SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: NSPS Subpart XX for Bulk Gasoline terminals, OMB Control Number 2060-0006, EPA ICR Number 0664.07, expiration date 09/30/2002. This is a request for extension of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: The Agency has judged that volatile organic chemical emissions from bulk gasoline terminals cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Owners or operators of bulk gasoline terminals must make the following one-time-only reports: notification of the date of construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and actual dates of startup; notification of any physical or operational change to an existing facility which may increase the regulated pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the initial performance test, and the results of the initial performance test. 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. Monitoring requirements specific to bulk gasoline terminals consist mainly of identifying and documenting vapor tightness for each gasoline tank truck that is loaded at the affected facility, and notifying the owner or operator of each tank truck that is not vapor tight. The owner or operator must also perform a monthly visual inspection for liquid or vapor leaks. 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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
