This ICR addresses information collection activities that will be imposed by proposed amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Organic Liquid Distribution (Non-Gasoline) (OLD), 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEE. As part of the residual risk and technology review for the NESHAP, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is revising requirements for storage tanks and flares and adding requirements for connector monitoring. The EPA is also proposing amendments to correct and clarify regulatory provisions related to emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM); and add requirements for electronic reporting of performance test results and reports and compliance reports; and add requirements and clarifications for periods of control device bypasses, including bypass lines. This information collection request documents the recordkeeping and reporting requirements and burden imposed by these proposed amendments only.
In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. This information collection request (ICR) includes the burden for all activities that will be conducted in the first three years following promulgation of the proposed amendments to the OLD standards. These activities include reading the rule, installing and maintaining monitors, and completing the recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
