This ICR covers information collection
requirements in the final Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) for Oil
and Natural Gas Well Production Facilities; Uintah and Ouray Indian
Reservation (UOIR) in Utah (40 CFR Part 49, Subpart K, 49.4182).
The information collected will be used by EPA and delegated tribal
agencies to determine the compliance status of sources subject to
the rule, which require owners and operators of new, modified, and
existing minor oil and natural gas production facilities producing
on the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation in the Uinta Basin to
reduce emissions of VOC, from crude oil, condensate, and produced
water storage tanks, from glycol dehydrators, from pneumatic pumps,
from pneumatic controllers, and from tanker truck loading and
unloading. Oil and natural gas production facilities may also
contain other VOC-emitting units or activities that include, but
are not limited to, compressors, evaporation ponds, two and
three-phase separators, heater treaters, liquids unloading,
turbines, and reciprocating internal combustion engines. This rule
does not contain requirements for, or otherwise apply to, those
types of equipment. Additionally, this rule creates a streamlined
permitting mechanism for new or modified sources. However, the FIPs
new/modified source permitting requirements are generally
consistent with those requirements under the New Source Performance
Standards (NSPS) for the Oil and Natural Gas Sector at 40 CFR Part
60, subparts OOOO and OOOOa (NSPS OOOO/OOOOa), and the Federal
Minor New Source Review Program in Indian Country at 40 CFR Part 49
(Federal Indian Country Minor NSR Program) . The costs associated
with the monitoring, recording, and recordkeeping for new/modified
sources is calculated under the existing ICRs for OOOO and OOOOa.
The potential respondents are owners or operators of oil and
natural gas production facilities found throughout the UOIR. In
general, owners or operators are required to maintain records of
all oil and natural gas well completions, required monitoring, and
rule compliance. The UOIR FIP also requires annual reports
containing information for each oil and natural gas production
facility, including a summary of all required records identifying
each oil and natural gas well completion conducted during the
reporting period, and a summary of all instances where construction
or operation was not performed in compliance with the requirements
of the UOIR FIP during the reporting period. Additionally, a
triennial summary emissions inventory is required for each facility
covered under this rulemaking. These reports and records are
essential in determining compliance, and are required of all
sources subject to the UOIR FIP.
