Abstract: Owners and operators of petroleum refineries are required
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the
General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), as well as for the
applicable specific standards in 40 CFR part 60 subpart J. This
includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests and
periodic reports and results, and maintaining 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 reports are used by EPA to determine
compliance with these standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Petroleum refineries.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart J).
Estimated number of respondents: 130 (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 13,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $2,450,000 (per year), which includes
$809,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This is due to a decrease in the number of
respondents subject to Subpart J. The estimated number of respondents
is based on EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO)
database, data collected per the Agency's industry analysis in its
recent 2018 and 2020 rulemakings and confirmed through industry
consultations. The regulations have not changed over the past three
years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. The
growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent. Since there
are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no
significant industry growth, there are no changes in the capital/
startup costs. There is a decrease in operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs due to a decrease in the number of respondents with these costs.
O&M costs have been updated from 2005 to 2019 using the CEPCI Index.
Courtney Kerwin,
Director, Regulatory Support Division.
