Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 22 / Wednesday, February 2, 2011 / Notices
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: EPA estimates 20,391
facilities on average to register for
electronic reporting to EPA or State/
Local authorized program electronic
document receiving systems each year,
with an average total of 67,902
employee registrants each year. EPA
estimates that 15 state agencies and 46
other local government jurisdictions
will submit CROMERR applications for
their electronic reporting programs each
year.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
48,292 hours for facilities and 14,717
hours for state and local authorized
programs.
Estimated total annual costs:
$5,401,250 for facilities and $4,868,889
for state and local authorized programs.
This includes an estimated burden cost
of $5,199,840 for facilities and $417,926
for state and local authorized programs,
and an estimated cost of $201,410 for
facilities and $4,450,963 for state and
local authorized programs for capital
investment or maintenance and
operational costs.

Are there changes in the estimates from
the last approval?
EPA does not expect a significant
change in the ICR renewal compared to
the previous ICR, as the basic
requirements are the same. There is an
adjustment in the labor cost estimates
due to the inflation of the labor rates
over the past three years. Also, EPA
expects the total estimated respondent
burden for state and local government
authorized programs identified in the
ICR currently approved by OMB, to
decrease over the next three year
because most authorized programs with
existing electronic document receiving
systems submitted CROMERR
applications to EPA, in compliance with
the January 13, 2010 regulatory
deadline. EPA expects a further
reduction in the total number of
respondents based on a decrease in the
number of affected facilities.
What is the next step in the process for
this ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2411.01,

ICR status: This ICR is for a new
information collection activity. 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 Code

appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9,

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: This information collection
is being conducted by EPA’s Office of
Air and Radiation (OAR) to assist the
EPA Administrator, as required by
sections 111(b), 112(d), and 112(f)(6) of
the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended,
to reevaluate emission standards for this
source category. The non-confidential
information from this information
collection request (ICR) would also be
made available to the public.
The proposed ICR has four
components. To obtain the information
necessary to identify and categorize all
units potentially affected by any future
revision to a standard, the first
component of this ICR will solicit
information from all potentially affected
units at all 152 refineries in the format
of an electronic survey under authority
of section 114 of the CAA. This survey
will include questions about the facility
and individual emissions sources, and it
will ask the owners/operators to submit
cost data and provide copies of recent
emissions test reports and continuous
emission monitoring system (CEMS)/
continuous monitoring system (CMS)
data. The second component will ask
the owners/operators to develop and
provide an emissions inventory. The
third component will ask the owners/
operators to conduct sampling and
analysis of the feed to the distillation
columns at their refinery over a specific
time period. The first three components
will be submitted to all facilities listed
in the Energy Information
Administration’s Refinery Capacity
Report 2009. The fourth component will
consist of requiring emissions testing,
again pursuant to the authority of
section 114 of the CAA.
EPA is issuing a single collection of
information for sources covered under
40 CFR part 63, subparts CC and UUU
and 40 CFR part 60, subpart J so that
EPA can, at one time, assess whether
additional control strategies are
necessary and, if so, which are the most
effective for hazardous air pollutants
(HAP), regulated under CAA section
112, and criteria air pollutants (such as
particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and
nitrogen oxide), regulated under CAA
section 111. The data would also allow
EPA to evaluate compliance options for
startup and shutdown periods and
consider ways to consolidate
monitoring, reporting and
recordkeeping requirements for the
different rules under review. The data
may also help EPA conduct reviews of
other rules specific to petroleum
VerDate Mar<15>2010

refineries, including Standards of
Performance for Equipment Leaks of
VOC in Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR
part 60, subpart GGG), Standards of
Performance for VOC Emissions from
Petroleum Refinery Wastewater Systems
(40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQ), and the
National Emission Standard for Benzene
Waste Operations (40 CFR part 61,
subpart FF).
The data collected will be used to
update and augment facility and
emissions source information already
available to the Agency, develop new
estimates of the population of affected
units, and identify the control measures
and alternative emission limits being
used for compliance with the existing
rules that are under review. This
information, along with existing
emission limits, will be used to
establish the baseline emissions and
control levels for purposes of the
regulatory reviews. The emissions test
data (test reports, CEMS data, and CMS
data) collected will be used to assess the
effectiveness of existing control
measures, examine variability in
emissions, evaluate the stringency of
existing emission limits, identify the
most effective control measures
considered for purposes of reducing
residual risk, and provide a basis for
estimating nationwide emissions from
emissions sources for which EPA has
little information. Emissions data will
also be used, along with process and
emissions unit details, to consider
options for best demonstrated
technology under the NSPS review, to
consider subcategories for further
regulation, and to estimate the
environmental and cost impacts
associated with any regulatory options
considered.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 256 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 use
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;

Respondents/Affected Entities:
Respondents affected by this action are
owners/operators of petroleum
refineries, all of which are expected to
have the potential to be subject to one
of the regulatory standards being
reviewed or developed by EPA.
Petroleum refineries are facilities
engaged in refining and producing
products made from crude oil or
