Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for the Petroleum Refineries:
Catalytic Cracking Units, Catalytic
Reforming Units, and Sulfur Recovery
Units apply to three types of affected
units at major source petroleum
refineries: Fluid catalytic cracking units
(FCCU) for catalyst regeneration,
catalytic reforming units (CRU), and
sulfur recovery units (SRU). The rule
also includes requirements for by-pass
lines associated with the three affected
units. Owners and operators of affected
units are required to comply with
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
reporting and record keeping
requirements for the General Provisions
(40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as
for the applicable standards in 40 CFR
part 63, subpart UUU. This includes
submitting initial notifications,
performance tests and periodic reports
and results, and maintaining records of
the operation of an affected facility.
These reports are used by EPA to
determine compliance with these
standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Petroleum refineries that operate
catalytic cracking units, catalytic
reforming units, and sulfur recovery
units.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63).
Estimated number of respondents:
142 (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 17,500 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $10,800,000 (per
year), includes $8,780,000 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is a
moderate decrease in burden in this ICR
compared to the previous ICR. The
decrease in the burden and cost
estimates occurred because refineries
are assumed to have implemented the
initial 2015 rule compliance activities
since the standard has been in effect for
more than three years. The previous ICR
reflected those burdens and costs
associated with the initial activities for
subject facilities. This includes
conducting performance test(s) and
establishing or revising recordkeeping
systems. This ICR, by in large, reflects
the on-going burden and costs for
existing facilities. Activities for existing
sources include 5-year performance
tests, continuous monitoring of
pollutants, and the submission of
semiannual reports. This ICR also
corrects the Agency burden from the
prior ICR to account for burden for
review of submitted RATA for units
using CEMS.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
