Title: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Petroleum

Refinery Wastewater Systems (Subpart QQQ)-Reporting and Recordkeeping

(EPA ICR # 1136.04; OMB # 2060-0172). This is a request for renewal of

a currently approved information collection.

Abstract: Owners or operators of petroleum refinery wastewater

systems must notify EPA or the delegated State regulatory authority of

construction, modification, startup, shutdown, malfunction, and the

date and results of the initial performance test. Owners or operators

of petroleum refinery wastewater systems are required to keep records

of design and operating specifications of all equipment installed to

comply with the standards such as water seals, covers, roof seals and

control devices. Owners or operators must submit semiannual

certification reports indicating that all emission detection tests and

visual inspections required by the standards are carried out. EPA or

the delegated State regulatory authority uses this information to

ensure that equipment design and operating specifications are met.

Burden Statement: The public reporting burden for this collection

of information is estimated to average 25 hours per response for

reporting, and 78 hours per recordkeeper annually. This estimate

includes the time needed to review instructions, search existing data

sources, gather the data needed and review the collection of

information.

Respondents: Owners or operators of petroleum refinery wastewater

systems.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 120.

Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 2.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 15,511 hours.

Frequency of Collection: Semiannually and on occasion.
