Abstract: Owners and operators of gasoline bulk terminals are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), as well as for the applicable standards in 40 CFR part 60, subpart XXX. This includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests, and maintaining records of inspections and the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards.

Form Numbers: None.

Respondents/affected entities: Bulk gasoline terminals.

Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart XX).

Estimated number of respondents: 214 (total).

Frequency of response: Initially.

Total estimated burden: 70,900 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $8,320,000 (per year), which includes $0 for annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because of an increase in the number of existing respondents. The number of existing respondents in this ICR has been adjusted based on data collected from EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database. A review of the ECHO data based on NAICS code 424710 (Petroleum Bulk Stations and Terminals), availability of EIS ID, identification as subject to Subpart XX, and reported to the National Emissions Inventory identified approximately 214 active sources. This ICR reflects a more accurate estimate of the number of existing respondents. The number of new respondents per year has not been adjusted due to uncertainty in current industry trends. The overall result is an increase in burden hours and costs.
