Abstract: EPA is required under Section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act to regulate Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from the use of consumer and commercial products. Under regulations promulgated on February 26, 2007 (72 FR 8428) manufacturers of new portable gasoline containers are required to obtain certificates of conformity with the Clean Air Act, effective January 1, 2009. This ICR covers the burdens associated with this certification process. EPA reviews information submitted in a manufacturer’s application for certification to determine if the gasoline container design conforms to applicable regulatory requirements and to verify that the required testing has been performed. The certificate holder is required to keep records on the testing and collect and keep warranty and defect information for annual reporting on in-use performance of their products. The respondent must also retain records on the units produced, apply serial numbers to individual containers, and track the serial numbers to their certificates of conformity. Any information submitted for which a claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to EPA regulations at 40 CFR 2.201 et seq. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers of new portable gasoline containers from 0.25 to 10.0 gallons in capacity. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 59, subpart F). Estimated number of respondents: 9 (total). Frequency of response: Yearly for warranty reports; at least once every five years for certification and certificate renewals. Total estimated burden: 165 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $ 29,855.51 (per year), which includes $ 21,613.67 annualized capital and operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: The program is now mature and startup costs have largely already been incurred. One successful warranty violation report has been received on an annual basis, as PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5531 reported above, so warranty report applications are expected to be less time-consuming. The number of manufacturers certifying PFC’s is nine (9) and we do not anticipate an increase in new entrants. The increase in anticipated costs is due to the adjustment in the expected testing burden. We have increased the anticipated cost of contracting a PFC emission test to reflect the estimated current market rate. There is an overall decrease in burden hours, which is an adjustment to correct the previous ICR which had incorrectly included some of the O&M costs in the hour burden.

Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected are those that manufacture, process, distribute in commerce or use decaBDE, PIP (3:1), 2,4,6-TTBP, PCTP, HCBD, or products or articles containing these chemicals. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 751). Estimated number of respondents: 73 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 54 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated costs: $4,287 (per year), which includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 34 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to EPA’s updating of burden estimates for these chemicals under the rule. This change is an adjustment. It results from the fact that some firms are no longer expected to incur recordkeeping and downstream notification costs since they are prohibited from using the chemical(s) during the period this ICR covers.
