information that the EPA will be

Abstract: Owners or operators of the
affected facilities described must make
one-time only notifications and 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. Monitoring
requirements specific to Equipment
Leaks of VOC in Petroleum Refineries
provide information on which
PO 00000

components are leaking VOCs. NSPS
subpart GGG references the compliance
requirements of NSPS subpart VV; and
NSPS subpart GGGa references the
compliance requirements of NSPS
subpart VVa. Periodically, owners or
operators are required to record
information identifying leaking
equipment, repair methods used to stop
the leaks, and dates of repair. The time
period for this recordkeeping varies and
depends on equipment type and leak
history. Semiannual reports are required
to measure compliance with the
standards of NSPS subparts VV and
VVa, as referenced by NSPS subparts
GGG and GGGa. These notifications,
reports, and records are essential in
determining compliance and in general,
are required of all sources subject to
NSPS. Any owner or operator subject to
the provisions of this part shall
maintain a file of these measurements,
and retain the file for at least two years
following the date of such
measurements, maintenance reports,
and records.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Petroleum Refineries.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subparts
GGG and GGGa).
Estimated number of respondents:
116 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and
semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 183,000
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $18,900,000 (per
year); there are neither annualized
capital/startup nor operation &
maintenance costs in this ICR.
Changes in the Estimates: The
increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR is due to
adjustments in Agency’s estimates. The
burden has increased due to more
accurate estimates for recording
operation parameters and semiannual
work practice reports. The most-recently
approved ICR underestimated the effort
required to record operating parameters
and develop semiannual reports.
Updated estimates for these burden
items increased the total respondent
burden for subpart GGG from 18,800 to
130,000 hours and for subpart GGGa
from 6,120 to 53,400 hours. This ICR
takes into account estimates provided
by consultations with industry trade
associations.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
