Title: Registration of Fuels and Fuel
Additives: Requirements for
Manufacturers (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0309.13,
OMB Control No. 2060–0150.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on July 31, 2010. 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
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: In accordance with the
regulations at 40 CFR part 79, subparts
A, B C, and D, Registration of Fuels and
Fuel Additives, manufacturers
(including importers) of motor-vehicle
gasoline, motor-vehicle diesel fuel and
additives for those fuels are required to
have these products registered by the
EPA prior to their introduction into
commerce. Registration involves
providing a chemical description of the
fuel or additive, and certain technical,
marketing, and health-effects
information. The development of
health-effects data, as required by 40
CFR part 79, subpart F, is covered by a
separate information collection.
Manufacturers are also required to
submit periodic reports (annually for
additives, quarterly and annually for
fuels) on production volume and related
information. The information is used to
identify products whose evaporative or
combustion emissions may pose an
unreasonable risk to public health, thus
meriting further investigation and
potential regulation. The information is
also used to ensure that gasoline
additives comply with EPA
requirements for protecting catalytic
converters and other automotive
emission controls. The data have been
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:17 Jun 21, 2010
Jkt 220001
used to construct a comprehensive data
base on fuel and additive composition.
Most of the information is confidential.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average two 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
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:
Manufacturers of Fuels and Fuel
Additives.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,500.
Frequency of Response: On Occasion,
quarterly, annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
19,700.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2.2
million, which includes $0.04 million
annualized capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 2,550 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This increase is due to an
increase in the number of registered
fuels.
Dated: June 16, 2010.

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 scheduled to
expire on June 30, 2010. 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
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: 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 fuel
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 to report successful

warranty claims annually. 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 18 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
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:
Importers (including Independent
Commercial Importers) of light duty
vehicles or engines, light duty trucks or
engines, and highway motorcycles or
engines.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
10.
Frequency of Response: Annual and
on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
213.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$20,439, including $10,519 annualized
capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The request
lowers the hour burden by 425, from
638 to 213 and increases the O&M and
capital cost request from $519 to
$10,519. These changes largely result
from reallocation of contracted testing
costs from labor to O&M and adjustment
of the reporting burden to reflect that
the normal certificate term is five years
rather than one, as assumed in the prior
request.
