    Abstract: Gasoline combustion results in the formation of engine 
deposits that contribute to increased emissions. Detergent additives 
deter deposit formation. The Clean Air Act requires gasoline to contain 
a detergent additive. The regulations at 40 CFR part 80, subpart G 
specify certification requirements for manufacturers of detergent 
additives, recordkeeping and reporting requirements for blenders of 
detergents into gasoline or post-refinery component (any gasoline 
blending stock or any oxygenate which is blended with gasoline 
subsequent to the gasoline refining process), and recordkeeping and 
reporting requirements for manufacturers, transferors, or transferees 
of detergents, gasoline, or post-refinery component (PRC). These 
requirements ensure that (1) a detergent is effective before it is 
certified by EPA, (2) a certified detergent, at the minimum 
concentration necessary to be effective (known as the lowest additive 
concentration (LAC)), is blended into gasoline, and (3) only gasoline 
which contains a certified detergent at its LAC is delivered to the 
consumer. The EPA maintains a list of certified gasoline detergents, 
which is publicly available.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers, transferors and 
transferees, and blenders into gasoline or post-refinery component of 
detergent additives; and detergent additive researchers.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory.
    Estimated number of respondents: 1354 (total).

[[Page 57553]]

    Frequency of response: Once, occasionally annually.
    Total estimated burden: 220,181 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $18,854,168 including $335,040 annualized 
capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no change in the total estimated 
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 
Burdens.
