SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Environmental Protection Agency has 
submitted an information collection request (ICR), ``NSPS for VOC 
Emissions from Petroleum Refinery Wastewater Systems (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart QQQ) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 1136.12, OMB Control No. 2060-
0172), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.). This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently 
approved through March 31, 2017. Public comments were previously 
requested via the Federal Register (81 FR 26546) on May 3, 2016 during 
a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days 
for public comments.
    Supporting documents which explain in detail the information that 
the EPA will be collecting are available in the public docket for this 
ICR. The docket can be viewed online at www.regulations.gov, or in 
person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution 
Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is 
202-566-1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket,

    Abstract: Owners and operators of petroleum refinery wastewater 
systems are required to keep records of design and operating 
specifications of all equipment installed to comply with the standards 
such as water seals, roof seals, control devices, and other equipment. 
This information is necessary to ensure that equipment design and 
operation specifications are met, and the source is in compliance with 
NSPS Subpart QQQ.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Petroleum refinery wastewater 
systems.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart QQQ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 149 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 10,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $19,400 in either annualized capital/startup 
or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
overall burden in this ICR when compared to the previous ICR. This is 
due to a correction from 135 in the previous ICR to 149 in this ICR 
renewal in the estimated number of petroleum refineries subject to the 
NSPS. This ICR references the most recently available industry 
information from the Refinery Sector Rule reconsideration and is 
consistent with the source count for NSPS Subpart J for petroleum 
refineries. In addition, this ICR assumes all sources will take time to 
re-familiarize with the regulation each year.
