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 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 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. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal

CROMERR establishes electronic reporting as an acceptable regulatory 
alternative to paper reporting and establishes requirements to assure 
that electronic documents are as legally dependable as their paper 
counterparts. Subpart D of CROMERR requires that state, tribal or local 
government agencies that receive, or wish to begin receiving, 
electronic reports under their EPA-authorized programs must apply to 
EPA for a revision or modification of those programs and obtain EPA 
approval. Subpart D provides standards for such approvals based on 
consideration of the electronic document receiving systems that the 
state, tribe, or local government will use to implement the electronic 
reporting. Additionally, Sec.  3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, 
subpart D provides special procedures for program revisions and 
modifications to allow electronic reporting, to be used at the option 
of the state, tribe or local government in place of procedures 
available under existing program-specific authorization regulations. An 
application submitted under the subpart D procedures must show that the 
state, tribe or local government has sufficient legal authority to 
implement the electronic reporting components of the programs covered 
by the application and will use electronic document receiving systems 
that meet the applicable subpart D requirements.

NDEP's request to revise its EPA-authorized program and, based on this 
review, EPA determined that the application, as revised, met the 
standards for approval of authorized program revision set out in 40 CFR 
part 3, subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of 
EPA's decision to approve Nevada's request to revise its Part 142--
