What Information Is EPA Particularly
Interested in?
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act, EPA
specifically solicits comments and
information to enable it to:
(i) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(ii) evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses. In
particular, EPA is requesting comments
from very small businesses (those that
employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA
could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses
affected by this collection.
What Should I Consider When I
Prepare My Comments for EPA?
You may find the following
suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
1. Explain your views as clearly as
possible and provide specific examples.
2. Describe any assumptions that you
used.
3. Provide copies of any technical
information and/or data you used that
support your views.
4. If you estimate potential burden or
costs, explain how you arrived at the
estimate that you provide.
5. Offer alternative ways to improve
the collection activity.
6. Make sure to submit your
comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA,

assigned to this action in the subject
line on the first page of your response.
You may also provide the name, date,
and Federal Register citation.
What Information Collection Activity or
ICR Does This Apply to?
Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are refiner and
importers, gasoline terminals, pipelines,
and users of research and development
(R& D) gasoline.
Title: Sulfur Content of Motor Vehicle
Gasoline under Tier 2 Rule.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1907.05,
OMB Control No. 2060–0437.
ICR status: This ICR will expire on
July 31, 2010. An Agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of
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,
and 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: With this information
collection request (ICR) renewal, we are
seeking permission to continue to
accept notifications from refiners and
importers as they relate to gasoline
sulfur content of motor vehicles under
§ 211(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act and EPA
regulation of 2003 40 CFR part 80,
subpart H; and to provide a compliance
option whereby a refiner or importer
may demonstrate compliance with the
gasoline sulfur control requirement via
test results. These provisions, which
have been in effect since 2003, are
designed to grant compliance flexibility.
The current ICR approval expires July
31, 2010. We are requesting that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) renew this ICR and request that
it be effective three years after approval.
Burden Statement: The annual hourly
reporting and recordkeeping burden and
cost for this collection of information is
estimated to be 38,573 hours and
$2,573,954, respectively. The total
number of responses for this ICR is
estimated to be 37,665. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by a person to
generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to (or for) a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install, and utilize technology
and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying

information; to process and maintain
information; to disclose and provide
information; to adjust the existing ways
to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; to train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information;
and to transmit or otherwise disclose
the information.
Are There Changes in the Estimates
From the Last Approval?
This submittal is a renewal of the ICR
for the Tier 2 gasoline sulfur rule.
We do not estimate a change in
burden associated with renewal of this
information collection request.
However, there is a change in the
Agency burden which increased by
$1,070.
What Is the Next Step in the Process for
This ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
