Title: NESHAP for Organic Liquids Distribution (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1963.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0539.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2007.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other
[[Page 15689]]
appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63,
subpart EEEE were proposed on April 2, 2002 and promulgated on February
3, 2004. These regulations apply to the collection of activities and
equipment, at new and existing facilities, used to distribute organic
liquids into, out of, or within a major source plant site, that are not
subject to another 40 CFR part 63 rule. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEE.
In general, all NESHAP 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 NESHAP.
Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least
five years following the date of such measurements, 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 United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 114
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: New and existing facilities that
distribute organic liquids and are located at, or are part of, major
sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 381.
Frequency of Response: Initially, and semiannually on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 85,503.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $15,800,891, which is comprised of
$1,636,864 annualized Capital Startup Costs, $6,922,300 Operating and
Maintenance Costs (O&M) and $7,241,727 annualized Labor Costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 51,667 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease in burden from the most recently
approved ICR is due to adjustment(s). The decrease in burden from the
most recently approved ICR is primarily due to the fact that this is
the first ICR prepared after the compliance date. In the previous ICR,
annual burden hours and costs associated with one-time activities were
included for all existing sources as well as new sources. In this ICR,
existing sources have been phased into compliance and are subject to
on-going requirements, and only new sources are subject to various one-
time activities.
