ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1136.09, OMB Control Number 2060– 0172. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2007. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 57935 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 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Petroleum Refinery Wastewater Systems were proposed on May 4, 1987, and promulgated on November 23, 1988. These standards apply to the following facilities in petroleum refinery wastewater systems: Individual drain systems, oil-water separators, and aggregate facilities commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. An individual drain system consists of all process drains connected to the first downstream junction box. An oil-water separator is the wastewater treatment equipment used to separate oil from water. An aggregate facility is an individual drain system together with ancillary downstream sewer lines and oil-water separators, down to and including the secondary oil-water separator, as applicable. Aggregate facilities are intended to capture any potential volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions within the petroleum refinery wastewater system during expansions of and additions to the system. There are no additional recordkeeping or reporting requirements for aggregate facilities. This information is being collected to determine compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQ. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators 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 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, E:\FR\FM\11OCN1.SGM 11OCN1 rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES 57936 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 196 / Thursday, October 11, 2007 / Notices 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 60, subpart QQQ, 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 34 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: Petroleum refinery wastewater systems. Estimated Number of Respondents: 135. Frequency of Response: Initially, on occasion, quarterly, and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 9,237. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $840,360, which includes $0 annualized capital Start Up costs, $17,550 annualized Operating and Maintenance costs (O&M), and $822,810 annualized Labor costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:09 Oct 10, 2007 Jkt 214001 industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall labor hours. There is however, a change in the cost estimate. The previous ICR used a cost figure that was rounded-up ($18,000). This ICR uses the exact cost figure ($17,550) resulting in a small cost decrease. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is not significant industry growth, the labor hours in the previous ICR are used in this ICR and there is no change in the labor hours to industry.

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

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 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Petroleum 
Refinery Wastewater Systems were proposed on May 4, 1987, and 
promulgated on November 23, 1988. These standards apply to the 
following facilities in petroleum refinery wastewater systems: 
Individual drain systems, oil-water separators, and aggregate 
facilities commencing construction, modification or reconstruction 
after the date of proposal. An individual drain system consists of all 
process drains connected to the first downstream junction box. An oil-
water separator is the wastewater treatment equipment used to separate 
oil from water. An aggregate facility is an individual drain system 
together with ancillary downstream sewer lines and oil-water 
separators, down to and including the secondary oil-water separator, as 
applicable. Aggregate facilities are intended to capture any potential 
volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions within the petroleum refinery 
wastewater system during expansions of and additions to the system. 
There are no additional recordkeeping or reporting requirements for 
aggregate facilities. This information is being collected to determine 
compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQ.
    In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, 
performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators 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 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. 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 60, subpart QQQ, 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 34 
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: Petroleum refinery wastewater 
systems.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 135.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, on occasion, quarterly, and 
semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 9,237.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $840,360, which includes $0 annualized 
capital Start Up costs, $17,550 annualized Operating and Maintenance 
costs (O&M), and $822,810 annualized Labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours 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 labor 
hours.
    There is however, a change in the cost estimate. The previous ICR 
used a cost figure that was rounded-up ($18,000). This ICR uses the 
exact cost figure ($17,550) resulting in a small cost decrease.
    Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there 
is not significant industry growth, the labor hours in the previous ICR 
are used in this ICR and there is no change in the labor hours to 
industry.
