    Title: NSPS for Standards of Performance for Storage Vessels for 
Petroleum Liquids for Which Construction, Reconstruction or 
Modification Commenced after June 11, 1973, and Prior to May 19, 1978 
(40 CFR Part 60, Subpart K).
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the 
regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart K were proposed on 
June 11, 1973, and promulgated on March 8, 1974. These regulations 
apply to facilities in 40 CFR part 60, subpart K that store petroleum 
liquids in: storage vessels with petroleum liquids which have a storage 
capacity greater than 151,416 liters (40,000 gallons), and for which 
construction commenced after June 11, 1973, and prior to May 19, 1978; 
storage vessels greater than 151,416 liters (40,000 gallons) but not 
exceeding 246,052 liters (65,000 gallons), and where construction or 
modification commenced after March 8, 1974, and prior to May 19, 1978; 
storage vessels that have a capacity greater than 246,052 liters 
(65,000 gallons), and where construction or modification commenced 
after June 11, 1973, and prior to May 19, 1978. Affected facilities 
report only if a storage vessel is no longer subject to 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart K and will now be subject to the current storage vessel 
standard, 40 CFR part 60, subpart Kb. The subpart K standards also 
require the owner/operator to document (recordkeeping) the activities 
of the storage period, the maximum true vapor pressure, and the type of 
petroleum liquid stored. This information is recorded only when a 
petroleum liquid is changed in the storage vessel. Facilities that are 
not subject to the Standards of Performance for Storage Vessels for 
Petroleum Liquids, 40 CFR part 60, subpart K, are storage vessels of 
petroleum or condensate stored, processed, and/or treated at a drilling 
and production facility prior to custody transfer.
    Responses to this information collection are deemed to be 
mandatory, per section 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required 
information consists of emissions data and other information that have 
been determined not to be private. However, any information submitted 
to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be 
safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in title 40, 
chapter 1, part 2, subpart B--Confidentiality of Business Information 
(see 40 CFR part 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 
40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, 
March 23, 1979).
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's 
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on 
the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review 
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of facilities 
that store petroleum liquids for which construction, reconstruction or 
modification commenced after June 11, 1973, and prior to May 19, 1978.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 220.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 669 hours.

[[Page 69082]]

    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $43,000, includes $0 annualized 
capital/startup costs, $0 annual O&M costs, and $43,000 labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 9 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease in burden from the most recently 
approved ICR is due to an adjustment. Calculation errors from the 
previous ICR in reference to the number of respondents were corrected 
in this ICR.

    Dated: December 2, 2003.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
