OMB 2060-0673

OMB 2060-0673

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Oil and Natural Gas Production and Natural Gas Transmission and Distribution (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOOO) apply to oil and natural gas facilities that commence construction, modification or reconstruction after August 23, 2011 and on or before September 19, 2015, that are involved in the extraction and production of oil and natural gas, as well as the processing, transmission, and distribution of natural gas. The June 2016 final rule established a new subpart (40 CFR 60, Subpart OOOOa) to set new standards for emissions of GHGs and VOCs for affected facilities in the crude oil and natural gas source category that commence construction, modification, or reconstruction after September 18, 2015. These amendments also included revisions to improve implementation of the NSPS subpart OOOO to address issues raised in administrative reconsideration petitions submitted on both the August 16, 2012 NSPS and the September 13, 2013 amendments. These implementation improvements did not change the requirements for operations and equipment covered by the current standards at subpart OOOO. The information collection requirements of the NSPS (40 CFR 60, Subpart OOOOa) and associated burden are addressed in EPA ICR Number 2523.02. 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
