Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable.

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.

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.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  E-mail your questions to Jacquelyn Springer, at springer.jacquelyn@epa.gov 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 andwritten 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.

Dated: September 28, 2011. Cynthia C. Dougherty, Director, Office of Ground Water and Drinking
Water.
