Air Emission Standards for Tanks, Surface Impoundment and Containers (40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC, and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC) (Renewal)

1. Identification of the Information Collection

1(a) Title of the Information Collection

Air Emission Standards for Tanks, Surface Impoundment and Containers (40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC, and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 1593.11, OMB Control Number 2060-0318

1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

The Air Emission Standards for Tanks, Surface Impoundment and Containers (40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC) were: proposed on July 22, 1991; promulgated on December 6, 1994; and amended on November 25, 1996. These rules were amended most-recently on January 3, 2018 (83 FR 420).¹ These regulations apply to existing treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) that dispose of hazardous wastes in tanks, surface impoundments, and containers that are subject to Subparts I, J, or K of these parts, except for Sections 264.1, 265.1, and those management units identified at Sections 264.1080(b) and 265.1080(b). Also, the requirements of these Subparts apply to large quantity generators (LQGs) that manage hazardous wastes in either tanks or containers [Section 262.34(a)(1)(i and ii)]. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC, and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC.

These standards are applicable to TSDFs subject to the existing RCRA Subtitle C permitting requirements. These standards require organic emission control equipment to be used on permitted and interim-status TSDFs tanks, surface impoundments, and containers that manage hazardous waste with an average volatile organic concentration at the point of waste generation greater than, or equal to 500 parts per million by weight (ppmw) on a mass-weighted average basis. In addition, the recommended standards are applicable to hazardous waste generators accumulating hazardous wastes in tanks and containers pursuant to conditions specified in 40 CFR Part 262.34 (a). These units are exempt from RCRA Subtitle C permitting requirements provided the waste generator accumulates waste in the unit for no more than 90 days and complies with the control requirements specified in 40 CFR Part 265, Subparts I and J.

These standards are not applicable to certain waste management units. For example, the requirements of the Subpart CC standards do not apply to: 1) a tank, or surface impoundment in which an owner or operator stops adding hazardous waste and begins undergoing closure, or which is closed in accordance with existing RCRA regulations; 2) a container that has a design capacity less than 0.1 cubic meters (26.4 gallons); or 3) a tank, surface impoundment, or container that contains hazardous waste prior to the rule's effective date if no new hazardous waste is added to the unit on, or after, the effective date.

In general, all air emission 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 Air Emission Standards.

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

All TSDFs and large quantity generators (LQGs) facilities in the United States are owned and operated by the TSDF and LQG industry (aka: the “Affected Public”). None of the 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 inquiries. The “burden” to the Affected Public may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – Air Emission Standards for Tanks, Surface Impoundment and Containers (40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC, and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC) (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 – Air Emission Standards for Tanks, Surface Impoundment and Containers (40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC, and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC) (Renewal).

Over the next three years, approximately 6,760 respondents per year will be subject to these standards, and no additional respondents per year will become subject to these same standards. This estimate reflects an increase in the estimated number of respondents from the prior ICR, and is based on EPA ECHO data for TSDFs and LQGs subject to hazardous waste and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act requirements.

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

Organic air emissions from hazardous waste TSDFs can contain toxic chemical compounds. Cancer and other adverse non-cancerous human health effects can result from exposure to these emissions. Also, organic air emissions from TSDFs react photo-chemically with other compounds in the atmosphere to form ozone. Excessive ambient ozone concentrations are a major air quality problem in many cities throughout the United States. Nationwide organic air emissions from TSDFs are estimated to be approximately 1 million megagram per year.

In 1984, Congress passed the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) to the RCRA of 1976. Section 3004(n) of HSWA directs the EPA to promulgate regulations for the monitoring and control of air emissions from TSDFs as may be necessary to protect human health and the environment. Recommended standards have been developed by the EPA under the authority of Sections 3002 and 3004 of RCRA to reduce organic air emissions from certain TSDF tanks, surface impoundments, and containers, as well as for certain hazardous waste generator accumulation tanks.

The experience of the EPA in implementing and enforcing New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) promulgated under authority of the Clean Air Act has demonstrated that certain information must be collected to ensure compliance with air emission standards. Information collection is needed by the EPA for this rulemaking to determine: a) whether a hazardous waste contains sufficiently low concentrations of volatile organics to allow the waste to be managed in a tank, surface impoundment, or container without the use of emission controls; and b) for units requiring emission controls, whether the controls are being properly operated and maintained.

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.

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.

The collected information will be used by the EPA enforcement personnel to ensure that the requirements of the recommended rules are being properly applied and that emission control devices are being properly operated and maintained on a continuous basis. In addition, records and reports are necessary to enable the EPA to identify TSDF owners or operators that may not be operating in compliance with these standards. The reported information is used by the EPA to target TSDFs for inspection and identify what records, or waste management units should be inspected at the TSDF. The information that TSDF owners or operators are required to maintain is recorded in sufficient detail to enable owners or operators to demonstrate their means of complying with the applicable standards. The data collected by the affected facility is retained at the facility for a minimum of three years. In addition, the information collected from the recordkeeping and reporting requirements is of sufficient quality to be used as evidence in court.

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

The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC, and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC.

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 (85 FR 28003) on May 12, 2020. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register for this renewal.

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. A search of the Agency’s ECHO database of sources subject to hazardous waste and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act requirements found 637 TSDFs with an ICIS Air ID within the NAICS codes of “31-33” series and 6,123 LQGs with an ICIS Air ID within the NAICS codes of “31-33” series. Based on this information, the Agency has revised the estimate of respondents subject to the standard over the three-year period covered by this ICR to 6,760, which represents an increase of 551 from the previous ICR. 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 same standards have been reviewed previously to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. In developing this ICR, we contacted the American Chemistry Council, at (202) 293-8020, and the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Association, at (571) 348-5100.

It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal, as well as for 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 these standards do not include sensitive questions.

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. Additionally, the amendments to 40 CFR Part 264, Subpart E and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart E published on January 3, 2018 require facilities subject to 40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC to submit hazardous waste manifests electronically through EPA’s e-Manifest system and pay a user fee. The increase in burden is covered under ICR No. 0801.22 and is not included in this ICR.

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

5(a) Agency Activities

The 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 standard and 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 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. The EPA uses ICIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. The EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze this data.

The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for three 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 at the end of this document in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – Air Emission Standards for Tanks, Surface Impoundment and Containers (40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC, and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC) (Renewal).

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

Table 1 below documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for each of the subparts 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 775,000 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 RCRA 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 $148.45 ($70.69 + 110%)

Technical $121.46 ($57.84 + 110%)

Clerical $60.23 ($28.68 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2020, “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 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 monitors and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

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

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)
Organic emission control equipment	$0	$0	$0	$2,000	6,760	$13,520,000
Total a			$0			$13,500,000

^a 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 $0. This is the total of column D in the above table.

The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $13,500,000. 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 $13,500,000. These are the 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 such activities 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 $384,000.

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

Managerial $68.37 (GS-13, Step 5, $42.73 + 60%)

Technical $50.72 (GS-12, Step 1, $31.70 + 60%)

Clerical $27.46 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.16 + 60%)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2020 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to Federal government employees. Details upon which this estimate is based appear at the end of this document in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – Air Emission Standards for Tanks, Surface Impoundment and Containers (40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC, and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC) (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 6,760 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 6,760 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
Year	(A) Number of New Respondents a	(B) Number of Existing Respondents b	(C) Number of Existing Respondents that keep records but do not submit reports	(D) Number of Existing Respondents That Are Also New Respondents	(E) Number of Respondents (E=A+B+C-D)
1	0	2,132	4,628	0	6,760
2	0	2,132	4,628	0	6,760
3	0	2,132	4,628	0	6,760
Average	0	2,132	4,628	0	6,760

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

^b See the assumptions discussion below to determine the number of respondents that submit reports, including notifications, semiannual and other reports.

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 6,760.

Semiannual Reporting

It is assumed that 0.5 percent of control devices malfunction resulting in the need for a semiannual report. The Sistersville Plant XL project always reports semiannually.

0.5% of 6,760= 33.8, rounded to 34

34 + Sistersville Plant = 35 (Semiannual Reports)

Other Reports

For exceedances it is assumed that 1 percent of waste determination results in exceedance annually. This would result in the need for a report to EPA within 15 calendar days. Therefore, 1 percent of the regulated universe would submit a report to EPA within 15 calendar days, once per year. We also assumed that the Sisterville Plant XL project will submit an annual report.

(1% of 6,760 = 67.6, rounded to 68 (Report to EPA within 15 calendar days, once per year) + 1 annual report for the Sisterville Plant XL project = 69 (Other reports)).

Notification Reports

It is assumed that 10 percent of sources with internal floating roofs and 20 percent of sources with external floating roofs will require notifications annually. One facility notifies EPA that they will use the hydrogen peroxide management exemption (40 CFR 264.1080(d) and 40 CFR 265.1080(d)).

(10% of 6,760 = 676

20% of 6,760 = 1,352

676 + 1,352 + 1 facility using hydrogen peroxide exemption = 2,029 (Notification Reports))

Therefore, the total number of existing respondents that submit reports is 35 + 69 + 2,029 = 2,133.

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
Notification report for internal and external floating roof	2,028	1	0	2,028
Notification of hydrogen peroxide management exemption	1	1	0	1
Semiannual report	35	2	0	70
Annual exceedance report	68	1	0	68
Annual Sisterville Plant project report	1	1	0	1
Recordkeeping requirements	0	0	4,628	4,628
Total	2,132 a			6,796

^a In this total, the Sisterville plant is not counted twice.

As seen above, the number of Total Annual Responses is 6,796.

The total annual labor costs are $91,000,000. Details regarding these estimates may be found at the end of this document in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – Air Emission Standards for Tanks, Surface Impoundment and Containers (40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC, and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC) (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 at the end of this document, respectively, and summarized below.

(i) Respondent Tally

The total annual labor hours are 775,000 hours (rounded). Details regarding these estimates may be found at the end of this document in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – Air Emission Standards for Tanks, Surface Impoundment and Containers (40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC, and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC) (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 114 hours per response.

The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $13,500,000. The cost calculations are detailed above 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 7,760 labor hours at a cost of $384,000; see below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – Air Emission Standards for Tanks, Surface Impoundment and Containers (40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC, and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC) (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; these regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. The Agency estimate of the number of respondents has increased and there is an attendant increase in the cost of monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting. The increase in the estimated number of respondents is due to a re-examination of the Agency’s ECHO database of sources subject to hazardous waste and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act requirements.

6(g) Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 114 hours per response. ‘Burden’ means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information either 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 the average number of respondents that will be subject to this rule will be 6,760. There will be no new additional sources during the three year period of this ICR.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $148.45 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $121.46 per hour for Technical labor, and $60.23 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2020, “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.
c We have assumed that all of the respondents will familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year.
d We have assumed that only the Sistersville, WV Plant XL Project will be reporting.
e We have assumed that 0.5 percent of respondents will report control devices malfunction, resulting in exceedance annually (0.5% x 6,760 = 34), along with the Sistersville Plant XL project (1) always reports semiannually for a total of 34 + 1 = 35 semiannual reports.
f We have assumed that 1 percent of waste determination will result in exceedance annually (1% x 6,760 = 67.6, rounded to 68).
g We have assumed that only one facility currently uses the exemption regarding hydrogen peroxide management located at 40 CFR 264.1080(d) and 40 CFR 265.1080(d).
h We have assumed that 20 percent of the tank roofs will be inspected each year (external roof) (20% x 6,760 = 1,352).
i We have assumed that 10 percent of respondents will empty and refill a tank (internal floating roof) (10% x 6,760 = 676).
j We assume recordkeeping only for the Sistersville, WV Plant XL Project.
k We have assumed that it will take each respondent sixteen hours once per year to plan activities.
l We have assumed that 50 percent of respondent will be required on a daily basis to inspect and monitor each closed vent system (50% x 6,760 = 3,380).
m We have assumed that 20 percent of respondents will take 4 hours once every five years to complete the primary seal inspection. (20% x 6,760 = 1,352).
n We have assumed that 20 percent of tanks with alternative emission controls (floating roofs) will each take 4 hours 0.2 times per year, which equates to once every 5 years, to complete the primary seal inspection. (20% x 6,760 = 1,352).
o Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:
a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to this rule will be 6,760. There will be no new additional sources during the next three years of this ICR.
b The cost is based on the following labor rate which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses. Managerial rates of $68.37 (GS-13, Step 5, $42.73 × 1.6), Technical rate of $50.72 (GS-12, Step 1, $31.70 × 1.6), and Clerical rate of $27.46 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.16 × 1.6). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2020 General Schedule, which excludes locality, rates of pay.
c Annual responses assume 1 percent of waste determination results in an exceedance (1% x 6,760 = 67.6. rounded to 68).
d Semiannual responses assumes 0.5% of control devices malfunction resulting in an exceedance (0.5% x 6,760 = 34) plus the Sistersville, WV Plant. (34 + 1 = 35)
e We have assumed that 10 percent of internal floating roof respondents (10% x 6,760 = 676), plus 20% of external roof respondents (20% x 6,760 = 1,352), and one facility using hydrogen peroxide exemption (676 + 1,352 + 1 = 2,029) will submit notification reports.
f We have assumed that the Sisterville Plant will submit an annual project report.
g We have assumed that it will take respondents 8 hours once per year to review selected sites and review permit records.
h Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

1 The amendments to 40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC and 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart CC published on January 3, 2018 include new requirements under Section 264.1086 and Section 265.1087 for containers. The increase in burden (fees) are covered under ICR No. 0801.22 and are not included in this ICR.
