AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) has submitted an 

information collection request (ICR), 

Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: 

Gasoline Volatility (Renewal) (EPA ICR 

No. 1367.11, OMB Control No. 2060– 

0178) to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for review and approval 

in accordance with the Paperwork 

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

seq.). This is a proposed extension of 

the ICR, which is currently approved 

through July 31, 2014. Public comments

comments. A fuller description of the 

ICR is given below, including its 

estimated burden and cost to the public. 

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: Additional comments may be 

submitted on or before July 28, 2014.

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 that 

contains ethanol in the 9 to 10 percent 

range with gasoline that does not 

contain ethanol in that range. Such 

mixing would likely result in a gasoline 

that 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. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

who produce or import gasoline 

containing ethanol or who wish to 

obtain a testing exemption. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory per 40 CFR 80.27(d) and (e). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

2,000. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 12,330 hours 

per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1,060,400, 

which includes $20 annualized capital 

or operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in estimates: There is no 

change in the hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. The use of ethanol in gasoline has 

increased slightly, but that has been 

offset by a slight decrease in gasoline 

consumption.
