Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEE.

Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit an initial notification report, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. 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. Reports are required semiannually at a minimum.

Form Numbers: None.

Respondents/affected entities: Organic liquids distribution facilities.

Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEE)

Estimated number of respondents: 381 (total).

Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and annually.

Total estimated burden: 114,667 hours (per year). “Burden” is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $19,770,006 (per year), includes $8,559,164 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the respondent labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to an increase in the estimated number of hours to prepare semiannual reports. The previous ICR estimated 40 technical hours per occurrence for this burden item. Based on consultation comments received during development of this ICR, we revised the estimate to 80 hours per semiannual report to more accurately reflect industry burden. In addition, there is an increase in respondent labor costs from the most recently approved ICR due to adjustments in labor rates. This ICR uses updated labor rates to calculate all burden costs.
