Proposed Information Collection 

Request; Comment Request; 

Regulation of Fuels and Fuel 

Additives: RFS Pathways II, and 

Technical Amendments to the RFS 

Standards and E15 Misfueling 

Mitigation Requirements 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Regulation of Fuels and Fuel 

Additives: RFS Pathways II, and 

Technical Amendments to the RFS 

Standards and E15 Misfueling 

Mitigation Requirement’’ (EPA ICR No. 

2520.01., OMB Control No. 2060–NEW 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

Before doing so, EPA is soliciting public 

comments on specific aspects of the 

proposed information collection as 

described below. This is a request for 

approval of a new collection. 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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before August 24, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OAR–2012–0401, online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), or by mail to: EPA Docket 

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC 20460. 

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change including any

the comment includes profanity, threats, 

information claimed to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be

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

the PRA, EPA is soliciting 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. 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. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: In the final rule, EPA 

finalized the renewable fuels standard 

(RFS) program regulations at 40 CFR 

part 80, subpart M. We believe these 

provisions will facilitate the 

introduction of new renewable fuels as 

well as improve implementation of the 

program. These provisions includes 

various changes related to biogas 

including changes to the revised 

compressed natural gas (CNG)/liquefied 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 120 / Tuesday, June 23, 2015 / Notices 35951 

natural gas (LNG) pathway and 

amendments to various associated 

registration, recordkeeping, and 

reporting provisions. The final 

regulation includes a lifecycle 

greenhouse gas emissions analysis for 

renewable electricity, renewable diesel 

and naphtha produced from landfill 

biogas. Adding these new pathways will 

enhance the ability of the biofuels 

industry to supply advanced biofuels, 

including cellulosic biofuels, which 

greatly reduce the greenhouse gas 

emissions (GHG) compared to the 

petroleum-based fuels they replace. It 

also addresses ‘‘nameplate capacity’’ 

issues for certain production facilities 

that do not claim exemption from the 20 

percent GHG reduction threshold. In the 

accompanying final rule for this ICR, 

EPA addressed issues related to crop 

residue and corn kernel fiber and 

finalized an approach to determining 

the volume of cellulosic Renewable 

Identification Numbers (RIN’s) 

produced from various cellulosic 

feedstocks. We also included a lifecycle 

analysis of advanced butanol and 

discussed the potential to allow for 

commingling of compliant products at 

the retail facility level as long as the 

environmental performance of the fuels 

would not be detrimental. Several other 

amendments to the RFS2 program were 

included. 

In the final rule, EPA also amended 

various changes to the E15 (gasoline 

containing up to 15 volume percent 

ethanol) mis-fueling mitigation 

regulations (MMR) at 40 CFR part 80, 

subpart N. Among the E15 changes 

finalized were technical corrections and 

amendments to sections dealing with 

labeling, E15 surveys, product transfer 

documents, and prohibited acts. 

Technical amendments and corrections 

for this regulations had no bearings on 

the industry estimates. 

Lastly, EPA finalized changes to the 

survey requirements associated with the 

ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) program. 

This change is not addressed here 

because there are fewer than nine 

respondents.
