    Title: NESHAP for Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1679.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0289.
    ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on July 31, 2011. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in both 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and 
displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other 
appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or 
form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain-EPA 
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations were 
proposed on May 13, 1994, promulgated on September 19, 1995, and a 
proposed amendment on October 21, 2010 was promulgated on April 21, 
2011.
    These regulations apply maximum achievable control technology 
(MACT) standards to existing facilities and new facilities that load 
marine tank vessels with petroleum or gasoline and have aggregate 
actual Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) emissions of 10 tons or more of 
HAP, or 25 tons or more of all HAP combined. In addition, these 
regulations apply reasonably available control technology (RACT) 
standards to facilities with an annual throughput of 10 million or more 
barrels of gasoline or 200 million or more barrels of crude oil. This 
ICR also covers owners or operators of existing marine tank vessel 
loading operations (MTVLO) that emit less than 10 tons per year of each 
individual HAP, and less than 25 tons/year of all HAP combined, located 
at major sources of HAP that loads more than 1 million barrels/yr of 
gasoline, as well as owners or operators of existing off-shore 
terminals that load gasoline.
    Owners or operators of marine tank vessel loading facilities 
subject to the rule must maintain a file of these measurements, and 
retain the file for at least five years following the date of such 
measurements, maintenance reports, and records. 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. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart Y and 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
A, as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The 
required information consists of emissions data and other information 
that have been determined to be private.

[[Page 37347]]

    In order to ensure compliance with these standards, adequate 
reporting and recordkeeping are necessary. In the absence of such 
information, enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether 
the standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the 
Clean Air Act.
    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 purpose of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining, information, and disclosing and providing information. All 
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously 
applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently 
changed; 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: Marine tank vessel loading 
operations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 804.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, annually, and 
semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 9,872.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $926,209, which includes $926,209 in 
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and no operation and maintenance 
(O&M) costs.
    There is no increase in the number of affected facilities or the 
number of responses as compared to the previous ICR. There is, however, 
an increase in the estimated burden cost as currently identified in the 
OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change in burden cost is due to 
the use of a more recent labor rates.
