Title: Regulation of Fuels and Fuel 

Additives: Gasoline Volatility (40 CFR 

80.27) (Renewal). 

Abstract: Gasoline volatility, as 

measured by Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) 

in pounds per square inch (psi), is 

controlled in the spring and summer in 

order to minimize evaporative 

hydrocarbon emissions from motor 

vehicles. RVP is subject to a Federal 

standard of 7.8 psi or 9.0 psi, depending 

on location. The addition of ethanol to 

gasoline increases the RVP by about 1 

psi. Gasoline that contains at least 9 

volume percent ethanol is subject to a 

standard that is 1.0 psi greater. As an 

aid to industry compliance and EPA 

enforcement, the product transfer 

document, which is prepared by the 

producer or importer and which 

accompanies a shipment of gasoline 

containing ethanol, is required by 

regulation to contain a legible and 

conspicuous statement that the gasoline 

contains ethanol and the percentage 

concentration of ethanol. This is 

intended to deter the mixing within the 

distribution system, particularly in 

retail storage tanks, of gasoline which 

contains ethanol with gasoline which 

does not contain ethanol. Such mixing 

would likely result in a gasoline with an 

ethanol concentration of less than 9 

volume percent but with an RVP above 

the standard. Also, a party wishing a 

testing exemption for research on 

gasoline that is not in compliance with 

the applicable volatility standard, must 

submit certain information to EPA. 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. The OMB control numbers for 

EPA’s regulations are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average five seconds per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements; train personnel to be able 

to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Refiners, blenders, and importers of 

gasoline blended with ethanol, and 

parties seeking a testing exemption. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

1,500. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 242 / Friday, December 17, 2004 / Notices 75535

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

6,447. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost:

$419,075, which includes $0 annualized 

capital/startup costs, $20 annual O&M 

costs, and $419,055. 

Changes in Estimates: There is an 

increase of 2,269 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is due to the 

increased use of ethanol in gasoline 

since the previous ICR.
