Abstract: The highway diesel program regulations require motor vehicle (highway) diesel fuel sold at retail stations to contain 15 parts per million (ppm) of sulfur or less. Under the highway diesel fuel regulations, 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 includes, among other things, showing that it conducted a quality assurance sampling and testing program as prescribed by the regulations.

Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: 5. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory.

Estimated number of respondents: 5 (total).

Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 80 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $9,200 (per year), which includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance

costs.

Changes in Estimates: There is a decrease of 240 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. There is no change in the burden per response. Instead, the respondent universe and responses have decreased from 20 to five due to a higher than expected compliance rate. There was in increase in cost to the industry per response of $704 due to more accurate numbers used to calculate the industry burden and to account for inflation.
