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 the 

application for certification to 

determine if the container design 

conforms to applicable 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 under 40 CFR part 59, 

subpart F. 

Estimated number of respondents: 8 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Annually for 

warranty reports; at least once every five 

years for certificate renewals. 

Total estimated burden: 179 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $21,668 (per 

year), which includes $12,552 in 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in 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 minor 

adjustments in the burden estimates, 

which are detailed in the ICR 

Supporting Statement.

Abstract: In accordance with the 

regulations at 40 CFR part 79, subparts 

A, B, C and D, Registration of Fuels and 

Fuel Additives, manufacturers 

(including importers) of motor-vehicle 

gasoline, motor-vehicle diesel fuel and 

additives for those fuels are required to 

have these products registered by the 

EPA prior to their introduction into 

commerce. Registration involves 

providing a chemical description of the 

fuel or additive and certain technical, 

marketing, and health-effects 

information. The development of 

health-effects data, as required by 40 

CFR part 79, subpart F, is the subject of 

this ICR. The health-effects data will be 

used to determine if there are any 

products which have evaporative or 

combustion emissions that may pose an 

unreasonable risk to public health, thus 

meriting further investigation and 

potential regulation. This information is 

required for specific groups of fuels and 

additives as defined in the regulations. 

Manufacturers may perform the 

research independently or may join 

with other manufacturers to share in the 

costs for each applicable group. Several 

research consortiums (groups of 

manufacturers) have been formed. The 

largest consortium, organized by the 

American Petroleum Institute (API), 

represents most of the manufacturers of 

baseline gasoline, baseline diesel fuel, 

baseline fuel additives, and the 

prominent non-baseline oxygenated 

additives for gasoline. The research is 

structured into three tiers of 

requirements for each group. Tier 1 

requires an emissions characterization 

and a literature search for information 

on the health effects of those emissions. 

Voluminous Tier 1 data for gasoline and 

diesel fuel were submitted by API and 

others in 1997. Tier 1 data have been 

submitted for biodiesel, water/diesel 

emulsions, several atypical additives, 

and renewable gasoline and diesel fuels. 

Tier 2 requires short-term inhalation 

exposures of laboratory animals to 

emissions to screen for adverse health 

effects. Tier 2 data have been submitted 

for baseline diesel, biodiesel, and water/ 

diesel emulsions. Alternative Tier 2 

testing can be required in lieu of 

standard Tier 2 testing if EPA concludes 

that such testing would be more 

appropriate. EPA reached that 

conclusion with respect to gasoline and 

gasoline-oxygenate blends, and 

alternative requirements were 

established for the API consortium for 

baseline gasoline and six gasolineoxygenate blends. Alternative Tier 2 

requirements have also been established 

for the manganese additive MMT 

manufactured by the Afton Chemical 

Corporation (formerly the Ethyl 

Corporation). Tier 3 provides for followup research, at EPA’s discretion, when 

remaining uncertainties as to the 

significance of observed health effects, 

welfare effects, and/or emissions 

exposures from a fuel or fuel/additive 

mixture interfere with EPA’s ability to 

make reasonable estimates of the 

potential risks posed by emissions from 

a fuel or additive. To date, EPA has not 

imposed any Tier 3 requirements. Under 

Section 211 of the Clean Air Act, (1) 

submission of the health-effects 

information is necessary for a 

manufacturer to obtain registration of a 

motor-vehicle gasoline, diesel fuel, or 

fuel additive, and thus be allowed to 

introduce that product into commerce, 

and (2) the information shall not be 

considered confidential. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Manufacturers of motor-vehicle 

gasoline, motor-vehicle diesel fuel, and 

additives for those fuels. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory per 40 CFR part 79. 

Estimated number of respondents: 2. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total Estimated Burden: 19,200 hours 

per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total Estimated Cost: $2,078,280 per 

year, which includes $537,000 in 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease 2,000 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is due to the 

completion of a testing program 

included in the previous ICR.
