    Title: NESHAP for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR part 63, subpart CC) 
(Renewal).
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) From Petroleum Refineries, published at 40 CFR part 
63, subpart CC, were proposed on July 15, 1994, and promulgated on 
August 18, 1995. These regulations apply to the following existing and 
new petroleum refining process units and emission points located at 
refineries that are major sources of HAPs: miscellaneous process vents, 
storage vessels, wastewater streams and treatment operations, equipment 
leaks, gasoline loading racks, and marine vessel loading operations. 
These regulations also apply to storage vessels and equipment leaks 
associated with bulk gasoline terminals or pipeline breakout stations 
that are related to an affected petroleum refinery. 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 63, subpart CC.
    Respondents are required to submit one-time reports of start of 
construction, anticipated and actual start-up dates, and physical or 
operational changes to existing facilities. In addition, respondents 
must submit three types of reports: (1) Notification of Compliance 
Status, (2) Periodic Reports, and (3) Other event triggered reports. 
The Notification of Compliance Status is submitted to provide the 
information necessary to demonstrate that compliance has been achieved. 
The Periodic Reports provide information on monitored control device 
parameters when they are outside of established ranges and information 
on instances where inspections revealed problems. In addition, 
respondents are required to comply with the recordkeeping and reporting 
requirements contained in the following rules: either 40 CFR part 61, 
subpart VV or 40 CFR part 63, subpart H for equipment leaks (which 
include an initial report and semiannual summaries of leak detection 
and repair); 40 CFR part 61, subpart FF for wastewater operations; 
portions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart R for gasoline loading racks; and 
40 CFR part 63, subpart Y for marine tank vessel loading operations. 
All records are to be maintained at the facility for at least 5 years.
    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, and are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 839 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,

[[Page 76468]]

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: Petroleum refineries that are major 
sources of HAP emissions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 134.
    Frequency of Response: Annual, Semiannual, On Occasion, Quarterly.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 410,054 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $26,163,236, which includes $0 annual 
capital/startup costs, $0 annual O&M costs, and $26,163,236 annual 
labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 59,376 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This adjustment decrease in burden is due to 
several factors, including: a decrease in the number of respondents, 
the removal of capital/startup costs resulting from performance tests, 
and revisions to the approach to calculating costs for newly subject 
facilities.
