Abstract: EPA is amending the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Equipment Leaks of VOC in Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR part 60, subpart GGG) and the NSPS for Equipment Leaks of VOC in the SOCMI (40 CFR part 60, subpart VV). EPA is also promulgating new standards in subparts VVa and GGGa. NSPS Subpart GGG references NSPS Subpart VV for compliance; NSPS Subpart GGGa references NSPS Subpart VVa for compliance. This information collection request (ICR) builds on the previously approved ICR by convering the information collection requirements for sources subject to subpart GGG and the additional reporting and recordkeeping provisions required for sources subject to subpart GGGa. Potential respondents include 45 existing sources and 10 new sources per year over the next three years. Under the new standards in subpart GGGa, sources are required to maintain records of daily instrument calibration drift checks, all instrument readings, and the results of weekly pump inspections.
