    Title: NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (Renewal).
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) were proposed 
on December 17, 1980 and promulgated on August 18, 1983, and amended on 
December 22, 1983. These standards apply to the total of all loading 
racks at bulk gasoline terminals that deliver liquid product into 
gasoline tank trucks and for which construction, modification or 
reconstruction commenced after the date of proposal. A bulk gasoline 
terminal is any gasoline facility that receives gasoline by pipeline, 
ship or barge, and has a gasoline throughput greater than 75,700 liters 
per day. The affected facility includes the loading arms, pumps, 
meters, shutoff valves, relief valves, and other piping and valves 
necessary to fill delivery tank trucks. Volatile organic chemicals 
(VOCs) are the pollutants regulated under this subpart.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make 
the following one-time-only reports: notification of the date of 
construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and 
actual dates of startup; notification of any physical or operational 
change to an existing facility that may increase the regulated 
pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the initial 
performance test; and the results of the initial performance test. 
Owners or operators 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 required, in general, of all sources subject to NSPS.
    Monitoring requirements specific to bulk gasoline terminals are 
listed in 40 CFR 60.505. These requirements consist of identifying and 
documenting vapor tightness for each gasoline tank truck that is loaded 
at the affected facility, and notifying the owner or operator of each 
tank truck that is not vapor-tight. The owner or operator must also 
perform a monthly visual inspection for liquid or vapor leaks, and 
maintain records of these inspections at the facility.
    This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 
CFR part 60, subpart XX. Any owner or operator subject to the 
provisions of this part will maintain a file of these records, and 
retain the file for at least two years following the date of such 
records. The reporting requirements for this industry currently include 
only the initial notifications and initial performance test report 
listed above. 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 EPA regional office.
    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 329 
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; to 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; to 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements; to train personnel to be

[[Page 71293]]

able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; 
to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit 
or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Bulk gasoline terminals with 
affected facilities including loading arms, pumps, meters, shutoff 
valves, relief valves, and other piping.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 40.
    Frequency of Response: Initially and on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,168 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $1,062,809, which includes $0 
annualized Capital expense/Startup costs, $0 annual Operation and 
Maintenance costs, and $1,062,809 Respondent Labor costs per year.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 1,748 hours in 
the total estimated industry burden currently identified in the OMB 
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
    This increase in labor burden is due to a correction of the 
frequency of recording leak detection inspection data from one 
occurrence per year to monthly occurrences as required by the rule and 
the inclusion of labor hours for the management and clerical employees. 
The total industry cost also increased from $631,983 to $1,062,809 as a 
result of these changes and the use of an updated technical labor rate.
