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

Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for Bulk
Gasoline Terminals were proposed on
December 17, 1980, promulgated on
August 18, 1983, and amended on
December 22, 1983. These standards
apply to the total of all loading racks at
bulk gasoline terminals that deliver
liquid product into gasoline tank trucks
and for which construction,
modification or reconstruction
commenced after the date of proposal. A
bulk gasoline terminal is any gasoline
facility that receives gasoline by
pipeline, ship or barge, and has a
gasoline throughput greater than 75,700
liters per day. The affected facility
includes the loading arms, pumps,
meters, shutoff valves, relief valves, and
other piping and valves necessary to fill
delivery tank trucks. Volatile organic
chemicals (VOCs) are the pollutants
regulated under this subpart.
Owners or operators of the affected
facilities, must make the following onetime-only reports: Notification of the
date of construction or reconstruction;
notification of the anticipated and
actual dates of startup; notification of
any physical or operational change to an
existing facility that may increase the
regulated pollutant emission rate;
notification of the date of the initial
performance test, and the results of the
initial performance test. 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 required, in general, of
all sources subject to NSPS.
Monitoring requirements specific to
bulk gasoline terminals are listed in 40
CFR 60.505. These requirements consist
of identifying and documenting vapor
tightness for each gasoline tank truck
that is loaded at the affected facility,
and notifying the owner or operator of
each tank truck that is not vapor-tight.
The owner or operator must also
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:11 Nov 05, 2008
Jkt 217001
perform a monthly visual inspection for
liquid or vapor leaks, and maintain
records of these inspections at the
facility.
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 XX, 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 listed in
40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15,
are identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information estimated
to average 329 hours per response.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose
and 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. All existing
ways will have to adjust to comply with
any previously applicable instructions
and requirements that 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: Bulk
gasoline terminals.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
40.
Frequency of Response: Initially and
occasionally.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
13,165.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$1,062,809 in Labor costs. There are no
annualized capital/startup or annual
Operations & Maintenance (O&M) costs
associated with this ICR.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the labor cost in this ICR
compared to the previous ICR. This is
due to two considerations: (1) The
regulations have not changed over the
past three years and not anticipated to
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
66039
change over the next three years; and (2)
the growth rate for the industry is very
low, negative or non-existent, so there is
no significant change in the overall
burden. However, there is a change in
the total labor hours of 3 hours less than
was in the previous ICR; this was due
to a calculation error. This ICR corrects
the error.
Since there are no changes in the
regulatory requirements and there is no
significant industry growth, the labor
hours and cost figures in the previous
ICR was used in this ICR, and there is
no change in burden to industry.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on January 31, 2009. 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
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
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills were
proposed on May 30, 1991 and
promulgated on March 12, 1996. These
standards apply to municipal solid
waste landfills for which construction,
modification or reconstruction
commences either on or after May 30,
1991. The rule requires the installation
of properly designed emission control
equipment, and the proper operation
and maintenance of this equipment.
These standards rely on the capture and
reduction of methane, carbon dioxide,
and non-methane organic gas compound
emissions by combustion devices
(boilers, internal combustion engines, or
flares).
Owners and operators of the affected
facilities described must make initial
reports when a source becomes subject
to the standards. Conduct and report on
performance tests, report on annual or
periodic emission rates, report on
design plans, report on equipment
removal and closure, as well as
maintain records of the reports, system
design and performance tests,
monitoring and exceedances, plot map,
and well locations.
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this part must maintain a
file of the applicable reporting and
recordkeeping requirements for at least
five years following the collection 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 WWW, as
authorized in sections 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

unless it displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. The OMB Control
Number for EPA’s regulations listed in
40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15,
are identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information estimated
to average 17 hours per response.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose
and 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. All existing
ways will have to adjust to comply with
any previously applicable instructions
and requirements that 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:
Municipal solid waste landfills.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
175.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
occasionally and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
3,548.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$2,133,921, which is comprised of
$2,113,271 in Labor costs, Operations &
Maintenance (O&M) costs of $20,650,
and no annualized capital costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the labor hours or cost in this
ICR compared to the previous ICR. This
is due to two considerations: (1) the
regulations have not changed over the
past three years and are not anticipating
any changes over the next three years;
and (2) the growth rate for the industry
is very low, negative or non-existent, so
there is no significant change in the
overall burden. It should be noted that
the previous ICR rounded the burden
cost up to the nearest one thousand. In
this ICR, the exact cost figure is reported
which results in an apparent decrease of
the (O&M) cost when, in fact, no
decrease has occurred.
Since there are no changes in the
regulatory requirements and there is no
significant industry growth, the labor

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a
petition has been received from the
State of New York requesting a
determination by the Regional
Administrator, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, that adequate
facilities for the safe and sanitary
removal and treatment of sewage from
all vessels are reasonably available for
Hempstead Harbor, Nassau County,
New York. The waters of the proposed
No Discharge Zone fall within the
jurisdictions of the Town of North
Hempstead, the Town of Oyster Bay, the
County of Nassau, the City of Glen Cove
and the Villages of Sea Cliff, Roslyn
Harbor, Roslyn, Flower Point and Sands
Point. These entities, through the New
York Department of State and the
Hempstead Harbor Protection
Committee prepared the application for
the designation of a Vessel Waste No
Discharge Zone, which was submitted
by the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation.
EPA published a Tentative
Affirmative Determination on July 15,
2008, in the Federal Register.
Public comments were solicited for 30
days and the comment period ended on
August 14, 2008. Comments were
received from three individuals, one
stating that EPA should not blame the
boaters for water quality problems, one
supporting the proposed NDZ and one
who finds that pumpout facilities are
sometimes inoperable and that fines
should be levied against the marinas
that cannot provide the pumpout
service on which our determinations are
based.
Regarding the first comment of
‘‘blaming the boaters,’’ Section 312(f)(3)
of the Clean Water Act allows States to
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:11 Nov 05, 2008
Jkt 217001
prohibit the discharge of sewage,
whether treated or untreated, from
vessels for the greater protection and
enhancement of water quality. EPA
determines whether adequate facilities,
for the safe and sanitary removal and
treatment of the sewage, are reasonably
available. We have found the facilities
in the proposed areas are reasonably
available and recommend finalizing our
determination. Regarding the third
comment, the Clean Water Act Section
312(f) does not provide for the
assessment of fines against marinas for
inoperable pumpouts. In the past, when
we have been made aware of inoperable
or inaccessible pumpouts we have
contacted the State agencies and
requested their assistance in resolution
of the matter. The situation has always
been resolved as expeditiously as
possible. EPA will continue to refer
complaints about non-operational
pumpouts to the appropriate State and
local authorities when such complaints
are received.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that a petition has been
received from the State of New York
requesting a determination by the
Regional Administrator, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency,
pursuant to section 312(f)(3) of Public
Law 92–500 as amended by Public Law
95–217 and Public Law 100–4, that
adequate facilities for the safe and
sanitary removal and treatment of
sewage from all vessels are reasonably
available for Hempstead Harbor and its
harbors and creeks within the following
boundaries: South of a line drawn from
Mott Point on the west side of the
harbor to a breakwater approximately
one-half mile north of Mosquito Cove on
the east side of the harbor (Lat 40°52′ N,
Long 73°40′ W) within the Villages of
Sea Cliff, Roslyn, Roslyn Harbor, Flower
Point and Sands Point and the City of
Glen Cove.
New York has provided
documentation indicating that the total
vessel population is estimated to be
1,350 in the proposed area. Five
pumpout facilities are operational in the
harbor, these facilities are Tappen
Marina, Bar Beach, Brewer’s Marina,
Sea Cliff Yacht Club, and Glen Cove
Yacht Club. In addition to these five
pumpout facilities, the Towns of North
Hempstead Harbor and Oyster Bay each
operate pumpout boats that serve the
harbor. Based upon the criteria cited in
the Clean Vessel Act and based upon
the vessel population, Hempstead
Harbor requires approximately three to
five pumpout facilities. The harbor has
seven facilities operational which
satisfies the criteria.

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1557.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0220.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2009.
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 Municipal
Solid Waste Landfills were proposed on May 30, 1991 and promulgated on
March 12, 1996. These standards apply to municipal solid waste
landfills for which construction, modification or reconstruction
commences either on or after May 30, 1991. The rule requires the
installation of properly designed emission control equipment, and the
proper operation and maintenance of this equipment. These standards
rely on the capture and reduction of methane, carbon dioxide, and non-
methane organic gas compound emissions by combustion devices (boilers,
internal combustion engines, or flares).
Owners and operators of the affected facilities described must make
initial reports when a source becomes subject to the standards. Conduct
and report on performance tests, report on annual or periodic emission
rates, report on design plans, report on equipment removal and closure,
as well as maintain records of the reports, system design and
performance tests, monitoring and exceedances, plot map, and well
locations.
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part must
maintain a file of the applicable reporting and recordkeeping
requirements for at least five years following the collection 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 WWW, as
authorized in sections 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 listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information estimated to average 17 hours
per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose and 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. All
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements that 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: Municipal solid waste landfills.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 175.
Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,548.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,133,921, which is comprised of
$2,113,271 in Labor costs, Operations & Maintenance (O&M) costs of
$20,650, and no annualized capital costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or
cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations: (1) the regulations have not changed over the past
three years and are not anticipating any changes over the next three
years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall
burden. It should be noted that the previous ICR rounded the burden
cost up to the nearest one thousand. In this ICR, the exact cost figure
is reported which results in an apparent decrease of the (O&M) cost
when, in fact, no decrease has occurred.
Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there
is no significant industry growth, the labor

hours and cost figures in the previous ICR was used in this ICR, and
there is no change in burden to industry.
