    SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3507 
    (a)(1)(D)), this notice announces that the Information Collection 
    Request (ICR) for Petroleum Refineries described below has been 
    forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
    comment. The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and 
    its expected burden and cost; where appropriate, it includes the actual 
    data collection instrument.
    
    DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 19, 1996.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260-
    2740, and refer to EPA ICR No. 983.05.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
        Title: Standards of Performance for Petroleum Refineries (OMB No. 
    2060-0067; EPA ICR No. 0983.05). This is a request for revision of a 
    currently approved collection.
        Abstract: In the Administrator's judgement, volatile organic 
    compound (VOC) emissions from petroleum refineries cause or contribute 
    to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public 
    health or welfare. In order to assure compliance with the emissions 
    standards, adequate monitoring and recordkeeping is necessary. If the 
    information required by the standards were not collected, the Agency 
    would have no means for ensuring that compliance with the NSPS is 
    achieved and maintained by sources subject to the regulation. The 
    information collected is also used for targeting inspections, and is of 
    sufficient quality to be used as evidence in court. The information 
    collected is required under 40 C.F.R. Part 60 Subpart GGG and records 
    of the information are required to be maintained for at least two 
    years. 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. The 
    Federal Register Notice required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting 
    comments on this collection of information was published on 3/26/96 (FR 
    61, No. 59 p 13181-82). Upon completion of this comment period, no 
    comments were received.
        Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
    burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.3 
    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.
    
    Normal Data Collection: 
        Estimated Hours/Response: 0.344
        Estimated Number of Responses: 35
        Frequency of Response: 365
        Estimated Annual Hour Burden: 4393
    Performance Test Burden:
        Estimated Hours/Response: 37.67
        Estimated Number of Responses: 3
        Frequency of Response: 1
        Estimated Annual Hour Burden: 113
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 4,506 hours.
    
        Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the 
    accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods 
    for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of 
    automated collection techniques to the following addresses: (Please 
    refer to EPA ICR No. 0983.05 and OMB Control No. 2060-0067 in any 
    correspondence.)
