Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (40 CFR part 63, subpart R) apply to existing and new: (1) Bulk gasoline terminals with throughputs greater than 75,700 liters/day; and (2) pipeline breakout stations. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal.

Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to comply with reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements for the NESHAP General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as for the specific requirements at 40 CFR part 63, subpart R. This includes submitting initial notification reports, performance tests and periodic reports and results, maintaining 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, and submitting annual reports certifying area source status if an area source is within 50 percent of major source threshold criteria. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with the standards.

Form Numbers: None.

Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of gasoline distribution facilities.

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

Estimated number of respondents: 102 major source and 390 area sources (492 total).

Frequency of response: Annually, semiannually.

Total estimated burden: 15,900 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $2,160,000 (per year), which includes $305,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. The growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or non-existent. The decrease in costs is due to an adjustment in the number of respondents with O&M costs. A re-examination of the rule and background documents indicates that the monitoring requirements and associated O&M costs apply only to the 87 major source bulk gasoline terminals.
