Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Storage Vessels for Petroleum Liquids for Which Construction, Reconstruction or Modification Commenced After June 11, 1973 and Prior to May 19, 1978 (EPA ICR Number 1797.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0442), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently-approved through June 30, 2022. Public comments were previously requested, via the Federal Register, on February 8, 2021, during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor 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 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Storage
Vessels for Petroleum Liquids for Which Construction, Reconstruction or
Modification Commenced After June 11, 1973 and Prior to May 19, 1978
(40 CFR part 60, subpart K) apply to existing facilities for which
construction, reconstruction, or modification commenced after June 11,
1973 and prior to May 19, 1978 that store petroleum liquids in storage
vessels with a storage capacity greater than 151,416 liters (40,000
gallons), including: storage vessels with capacity greater than 151,416
liters (40,000 gallons), but not exceeding 246,052 liters (65,000
gallons). In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities. They 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 essential in determining compliance and are required of all
affected facilities subject to NSPS.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of storage
vessels subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart K.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart K)
Estimated number of respondents: 281 (total).
Frequency of response: Occasionally.
Total estimated burden: 1,310 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $154,000 (per year), which includes $0 for
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. The previously approved
ICRs (1797.08, 1797.07) relied on information from the 2011 Petroleum
Refinery ICR for estimates of facilities with storage tanks subject to
40 CFR part 60, subpart K, which was the best source of information at
that time. However, this ICR updates the number
[[Page 38391]]
of facilities based on data from EPA's ECHO database, which tracks a
total of 281 refineries, terminals, and other facilities that report
information under 40 CFR part 60, subpart K. This estimate is a more-
recent estimate of affected sources and is similar to those estimates
conducted in prior ICRs (e.g., 1797.06) and reflects the Agency's best
knowledge of actual subject entities. However, we expect this number
may be lower as facilities that modify tanks initially subject to
subpart K would become subject to other regulations, e.g., 40 CFR part
60, subpart Kb. Finally, there is no change in both capital/startup and
O&M costs compared to the prior ICR renewal.
