Title: NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0664.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0006.
ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on January 31, 2009.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is
[[Page 66039]]
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 40 CFR part 9, 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 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Bulk
Gasoline Terminals were proposed on December 17, 1980, 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, 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.
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 60, subpart XX, 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.
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 Number for EPA's
regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information 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 and 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. 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: Bulk gasoline terminals.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 40.
Frequency of Response: Initially and occasionally.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 13,165.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,062,809 in Labor costs. There are
no annualized capital/startup or annual Operations & Maintenance (O&M)
costs associated with this ICR.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor cost 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 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.
However, there is a change in the total labor hours of 3 hours less
than was in the previous ICR; this was due to a calculation error. This
ICR corrects the error.
Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there
is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in
the previous ICR was used in this ICR, and there is no change in burden
to industry.
