ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an
information collection request (ICR),
‘‘Recordkeeping and Reporting
Requirements Regarding the Sulfur
Content of Motor Vehicle Gasoline,
Gasoline Additives, Denatured Fuel
Ethanol and Other Oxygenates, Certified
Ethanol Denaturant, and Blender-Grade
Pentane’’ (EPA ICR No.1907.07, OMB
Control No. 2060–0437) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Before doing so,
EPA is soliciting public comments on
specific aspects of the proposed
information collection as described
below. This is a proposed extension of
the ICR, which is currently approved
through May 31, 2018. 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.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before June 11, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OAR–2011–0135, online using
www.regulations.gov (our preferred
method), or by mail to: EPA Docket

EPA’s policy is that all comments
received will be included in the public
docket without change including any
personal information provided, unless
the comment includes profanity, threats,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Supporting documents which explain in
detail the information that the EPA will
be collecting are available in the public
docket for this ICR. The docket can be
viewed online at www.regulations.gov
or in person at the EPA Docket Center,
WJC West, Room 3334, 1301
Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC.
The telephone number for the Docket
Center is 202–566–1744. For additional
information about EPA’s public docket,
visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets.
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA is soliciting 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: The requirements covered
under this ICR are included in the Tier
3 Final Rule (79 FR 23414, April 28,
2014). The scope of the recordkeeping
and reporting requirements for each
party in the gasoline, gasoline additive,
oxygenate, certified ethanol denaturant,
and blender-grade pentane distribution
systems, and therefore the cost to that
party, reflects the party’s opportunity to
create, control or alter the product’s
sulfur content. As a result, petroleum
refiners/importers, gasoline additive
producers/importers, oxygenate
producers/importers, certified ethanol
denaturant producers/importers, and
blender-grade pentane producers and
importers have more significant
requirements, which are necessary both
for their own tracking and that of
downstream parties, and for EPA
enforcement. The Tier 3 program
contains recordkeeping and reporting
requirements that apply to gasoline
additive manufacturers, oxygenate
producers/importers, blender-grade
pentane producers/importers, and
producers/importers of certified ethanol
denaturants that are used to produce
denatured fuel ethanol. In large part
these requirements are consistent with
common business practices.
