Abstract: This ICR reflects the combined burden of NSPS OOOOa if both the 2018 NSPS OOOOa Reconsideration Proposal amendments and the 2019 NSPS OOOOa EO 13783 Review Proposal Amendments are Finalized. The 2018 NSPS OOOOa Reconsideration Proposal addresses issues raised in petitions and provide clarity, streamlining and alignment of requirements leading to an overall burden reduction to the regulated community. The 2019 NSPS OOOOa EO 13783 Review Proposal Amendments would remove sources in the transmission and storage segment from the source category and will lead to a reduction in the recordkeeping and reporting burden due to eliminating requirements for these sources. The information collected will be used by EPA and delegated state and local agencies to determine the compliance status of sources in production and processing still subject to the rule.
