    Title: NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Bulk Terminals, Bulk 
Plants, Pipeline Facilities and Gasoline Dispensing Facilities 
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2237.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0620.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 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 the EPA 
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Gasoline Distribution Bulk Terminals, Bulk 
Plants, Pipeline Facilities and Gasoline Dispensing Facilities was 
published on January 10, 2008 (73 FR 1916), and amended on January 24, 
2011 (76 FR 4156). Potential respondents are owners or operators of any 
existing or new gasoline distribution facilities that are an area 
source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions.
    In addition to the initial notification and notification of 
compliance status required by the General Provisions to 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart A, respondents are required to submit one-time reports of start 
of construction, anticipated and actual startup dates, and physical or 
operational changes to existing facilities. Reports of initial 
performance tests on control devices at gasoline distribution storage 
tanks, loading racks, and vapor balance systems are also required and 
are necessary to show that the installed control devices are meeting 
the emission limitations required by the NESHAP. Annual reports of 
storage tank inspections at all affected facilities are required. In 
addition, respondents must submit semiannual compliance and continuous 
monitoring system performance reports, and semiannual reports of 
equipment leaks not repaired within 15 days or loadings of cargo tanks 
for which vapor tightness documentation is not available.
    All records are to be maintained for at least five years. All 
reports are to be submitted to the respondent's State or local agency, 
whichever has been delegated enforcement authority by the EPA. The 
information is to be used to determine whether all sources subject to 
the NESHAP are achieving the standards.
    This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 
CFR part 63, subpart BBBBBB and CCCCCC, 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.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for

[[Page 81496]]

this collection of information is estimated to average 8 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 
which 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: Gasoline Distribution Bulk 
Terminals, Bulk Plants, and Pipeline Facilities; and Gasoline 
Dispensing Facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 19,120.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 60,517 hrs.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $6,178,409 which includes $6,068,409 
in labor costs, $0 capital/startup costs, and $110,000 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the labor hours in 
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. A large percentage of affected 
facilities are already complying with this rule as a result of their 
compliance with applicable State and local rules. We have minimized or 
eliminated the reporting and recordkeeping requirements under this rule 
for most of those sources. There are no new or reconstructed facilities 
expected within the larger, bulk segment of the industry and new 
gasoline dispensing facilities are expected to be subject to NESHAP 
subparts BBBBBB and CCCCCC rules. Thus, we have developed this ICR with 
the expectation that only existing sources will be subject to the 
reporting and recordkeeping requirements of the rule.
