SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), ``NESHAP for Benzene Emission 
From Benzene Storage Vessels and Coke By-Product Recovery Plants (40 
CFR part 61, subparts L and Y) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 1080.14, OMB 
Control No. 2060-0185), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 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.

    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, and to the 
provisions at 40 CFR part 61, subparts L and Y. Owners or operators of 
the affected facilities must submit a one-time-only report of any 
physical or operational changes, initial performance tests, and 
periodic reports and results. 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. Reports 
are required quarterly or semiannually at a minimum.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of benzene 
storage vessels and coke by-product recovery plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, 
subparts L and Y).
    Estimated number of respondents: 21 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannually and occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 3,193 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $312,347 (per year), which also includes no 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR. This increase is not due to any program 
changes; it is the result of adding the labor burden associated with 
subpart Y. The most-recently approved ICR only reflected the burden 
associated with subpart L, while this ICR reflects the total burden 
associated with subparts L and Y.
    For subpart L, note that the labor burden between this ICR and the 
most-recently approved ICR is virtually identical (there is a one-hour 
increase, but it is due to differences in rounding). There is an 
increase in Respondent and Agency burden costs, however. This increase 
is due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR references labor 
rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate respondent 
burden costs and references labor rates from OPM to calculate Agency 
burden costs.
