Abstract: The National Estuary Program (NEP) involves collecting information from the state or local agency or nongovernmental organizations that receive funds under Sec. 320 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The regulation requiring this information is found at 40 CFR part 35. Prospective grant recipients seek funding to develop or oversee and coordinate implementation of Comprehensive Conservation Management Plans (CCMPs) for estuaries of national significance. In order to receive funds, grantees must submit an annual workplan to EPA which are used to track performance of each of the 28 estuary programs currently in the NEP. EPA provides funding to NEPs to support long-term implementation of CCMPs if such programs pass a program evaluation process. The primary purpose of the program evaluation process is to help EPA determine whether the 28 programs included in the National Estuary Program (NEP) are making adequate progress implementing their CCMPs and therefore merit continued funding under Sec. 320 of the Clean Water Act. EPA also requests that each of the 28 NEPs receiving Sec. 320 funds report information that can be used in the GPRA reporting process. This reporting is done on an annual basis and is used to show environmental results that are being achieved within the overall National Estuary Program. This information is ultimately submitted to Congress along with GPRA information from other EPA programs. Form Numbers: None.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit (Section 320 of the Clean Water Act). Estimated number of respondents: 28 (total). Frequency of response: Annual. Total estimated burden: 5,360 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $319,724 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 240 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to program evaluations taking place for two out of the next three years, according to the evaluation cycle schedule in the current Program Evaluation Guidance.

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Equipment Leaks of VOC in Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR part 60, subpart GGG) were proposed on January 4, 1983; promulgated on May 30, 1984; amended on November 16, 2007 (to add the regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart GGGa); and most-recently amended on June 2, 2008. The standards at Subpart GGG apply to compressors, PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 46087 valves, pumps, pressure relief devices, sampling connection systems, openended valves or lines, and flanges or other connectors in VOC service at petroleum refineries that commenced construction, reconstruction, or modification after January 4, 1983, and on or before November 7, 2006. The standards at Subpart GGGa apply to compressors, valves, pumps, pressure relief devices, sampling connection systems, open-ended valves or lines, and flanges or other connectors in VOC service at petroleum refineries that commence construction, reconstruction, or modification after November 7, 2006. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subparts GGG and GGGa. 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: Petroleum refineries. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subparts GGG and GGGa). Estimated number of respondents: 116 (total) are subject to Subpart GGG and 46 of these respondents are also subject to Subpart GGGa. Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually. Total estimated burden: 183,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $21,200,000 (per year), which includes $0 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a small increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes, or any increase in the number of sources subject to this regulation, or any change in the capital/startup or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
