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.
Dated: November 17, 2005.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
