Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Petroleum Refineries: Catalytic Cracking Units, Catalytic Reforming Units, and Sulfur Recovery Units (40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU) apply to three types of affected units at either new and existing 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. In general, all NESHAP 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 the NESHAP. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of petroleum refineries that operate catalytic cracking PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 units; catalytic reforming units; and sulfur recovery units. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU). Estimated number of respondents: 130 (total). Frequency of response: Semiannually. Total estimated burden: 16,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $10,000,000 (per year), which includes $8,020,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: The decrease in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. The adjustment decrease in burden is due to a decrease in the number of sources. Petroleum refinery capacities have been declining since 2020 and this ICR reflects updated respondent counts based on data collected by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In addition, the burden for one-time activities following implementation of the 2015 final rule in the currently approved ICR were removed. This ICR reflects the on-going burden and costs for the existing facilities. Due to a decrease in the number of respondents, there has been a decrease in the capital/startup and/or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

These regulations require a manufacturer to demonstrate compliance prior to EPA granting it a ‘‘Certificate of Conformity.’’ EPA charges fees for administering this certification program. In 2004 and subsequently in 2008 the fees program was expanded to include nonroad categories of vehicles and engines, such as several categories of marine engines, locomotives, non-road recreational vehicles, many nonroad compressionignition and spark-ignition engines and evaporative emission components. Manufacturers and importers of covered vehicles, engines and components are required to pay the applicable certification fees prior to their certification applications being reviewed by the Agency. Under section 208 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7542(c)) all information, other than trade secret processes or methods, must be publicly available. Information about fee payments is treated as confidential information prior to certification. Form Numbers: 3520–29. Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers or importers of passenger cars, motorcycles, light trucks, heavyduty truck engines, nonroad vehicles or engines, and evaporative emission components are required to receive a certificate of conformity from EPA prior to selling or introducing these products into commerce in the U.S. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit (40 CFR part 1027). Estimated number of respondents: 579 (total). Frequency of response: An average of approximately nine responses per respondent per year. Total estimated burden: 1022 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $77,444 (per year), includes $12,364 annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is a slight increase of three hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This slight increase is due to the variability in the number of certificates and, therefore, the number of fees paid from year to year. The estimate of the costs associated with the fees program have increased from $67,445 to $77,444 due to wage estimate increases. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

    Abstract: As required by the Clean Air Act, EPA has regulations 
establishing emission standards and other requirements for various 
classes of vehicles, engines, and evaporative emission components. 
These regulations require a manufacturer to demonstrate compliance 
prior to EPA granting it a ``Certificate of Conformity.'' EPA charges 
fees for administering this certification program. In 2004 and 
subsequently in 2008 the fees program was expanded to include nonroad 
categories of vehicles and engines, such as several categories of 
marine engines, locomotives, non-road recreational vehicles, many 
nonroad compression-ignition and spark-ignition engines and evaporative 
emission components. Manufacturers and importers of covered vehicles, 
engines and components are required to pay the applicable certification 
fees prior to their certification applications being reviewed by the 
Agency. Under section 208 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7542(c)) all 
information, other than trade secret processes or methods, must be 
publicly available. Information about fee payments is treated as 
confidential information prior to certification.
    Form Numbers: 3520-29.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers or importers of 
passenger cars, motorcycles, light trucks, heavy-duty truck engines, 
nonroad vehicles or engines, and evaporative emission components are 
required to receive a certificate of conformity from EPA prior to 
selling or introducing these products into commerce in the U.S.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a 
benefit (40 CFR part 1027).
    Estimated number of respondents: 579 (total).
    Frequency of response: An average of approximately nine responses 
per respondent per year.
    Total estimated burden: 1022 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $77,444 (per year), includes $12,364 
annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a slight increase of three hours 
in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR 
currently approved by OMB. This slight increase is due to the 
variability in the number of certificates and, therefore, the number of 
fees paid from year to year. The estimate of the costs associated with 
the fees program have increased from $67,445 to $77,444 due to wage 
estimate increases.
