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

OMB Control Number: 2060-0318

EPA ICR Number: 1593.12

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 Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR part 264, subpart A and 40 CFR 265, Subpart A), as well as for the specific requirements at 40 CFR part 264, Subpart CC and 40 CFR part 265, Subpart CC. This includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and results, and maintaining 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 reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards 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).

Supporting Statement A

1. NEED AND AUTHORITY FOR THE COLLECTION

Explain the circumstances that make the collection of information necessary. Identify any legal or administrative requirements that necessitate 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. PRACTICAL UTILITY/USERS OF THE DATA

Indicate how, by whom, and for what purpose the information is to be used. Except for a new collection, indicate the actual use the agency has made of the information received from the current collection.

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. USE OF TECHNOLOGY

Describe whether, and to what extent, the collection of information involves the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses, and the basis for the decision for adopting this means of collection. Also describe any consideration of using information technology to reduce burden.

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 OMB Control No. 2050-0039 and is not included in this ICR.

4. EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY DUPLICATION

Describe efforts to identify duplication. Show specifically why any similar information already available cannot be used or modified for use for the purposes described in Item 2 above.

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.

5. MINIMIZING BURDEN ON SMALL BUSINESSES AND SMALL ENTITIES

If the collection of information impacts small businesses or other small entities, describe any methods used to minimize burden.

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.

6. CONSEQUENCES OF LESS FREQUENT COLLECTION

Describe the consequence to Federal program or policy activities if the collection is not conducted or is conducted less frequently, as well as any technical or legal obstacles to reducing burden.

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.

7. GENERAL GUIDELINES

Explain any special circumstances that require the collection to be conducted in a manner inconsistent with OMB guidelines.

These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.

8. PUBLIC COMMENT AND CONSULTATIONS

8a. Public Comment

If applicable, provide a copy and identify the date and page number of publication in the Federal Register of the Agency's notice, required by 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on the information collection prior to submission to OMB. Summarize public comments received in response to that notice and describe actions taken by the Agency in response to these comments. Specifically address comments received on cost and hour burden.

An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register (88 FR 85883) on December 11, 2023. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register for this renewal.

8. Consultations

Describe efforts to consult with persons outside the Agency to obtain their views on the availability of data, frequency of collection, the clarity of instructions and recordkeeping, disclosure, or reporting format (if any), and on the data elements to be recorded, disclosed, or reported. Consultation with representatives of those from whom information is to be obtained or those who must compile records should occur at least once every 3 years - even if the collection of information activity is the same as in prior periods. There may be circumstances that may preclude consultation in a specific situation. These circumstances should be explained.

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 and the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Association.

9. PAYMENTS OR GIFTS TO RESPONDENTS

Explain any decisions to provide payments or gifts to respondents, other than remuneration of contractors or grantees.

There are no payments or gifts associated with this collection of information.

10. ASSURANCE OF CONFIDENTIALITY

Describe any assurance of confidentiality provided to respondents and the basis for the assurance in statute, regulation, or Agency policy. If the collection requires a systems of records notice (SORN) or privacy impact assessment (PIA), those should be cited and described here.

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). EPA also will ensure that the information collection procedures comply with the Privacy Act of 1974 and the OMB Circular 108.

11. JUSTIFICATION FOR SENSITIVE QUESTIONS

Provide additional justification for any questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private. This justification should include the reasons why the Agency considers the questions necessary, the specific uses to be made of the information, the explanation to be given to persons from whom the information is requested, and any steps to be taken to obtain their consent.

The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in these standards do not include sensitive questions.

12. RESPONDENT BURDEN HOURS & LABOR COSTS

Provide estimates of the hour burden of the collection of information. The statement should:

• Indicate the number of respondents, frequency of response, annual hour burden, and an explanation of how the burden was estimated. Generally, estimates should not include burden hours for customary and usual business practices.

• If this request for approval covers more than one form, provide separate hour burden estimates for each form and the aggregate the hour burdens.

• Provide estimates of annualized cost to respondents for the hour burdens for collections of information, identifying and using appropriate wage rate categories. The cost of contracting out or paying outside parties for information collection activities should not be included here. Instead, this cost should be included as O&M costs under non-labor costs covered under question 13.

12a. Respondents/NAICS Codes

The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are facilities that treat, store, or dispose of RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste. The United States Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes for the respondents affected by the standards and the corresponding North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes are shown in the following table:

12c. Respondent Activities

XXXX

12d. Respondent Burden Hours and Labor Costs

The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 775,000 hours. The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Table 1 at the end of this document and summarized below.

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.

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.

The total annual labor costs are $111,000,000. 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).

13. Respondent CAPITAL AND O&m CostS

Provide an estimate for the total annual cost burden to respondents or record keepers resulting from the collection of information. (Do not include the cost of any hour burden already reflected on the burden worksheet).

The cost estimate should be split into two components: (a) a total capital and start-up cost

component (annualized over its expected useful life) and (b) a total operation and maintenance and purchase of services component. The estimates should consider costs associated with generating, maintaining, and disclosing or providing the information. Include descriptions of methods used to estimate major cost factors including system and technology acquisition, expected useful life of capital equipment, the discount rate(s), and the period over which costs will be incurred. Capital and start-up costs include, among other items, preparations for collecting information such as purchasing computers and software; monitoring, sampling, drilling, and testing equipment; and record storage facilities.

If cost estimates are expected to vary widely, agencies should present ranges of cost burdens and explain the reasons for the variance. The cost of purchasing or contracting out information collections services should be a part of this cost burden estimate.

Generally, estimates should not include purchases of equipment or services, or portions thereof, made: (1) prior to October 1, 1995, (2) to achieve regulatory compliance with requirements not associated with the information collection, (3) for reasons other than to provide information or keep records for the government, or (4) as part of customary and usual business or private practices.

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 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.

14. AGENCY COSTS

Provide estimates of annualized costs to the Federal government. Also, provide a description of the method used to estimate cost, which should include quantification of hours, operational expenses (such as equipment, overhead, printing, and support staff), and any other expense that would not have been incurred without this collection of information.

14a. Agency Activities

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.

14b. Agency Labor Cost

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

Managerial $73.46 (GS-13, Step 5, $45.91 × 1.6)

Technical $54.51 (GS-12, Step 1, $34.07 × 1.6)

Clerical $29.50 (GS-6, Step 3, $18.44 × 1.6)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2023 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).

The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 7,760 labor hours at a cost of $412,000; 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.

14c. Agency Non-Labor Costs

There are no non-labor costs for the Agency.

15. REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN

Explain the reasons for any program changes or adjustments reported in the burden or capital/O&M cost estimates.

There is no change in burden hours or O&M costs with this renewal. There is an increase in labor costs due to an increase in labor rates.

15. PUBLICATION OF DATA

For collections of information whose results will be published, outline plans for tabulation and publication. Address any complex analytical techniques that will be used. Provide the time schedule for the entire project, including beginning and ending dates of the collection of information, completion of report, publication dates, and other actions.

No results will be published.

15. DISPLAY OF EXPIRATION DATE

If seeking approval to not display the expiration date for OMB approval of the information collection, explain the reasons that display would be inappropriate.

EPA is not seeking approval to not display the expiration date for OMB approval on the information collection

15. CERTIFICATION STATEMENT

Explain each exception to the topics of the certification statement identified in “Certification for Paperwork Reduction Act Submissions.”

There are no exception to the topics of the certification statement.

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: $163.17 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $130.28 per hour for Technical labor, and $65.71 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2023, “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 $73.46 (GS-13, Step 5, $45.91 × 1.6), Technical rate of $54.51 (GS-12, Step 1, $34.07 × 1.6), and Clerical rate of $29.50 (GS-6, Step 3, $18.44 × 1.6). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2023 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 OMB Control No. 2050-0039 and are not included in this ICR.
