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. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/ operators of the affected facilities. They ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:33 Jun 29, 2023 Jkt 259001 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: Existing and new wastewater systems at petroleum refineries. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQ). Estimated number of respondents: 130 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 8,900 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,340,000 (per year), which includes $16,900 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The adjustment decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of sources. The previous ICR included 149 respondents, while this ICR only includes 130. Petroleum refinery capacities have been declining since 2020, including the associated wastewater systems. This ICR estimated the number of respondents using data collected by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The decrease in the number of sources also led to a decrease of the Capital and Operation & Maintenance costs. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The Clean Air Act requires that on-highway vehicles and motorcycles, and nonroad vehicles, engines, and equipment imported into the U.S. either comply with applicable emission requirements or qualify for an applicable exemption or exclusion. The Compliance Division (CD) in the EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation maintains and makes available instruments to importers to help facilitate the importation of products at U.S. Borders. EPA Form 3520–1 is used by importers of on-highway vehicles and motorcycles, and EPA Form 3520–21 is used by importers of nonroad vehicles, engines, and equipment. For most imports, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations require that EPA Declaration Forms 3520–1 and 3520–21 be filed with CBP at the time of entry. EPA does not require that the forms be submitted directly to EPA. Rather, they are used by CBP to facilitate the importation process at U.S. borders. EPA does require that the forms be kept by importers for a period of five years after importation to assist EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) and CBP should any issues arise with any given importation. In addition, this ICR covers the burden of EPA Form 3520–8 which EPA makes available upon request and is used by Independent Commercial Importers (ICIs), who bring on-highway vehicles into compliance and provide emissions test results, to request final importation clearance for their onhighway vehicles. Since 2016, CBP has been using the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) to facilitate the electronic filing of imports documents rather than collecting paper. ACE has become the primary system through which the trade community and other importers report imports and exports. Through ACE as the single point of submission, manual processes have been streamlined and automated, and paper submissions (e.g. fillable PDFs) have been significantly reduced. Rather than file hard copy forms, importers can log into ACE and VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:33 Jun 29, 2023 Jkt 259001 check boxes corresponding to information elements currently on the forms. Filers using the ACE interface will also receive transaction information that will be kept by the filer. However, EPA will continue to maintain the forms on our website in fillable PDF format. Although importers are expected to use the ACE interface to submit information, the PDF versions of the form can also be submitted directly into ACE by importers. Form Numbers: 3520–1, 3520–21, 3520–8. Respondents/affected entities: Information collected is from individual importers, or companies who import and/or manufacture on-highway vehicles and motorcycles and nonroad engines, vehicles, and equipment. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required for any importer to legally import on-highway vehicles and motorcycles and nonroad engines, vehicles, and equipment vehicles or engines into the U.S. Estimated number of respondents: 14,810. Frequency of response: Once per entry. (One form per shipment may be used.) Total estimated burden: 131,985 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $8,009,549 (per year), which includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: There is an increase of 50,000 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to the estimated annual number of entries (forms filed with CBP) rising from 160,000 per year to approximately 260,000 per year. Accordingly, due to the additional forms filed and slight increases in labor costs, estimated average annual costs have increased by approximately $3,764,850.
