    Title: NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1659.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0325.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2007. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An 
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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP), for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart R, were promulgated on December 14, 1994 (59 FR 64318). The 
standards were revised on June 26, 1995 (60 FR 32913), to correct 
errors in the printing of the emission screening equation in the final 
standards, and amended on February 29, 1996 (61 FR 7723), to extend the 
initial compliance date for the equipment leak standard. The standards 
were amended again June 12, 1996 (61 FR 29875), to clarify the coverage 
of gasoline loading racks at refineries with through-puts greater than 
75,700 liters/day. Updated direct final standards were promulgated on 
February 28, 1997 (62 FR 9092), to implement a proposed settlement with 
the American Petroleum Institute. These regulations apply to facilities 
that are new or existing pipeline breakout stations or bulk gasoline 
terminals with through-puts greater than 75,700 liters/day, commencing 
construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of 
proposal.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, 
performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators 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 sources subject to 
NESHAP. Specifically, data is being collected on performance of the 
continuous monitoring systems for gasoline vapor and related hazardous 
air pollutants (HAPs), any excess emissions, and any operating 
parameter exceedances.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least 
five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance 
reports, and records. All 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 United States 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.

    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 29 
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 which have subsequently changed; 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of facilities 
that are new or existing pipeline breakout stations or bulk gasoline 
terminals.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 447.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, semiannually and annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 15,756 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,755,864, which includes $0 
annualized Capital Startup costs, $357,000 annualized Operating and 
Maintenance Costs (O&M), and $1,398,864 annualized Labor Costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There are two categories of burden in 
this ICR, major sources and area sources. There is a net decrease in 
burden hours from the most recently approved ICR due to a decrease in 
the number of major sources subject to the standard. The decrease 
occurred because major sources reduced their emissions or otherwise 
demonstrated that their emissions were below the threshold level for 
applicability in the standard. However, it should be noted that the 
previous ICR did not include the burden hours for area sources.
    After the calculations were updated to include managerial and 
clerical hours for major sources, and we added the burden associated 
with area sources, the sum total of the increases did not offset burden 
hours associated with the decrease in the number of major sources 
required to comply with the standard. Hence, there is a net overall 
decrease in the burden hours to comply with this standard.
