Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Sewage Sludge Incineration Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart LLLL) were proposed on October 14, 2010, and promulgated on March 21, 2011. These regulations apply to new and existing facilities with one or more sewage sludge incineration (SSI) units. New facilities are those that commenced construction after October 14, 2010 or commenced modification after September 21, 2011. Physical or operational changes made to the SSI unit to comply with the SSI Emission Guidelines at 40 CFR part 60, subpart MMMM do not qualify as a modification under this NSPS. This information is E:\FR\FM\29APN1.SGM 29APN1 jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 83 / Wednesday, April 29, 2020 / Notices being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart LLLL. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/ operators of the affected facilities. They 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 affected facilities subject to NSPS. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of sewage sludge incineration units. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart LLLL). Estimated number of respondents: 8 (total). Frequency of response: Occasionally, semiannually, and annually. Total estimated burden: 1,560 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,070,000 (per year), which includes $998,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden from the most recently-approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens due to an increase in the number of respondents subject to the rule. While the per respondent costs of annual performance testing and CEMS/CPMS monitoring have remained the same, but the total O&M costs have increased from the previous ICR renewal due to the increase in the number of existing respondents complying with the requirements of the rule. Several revisions were made to the calculation of respondent burden. The labor burden for facilities to familiarize with regulation requirements was revised from 40 hours per existing source per year to 40 hours for a new source and 4 hours for an existing source. This change more accurately reflects the burden that new and existing sources require to familiarize and re-familiarize with the rule. The Number of Respondents that will complete the annual refresher course was revised from 1 to 7 to reflect that this is an annual requirement for VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:00 Apr 28, 2020 Jkt 250001 operators at existing sources, per 40 CFR 60.4825.

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for VOC Emissions from Petroleum Refinery Wastewater Systems (40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQ) were proposed on May 4, 1987, and promulgated on November 23, 1988. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new wastewater systems at petroleum refineries, and cover individual drain systems, oilwater separators, and aggregate facilities. 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 VOC emissions within the petroleum refinery wastewater system during expansions of and additions to the system. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQ. E:\FR\FM\29APN1.SGM 29APN1
