                             SUPPORTING STATEMENT
Standards of Performance for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Facilities for which Construction, Modification or Reconstruction Commenced After November 15, 2021.
                        (40 CFR part 60, subpart OOOOb)

PART A
1.0	Identification of the Information Collection
(a)	Title and Number of the Information Collection.
	The title of the Information Collection Request (ICR) is Standards of Performance for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Facilities for Construction, Modification, or Reconstruction Commenced After November 15, 2021 (with the exception of centrifugal compressor affected facilities equipped with dry seals) (40 CFR part 60, subpart OOOOb), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tracking number is 2523.05, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 2060-0721. Centrifugal compressor affected facilities that use dry seals are subject to the applicable provisions of this subpart if construction, modification, or reconstruction is commenced after the date of publication of the supplemental proposal in the Federal Register.
(b)	Short Characterization.
      This supplemental proposal is issued for the Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review to update, strengthen, and expand the standards proposed on November 15, 2021 (November 2021 proposal), for methane and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. First, the EPA proposes to reduce emissions from the source category more comprehensively by adding proposed standards for certain sources that were not addressed in the November 2021 proposal, revising the proposed requirements for fugitive emissions monitoring and repair, and establishing a super-emitter response program. Second, the EPA proposes revisions to the alternative standards for fugitive emissions monitoring and repair that would encourage the deployment of innovative technologies and techniques for detecting and reducing methane emissions by providing additional options for the use of advanced monitoring. Third, the EPA proposes to modify and refine certain elements of the proposed standards in response to concerns and information submitted in public comments on the November 2021 proposal. Finally, the EPA provides additional information not included in the November 2021 proposal for public comment, such as the proposed regulatory text for the new subpart.
      This ICR reflects the EPA's proposed new source performance standards (NSPS) for a wide range of emissions sources in the Crude Oil and Natural Gas source category (to be codified in 40 CFR part 60 subpart OOOOb). The information collected will be used by the EPA and delegated state and local agencies to determine the compliance status of affected facilities subject to the rule. Some of the proposed standards resulted from the EPA's review of the current NSPS codified at 40 CFR part 60 subpart OOOOa (NSPS OOOOa), while others were proposed standards for additional emissions sources that are currently unregulated.
      The respondents include owners or operators of onshore oil and natural gas affected facilities (40 CFR 60.5365b) and third-party entities that voluntarily apply to become certified to provide documented identified of a super-emitter emissions event. For the purposes of this ICR, it is assumed that oil and natural gas affected facilities located in the United States are owned and operated by the oil and natural gas industry (the "Affected Public"), and that none of the affected facilities in the United States are owned or operated by state, local, tribal or the Federal government. All affected facilities are assumed to be privately owned for-profit businesses.
      The EPA estimates an average of 1,849 respondents will be affected by NSPS OOOOb over the three-year period (2023-2025). The average annual burden for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements for these owners and operators is 883,625 person-hours, with an average annual cost of $58,474,899over the three-year period (2023-2025).
2.	Need For and Use of the Collection
(a)	Need/Authority for the Collection.
      The EPA is charged under section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, to establish standards of performance for new stationary sources that reflect:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            . . . application of the best technological system of continuous emissions reduction which (taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emissions reduction, or any non-air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator determines has been adequately demonstrated. Section 111(a)(l).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Agency refers to this charge as selecting the best system of emissions reduction (BSER). Section 111 of the CAA also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards every 8 years.
      In addition, section 114(a) of the CAA states that the Administrator may require any owner or operator subject to any requirement of this Act to:
          establish and maintain such records;
          make such reports;
          install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment;
          use such audit procedures, or methods;
          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);
          keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical;
          submit compliance certifications in accordance with section 114(a)(3) of the CAA; and
          provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonably require.
The information collection activities under the proposed NSPS OOOOb are necessary for the Administrator to confirm the compliance status of new and modified oil and natural gas affected facilities. These recordkeeping and reporting requirements are authorized by CAA section 114.
(b)	Practical Utility/Users of the Data.
	The information will be used by the delegated authority (state agency, or Regional Administrator if there is no delegated state agency) to ensure that the standards and other requirements of NSPS OOOOb are being achieved. Based on review of the recorded information at the site and the reported information, the delegated permitting authority can identify affected facilities that may not be in compliance and decide which affected facilities, records, or processes may need inspection.
3.	Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria
(a)	Nonduplication.
      No other regulation currently requires the same information under this ICR from owners/operators subject to the requirements of this subpart. In the event that certain reports required by state or local agency may duplicate information required by this subpart, 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, no duplication exists.
(b)	Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB.
	The preamble for the proposed NSPS OOOOb provides public notice of this proposed ICR. The EPA will consider comments when preparing the final ICR. The preamble to the final rule will provide public notice on the revised ICR.
(c)	Consultations.
      In developing the proposed NSPS OOOOb, the EPA performed a comprehensive review of existing state rules and industry standards, consulted with individual companies and trade organizations, state agencies, and environmental groups, and consider public comments from a variety of interests. The main organizations that provided expert advice during the development of this rule include the Agency's industry experts.
(d)	Effects of Less Frequent Collection.
      Respondents must monitor all specified criteria at each affected facility and maintain these records for 2 years, as specified under 40 CFR 60.7. The reporting frequency to the EPA has been established/amended to minimize the burden on owners and operators of affected facilities. If the information required by NSPS OOOOb were collected less frequently, the likelihood of detecting violations would be reduced.
(e)	General Guidelines.
      This collection of information is consistent with all OMB guidelines established by OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.
(f)	Confidentiality.
	All information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the EPA regulations set forth in 40 CFR 2.201 et seq., Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B-Confidentiality of Business Information.
(g)	Sensitive Questions.
	This section is not applicable because this ICR does not involve matters of a sensitive nature.
4.	The Respondents and the Information Requested
(a)	Respondents/NAICS Codes.

5.	The Information Collected - Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management
(a)	Agency Activities.
	The federal government (EPA) activities associated with the proposed amendments to NSPS OOOOb are provided in Tables 2a-2d (located at the end of this supporting statement) and are introduced in section 6(c).
(b)	Collection Methodology and Management.
	Data and records maintained by the respondents for semiannual and annual reports are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs of the delegated permitting authority. Information contained in the reports will be required to be submitted electronically to EPA's Central DATA Exchange (CDX) using the CEDRI. CDX enables fast, efficient and more accurate environmental data submissions from state and local governments, industry and tribes to EPA and participating program offices. EPA's CDX is the point of entry on the Environmental Information Exchange Network (Exchange Network) for environmental data submissions to the Agency. CDX works with both EPA program offices looking for a way to better manage incoming data, and stakeholders looking for a way to reduce burden from reporting requirements. Appendix B includes the CEDRI electronic portal for submitting reports under 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOOOb. The electronic portal to submit reports online is accessed through the EPA's CDX at https://cdx.epa.gov. The spreadsheet templates created by the EPA to facilitate annual reporting for Oil and Gas Facilities under 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOOOb can be obtained at https://www.epa.gov/electronic-reporting-air-emissions/cedri#list as well as https://www.epa.gov/controlling-air-pollution-oil-and-natural-gas-industry/implementation-oil-and-natural-gas-air#report.
	For super-emitter emissions events, the EPA will establish a separate website where it will make notifications of super-emitter emissions events and reports, in response to those notifications, publicly available. That website has not yet been established but will be provided at a later date.
(c)	Small Entity Flexibility.
      The EPA performed a screening analysis for impacts on a sample of expected affected small entities by comparing compliance costs to entity revenues. The impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. The EPA has tried to reduce the impact of this proposed rule on small entities by specifying monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are the minimum necessary to ensure compliance.
(d)	Collection Schedule.
	The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown in Tables 1a-1d.
6.	Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection
(a)	Estimating Respondent Burden.
	The annual burden estimates for the proposed NSPS OOOOb are shown in Tables 1a-1d. These numbers are based on the estimated number of affected facilities that would be subject to the requirements of the NSPS from years 2023 to 2025.
(b)	Estimating Respondent Costs.
       (i)	Estimating Labor Costs.
      This ICR uses the following labor rates: $49.56 per hour for technical labor, $120.52 per hour for management labor, and $47.40 for clerical labor. These rates include an increase of 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. These rates are from the May 2021 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates United States published by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm). Costs have been estimated in 2019 dollars for this ICR, which is consistent with the costs (i.e., cost of control) estimated in the supporting documents developed for the proposed NSPS OOOOb.
	The information collection activities for NSPS OOOOb are presented in Tables 1a-1d. Because the data are already collected by respondents as part of normal operations, no respondent costs are associated with information collection activities.
	(ii)	Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.
      A significant capital cost component to the fugitives monitoring program, is the cost and set-up of a recordkeeping system database. The recordkeeping system database is a key part of the fugitives monitoring program where regular Audio, Visual and Olfactory (AVO) and optical gas imaging (OGI) monitoring is required. Because extensive records are required for each fugitive emissions survey that is conducted it is critical that an appropriate data management system is used in order to manage the compliance data collected. The capital cost associated with the initial set-up of the database recordkeeping system was estimated at $19,728. This one-time cost is accounted for in the first-year capital costs for each new well site with two or more wellheads that is subject to quarterly AVO and semiannually OGI monitoring, well sites and centralized production facilities with major production and processing equipment subject to bimonthly AVO and quarterly OGI monitoring, and compressor stations subject to monthly AVO and quarterly OGI monitoring. Consistent with the analyses used for the 2016 NSPS OOOOa and 2020 Technical Rule, the EPA assumes that each company will develop a monitoring plan and recordkeeping system that covers a company-defined area, which is assumed to include 22 well sites, 7 gathering and boosting stations, or one transmission or storage station. This assumption is used because there are several elements of the fugitive monitoring program that are not site-specific. Under the proposed OOOOb, single wellhead only well sites and small well sites are subject to quarterly AVO monitoring only and would be required to develop a simple spreadsheet in order to track inspections.
(c)	Estimating Agency Burden and Cost.
	Because reporting and recordkeeping requirements on the part of the respondents are required under the operating permits rules in 40 CFR part 70 or part 71 and the part 60 NSPS General Provisions, no operational costs will be incurred by the Federal Government. Examination of records to be maintained by the respondents will occur incidentally as part of the periodic inspection of facilities that is part of EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program, and, therefore, is not attributable to the ICR. The only costs that the Federal government will incur are user costs associated with the analysis of the reported information, as presented in Tables 2a-2d.
This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:
		Managerial	$70.56 (GS-13, Step 5, $44.10 + 60%)
		Technical	$52.37 (GS-12, Step 1, $32.73 + 60%)
		Clerical	$28.34 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.71 + 60%)
      These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2022 General Schedule rates of pay, which excludes locality. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees.
(d)	Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs.
      It was estimated that an average of 1,849 respondents per year will be subject to NSPS OOOOb during the 3-year period of this ICR as shown in the following table below. This estimate encompasses the number of companies that the EPA expects will submit reports on behalf of all its well sites (Note: each company is assumed to own 22 well sites, 7 gathering and boosting stations, or one transmission or storage station), and the number of third-party entities that the EPA expects will apply to be certified as notifiers of super-emitter emissions events. The average annual number of respondents per year is calculated using the following table.

                                     Year
                         Annual Number of Respondents
                                   1 (2023)
                                     1,238

                                     1,849

      For the NSPS OOOOb, the components of the total annual responses attributable to this ICR are notifications of well completions/recompletions from an estimated average of 12,693 companies over the three-year period, notification of construction, reconstruction and modification from an average of 16 companies over the three-year period, annual reports from an average of 1,810 companies over the three-year period, and semiannual reports from an average of 34 companies over the three-year period. (Processing facilities report semiannually, all others annually).
      The average number of annual responses per year is calculated using the following table.

                                    14,841
[a]The EPA assumes each facility will make the appropriate notifications and that each respondent will submit the annual or semiannual report for all affected facilities in each year.
[b]Per §60.5420b(a)(2), notifications are required for each well completion/recompletion. Therefore, the estimated number of respondents is based on the estimated number of well completions/recompletions.

(e)	Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables.
      (i)	Respondent tally. The bottom-line respondent burden hours and costs for the three years (2023-2025) covered by this ICR are presented in Table 1d (located at the end of this supporting statement). The average annual burden for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements in NSPS OOOOb for the estimated 1,849 respondents that are subject to the rule is 883,625 labor hours, with an annual average labor cost of $58,474,899.
	(ii)	The Agency Tally. The average annual Federal Government cost is $733,461for 14,362 labor hours for NSPS OOOOb. The bottom-line Agency burden hours and costs, presented in Table 2d, are calculated from Tables 2a-2c by adding person-hours per year down each column for technical, managerial, and clerical staff, and by adding down the cost column.
	(iii)	Variations in the annual bottom line. This section does not apply since no significant variation is anticipated.
(f)	Reasons for Change in Burden.
	This section does not apply because this is a new ICR.
(g)	Burden Statement
	The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 60 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 not conduct or 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 view comments received 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, the EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number [EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0317]. An electronic version of the public docket is available at http://www.regulations.gov/ which may be used to obtain a copy of the collection of information, view public comments submitted, access the index listing of the contents of the docket, and to access those documents in the public docket that are available electronically. When in the system, select "search," then key in the docket ID number identified in this document. The documents are typically available for public viewing at EPA Docket Center Room 3334, EPA WJC West Building, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC. EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the telephone number for the EPA Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Appendix B

       EPA's Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting (CEDRI) Interface

Appendix C

      Instructions for submitting reports to the EPA via CEDRI per 60.5420b(c)(11):
      (11) You must submit reports to the EPA via CEDRI, except as outlined below. (CEDRI can be accessed through the EPA's CDX (https://cdx.epa.gov/).) The EPA will make all the information submitted through CEDRI available to the public without further notice to you. Do not use CEDRI to submit information you claim as CBI. Anything submitted using CEDRI cannot later be claimed CBI. You must use the appropriate electronic report in CEDRI for this subpart or an alternate electronic file format consistent with the extensible markup language (XML) schema listed on the CEDRI website (https://www.epa.gov/electronic-reporting-air-emissions/cedri/). If the reporting form specific to this subpart is not available in CEDRI at the time that the report is due, you must submit the report to the Administrator at the appropriate address listed in §60.4. Once the form has been available in CEDRI for at least 90 calendar days, you must begin submitting all subsequent reports via CEDRI. The reports must be submitted by the deadlines specified in this subpart, regardless of the method in which the reports are submitted. Although we do not expect persons to assert a claim of CBI, if you wish to assert a CBI claim, submit a complete report generated using the appropriate form in CEDRI or an alternate electronic file consistent with the XML schema listed on the EPA's CEDRI website, including information claimed to be CBI, on a compact disc, flash drive, or other commonly used electronic storage medium to the EPA. The electronic medium shall be clearly marked as CBI and mailed to U.S. EPA/OAQPS/CORE CBI Office, Attention: Group Leader, Fuels and Incineration Group, MD C404-02, 4930 Old Page Rd., Durham, NC 27703. The same file with the CBI omitted shall be submitted to the EPA via CEDRI. All CBI claims must be asserted at the time of submission. Furthermore, under CAA section 114(c), emissions data is not entitled to confidential treatment, and the EPA is required to make emissions data available to the public. Thus, emissions data will not be protected as CBI and will be made publicly available.

[Docket No. OR20-4-000]

Phillips 66 Pipeline LLC; Notice of Request for Emergency Relief

    Take notice that on November 27, 2019, NGL Supply Wholesale, LLC
(NGL) filed a request for the Commission to exercise its emergency
powers pursuant to Section 1(15) of the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA),
to allow, or if necessary direct, Phillips 66 Pipeline LLC (Phillips 66
Pipeline) to temporarily provide priority treatment of propane
shipments to Jefferson City, Missouri and East St. Louis, Illinois. NGL
submits that early weather conditions requiring propane for heating and
high moisture grain requiring propane for crop drying have driven
demand for propane by NGL's customers. Specifically, NGL requests that
the Commission direct Phillips 66 Pipeline to prioritize the
transportation of propane over butane in its Blue Line to maximize the
volume of propane for thirty days from the date of a Commission order,
subject to further extensions if the conditions continue.
    Notice is given that the deadline pursuant to 18 CFR 343.3 for
filing comments is hereby shortened to and including December 6, 2019.

file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of

considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices,
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper using the eFiling link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an
