis.

ⁿ Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
