AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this notice announces that

EPA is planning to submit the following

continuing Information Collection

Request (ICR) to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB):

Detergent Gasoline (EPA ICR Number

1655.04, OMB Control Number 2060–

0275, expiration date: 4–30–00). Before

submitting the ICR to OMB for review

and approval, EPA is soliciting

comments on specific aspects of the

proposed information collection as

described below.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before July 10, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Transportation and

Regional Programs Division, Office of

Transportation and Air Quality, Office

of Air and Radiation, Mail Code 6406J,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Affected entities: Entities potentially

affected by this action are those who (1)

manufacture gasoline, post-refinery

component, or detergent additives, (2)

blend detergent additives into gasoline

or post-refinery component, or (3)

transport or receive a detergent additive,

gasoline, or post-refinery component.

Title: Detergent Gasoline: Certification

Requirements for Manufacturers of

Detergent Additives; Requirements for

Transferors and Transferees of Detergent

Additives; Requirements for Blenders of

Detergents into Gasoline or Post-refinery

Component; Requirements for

Manufacturers, Transferors, and

Transferees of Gasoline or Post-refinery

Component (40 CFR 80—Subpart G),

EPA ICR Number 1655.04, OMB Control

Number 2060–0275, expiration date: 4–

30–00.

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 80 subpart G

specify certification requirements for

manufacturers of detergent additives,

recordkeeping or 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 reporting or

recordkeeping 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

30110 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 10, 2000 / Notices

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.

As of March 2000 there were

approximately 225 certified detergents

and 16 detergent manufacturers.

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 are listed

at 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

The EPA would like to solicit

comments 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.

Burden Statement: EPA estimates that

the average burden for detergent

certification is 60 hours and $3869, and

that there will be approximately 50

applications for detergent certification

each year for the next three years. Thus,

the annual burden is estimated at 3000

hours and $193,450.

Most of the burden is incurred by the

blenders of detergent into gasoline or

PRC. The regulations require that they

generate and maintain records of the

amount of detergent blended and the

amount of gasoline into which it is

blended. These records are known as

volumetric additive reconciliation

(VAR) records and must demonstrate

that the proper amount of a certified

detergent has been used. For blenders

with automated equipment, the annual

burden is estimated at 150 hours and

$8,373. There are approximately 1300

blenders which use automated

equipment. Thus the annual burden is

195,000 hours and $10.9 million. For

blenders with non-automated

equipment, the annual burden is

estimated at 500 hours and $27,910. It

is estimated that there are 50 blenders

in this category, for an annual burden of

25,000 hours and $1,395,500.

The other requirements are customary

business practices, and thus do not

incur additional burden. For example,

the regulations require the generation,

transfer, and storage of product transfer

documents (PTDs) indicating the

detergent status of a shipment of

gasoline. PTDs containing a variety of

information about the gasoline shipment

are a standard business practice.

Research, racing, and aviation gasolines

are exempt.

There are no capital or start-up costs

beyond those incurred by industry at

the program’s inception in 1995. There

are no operating and maintenance costs

beyond copying and postage. The total

annual estimated burden for industry is

223,000 hours and $12.5 million.

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.

Director, Transportation and Regional

Programs Division.
