Abstract:
The EPA is proposing to revise 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC as it applies to existing and new petroleum refining process units and emission points located at refineries that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. Emission points affected by the revisions are miscellaneous process vents, storage vessels, and equipment leaks. There are new provisions for delayed coking unit vents and for fenceline monitoring, which include new recordkeeping and reporting requirements. There are also additional requirements and clarifications for storage vessels, which include revisions to the inspection, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements. In addition, electronic reporting is now required for fenceline monitoring and performance testing. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC. The previous approved ICR for this subpart (1692.06) included estimates of the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting burden for 134 refineries, including process vents, storage vessels, and process units subject to leak detection and repair (LDAR). This ICR estimates burden due to proposed rule changes for 142 major source refineries for process vents, storage vessels, and process units subject to LDAR. This ICR also estimates the additional burden associated with the new fenceline monitoring requirements for the 142 major source refineries. The original ICR did not include burden estimates for wastewater operations or transfer operations because the recordkeeping and reporting requirements for these emission points are covered under other rules. This ICR also does not contain burden estimates for wastewater operations or transfer operations because there were no changes in the provisions for these emission points.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion:
No
Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The increase in burden is primarily due to new fenceline monitoring requirements, new flare monitoring requirements, and new recordkeeping and reporting requirements for relief devices, delayed cokers, and control device bypass valves. There are also new inspection requirements and associated reporting and recordkeeping requirements for storage tanks. An estimated 112 new storage tanks will be subject to existing requirements due to threshold changes.
