Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, 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. 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. At that time, EPA
will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: Gasoline volatility, as
measured by Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP)
in pounds per square inch (psi), is
controlled in the spring and summer in
order to minimize evaporative
hydrocarbon emissions from motor
vehicles. RVP is subject to a federal
standard of 7.8 psi or 9.0 psi, depending
on location. The addition of ethanol to
gasoline increases the RVP by about 1
psi. Gasoline that contains 9 volume
percent to 10 volume percent ethanol is
subject to a standard that is 1.0 psi
greater. As an aid to industry
compliance and EPA enforcement, the
product transfer document (PTD), which
is prepared by the producer or importer
and which accompanies a shipment of
gasoline containing ethanol, is required
by regulation to contain a legible and
conspicuous statement that the gasoline
contains ethanol and the percentage
concentration of ethanol. This is
intended to deter the mixing within the
distribution system, particularly in
retail storage tanks, of gasoline with

ethanol in the 9 percent to 10 percent
range with gasoline which does not
contain ethanol in that range. Such
mixing would likely result in a gasoline
which is in violation of its RVP
standard. Also, a party wishing a testing
exemption for research on gasoline that
is not in compliance with the applicable
volatility standard must submit certain
information to EPA. EPA has additional
PTD requirements for gasoline
containing ethanol at 40 CFR 80.1503.
Those requirements are covered in a
separate ICR.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
those who produce or import gasoline
containing ethanol, or who wish to
obtain a testing exemption.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory per 40 CFR 80.27(d) and (e).
Estimated number of respondents:
2,000.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 12,330 hours
per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $1.1 million,
includes $20 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is no
change in the hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. The use of ethanol in gasoline has
increased slightly, but that has been
offset by a slight decrease in gasoline
consumption.
