    Abstract: Owners and operators of petroleum refinery wastewater 
systems are required to keep records of design and operating 
specifications of all equipment installed to comply with such standards 
such as water seals, roof seals, control devices, and other equipment. 
This information is necessary to ensure that equipment design and 
operation specifications are met, and the source is in compliance with 
NSPS subpart QQQ.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Petroleum refinery wastewater 
systems.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart QQQ)
    Estimated number of respondents: 135 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually
    Total estimated burden: 9,237 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $921,126 (per year), includes $17,550 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in 
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative 
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall 
burden. The increase in respondent and Agency costs from the most 
recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment in labor rates. This ICR 
uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to 
calculate burden costs.
