EPA has
submitted the following ICR to OMB for
review and approval according to the
procedures prescribed in 5 CFR 1320.12.
On November 20, 2007 (72 FR 65327),
EPA sought comments on this ICR
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.8(d). EPA
received no comments. Any additional
comments on this ICR should be
submitted to EPA and OMB within 30
days of this notice.
EPA has established a public docket
for this ICR under Docket ID No. EPA–
HQ–OAR–2007–1121, which is
available for online viewing at
www.regulations.gov, or in person
viewing at the Air and Radiation Docket
in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC),
EPA West, Room 3334, 1301
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington,
DC. The EPA/DC 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
Reading Room is 202–566–1744, and the

Title: Fuel Quality Regulations for
Diesel Fuel Sold in 2001 & Later Years;
for Tax-Exempt (Dyed) Highway Diesel
Fuel; & Nonroad Locomotive & Marine
Diesel Fuel (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1718.08,
OMB Control No. 2060–0308.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on January 31, 2008. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to
conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is
pending at OMB. An Agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

information, unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The OMB control numbers for EPA’s
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after
appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9,
are displayed either by publication in
the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the
related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control
numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: This ICR covers
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements for motor vehicle diesel
fuel and non-road, locomotive, and
marine diesel fuel. It also includes
recordkeeping and reporting associated
with the placement of codes on dyed
diesel fuel (the dye is required under
IRS regulations). The main purpose for
recordkeeping and reporting is to ensure
compliance with the regulations at 40
CFR Part 80, Subpart I—Motor Vehicle,
Non-Road, Locomotive and Marine
Diesel Fuel. Because the diesel fuel
regulations are written to permit several
types of flexibility, periodic reporting
(annual and quarterly) is necessary in
order for EPA to monitor compliance.
Most reporting is mandatory. Parties
may assert a claim of business
confidentiality and submissions covered
by such a claim will be treated in
accordance with procedures at 40 CFR
Part 2 and established Agency
procedures.
With this ICR the Office of Air and
Radiation (OAR) is also seeking
permission to collect applications from
refiners, importers, and independent
laboratories in order to permit them to
use performance-based test methods for
measuring sulfur in diesel fuel and
detecting the presence of a marker in
diesel sold as heating oil. This was
previously covered by EPA ICR Number
2180.02 (2060–0566), but since the
entire burden in that ICR is related to
motor vehicle and non-road diesel fuel,
we are including it in this ICR and will
terminate 2180.02 upon approval.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 0.62 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
E:\FR\FM\24JAN1.SGM
24JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 16 / Thursday, January 24, 2008 / Notices
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; 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.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Businesses and other for-profits in the
private sector.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
4,875.
Frequency of Response: Annual,
quarterly, and/or on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
264,150.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$2,626,000 (all purchased services).
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
net decrease of 48,083 hours and
$5,874,000 in the total estimated burden
currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
The change in burden hours reflects a
decrease of 51,683 hours due to agency
adjustment and an increase of 3,600
hours due to agency discretion. The
additional 3,600 hours cover
performance-based test methods
previously counted under ICR 2180.02.
The reduction in hours is due mostly to
reporting requirements that applied at
the start of the program that are no
longer applicable to most parties (e.g.,
initial registration, application for
flexibilities like small refiner status).

Abstract: As part of the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990, the U.S. Congress
included, as part of Section 507, the
requirement that each state establish a
Small Business Stationary Source
Technical and Environmental
Compliance Assistance Program to
assist small businesses in complying
with the Act. These programs are
generally known as state Small Business
Environmental Assistance Programs
(SBEAP). EPA must provide the
Congress with periodic reports from the
EPA Small Business Ombudsman (SBO)
on these programs, including their
effectiveness, difficulties encountered,
and other relevant information. Each
state assistance program will submit
requested information to EPA for
compilation and summarization. This
collection of information is mandatory
under Section 507(a), (d), and (e) of the
Clean Air Act as amended in 1990,
Public Law 101–549, November 15,
1990. This Act directs EPA to monitor
