Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the regulations published at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart K were proposed on June 11, 1973, and promulgated on March 8, 1974. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that store petroleum liquids in storage vessels with a storage capacity greater than 151,416 liters (40,000 gallons), including: storage vessels with capacity greater than 151,416 liters (40,000 gallons), but not exceeding 246,052 liters (65,000 gallons). New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart K. 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.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. The previously approved ICRs (1797.08, 1797.07) relied on information from the 2011 Petroleum Refinery ICR for estimates of facilities with storage tanks subject to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart K, which was the best source of information at that time. However, this ICR updates the number of facilities based on data from EPA's ECHO database, which tracks a total of 281 refineries, terminals, and other facilities that report information under 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart K. This estimate is a more-recent estimate of affected sources and is similar to those estimates conducted in prior ICRs (e.g., 1797.06) and reflects the Agency's best knowledge of actual subject entities. However, we expect this number may be lower as facilities that modify tanks initially subject to subpart K would become subject to other regulations, e.g., 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Kb. Finally, there is no change in both capital/startup and O&M costs compared to the prior ICR renewal.
