Measures to protect confidentiality of information collected under the SNAP program are based on EPA’s confidentiality regulations (40 CFR 2.201 et seq., or subpart B). Submitters may designate all or portions of their forms or petitions as confidential. EPA requires the submitters to substantiate their claim of confidentiality. Under CAA section 114(c), emissions information may not be claimed as confidential. Any substitute which is a new chemical must also be submitted to the Agency under the New Chemicals (Premanufacture Notice) program under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Furthermore, alternatives that will be used as sterilants must be filed jointly with EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs and with SNAP. Form Numbers: 1264–14; 1265–14. Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers, importers, formulators, and processors of substitutes for ODS. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 82.176). Estimated number of respondents: 154 (per year). Frequency of response: Annual. Total estimated burden: 4,855 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $444,249, which includes $22,912 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The number of SNAP submissions each year is expected to remain the same from the previous ICR, at an average of 15 per year during the next 3 years. In 2020 the Agency received 20 new SNAP submissions, and in 2021 the Agency received 13 submissions. In the first 10 months of 2022, the Agency received 6 submissions, although multiple submissions applied for more than 5 end-uses. Many of the recent SNAP submissions, and those anticipated over the next three years, are for chemicals previously found acceptable for other SNAP applications or for blends of alternatives already found acceptable. The burden of developing supporting information for the majority of these submissions is expected to decrease because it is easier to find and review information for substitutes that have been reviewed previously. There is an estimated 20% reduction in the number of respondents responsible for recordkeeping for substitutes acceptable subject to use conditions and narrowed use limits. This reduction is expected because the increased availability of alternatives decreases the need for industry to use alternatives previously listed as VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:33 Jun 29, 2023 Jkt 259001 acceptable subject to narrowed use limits.

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.
