Abstract: Gasoline combustion is the 

major source of air pollution in most 

urban areas. In the 1990 amendments to 

the Clean Air Act (Act), section 211(k), 

Congress required that gasoline 

dispensed in nine areas with severe air 

quality problems, and areas that opt-in, 

be reformulated to reduce toxic and 

ozone-forming emissions. Congress also 

required that, in the process of 

producing reformulated gasoline (RFG), 

dirty components removed in the 

reformulation process not be ‘‘dumped’’ 

into the remainder of the country’s 

gasoline, known as conventional 

gasoline (CG). The Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated 

regulations at 40 CFR part 80, subpart 

D—Reformulated Gasoline, Subpart E— 

Anti-Dumping, and Subpart F—Attest 

Engagements, implementing the 

statutory requirements, which include 

standards for RFG (80.41) and CG 

(80.101). The regulations also contain 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements for the production, 

importation, transport and storage of 

gasoline, in order to demonstrate 

compliance and facilitate compliance 

and enforcement. The program is run by 

the Office of Transportation and Air 

Quality, Office of Air and Radiation. 

Enforcement is done by the Air 

Enforcement Division, Office of 

Regulatory Enforcement, Office of 

Enforcement and Compliance 

Assurance. This program excludes 

California, which has separate 

requirements for gasoline. 

The United States has an annual 

gasoline consumption of about 133 

billion gallons, of which about 30% is 

RFG. In 2009 EPA received reports from 

255 refineries, 60 importer facilities/ 

facility groups, 44 oxygenate blending 

facilities, 21 independent laboratory 

facilities, and the RFG Survey 

Association, Inc. under this program. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 2.4 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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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, Oxygenate Blenders, and 

Importers of Gasoline; Requirements for 

parties in the Gasoline Distribution 

Network. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

4,068. 

Frequency of Response: Once, 

Quarterly, Annually, on Occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

127,041. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$38,686,442, which includes 

$24,713,032 annualized capital or O&M 

costs, and $13,973,410 in labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the hour estimated burden 

currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.

health protection (two vacancies), and

Suzanne Kelly, Designated Federal 

Officer, National Drinking Water 

Advisory Council, U.S. Environmental

or call 202–564–9904. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

National Drinking Water Advisory 

Council: The Council was created by 

Congress on December 16, 1974, as part 

of the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, 

Public Law 93–523, 42 U.S.C. 300j–5 

and is operated in accordance with the 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App.2. 

The Council consists of 15 members, 

including a Chairperson, appointed by 

EPA’s Deputy Administrator. Five 

members represent the general public; 

five members represent appropriate 

State and local agencies concerned with 

water hygiene and public water supply; 

and five members represent private 

organizations or groups demonstrating 

an active interest in the field of water 

hygiene and public water supply, of 

which two members shall represent 

small, rural public water systems. The 

current list of members is available on 

the EPA Web site at: http:// 

water.epa.gov/drink/ndwac/. 

The Council meets face-to-face twice 

each year, generally in the spring and 

fall. Additionally, members may be 

asked to participate in teleconference 

meetings or ad hoc workgroups to 

develop policy recommendations, 

advice letters and reports to address 

specific program issues. 

Member Nominations: Any interested 

person and/or organization may 

nominate qualified individuals for 

membership. The EPA values and 

welcomes diversity. In an effort to 

obtain nominations of diverse 

candidates, the agency encourages 

nominations of women and men of all 

racial and ethnic groups. 

All nominations will be fully 

considered, but applicants need to be 

aware of the specific representation 

required by statute: State and local 

agencies concerned with public water 

supply (one vacancy), organizations or 

groups demonstrating an active interest 

in the field of public water supply and 

public health protection (two vacancies, 

one associated with small, rural public 

water systems), and the general public 

(two vacancies). Other criteria used to 

evaluate nominees will include: 

• Background and experience that 

would help members to contribute to 

the diversity of perspectives (e.g., 

geographic, economic, social and 

cultural); 

• Demonstrated experience with 

drinking water issues at the national, 

State or local level; and 

• Excellent interpersonal, oral and 

written communication and consensusbuilding skills. 

Nominations must include a resume, 

providing the nominee’s background, 

experience and educational 

qualifications, as well as a brief 

statement (one page or less) describing 

the nominee’s interest in serving on the 

Council. Nominees should be identified 

by name, occupation, position, current 

business address, and e-mail and 

telephone number. Interested 

candidates may self nominate. 

Persons selected for membership will 

receive compensation for travel and a 

nominal daily compensation (if 

appropriate) while attending meetings. 

Additionally, selected candidates will 

be required to fill out the ‘‘Confidential 

Financial Disclosure Form for EPA 

Special Government Employees.’’ This 

confidential form allows government 

officials to determine whether there is a 

statutory conflict between that person’s 

public responsibilities (which includes 

membership on an EPA Federal 

advisory committee) and private 

interests and activities, or the 

appearance of a lack of impartiality, as 

defined by Federal regulation. 

Other sources, in addition to this 

Federal Register notice, may also be 

utilized in the solicitation of nominees. 

To help the EPA in evaluating the 

effectiveness of its outreach efforts, 

please tell us how you learned of this 

opportunity.

Director, Office of Ground Water and Drinking 

Water.
