    Title: NSPS for Storage Vessels for Petroleum Liquids (Subpart Ka), 
EPA ICR #1050.05; OMB #2060-0121). This ICR requests renewal of the 
existing clearance.
    Abstract: This New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) regulates 
volatile emissions from petroleum liquid storage vessels. EPA will use 
the information to direct monitoring, inspection, and compliance 
efforts, thereby ensuring compliance with the NSPS. Owners and 
operators of all affected facilities must report to EPA any physical or 
operational change to their facility which may result in an increase in 
the regulated pollutant emission rate. All facilities must also 
maintain records on the facility operation that document: (1) The 
occurrence and duration of any start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions; 
(2) measurements of maximum true vapor pressure for each storage 
vessel; (3) period of storage for the petroleum liquid; (4) emissions 
data; (5) design specifications; and (6) an operation and maintenance 
plan for any vapor recovery and return or disposal system. In addition, 
owners and operators of facilities that use a floating roof must report 
any excessive gaps in tank seals, and notify the EPA when the seal gaps 
will be measured. These facilities must maintain records related to 
compliance for 2 years.
    Burden Statement: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 5 hours per response, including 
time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, 
gathering the data needed, and completing the collection of 
information. Public recordkeeping burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 113 hours per respondent.
    Respondents: Owners or operators of petroleum storage vessels with 
a storage capacity exceeding 40,000 gallons and which commenced 
construction, reconstruction, or modification after May 18, 1978 and 
prior to July 23,1984.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 180.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 21,500 hours.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    Send comments regarding the burden estimate, or any other aspect of 
this information collection, including suggestions for reducing the 
burden, to:
