SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
    Title: Standards of Performance for Storage Vessels for Petroleum 
Liquids for Which Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification 
Commenced After May 18, 1978 and Prior to July 23, 1984, EPA ICR Number 
1050.07 and OMB Control Number 2060-0121 expiring on June 30, 2001. 
This is a request for extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from storage vessels 
cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated 
to endanger public health. VOC emissions are the result of evaporation 
of volatile organic liquids contained in the storage vessels. The 
control of VOCs requires not only the installation of properly designed 
equipment, but also the maintenance and operation of that equipment. 
Information generated by the recordkeeping and reporting requirements 
is used by the Agency to ensure that facilities affected by this New 
Source Performance Standards (NSPS) continue to operate the control 
equipment properly, thereby minimizing VOCs emissions into the 
atmosphere. Responses to the collection of information are required to 
assure the control equipment is operated and maintained properly. 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 
are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The Federal Register 
document required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on this 
collection of information was published on December 22, 2000, 65 FR 
80854; no comments were received.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and record keeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 75 
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; 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: Predominately Petroleum Synthetic 
Organic Manufacturing.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 157.
    Frequency of Response: Annually and varies.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 39,139.
    Estimated Total Annualized Capital, O&M Cost Burden: 0.
    Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the 
accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods 
for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques to the addresses listed above. Please 
refer to EPA ICR Number 1050.07 and OMB Control Number 2060-0121 in any 
correspondence.
