Title: NESHAP for Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1679.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0289.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2008. 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 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 National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations, (40 CFR
part 63, subpart Y), were proposed on May 13, 1994, and promulgated on
September 19, 1995.
These regulations apply maximum achievable control technology
(MACT) standards to existing facilities and new facilities that load
marine tank vessels with petroleum or gasoline and have aggregate
actual HAP emissions of 10 tons or more of HAP or 25 tons or more of
all HAP combined. These regulations also apply reasonably available
control technology (RACT) standards to such facilities with an annual
throughput of 10 million or more barrels of gasoline or 200 million or
more barrels of crude oil.
Owners or operators of marine tank vessel loading facilities
subject to the rule must maintain a file of these measurements, and
retain the file for at least five years following the date of such
measurements, maintenance reports, and records. 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 63, subpart Y and 40 CFR part 63, subpart
A, 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 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 12
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: Marine tank vessel loading
operations.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 804.
Frequency of Response: On occasion, semiannually and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 9,872.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $629,850. There are no annualized
capital/startup and annual O&M costs associated with this ICR.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or
cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three
years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall
burden.
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 are used in this ICR and there is no change in burden
to industry.
