Download as PDF pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 212 / Thursday, November 1, 2012 / Notices reviewing our decision, we discovered that our analysis regarding the emission impacts of TOLAD MFA–10A was inadvertently based on the minimum treat rate of 25 mg/l, whereas Baker Hughes requested and provided data for TOLAD MFA–10A at a concentration of 42.7 mg/l.3 This correction notice therefore explains how our decision to approve TOLAD MFA–10A as an alternative corrosion inhibitor under the OCTAMIX waiver is still appropriate when using a concentration of 42.7 mg/ l. With regards to the question of the emission impacts of using TOLAD MFA–10A, its treat rate of 42.7 mg/l is the same as the treat rate of TOLAD MFA–10, the original corrosion inhibitor approved under the OCTAMIX waiver. The chemical composition and the treat rate of TOLAD MFA–10A at 42.7 mg/l, which is less than 0.01 mass percent by weight, is such that it qualifies as a fuel additive falling under the baseline gasoline fuel category 4 under our fuel and fuel additive registration regulations. In addition, the chemical composition and treat rate of TOLAD MFA–10A at 42.7 mg/l is such that it meets our substantially similar definition.5 Given that TOLAD MFA– 10A at a concentration of 42.7 mg/l is a fuel additive that is both substantially similar to fuel additives used in our certification program and a fuel additive falling under our baseline gasoline fuel category, one would not expect significant emission changes from the use of TOLAD MFA–10A compared to other fuel additives that fall under the baseline gasoline fuel category, which also includes TOLAD MFA–10, DMA– 67 and TXCeed. Therefore, as long as the other conditions of the OCTAMIX waiver are met, which include applicable volatility specifications, gasoline phase separation specifications, and alcohol purity conditions, the Agency believes that the use of TOLAD MFA–10A in place of TOLAD MFA–10 will allow engines and vehicles to remain compliant with their emissions standards when using fuels made as approved under the original conditions granted for the OCTAMIX waiver. The Agency therefore modifies condition (3) of the OCTAMIX waiver to read as follows: (3) Any one of the following four corrosion inhibitors must be included: (a) Petrolite’s corrosion inhibitor formulation, TOLAD MFA–10, blended 3 NACE Standard TM–01–72. 40 CFR 79.56(e)(3)(i). 5 For our most recent substantially similar gasoline interpretive rule, please see: https:// www.epa.gov/fedrgst/EPA-AIR/2008/April/Day-25/ a8944.pdf. 4 See VerDate Mar<15>2010 11:20 Oct 31, 2012 Jkt 229001 in the final fuel at 42.7 milligrams/liter (mg/l); or (b) DuPont’s corrosion inhibitor formulation, DMA–67, blended in the final fuel at 31.4 mg/l; or (c) Spirit of 21st Century LLC’s corrosion inhibitor formulation, TXCeed, blended in the final fuel at 3.9 ml/gal (987.6 mg/l); or (d) Baker Hughes’s corrosion inhibitor formulation, TOLAD MFA–10A, blended in the final fuel at 42.7 mg/l. III. Do any of the statutory and executive order reviews apply to this action? This final decision corrects an error in our emissions impact analysis for TOLAD MFA–10A at 42.7 mg/l as well as corrects an error in the required treat rate of TOLAD MFA–10A at 42.7 mg/l for use with the OCTAMIX waiver. This final decision does not otherwise change the requirements in the June 14, 2012 decision notice. As a correction, this action is not subject to the statutory and Executive Order review requirements. For information about the statutory and Executive Order review requirements as they related to the final decision, see the Unit IV, in the Federal Register of June 14, 2012.6 Dated: October 25, 2012.

OGE received 408 requests during the six-month period from the initial launch of the new automated Office of Government Ethics Form 201 in March through August 2012. OGE then added the total number of access requests received by all other executive branch agencies, for a similar length of time, during the most recent period (calendar year 2011) for which executive branchwide statistics are available, which was 215 such requests. The total number of access request forms received by all executive branch agencies, including OGE, in a 6-month period totaled 623.
