Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Mandatory ICR Continues for Marine Loaders
If you operate a marine tank vessel loading operation at a marine terminal, the EPA is proposing to extend the mandatory information collection (ICR) for NESHAP for Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations (OMB Control Number 2060-0289). The EPA estimates 804 respondents, a total burden of 10,700 hours per year, and total annual cost of $1,350,000; comments are due February 18, 2025 and the current approval runs through February 28, 2025.
Who Is Covered: Emissions and Throughput Tests
The NESHAP applies to facilities that load marine tank vessels with petroleum or gasoline and that have aggregate actual hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions of 10 tons or more of any single HAP, or 25 tons or more of all HAP combined. Reasonably available control technology (RACT) standards apply to facilities with annual throughput of 10,000,000 or more barrels of gasoline or 200,000,000 or more barrels of crude oil.
No New Costs or Regulatory Changes Planned
EPA states there is no change in burden from the most-recently approved ICR, no annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs, and that the regulations have not changed and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. The extension would continue current paperwork requirements without adding new costs.
