    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Petroleum 
Refineries were proposed on June 11, 1973, promulgated on March 8, 
1974, and amended on both September 12, 2012 and December 1, 2015. The 
2015 amendment finalized technical clarifications to improve 
consistency and clarity and to address issues related to a 2008 
industry petition for reconsideration. The 2012 amendment allowed the 
option for affected sources to comply with Subpart J by following the 
applicable provisions in the NSPS Subpart Ja rule. The affected sources 
are: (1) Fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) catalyst regenerator or 
fuel gas combustion device (FGCD) other than a flare that commenced 
construction, reconstruction or modification after June 11, 1973 and 
on/or before May 14, 2007; (2) FGCD that is also a flare that commenced 
construction, reconstruction or modification after June 11, 1973 and 
on/or before June 24, 2008; or (3) any Claus sulfur recovery plant with 
a design capacity of more than 20 long tons per day sulfur feed which 
commenced construction, reconstruction or modification after October 4, 
1976 and on/or before May 14, 2007.
    In general, all NSPS 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 with 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart J.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Petroleum refineries.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart J).
    Estimated number of respondents: 149 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 15,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,500,000 (per year), which includes 
$826,000 annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
(O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in labor hours from 
the most-recently approved ICR due to an adjustment. The total hours 
include an hour allowance to allow each source to familiarize 
themselves with the

[[Page 56322]]

requirements each year. Finally, there is slight increase in the O&M 
costs, as costs were adjusted from $2,005.00 to $2,016.00 using the 
Chemical Engineering Index.
