The EPA is proposing requirements for storage vessels including periodic inspections based on the type of storage vessel. This information will be collected to assure compliance with NSPS subpart Kc.
This ICR is for a new collection associated with the proposed rule, NSPS for Volatile Organic Liquid Storage Vessels (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Kc). This proposed rule includes inspection requirements for IFR and EFR storage vessels; monitoring requirements for closed vent systems; and electronic submittal of notifications, semiannual reports, performance tests, and performance evaluations. Burden estimates include review of the rule requirements, review of electronic reporting forms, and development of recordkeeping processes to ensure data needed to complete the reporting forms are collected in the proper format. Burden estimates also account for semiannual reporting requirements.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:

(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
