What Information Collection Activity or
ICR Does This Apply to?
Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2010–
0328
Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are manufacturers
of portable fuel containers.
Title: Control of Evaporative
Emissions from New and In-Use
Portable Gasoline Containers (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2213.03,
OMB Control No. 2060–0597.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on June 30, 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, 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: EPA is required under
Section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act to
regulate Volatile Organic Compound
(VOC) emissions from the use of
consumer and commercial products.
Under regulations promulgated on
February 26, 2007 (72 FR 8428)
manufacturers of new portable gasoline
containers are required to obtain
certificates of conformity with the Clean
Air Act, effective January 1, 2009. This
ICR covers the burdens associated with
this certification process. EPA reviews
information submitted in the
application for certification to
determine if the container design
conforms to applicable requirements
and to verify that the required testing
has been performed. The certificate
holder is required to keep records on the
testing and collect and keep warranty
and defect information for annual
reporting on in-use performance of their
products. The respondent must also
retain records on the units produced,
apply serial numbers to individual
containers, and track the serial numbers
to their certificates of conformity. Any
information submitted for which a claim
of confidentiality is made is safeguarded
according to EPA regulations at 40 CFR
2.201 et seq.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 63.8 hours for an
average of two responses per year.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:27 Apr 13, 2010
Jkt 220001
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
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.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 10.
Frequency of response: Yearly.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 2.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
638
Estimated total annual costs: $25,206.
This includes an estimated labor burden
cost of $24,687 and an estimated cost of
$519 for capital investment or
maintenance and operational costs.
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
technical person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
