SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

How can I access the docket and/or 

submit comments? 

EPA has established a public docket 

for this ICR under Docket ID No. EPA– 

HQ–OAR–2007–0478, which is 

available for online viewing at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, or in-person 

viewing at the Air and Radiation Docket 

in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), 

EPA West, Room B102, 1301 

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, 

DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room 

is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, excluding legal 

holidays. The telephone number for the 

Reading Room is 202–566–1744, and the 

telephone number for the Air and 

Radiation Docket is 202–566–1742. 

Use http://www.regulations.gov to 

obtain a copy of the draft collection of 

information, submit or view public 

comments, access the index listing of 

the contents of the docket, and to access 

those documents in the public docket 

that are available electronically. Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in 

the docket ID number identified in this 

document. 

What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

What should I consider when I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are those who 

produce or import gasoline containing 


jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 229 / Tuesday, November 30, 2010 / Notices 74045 

ethanol, or who wish to obtain a testing 

exemption. 

Title: Regulation of Fuels and Fuel 

Additives: Gasoline Volatility, 

Reporting Requirements for Parties 

Which Produce of Import Gasoline 

Containing Ethanol, and Reporting 

Requirements for Parties Seeking a 

Testing Exemption (40 CFR 80.27) . 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1367.09, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0178. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on May 31, 2011. 

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 in title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, are displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or 

by other appropriate means, such as on 

the related collection instrument or 

form, if applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

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 9 volume 

percent to 10 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 with 

ethanol in the 9 percent to 10 percent 

range with gasoline which does not 

contain ethanol in that range. Such 

mixing would likely result in a gasoline 

which is in violation of its RVP 

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. EPA has proposed 

additional PTD requirements for 

gasoline containing ethanol at 75 FR 

68044 (November 4, 2010). Those 

requirements will be addressed in a 

separate ICR. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1 second 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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 2,000. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 22,000. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

12,330. 

Estimated total annual costs: $1.4 

million. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $1.4 million and an 

estimated cost of $20 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 1,667 hours in 

the total estimated annual respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

This decrease reflects EPA’s updating of 

burden estimates. The decrease is due to 

an increase in the use of computergenerated product transfer documents. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR
