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 to those fuels, are required to have these products registered by 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 (EPA ICR No. 1696.08, OMB Control No. 2060–0297). 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 fuel additives comply with EPA requirements for protecting catalytic converters and other automotive emission controls. The data have been used to construct a comprehensive data base on fuel and additive composition. The Mine Safety and Health Administration of the Department of Labor restricts the use of diesel additives in underground coal mines to those registered by EPA. Most of the information has been claimed by the manufacturers as CBI. Form Numbers: EPA Forms 3520–12, 3520–12A, 3520–12Q, 3520–13, 3520– 13A, and 3520–13B. Respondents/Affected Entities: Manufacturers and importers of motorvehicle gasoline, motor-vehicle diesel fuel, and additives to those fuels. Respondents Obligation to Respond: Mandatory per 40 CFR part 79. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:25 May 20, 2016 Jkt 238001 Estimated Number of Respondents: 1950. Frequency of Response: On occasion, quarterly, annually. Total Estimated Burden: 21,000 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total Estimated Cost: $1.9 million per year, includes $50,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: There is an increase of 400 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to an increase in the number of registered fuels and fuel additives for which periodic reports are required. Dated: May 16, 2016. Byron J. Bunker, Director, Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation.

On January 15, 2016, COSCO Container Lines Company Limited (‘‘COSCON’’) (Petitioner), petitioned the Commission pursuant to 46 CFR 502.76 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, for an exemption from the Commission’s rules requiring individual service contract amendments, 46 CFR 530.10. Petitioner explained that ‘‘[o]n or about March 1, 2016, COSCON will acquire by time charter the containerships and certain other assets of China Shipping Container Lines Co. (‘‘China Shipping’’)’’ and, as such, requested that the Commission permit the submission of a ‘‘universal notice to the Commission and to the service contract parties’’ instead of filing an amendment for each of the seven hundred (700) service contracts that will be assigned to COSCON. In addition COSCON proposed to send electronic notice to each shipper counter party. Because China Shipping tariffs would be taken over by COSCON and renumbered and republished, COSCON also sought a waiver to avoid amending each contract with the new tariff number, by publishing a notice of the change in the existing China Shipping and COSCON tariffs. Notice of the Petition appeared in the Federal Register on January 27, 2016, 81 FR 4627. The Commission granted the Petition by Order on February 29, 2016 and ordered that the new COSCON tariff remain in effect only until June 1, 2016 noting that ‘‘most of the relevant service contracts will expire on or before April 30, 2016, rendering the new tariffs unnecessary after that date.’’ On May 13, 2016, COSCON filed a Petition for extension of the exemption stating that ‘‘there remains a very limited number of shippers (around 30), as to which the discussions have taken longer than COSCON anticipated,’’ and so requests a continuation of the exemption to July 31, 2016. The Petition and related documents are posted on the Commission’s Web site at https://www.fmc.gov/p1-16. Comments filed in response to this PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Petition will be posted on the Commission’s Web site at this location. In order for the Commission to make a thorough evaluation of the Petition requesting extension of the exemption, interested persons are requested to submit views or arguments in reply to the Petition for Extension of Exemption no later than May 27, 2016. Commenters must send an original and 5 copies to the Secretary, Federal Maritime Commission, 800 North Capitol Street NW., Washington, DC 20573–0001, and be served on Petitioner’s counsel, Robert B. Yoshitomi, or Eric C. Jeffrey, Nixon Peabody LLP, 799 9th Street NW., Washington, DC 20001. A PDF copy of the reply must also be sent as an attachment to Secretary@fmc.gov. Include in the email subject line ‘‘Petition No P1–16.’’ Karen V. Gregory, Secretary.
