The EPA is finalizing revisions to the
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
from Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR part 63, subpart CC) as it
applies to existing and new petroleum refining process units and
emission points located at refineries that are major sources of
hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. Many of the final
revisions are technical corrections to the December 2015 amendments
to 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC to correct typographical errors or
incorrect cross-references and do not involve additional
information collection or burden. There is, however, a final
technical amendment that impacts the recordkeeping requirements in
40 CFR part 63, subpart CC for certain maintenance vents associated
with equipment containing less than 72 lbs VOC as found at
§63.655(i)(12)(iv). The new recordkeeping requirement requires
records used to estimate the total quantity of VOC in the equipment
and the type and size limits of equipment that contain less than 72
lb of VOC at the time of the maintenance vent opening. As specified
in §63.655(i)(12)(iv), additional records are required if the
deinventory procedures were not followed for each maintenance vent
opening or if the equipment opened exceeded the type and size
limits (i.e., 72 lb VOC). These additional records include
identification of the maintenance vent, the process units or
equipment associated with the maintenance vent, the date of
maintenance vent opening, and records used to estimate the total
quantity of VOC in the equipment at the time the maintenance vent
was opened to the atmosphere. These records will assist the EPA
with determining compliance with the standards set forth in
§63.643(c)(iv). They are expected to result in 16 hours and $1,640
of additional burden to respondents nationwide, and 8 hours and
$379 additional burden to the EPA. The new recordkeeping
requirement requires records used to estimate the total quantity of
VOC in the equipment and the type and size limits of equipment that
contain less than 72 lb of VOC at the time of the maintenance vent
opening. As specified in 63.655(i)(12)(iv), additional records are
required if the deinventory procedures were not followed for each
maintenance vent opening or if the equipment opened exceeded the
type and size limits (i.e., 72 lb VOC). These additional records
include identification of the maintenance vent, the process units
or equipment associated with the maintenance vent, the date of
maintenance vent opening, and records used to estimate the total
quantity of VOC in the equipment at the time the maintenance vent
was opened to the atmosphere. These records will assist the EPA
with determining compliance with the standards set forth in
63.643(c)(iv). They are expected to result in 16 hours and $1,640
of additional burden to respondents, and 8 hours and $379
additional burden to the EPA.
