Abstract:
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Petroleum Refineries: Catalytic Cracking Units, Catalytic Reforming Units, and Sulfur Recovery Units apply to three types of affected units at major source petroleum refineries: fluid catalytic cracking units (FCCU) for catalyst regeneration, catalytic reforming units (CRU), and sulfur recovery units (SRU). The rule also includes requirements for by-pass lines associated with the three affected units. New facilities include those that commenced construction, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUU. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. The adjustment decrease in burden is due to a decrease in the number of sources. Petroleum refinery capacities have been declining since 2020 and this ICR reflects updated respondent counts based on data collected by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In addition, the burden for one-time activities following implementation of the 2015 final rule in the currently approved ICR was removed. This ICR reflects the ongoing burden and costs for the existing facilities. Due to a decrease in the number of respondents, there has been a decrease in capital/startup and/or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
