Title: Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements for Motor Vehicle and Non-Road Diesel Fuel. ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1718.09, OMB Control No. 2060–0308. ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire December 31, 2011. 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. They are also displayed by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form. 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.

Parties may assert a claim of business confidentiality and E:\FR\FM\18AUN1.SGM 18AUN1 51364 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 160 / Thursday, August 18, 2011 / Notices submissions covered by such a claim will be treated in accordance with procedures at 40 CFR part 2 and established Agency procedures. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average less than one hour 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. A document entitled ‘‘Proposed Supporting Statement—Part A: Recordkeepking and Reporting Related to Fuel Quality Regulations for Diesel Fuel Sold in 2001 & Later Years; for Tax-Exempt (Dyed) Highway Diesel Fuel; and Non-Road Locomotive & Marine Diesel Fuel: Renewal’’ has been placed in Docket No. EPA–HQ–OAR– 2007–1121. This draft document provides a more detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 6,806. Frequency of response: Annual, quarterly and/or on occasion. Estimated total number of responses: 265,406. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 39. Estimated total annual burden hours: 18,950. Estimated total annual costs: $2,044,300. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval? There is a decrease in the total estimated respondent burden and cost compared to the currently approved ICR. Most of the decrease is because motor vehicle diesel reporting requirements are no longer applicable and because virtually all laboratory qualifications for test methods have already been submitted to, and acted upon by, EPA. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:04 Aug 17, 2011 Jkt 223001 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. Dated: August 12, 2011.

2011. 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

Recordkeepking and Reporting Related to Fuel Quality Regulations for 
Diesel Fuel Sold in 2001 & Later Years; for Tax-Exempt (Dyed) Highway 
Diesel Fuel; and Non-Road Locomotive & Marine Diesel Fuel: Renewal'' 
has been placed in Docket No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-1121. This draft document 
provides a more detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, which is 
only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 6,806.
    Frequency of response: Annual, quarterly and/or on occasion.
    Estimated total number of responses: 265,406.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 
39.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 18,950.
    Estimated total annual costs: $2,044,300.

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    There is a decrease in the total estimated respondent burden and 
cost compared to the currently approved ICR. Most of the decrease is 
because motor vehicle diesel reporting requirements are no longer 
applicable and because virtually all laboratory qualifications for test 
methods have already been submitted to, and acted upon by, EPA.

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.

    Dated: August 12, 2011.

Acting Director, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of
