Title: Alternative Affirmative Defense Requirements for Ultra-low Sulfur Diesel (Renewal).

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2364.03, OMB Control No. 2060–0639.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2010. 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, and 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. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.

Abstract: With this information collection request (ICR), we are seeking permission to continue to allow refiners, importers, distributors, and retailers of highway diesel fuel the option to use an alternative affirmative defense if the Agency finds highway diesel fuel samples above the specified sulfur standard at retail facilities. The highway diesel program regulations require most motor vehicle (highway) diesel fuel sold at retail stations to contain 15 parts per million (ppm) sulfur or less (hereafter referred to as ultra low sulfur diesel fuel, or ULSD) beginning October, 2006. General recordkeeping and reportingrelated to diesel fuel regulations for onroad, non-road and performance-based test methods are included in EPA ICR 1718.08 (OMB Control Number 2060– 0277).

Under the regulation, 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


### 81268 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 247 / Monday, December 27, 2010 / Notices

includes, among other things, showing that it conducted a quality assurance sampling and testing program as prescribed by the regulations. This ICR covers burdens and costs associated with provisions that allow refiners and importers of ULSD an alternative means of meeting the affirmative defense requirements in the diesel sulfur regulations by participating in a nationwide diesel fuel sampling and testing program. The reporting burden covered by this proposed ICR relates to reports that refiners, importers and distributors, have to submit in the event they have a non-complying sulfur test result. (See 40 CFR 80.613.) The authority citation for the direct final rule and the association information collection is for the following Clean Air Act sections: 42 United States Code 7414, 7542, 7545, and 7601(a).

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 16 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; 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, importers, marketers and other distributors of highway diesel fuel.

Estimated Number of Respondents:
20.

Frequency of Response: Occasionally.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 320 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $22,720 in labor costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.

Dated: December 20, 2010. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.
