        NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa) 
                                (Proposed Rule)
                                   May 2022
                                       
Part A of the Supporting Statement

1. Identification of the Information Collection

      1(a) Title of the Information Collection

NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXa) (Proposed Rule), EPA ICR Number 2720.01, OMB Control Number 2060-NEW. 

      1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

      The new source performance standards (NSPS) for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa) apply to the total of all loading racks at bulk gasoline terminals, which deliver liquid product into gasoline cargo tanks, and for which construction, modification, or reconstruction commenced after the date of proposal. A bulk gasoline terminal is any gasoline facility which receives gasoline by pipeline, ship, barge, or cargo tank and subsequently loads all or a portion of the gasoline into gasoline cargo tanks for transport to bulk gasoline plants or gasoline dispensing facilities and has a gasoline throughput greater than 20,000 gallons per day (75,700 liters per day). The affected facility includes the equipment associated with the loading of gasoline including the line and pumps transferring gasoline from storage vessels, the gasoline loading racks, the vapor collection systems, and the vapor processing system. New facilities include those that commenced either construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. These standards set initial and ongoing performance tests or evaluations, and ongoing recordkeeping and reporting requirements. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa.

      In general, all NSPS require initial notification reports, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of both the occurrence and duration of any deviation 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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file containing these documents and retain the file for at least five years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records unless otherwise specified in the rule. All reports required to be submitted electronically are submitted through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX), using the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI), where the delegated state or local authority can review them. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the EPA regional office can review them. All other reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional offices.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The proposed rule requirements in the NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals include the following:
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vapor tightness standards for gasoline cargo tanks
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emission limits and testing and monitoring requirements for vapor processing systems
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quarterly instrument monitoring for equipment leaks
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Electronic submittal of notifications, semiannual reports, performance tests, and performance evaluations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      There are approximately 12 bulk gasoline terminals that will be subject to the standard at the end of the 3-year period of this ICR. The affected facility for the NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals is the total of all loading racks at bulk gasoline terminals. As such, there is only one respondent per site (i.e., the owner/operator of the site). Over the next three years, approximately 4 respondents per year will be subject to these standards, and 4 additional respondents per year will become subject to these same standards. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      All of the bulk gasoline terminals in the United States are owned and operated by the gasoline distribution industry (the "Affected Public") and are all privately-owned, for-profit businesses. None of the facilities in the United States are owned by either state, local, tribal or the Federal government. The burden to the Affected Public may be found below in the following table: Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa) (Proposed Rule). The Federal Government's burden is attributed to work performed by either Federal employees or government contractors and may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa) (Proposed Rule).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Need for and Use of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The EPA is charged under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, to establish standards of performance for new stationary sources that reflect: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            . . . application of the best technological system of continuous emissions reduction which (taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emissions reduction, or any non-air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator determines has been adequately demonstrated. Section 111(a)(l).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The Agency refers to this charge as selecting the best system of emission reduction (BSER). Section 111 also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards every eight years. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Act to: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonably require.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      In the Administrator's judgment, volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions from bulk gasoline terminals either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and/or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS were first promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The control of emissions from bulk gasoline terminals requires not only the installation of properly designed equipment, but also the operation and maintenance of that equipment. Emissions from these sources are the result of operation of the affected sources. The standards are achieved by the reduction of pollutant emissions using process changes and control technology. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The notifications required in the standards are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated, leaks are being detected and repaired, and the standards are being met.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Performance tests or evaluations are required in order to determine an affected facility's initial and ongoing capability to comply with the emission standards. Continuous monitoring systems are used to ensure compliance with the standards at all times. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of deviations, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures, and for compliance determinations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The information generated by the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements described in this ICR is used by the Agency to ensure that facilities affected by the NSPS continue to operate their control equipment and achieve continuous compliance with the regulation. Adequate monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting are necessary to ensure compliance with these standards, as required by the CAA. The information collected from recordkeeping and reporting requirements is also used for targeting inspections and is of sufficient quality to be used as evidence in court.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(a) Non-duplication
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      For reports required to be submitted electronically, the information is sent through the EPA's CDX, using CEDRI, where the appropriate EPA regional office can review it, as well as state and local agencies that have been delegated authority. If a state or local agency has adopted under its own authority its own standards for reporting or data collection, adherence to those non-Federal requirements does not constitute duplication. 
      
      For all other reports, if the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated state or local agency. If a state or local agency has adopted its own standards to implement the Federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This section is not applicable because this is a rule-related ICR. Nevertheless, the ICR will be available for public review during the public comment period following publication of the proposed rule to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa, in the Federal Register.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(c) Consultations

      The Agency has consulted industry experts to better understand the gasoline distribution industry. Stakeholder outreach occurred with industry groups, including the American Petroleum Institute, International Fuel Terminal Operators Association, and International Liquid Terminals Association, and member companies of these organizations. Further stakeholder and public input are expected through public comment following publication of the proposed rule to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa in the Federal Register and follow-up meetings with interested stakeholders.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(d) Effects of Less-Frequent Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Less-frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet these standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards and the proposed amendments was collected less-frequently, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(e) General Guidelines
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These reporting or recordkeeping requirements and the proposed rule do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. EPA believes that the 5-year records retention requirement is consistent with the Part 70 permit program and the 5-year statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of records for five years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any pattern of non-compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five years. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to either the destruction or nonexistence of essential records in the absence of the 5-year maintenance requirement.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(f) Confidentiality
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B - Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(g) Sensitive Questions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements in these standards, including the proposed amendments, contain sensitive questions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Electronic Reporting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Currently, many gasoline distribution facilities are using monitoring equipment that provides automated parameter data (e.g., control device parameter monitoring). Although personnel at the facilities still need to evaluate the data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. In addition, regulatory agencies are setting up electronic reporting systems to allow sources to report electronically, which is reducing the reporting burden. As part of the proposed NSPS requirements, respondents would be required to use the EPA's Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) to develop performance test and evaluation reports and submit them through the EPA's CEDRI. The ERT is an application rather than a form, and the requirement to use the ERT is applicable to numerous subparts. The splash screen of the ERT contains a link to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) requirements, such as the OMB Control Number, expiration date, and burden estimate for this and other subparts. In this proposal, respondents would also be required to submit semiannual compliance reports through the EPA's CEDRI. The semiannual reports are to be created using Form 5900-579, the electronic template included with this Supporting Statement. The template is an Excel spreadsheet which can be partially completed and saved for subsequent semiannual reports to limit some of the repetitive data entry. It reflects the reporting elements required by the rule and does not impose additional reporting elements. The OMB Control Number is displayed on the Welcome page of the template, with a link to an online repository that contains the PRA requirements. For purposes of this ICR, it is assumed that there will be no additional burden associated with the proposed requirement for respondents to submit the notifications and reports electronically.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(a) Agency Activities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agency Activities
Observe initial and ongoing performance tests if necessary.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review notifications and reports, including performance test or evaluation reports and semiannual reports, required to be submitted by industry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audit facility records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) and Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS). 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(b) Collection Methodology and Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Performance test and evaluation reports are used by the Agency to discern a source's capability to comply with the emission standard and note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Information contained in the reports is reported by state and local governments in the ICIS Air database, which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. ICIS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government-owned facilities. EPA uses ICIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five years unless otherwise specified.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(c) Small Entity Flexibility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      A small entity for this industry is defined by the Small Business Administration for NAICS code 424710 as a firm having no more than 200 employees and for NAICS code 486910 as a firm having no more than 1,500 employees. It is unlikely that any of the 12 bulk gasoline terminals projected to become subject to the NSPS will be small entities.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(d) Collection Schedule
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown below in: Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa) (Proposed Rule).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this ICR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of "burden" under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 1,122 hours (Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation and Agency knowledge and experience with the NSPS program.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (i) Estimating Labor Costs 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This ICR uses the following labor rates: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Industry Worker Category [a]
                             Labor Rates, $/hr [a]
                                 110% Overhead
                                  Total, $/hr

Clerical (43-0000)
                                    $24.04
                                    $26.44
                                    $50.48
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a Rates are mean hourly rates for May 2020 and are specific for petroleum and coal products manufacturing segment NAICS 324000 as provided at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics4_324000.htm. Numbers in parentheses are the specific BLS occupation codes used to estimate the hourly rates.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Labor rates and associated costs are based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. Technical, management, and clerical average hourly rates for private industry workers were taken from the May 2020 National Industry-Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates: NAICS 324000 (Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing). These BLS rates represent base salaries and do not include the cost of fringe benefits and other overhead costs. The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The type of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard are both labor costs, which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR, and the costs associated with monitoring. There are no capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The only type of industry costs associated with the information collection activity in the regulations are labor and monitoring costs. There are no capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to           be $3,299. This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2020 General Schedule (incorporating the 2.6% general schedule increase; effective January 2020), which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa) (Proposed Rule).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Based on our research for this ICR, we estimate that four facilities will become new, modified, or reconstructed each year. Therefore, we estimated that there would be four facilities subject to these standards in year 1, a total of eight facilities in year 2, and a total twelve facilities in year 3. Therefore, the overall average number of respondents over the 3-year period of this ICR, as shown in the table below, is 8 per year. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three years covered by this ICR:

      The total annual labor costs are $86,999. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa) (Proposed Rule).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, and summarized below. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (i) Respondent Tally
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total annual labor hours are 1,122. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1. Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa) (Proposed Rule).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens are assumed to take 10% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies, and maintain records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 31 hours per response.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $0, as discussed in Section 6(b)(ii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      (ii) The Agency Tally
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 67 labor hours at a cost of $3,299; see below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa) (Proposed Rule).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical tasks, because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens are assumed to take 10% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies, and maintain records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      This ICR is prepared for proposed NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXa). This proposed rule includes: vapor tightness standards for gasoline cargo tanks; emission limits and testing and monitoring requirements for vapor processing systems; quarterly instrument monitoring for equipment leaks; and electronic submittal of notifications, semiannual reports, performance tests, and performance evaluations. Burden estimates include review of the rule requirements, review of electronic reporting forms, and development of recordkeeping processes to ensure data needed to complete the reporting forms are collected in the proper format. Burden estimates also account for semiannual reporting requirements. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(g) Burden Statement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 31 hours per response. "Burden" means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assumptions:
[a]  The average number of respondents per year over the first three years of this ICR is 8. We assumed 4 facilities would report the first year, 8 facilities would report the second year, and 12 facilities report the third year (4 new, modified, or reconstructed facilities per year).
b  This ICR uses the following labor rates from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2020, mean labor rates for Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing (NAICS 324000) for Management Occupations (11-0000), Environmental Engineer (17-2081) and Office and Administrative Support (43-0000) . The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. Fully burdened hourly rates are: $146.20 for management; $76.78 for technical; and $50.48 for clerical.
[c]  We have assumed that all respondents will have to familiarize with regulatory requirements each year.
[d]  Equipment leaks monitoring was assumed to be performed by an external contractor and these costs were included in the costs of equipment leak monitoring programs.
[e]  Performance tests only required for vapor combustors; assumed all new sources use vapor recovery systems. 
f  Performance evaluations and CEMS calibrations only required for vapor recovery systems; assumed all new sources use vapor recovery systems.

Assumptions:
[a]  We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to this rule will be 8, with four new, modified or reconstructed facilities added each year for the next three years of this ICR.
b  This cost is based on the following 2020 labor rates which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $68.37 Managerial rate (GS-13, Step 5), $50.72 Technical rate (GS-12, Step 1), and $27.46 Clerical rate (GS-6, Step 3).  These rates are calculated from the hourly rates included in the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 2020 General Schedule which excludes locality rates of pay; the rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for benefit packages available to government employees.
c  Only new respondents would have to comply with the initial rule requirements including notifications. Assumed 4 new respondents per year.
d  Performance tests only required for vapor combustors; assumed all new sources use vapor recovery systems.
[e]  Performance evaluations only required for vapor recovery systems; assumed all new sources use vapor recovery systems.
