    Title: NESHAP for Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations (Renewal).
    Abstract: This information collection request addresses Clean Air 
Act information collection requirements in standards published at 40 
CFR part 63, subpart Y, which have mandatory recordkeeping and 
reporting requirements. The information collected under these 
requirements concern compliance with emissions standards relating to 
loading of marine tank vessels with petroleum and gasoline. Records 
collected under the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) must be retained by the owner or operator for at 
least five years, so that the recorded can be shown to inspectors when 
requested. In general, the required collections consist of emissions 
data and other information deemed not to be private (40 CFR 63.15).
    Delegated states and EPA Regional Offices use the information 
collected under these requirements to determine compliance with the 
NESHAP. In the absence of such information collection requirements, 
enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether the 
standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the Clean 
Air Act.
    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 12 
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: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are marine tank vessel loading operations at marine 
terminals.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 804.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, Semi-annually, Annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 9,872 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $629,850 which includes $0 annualized 
capital/startup costs, $0 annual O&M costs, and $629,850 in Respondent 
Labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 18,259 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a change in the estimated 
number of facilities that submit reports from 105 to 38 and correction 
of the frequency of HAP control efficiency reports from quarterly to 
annually.
    Balancing these decreases are three sources of increase in burden. 
Recordkeeping burden for facilities that keep records but do not 
report, not considered in previous versions of the ICR, is included 
here at one hour for each of 766 facilities. Industry labor rates 
increased by an average of 16.7% from those in the active ICR. 
Calculated burden also increased by including managerial and clerical 
labor, which had not been included in the previous ICR.
