NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R) (Renewal)

1. Identification of the Information Collection

      1(a) Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R) (Renewal),           EPA ICR Number 1659.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0325.

      1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

      The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R) were proposed on February 8, 1994, promulgated on December 14, 1994, and most-recently amended on February 28, 1997. The updated direct final standards promulgated on February 28, 1997 implemented a proposed settlement with the American Petroleum Institute (API). These regulations apply to existing    and new bulk gasoline terminals with throughputs greater than 75,700 liters/day. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R.

      In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notification reports, 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, 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. All 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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      All of the bulk gasoline terminals are owned and operated by the gasoline distribution industry (aka: the "Affected Public"). None of the facilities in the United States are owned by either state, local, tribal or the Federal government. They are all owned and operated by privately-owned, for-profit businesses. We assume that they will all respond to EPA inquiries. The "burden" to the Affected Public may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R) (Renewal). The "burden" to the Federal Government is attributed entirely to work performed by either Federal employees or government contractors and may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Over the next three years, approximately 102 respondents (87 bulk terminals and 15 pipeline breakout stations) are deemed major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) and are subject to the standards this Subpart. No additional respondents per year will become subject to these same standards. In addition, there are a total of 1,560 area sources (i.e., 1,100 bulk gasoline terminal and 460 pipeline breakout stations), of which 25 percent (i.e., 390) will be within 50 percent of major source threshold criteria, who will be required to conduct an annual certification testing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active ICR without any "Terms of Clearance".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Need for and Use of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The EPA is charged under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Act to:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonably require.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      In the Administrator's judgment, benzene and other HAP emissions from gasoline distribution facilities either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and/or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in these standards ensure compliance with the applicable regulations, which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility's initial capability to comply with the emission standards. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with these standards at all times. During the performance test a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The notifications required in these standards are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated, leaks are being detected and repaired, and that these same standards are being met. The performance test may also be observed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(a) Non-duplication
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated state or local agency. If a state or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register (80 FR 32116) on June 5, 2015. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(c) Consultations

      The Agency has consulted industry experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years. The primary source of information as reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in these standards, is the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS). ICIS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government-owned facilities. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency's internal industry experts.

      Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with these standards as they were being developed and these same standards have been reviewed previously to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. In developing this ICR, we contacted: 1) the American Petroleum Institute, at<PHONE_NUMBER>; and 2) SC Fuels, at<PHONE_NUMBER>. API reviewed the ICR supporting statement and did not have substantial feedback.

      It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice. In this case, no comments were received.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(d) Effects of Less-Frequent Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Less-frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequently, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(e) General Guidelines
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards. EPA believes that the five-year records retention requirement is consistent with the Part 70 permit program and the five-year statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of records for five years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any pattern of non-compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five years. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(f) Confidentiality
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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 (CBI) (see 40 CFR 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).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(g) Sensitive Questions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
63.428(i)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      A source must keep the following records:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recordkeeping
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintain records of monthly visual inspection data on gasoline transfer and vapor collection and processing equipment
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(a) Agency Activities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agency Activities

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audit facility records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) and ICIS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(b) Collection Methodology and Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standards. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Information contained in the reports is reported by state and local governments in the ICIS Air database, which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. ICIS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government-owned facilities. EPA uses ICIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(c) Small Entity Flexibility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The number of small entities potentially subject to the requirements of this ICR is estimated to be 56 percent of the respondent universe; however, finer and more-complete data would probably result in a substantial reduction in the number of firms classified as small. This estimate is based on the discussion of small business impacts during the development of the rule (see BID EPA-453/R-94-002a January 1994, pages 8-84 through 8-87).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the types of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small entities. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(d) Collection Schedule
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this ICR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of "Burden" under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The Agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 15,900 hours (Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously- approved ICR, and any comments received.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (i) Estimating Labor Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This ICR uses the following labor rates:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Managerial	$138.43 ($65.92+ 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Technical	$106.45 ($50.69 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Clerical	$52.77 ($25.13 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2015, "Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group." The rates are from column 1, "Total compensation." The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The type of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are one-time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor(s) and other costs such as photocopying and postage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $357,000. This is the total of column G.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $357,000. These are recordkeeping costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $65,400.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

		Managerial	$64.16 (GS-13, Step 5, $40.10 + 60%)
		Technical	$47.62 (GS-12, Step 1, $29.76 + 60%)
		Clerical	$25.76 (GS-6, Step 3, $16.10 + 60%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2016 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three years, approximately 102 existing respondents (87 bulk gasoline terminals and 15 pipeline breakout stations) will be subject to these standards. We have further estimated that there are total of 1,560 area sources (i.e., 1,100 bulk gasoline terminals and 460 pipeline breakout stations), of which 25 percent will be within 50 percent of major source threshold criteria (i.e., 390) and will be required to conduct an annual certification testing. It is estimated that no additional respondents per year will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below is 492 per year (102 + 390 = 492).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three years covered by this ICR:

      The number of Total Annual Responses is 508.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total annual labor costs are $1,640,000. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown below in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, and summarized below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (i) Respondent Tally
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total annual labor hours are 15,900. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens are assumed to take 10% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies and maintain records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 31 hours per response.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $357,000. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (ii) The Agency Tally
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 1,410 labor hours at a cost of $65,400. See below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens are assumed to take 10% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies and maintain records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      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 small change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because of a change in assumption. This ICR assumes all sources will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(g) Burden Statement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 31 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to,   a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

	To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OECA-2012-0662.

Assumptions:
[a]  We have estimated that there are 102 respondents, comprised of 87 bulk terminals and 15 pipeline breakout stations, which are major sources of HAPs subject to this NESHAP.  We have also estimated that no new respondents will become subject to the regulation in the next three years.
[b]  This ICR uses the following labor rates:  $138.43 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $106.45 per hour for Technical labor, and $52.77 per hour for Clerical labor.  These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2015, Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group.  The rates are from column 1, Total Compensation.  The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
[c]  We have assumed that all respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year.
[d]  We have assumed that existing respondents are in compliance with initial rule requirements.  New respondents would have to comply with the initial rule requirements including notifications and performance tests for add-on control devices.
[e]  Performance tests are required for vapor processing and collection systems: Method 27 for pressure, Method 21 for leak detection testing at cargo tanks.  Annual certification test for cargo tanks using Methods 21 and 27 is required.  However, we have assumed that 50 percent of the respondents that are major sources are currently subject to test requirements equivalent to the requirements of Bulk Gasoline Terminal NSPS (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX) and Volatile Organic Liquid (VOL) storage NSPS (40 CFR Part 60, Subparts K, Ka, and Kb) or the storage tank EPA Control Technique Guidelines (CTG) for pipeline breakout stations.
[f]  We have estimated that there is a total of 1,560 area sources (i.e., 1,100 bulk gasoline terminal and 460 pipeline breakout stations), of which 25 percent will be within 50 percent of major source threshold criteria (i.e., 390) and will be required to submit conduct an annual certification testing.
[g]  Respondents that are major sources of HAPs (i.e., 87 bulk terminals and 15 pipeline breakout stations) are required to submit semiannual compliance reports.  We have assumed that 60 percent of the sources (i.e., 61.2 respondents, comprised of 52.2 bulk terminals and 9 pipeline breakout stations) would be required to submit semiannual reports under the NESHAP Subpart R since the remaining 40 percent are already complying with similar reporting requirements under NSPS reporting requirements equivalent to the Bulk Gasoline Terminal NSPS (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX) for bulk terminals and the VOL storage NSPS (40 CFR Part 60, Subparts K, Ka, and Kb) or storage tank CTG's for pipeline breakout stations.
[h]  We have assumed that 60 percent of the 102 respondents (i.e., 61.2) are required to maintain cargo tank implementation files.
[i]  We have assumed that respondents already have the technology and recordkeeping systems in place to monitor its daily operations and to comply with existing regulations.
[j]  We have assumed that 25 percent of area source facilities (i.e., 390) will be required to keep annual records of their area source status using the screening equation.
[k]  We have assumed that 25 percent of respondents (i.e., 22 bulk terminals and 4 pipeline breakout stations) will conduct audits.
[l]  Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:
[a]  We have estimated that there are 102 respondents, including 87 bulk terminals and 15 pipeline breakout stations which are major sources of HAPs, subject to NESHAP Subpart R.  We have further estimated that there are total of 1,560 area sources (i.e., 1,100 bulk gasoline terminal and 460 pipeline breakout stations), of which 25 percent (i.e., 390) would be certifying annually that they are below the cutoff value for rule applicability.
[b]  This cost is based on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $64.16 for Managerial (GS-13, Step 5, $40.10 x 1.6), $47.62 for Technical (GS-12, Step 1, $29.76 x 1.6) and $25.76 Clerical (GS-6, Step 3, $16.10 x 1.6).  These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) "2016 General Schedule" which excludes locality rates of pay.
[c]  We have assumed that existing respondents are in compliance with initial rule requirements.  New respondents would have to comply with the initial rule requirements including notifications and performance tests for add-on control devices.
[d]  We have assumed that 60 percent of the sources (i.e., 61.2) would be required to submit semiannual reports under the NESHAP Subpart R since the remaining 40 percent are already complying with similar reporting requirements under another applicable NSPS rule.
[e]  Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2011-1128]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, Mile Marker 35.2 to Mile
Marker 35.5, Larose, Lafourche Parish, LA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
the specified waters of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, Larose,
Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. This temporary safety Zone is needed to
protect the general public, vessels and tows from destruction, loss or
injury due to the installation of a new sheetpile floodwall on the
waterward side of the existing Larose floodwall and construction of a
new rip-rap barge impact barrier on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway side
of the new floodwall.

DATES: This rule is effective January 25, 2012 through 11:59 p.m. June
30, 2012. This rule is enforceable with actual notice beginning 12:01
a.m. December 12, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule. The Coast Guard received notice of the
timeline for this project on December 2, 2011. This floodwall
construction and repair project is necessary for flood protections;
therefore, the Coast Guard determined that immediate action is needed
to protect the personnel, general public, vessel and tows, and mariners
from hazards associated with the floodwall repair and construction
process. Publishing a NPRM would unnecessarily delay the effective date
for this rule which would be contrary to the public interest. Delaying
this project for the NPRM process would also interfere with the
contractually imposed timeline for repair of the floodwall.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), good cause exists for not providing 30
days notice for this rulemaking. The Coast Guard received notice of the
timeline for this project on December 2, 2011. Based on the necessity
of this floodwall repair and construction project and the repair and
construction timeline presented to the Coast Guard, immediate action is
required. Delaying the effective date would be contrary to public
interest. Delaying or rescheduling the construction and repair to
provide 30 days notice also is impracticable because of the dates the
construction barges may be deployed to the project site. By making the
rule effective immediately upon publication and enforceable with actual
notice on December 12, 2011, the construction and repair of the
floodwall can continue under the applicable contract.

Basis and Purpose

    The US Army Corps of Engineers contracted installation of a new
sheetpile floodwall on the waterward side of the existing Larose
Floodwall and construction of a new rip-rap barge impact barrier on the
waterward side of the new floodwall that will extend approximately 20-
45 feet from the existing wall into the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway,
Mile Markers 35.2-35.5, west of Harvey Locks.

Discussion of Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary Safety Zone in the Gulf
Intracoastal Waterway, Mile Marker 35.2-35.5, bank to bank, West of
Harvey locks, Larose, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. The temporary safety
zone will continue through June 30, 2012. Vessels and tows shall
transit at slowest safe speed to minimize wake and, after leaving the
slowest safe speed zone, proceed with caution to minimize interference
with construction activities. All work on the project is scheduled to
be complete by June 30, 2012.
    Beginning December 12, 2011 thru June 30, 2012 two barges will be
staged on the south side of the waterway at all times but will remain
clear of the main channel limit. Notices to Mariners, regarding channel
restrictions and closures, will be updated as the project progresses
and as the information becomes available. Mariners can contact the
contractor via VHF-FM channel 69. Mariners shall transit at their
slowest safe speed to minimize wake and proceed with caution while
passing through the construction area.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management
and Budget has not reviewed it under that those Orders.
    This rule creates a safety zone implementing slowest safe speed to
minimize wake. Vessels will be allowed to enter and transit through the
area. Advance notifications to the marine community regarding this
safety zone and any restrictions or closures related to the floodwall
repair and construction project will be made through Broadcast Notice
to Mariners and Local Notice to Mariners. The impacts on routine
navigation are expected to be minimal.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit

organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not
dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with
populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This rule will affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit through the Safety Zone through June 30, 2012. This Safety Zone
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities because this rule will be in effect for only a short
period of time.
    If you are a small business entity and are significantly affected
by this regulation, please contact ENS Nicholas Jones, Marine Safety
Unit Houma, at<PHONE_NUMBER> ext. 232.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-(888) 734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(g), of the Instruction. This rule will be in effect until June 30,
2012, but is not expected to result in any significant adverse
environmental impact as described in NEPA.
    An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination will be provided and made available at the docket as
indicated in the ADDRESSES section.
