Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act, EPA granted partial waivers that allow gasoline containing greater than 10 volume percent ethanol and up to 15 volume percent ethanol (E15) to be introduced into commerce for use in model year 2001 and newer light-duty motor vehicles, subject to certain conditions. EPA issued a final rule establishing several measures to deter the use of E15 in ineligible vehicles and equipment (misfueling). The rule (1) prohibits the use of gasoline containing more than 10 volume percent ethanol in vehicles and equipment that are not covered by the partial waiver decisions, (2) requires all E15 dispensers to have a specific label indicating eligible vehicles, (3) requires E15 and related product transfer documents to contain certain information, and (4) requires ethanol producers, gasoline refiners, blenders, and related parties to conduct a survey of retail stations to monitor compliance with these requirements and submit periodic reports. In addition, to comply with conditions in the partial waivers, each survey party must implement a misfueling mitigation plan. This ICR covers the associated recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Ethanol producers and importers, gasoline refiners, importers, terminals, distributors, retailers, and wholesale purchaser-consumers. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 80). Estimated number of respondents: 2,604 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion, quarterly, annually. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:23 Mar 15, 2019 Jkt 247001 Total estimated burden: 14,770 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $1,841,445 (per year), includes $128,125 in annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in estimates: There is an increase of 1,500 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to an adjustment to an hourly estimate and the addition of some burdens not addressed in the current ICR. Dated: March 12, 2019. Byron J. Bunker, Director, Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coke Oven Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks (40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCCC) apply to pushing, soaking, quenching, and battery stacks on both existing and new coke oven batteries (coke plants) that are major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCCC. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of coke oven batteries at coke plants that are a major source of HAP. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 63, Subpart CCCCC). Estimated number of respondents: 16 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly and semi-annual. Total estimated burden: 27,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $3,240,000 (per year), which includes $143,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the respondent burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. E:\FR\FM\18MRN1.SGM 18MRN1
