Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Gasoline Distribution Major Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R) were first promulgated on December 14, 1994, and last amended on April 6, 2006. These regulations apply to gasoline distribution bulk terminals or pipeline breakout stations that are a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R. In general, all NESHAP 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 deviation, 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. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file containing these documents and retain the file for at least five years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records unless otherwise specified in the rule. All reports required to be submitted electronically are submitted through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX), using the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI), where the delegated state or local authority can review them. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the EPA regional office can review them. All other reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional offices. The final amendments to the NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Major Sources include the following: Increasing vapor tightness standards for gasoline cargo tanks; Revising testing and monitoring requirements for gasoline loading vapor processing systems; Requiring fitting controls for external floating roof tanks; Including lower explosive limit (LEL) monitoring for internal floating roof tanks; Performing semiannual instrument monitoring for equipment leaks; Eliminating the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption; Removing applicability equation and updating definitions; Adding electronic submittal of notifications, semiannual reports, and performance tests and performance evaluations. The remaining portions of the major source NESHAP remain unchanged.

Short Statement: This ICR is prepared for final amendments to the NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Major Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R). These final amendments: (1) Adjust references to the Part 63 General Provisions (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart A) and revise provisions in the NESHAP (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R) to remove the SSM exemption and SSM plan requirement; (2) Add electronic submittal of notifications, semiannual reports, and performance test and performance evaluation reports; and (3) Make technical and editorial changes including the following: increasing vapor tightness standards for cargo tanks, revising testing and monitoring requirements for gasoline loading vapor processing systems, requiring fitting controls for external floating roof tanks, including lower explosive limit (LEL) monitoring for internal floating roof tanks, performing semiannual instrument monitoring for equipment leaks, and removing the applicability equation and updating definitions. This ICR reflects only the additional burden associated with the final rule revisions. Additional burden was added to review the amendments, review new electronic reporting forms, adjust recordkeeping processes to ensure data needed to complete the reporting forms are collected in the proper format, and to monitor equipment according to the final amendments. Burden estimates were also revised to account for additions and changes to the semiannual reporting requirements.
