Abstract: Gasoline combustion results in the formation of engine deposits. The accumulation of deposits, particularly in the orifices of fuel injectors and on intake valves, typically results in increased emissions and reduced engine performance. As fuel injectors replaced carburetors in the 1980’s, a number of vehicle manufacturers experienced problems with deposit formation. Detergent additives, which had been available for years to control deposits in carbureted vehicles, were improved to accommodate the new technology. However, their use was voluntary and there were no regulatory standards by which to gauge their effectiveness. Congress recognized the importance of effective detergent additives in minimizing vehicle emissions, and added Section 211(1) in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. It required gasoline to contain detergent additives, effective January 1, 1995, and provided EPA with the authority to establish specifications for such additives. The regulations at 40 CFR 80, Subpart G implemented certification requirements for detergents and imposed a variety of recordkeeping and reporting requirements for certain parties involved with detergents, gasoline, or post-refinery component (any gasoline blending stock or any oxygenate that is blended with gasoline subsequent to the gasoline refining process (PRC)). All gasolines must contain certified detergents, with the exception of research, racing, and aviation gasolines. Form Numbers: None PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Respondents/affected entities: The respondents are related to the following major group Standard Industrialization Classification (SIC) codes: 5172– Petroleum Products and 2911– Petroleum Refining. The respondents are related to the following major group NAICS codes: 324110–Petroleum Refineries; 324199–All Other Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing; 325110–Petrochemical Manufacturing; 325199–All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing; 424710– Petroleum Bulk Stations and Terminals; and 424720–Petroleum and Petroleum Products Merchant Wholesalers (except Bulk Stations and Terminals). Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory per 40 CFR 80, Subpart G. Estimated number of respondents: 1,354 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 220,181 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $16,554,566.00 (per year), which includes $335,040.00 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: There is no increase of hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. The respondent universe and responses also remain the same in this collection. There is a decrease in cost to the industry of $2,281,002 per year due to a correction in industry labor costs.
