Abstract:
The EPA is finalizing revisions to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) from Petroleum Refineries (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. Many of the final revisions are technical corrections to the December 2015 amendments to 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC to correct typographical errors or incorrect cross-references and do not involve additional information collection or burden. There is, however, a final technical amendment that impacts the recordkeeping requirements in 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC for certain maintenance vents associated with equipment containing less than 72 lbs VOC as found at §63.655(i)(12)(iv). The new recordkeeping requirement requires records used to estimate the total quantity of VOC in the equipment and the type and size limits of equipment that contain less than 72 lb of VOC at the time of the maintenance vent opening. As specified in §63.655(i)(12)(iv), additional records are required if the deinventory procedures were not followed for each maintenance vent opening or if the equipment opened exceeded the type and size limits (i.e., 72 lb VOC). These additional records include identification of the maintenance vent, the process units or equipment associated with the maintenance vent, the date of maintenance vent opening, and records used to estimate the total quantity of VOC in the equipment at the time the maintenance vent was opened to the atmosphere. These records will assist the EPA with determining compliance with the standards set forth in §63.643(c)(iv). They are expected to result in 16 hours and $1,640 of additional burden to respondents nationwide, and 8 hours and $379 additional burden to the EPA. The new recordkeeping requirement requires records used to estimate the total quantity of VOC in the equipment and the type and size limits of equipment that contain less than 72 lb of VOC at the time of the maintenance vent opening. As specified in 63.655(i)(12)(iv), additional records are required if the deinventory procedures were not followed for each maintenance vent opening or if the equipment opened exceeded the type and size limits (i.e., 72 lb VOC). These additional records include identification of the maintenance vent, the process units or equipment associated with the maintenance vent, the date of maintenance vent opening, and records used to estimate the total quantity of VOC in the equipment at the time the maintenance vent was opened to the atmosphere. These records will assist the EPA with determining compliance with the standards set forth in 63.643(c)(iv). They are expected to result in 16 hours and $1,640 of additional burden to respondents, and 8 hours and $379 additional burden to the EPA.
