    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations (40 CFR 
part 63, subpart Y) establishes Maximum Achievable Control Technology 
(MACT) standards for existing facilities and new facilities that load 
marine tank vessels with petroleum or gasoline. These facilities have 
aggregate actual hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions of 10 tons or 
more of each individual HAP, or 25 tons or more of all HAP combined. 
This NESHAP regulation also established reasonably-available control 
technology (RACT) standards to such facilities with an annual 
throughput of 10 million or more barrels of gasoline or 200 million or 
more barrels of crude oil. The NESHAP regulation was amended in 2011 to 
include emission standards for two marine tank vessel loading operation 
(MTVLO) subcategories not included in the original rule. These 
subcategories are facilities with MTVLO that emit less than 10 tons per 
year of each individual HAP and less than 25 tons per year of all HAP 
combined, and that are located at major sources of HAP loading more 
than 1 million barrels per year of gasoline, and facilities located 
more than 0.5 miles from shore. The 2011 amendment also added a 
provision to require electronic submittal of performance test results. 
This ICR has been updated to reflect the additional industry burden 
associated with the amended standards. The 2015 amendments did not add 
information collection requirements beyond those currently required 
under the applicable regulations.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, 
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the 
affected facilities. They 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 NESHAP. Any owner/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. If there is 
no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA 
regional office.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of marine tank 
vessel loading operations.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart Y).
    Estimated number of respondents: 804 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 10,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,130,000 (per year), which includes no 
annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a small increase in the total 
estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This adjustment is due to a change in a previous 
assumption. In accordance with the Terms of Clearance for OMB's 
previous approval, this ICR renewal

[[Page 17554]]

package assumes all existing respondents will have to familiarize with 
the regulatory requirements each year. Additionally, there is a 
decrease in the number of responses from 843 to 842 to remove the 
affirmative defense requirement since those provisions have been 
removed from the rule since the last renewal.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
