NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX) (Renewal)


1. Identification of the Information Collection


1(a) Title of the Information Collection


NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 0664.12, OMB Control Number 2060-0006.


1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract


The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Bulk Gasoline Terminals were proposed December 17, 1980; promulgated on August 18, 1983; and amended on: December 22, 1983; February 12, 1999; and December 19, 2003. These regulations apply to the total of all loading racks at bulk gasoline terminals which deliver liquid product into gasoline tank trucks and for which construction, modification, or reconstruction commenced after the date of proposal. A bulk gasoline terminal is any gasoline facility which receives gasoline by pipeline, ship, or barge, and has a gasoline throughput greater than 75,700 liters per day. The affected facility includes the loading arms, pumps, meters, shutoff valves, relief valves, and other piping and valves necessary to fill delivery tank trucks. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. These standards set initial notification, initial performance test, and ongoing recordkeeping requirements. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX.


In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS.


Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file containing these documents, and retain the file for at least two 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.


There are approximately 40 bulk gasoline terminal facilities, which are owned and operated by the bulk gasoline terminal industry (aka: the “Affected Public”). None of the 40 facilities in the United States are owned by either state, local, tribal or the Federal government. They are all privately-owned, for-profit businesses. The “burden” to the Affected Public may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX) (Renewal). The Federal Government’s “burden” is attributed entirely to work performed by either Federal employees or government contractors and may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX) (Renewal). We assume that they will all respond to EPA requirements.


Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there is an average of one affected facility at each plant site and that each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site).


Over the next three years, approximately 40 respondents per year will be subject to these standards, and no additional respondents per year will become subject to these same standards.


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 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, to establish standards of performance for new stationary sources that reflect:


. . . application of the best technological system of continuous emissions reduction which (taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emissions reduction, or any non-air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator determines has been adequately demonstrated. Section 111(a)(l).


The Agency refers to this charge as selecting the best demonstrated technology (BDT). Section 111 also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards every eight years.


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, volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions from bulk gasoline terminals either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and/or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX.


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 the standards are being met. The performance test may also be observed.


The required monthly leak detection records 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 60, Subpart XX.


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 (82 FR 29552) on June 29, 2017. 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. Approximately 40 respondents will be subject to these same standards over the three-year period covered by this ICR.


Industry trade association(s) and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with these standards as they were being developed and these same standards have been reviewed previously to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. In developing this ICR, we contacted both the American Petroleum Institute (API), at (202) 682-8319, and the Oil Price Information Services (OPIS), at (877) 210-4287.


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.




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).


3(g) Sensitive Questions


The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions.


4. The Respondents and the Information Requested

Electronic Reporting


Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site.


(ii) Respondent Activities



Respondent Activities


Familiarization with the regulatory requirements.


Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CMS for opacity, or for pressure drop and liquid supply pressure for control device.


Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 2A, 2B, 21, 25A, 25B, and 27 tests, and repeat performance tests if necessary.


Write the notifications and reports listed above.


Enter information required to be recorded above.


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 disclosing and providing information.


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


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, and to note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The startup, shutdown, and malfunction records and leak detection records 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 two 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 the regulation. 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.


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 – NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX) (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 13,200 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 NSPS 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 $144.33 ($68.73+ 110%)

Technical $108.28 ($51.56 + 110%)

Clerical $53.34 ($25.40 + 110%)


These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2016, “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.


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


The only costs to the regulated industry resulting from information collection activities required by the subject standard are labor costs. There are no capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs.


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


The only type of industry costs associated with the information collection activity in the regulations are labor costs. There are no capital/startup or operation and maintenance 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 $0.


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

Managerial $64.80 (GS-13, Step 5, $40.50 + 60%)

Technical $48.08 (GS-12, Step 1, $30.05 + 60%)

Clerical $26.02 (GS-6, Step 3, $16.26 + 60%)


These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2017 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 – NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX) (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 40 existing respondents will be subject to these standards. It is estimated that no additional respondents per year will become subject to these same standards. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 40 per year.


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

The number of Total Annual Responses is 40.


The total annual labor costs are $1,390,000. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX) (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 in Tables 1 and 2 below, respectively, and summarized below.


(i) Respondent Tally


The total annual labor hours are 13,200 hours. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX) (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 330 hours per response.


The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $0. 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 0 labor hours at a cost of $0; see below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX) (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


The increase in burden from the most recently-approved ICR is due to an adjustment. This ICR assumes all existing affected sources will spend one hour per year to re-familiarize with the regulations. In addition, this ICR rounds the total estimated labor hours to three significant digits. These adjustments resulted in a small increase since the last renewal.


6(g) Burden Statement


The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 330 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. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and 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; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.


An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

Assumptions:

a We have assumed that there are approximately 40 respondents, with no additional new or reconstructed sources becoming subject to the rule over the next three years. We assume that each respondent will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year.

b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $144.03 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $108.28 per hour for Technical labor, and $53.34 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2016, Table 2. Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry groups. 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.

c We have assumed that it will take 60 hour for each respondent to perform initial performance tests. Since there are no new respondents estimated, these requirements do not apply.

d We have assumed that 20 percent of sources would have to repeat performance test due to failure.

e Monitoring of operations includes: implementation of Standards Operating Procedures (SOP) for operation and maintenance of control equipment; records of tank identification numbers and monthly leak detection inspection of control equipment.

f Semiannual reports are not required by this subpart.

g We have assumed that it will take 1.5 hours, fifty times per year, for each respondent to maintain SSM records.

h We have assumed that each respondent will take 0.1 hour or 6 minutes to enter each tank identification number, at an average of six tank truck loading each day for 350 days a year for an occurrence of 2,100 times per year (6 x 350 days per year = 2,100).

i We have assumed that each respondent will take 6 minutes to record leak detection information twelve times per year.

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

Assumptions:

a We have assumed that there are approximately 40 respondents, with no additional new or reconstructed sources becoming subject to the rule over the next three years.

b This cost is based on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $64.80 for Managerial, $48.08 for Technical and $26.02 Clerical. These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) "2017 General Schedule" which excludes locality rates of pay.
