Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Equipment Leaks of VOC in Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart GGG) were proposed on January 4, 1983; promulgated on May 30, 1984; amended on November 16, 2007 (to add the regulations published at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart GGGa); and most-recently amended on June 2, 2008. The standards at Subpart GGG apply to compressors, valves, pumps, pressure relief devices, sampling connection systems, open-ended valves or lines, and flanges or other connectors in VOC service at petroleum refineries that commenced construction, reconstruction, or modification after January 4, 1983, and on or before November 7, 2006. The standards at Subpart GGGa apply to compressors, valves, pumps, pressure relief devices, sampling connection systems, open-ended valves or lines, and flanges or other connectors in VOC service at petroleum refineries that commence construction, reconstruction, or modification after November 7, 2006. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subparts GGG and GGGa. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, 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.
