Title: Alternative Affirmative Defense 

Requirements for Ultra-low Sulfur 

Diesel (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2364.03, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0639. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on December 31, 2010. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 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, and 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: With this information 

collection request (ICR), we are seeking 

permission to continue to allow refiners, 

importers, distributors, and retailers of 

highway diesel fuel the option to use an 

alternative affirmative defense if the 

Agency finds highway diesel fuel 

samples above the specified sulfur 

standard at retail facilities. The highway 

diesel program regulations require most 

motor vehicle (highway) diesel fuel sold 

at retail stations to contain 15 parts per 

million (ppm) sulfur or less (hereafter 

referred to as ultra low sulfur diesel 

fuel, or ULSD) beginning October, 2006. 

General recordkeeping and reporting 

related to diesel fuel regulations for onroad, non-road and performance-based 

test methods are included in EPA ICR 

1718.08 (OMB Control Number 2060– 

0277). 

Under the regulation, where a 

violation of the 15 ppm sulfur standard 

is identified at a retail outlet, the retailer 

responsible for dispensing the 

noncompliant fuel is deemed liable, as 

well as the refiner(s), importer(s) and 

distributor(s) of such fuel. The highway 

diesel regulations further provide, 

however, that any person deemed liable 

can rebut this presumption by 

establishing an affirmative defense that 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
81268 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 247 / Monday, December 27, 2010 / Notices 

includes, among other things, showing 

that it conducted a quality assurance 

sampling and testing program as 

prescribed by the regulations. This ICR 

covers burdens and costs associated 

with provisions that allow refiners and 

importers of ULSD an alternative means 

of meeting the affirmative defense 

requirements in the diesel sulfur 

regulations by participating in a 

nationwide diesel fuel sampling and 

testing program. The reporting burden 

covered by this proposed ICR relates to 

reports that refiners, importers and 

distributors, have to submit in the event 

they have a non-complying sulfur test 

result. (See 40 CFR 80.613.) The 

authority citation for the direct final 

rule and the association information 

collection is for the following Clean Air 

Act sections: 42 United States Code 

7414, 7542, 7545, and 7601(a). 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 16 hours 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, importers, marketers and other 

distributors of highway diesel fuel. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

20. 

Frequency of Response: Occasionally. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

320 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$22,720 in labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the total estimated burden 

currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. 

Dated: December 20, 2010.

Valley Fills on Aquatic Ecosystems of 

the Central Appalachian Coalfields’’ and 

‘‘Review of Field-Based Aquatic Life 

Benchmark for Conductivity in Central 

Appalachian Streams.’’ On January 20, 

2011 the SAB will review a draft SAB 

Committee report entitled ‘‘Reactive 

Nitrogen in the United States; an 

Analysis of Inputs, Flows, 

Consequences, and Management

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2, notice is 

hereby given that the EPA Science 

Advisory Board will hold two public 

teleconferences to conduct quality 

reviews of three SAB draft reports. 

The SAB was established pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. 4365 to provide independent 

scientific and technical advice to the 

Administrator on the technical basis for 

Agency positions and regulations. The 

SAB is a Federal Advisory Committee 

under FACA. The SAB will comply 

with the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

Background 

January 19, 2010 teleconference. The 

chartered SAB will first conduct a 

quality review of a draft SAB panel 

report entitled ‘‘Review of the Effects of 

Mountaintop Mines and Valley Fills on 

Aquatic Ecosystems of the Central 

Appalachian Coalfields.’’ This draft SAB 

panel report reviews EPA’s assessment 

of the ecological impacts related to 

mountaintop mining and valley-fill 

operations. Background information 

about this advisory activity can be 

found on the SAB Web site at http:// 

yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/

fedrgstr_activites/MTM-VF%20

Assessment?OpenDocument. 

The SAB will also conduct a quality 

review of a draft SAB panel report 

entitled ‘‘Review of Field-Based Aquatic 

Life Benchmark for Conductivity in 

Central Appalachian Streams.’’ This 

SAB panel report reviews EPA’s draft 

chronic aquatic life conductivity 

benchmark to prevent the loss of 95% 

of native species in Appalachian 

streams exposed to mountaintop mining 

and valley fills. Background information 

about this advisory activity can be 

found on the SAB Web site at http:// 

yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/

fedrgstr_activites/Water%20Quality%

20Conductivity?OpenDocument. 

January 20, 2010 Teleconference. The 

chartered SAB will conduct a quality 

review of an SAB original study 

‘‘Reactive Nitrogen in the United States; 

an Analysis of Inputs, Flows, 

Consequences, and Management 

Options.’’ The SAB study analyzes the 

sources and fate of reactive nitrogen and 

provides advice to EPA on integrated 

nitrogen research and control strategies.
