for Equipment Leaks of VOC in Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR part 60, 
subparts GGG and GGGa) (Renewal); EPA ICR No. 0983.15; OMB Control No. 
2060-0067), which explain in detail the information that the EPA will 
be collecting, are available in the public docket for this ICR. The 
docket can be viewed online at www.regulations.gov or in person at the 
EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., 
Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is 202-566-
1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit:

    Abstract: Owners or operators of the affected facilities described 
must make one-time only notifications and 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. Monitoring 
requirements specific to Equipment Leaks of VOC in Petroleum Refineries 
provide information on which components are leaking VOCs. NSPS subpart 
GGG references the compliance requirements of NSPS subpart VV; and NSPS 
subpart GGGa references the compliance requirements of NSPS subpart 
VVa. Periodically, owners or operators are required to record 
information identifying leaking equipment, repair methods used to stop 
the leaks, and dates of repair. The time period for this recordkeeping 
varies and depends on equipment type and leak history. Semiannual 
reports are required to measure compliance with the standards of NSPS 
subparts VV and VVa, as referenced by NSPS subparts GGG and GGGa. These 
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining 
compliance and in general, are required of all sources subject to NSPS. 
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least 
two years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, 
and records.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Petroleum Refineries.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subparts GGG and GGGa).
    Estimated number of respondents: 116 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 183,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $18,900,000 (per year); there are neither 
annualized capital/startup nor operation & maintenance costs in this 
ICR.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is due to adjustments in Agency's estimates. The 
burden has increased due to more accurate estimates for recording 
operation parameters and semiannual work practice reports. The most-
recently approved ICR underestimated the effort required to record 
operating parameters and develop semiannual reports. Updated estimates 
for these burden items increased the total respondent burden for 
subpart GGG from 18,800 to 130,000 hours and for subpart GGGa from 
6,120 to 53,400 hours. This ICR takes into account estimates provided 
by consultations with industry trade associations.
