Title: Registration of Fuels and Fuel 

Additives—Requirements for 

Manufacturers. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0309.12, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0150. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on March 31, 2007. 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. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: In accordance with the 

regulations at 40 CFR part 79, subparts 

A, B, C, and D, Registration of Fuels and 

Fuel Additives, manufacturers 

(including importers) of motor-vehicle 

gasoline, motor-vehicle diesel fuel, and 

additives for those fuels, are required to 

have these products registered by the 

EPA prior to their introduction into 

commerce. Registration involves 

providing a chemical description of the 

fuel or additive, and certain technical, 

marketing, and health-effects 

information. The development of 

health-effects data, as required by 40 

CFR part 79, subpart F, is covered by a 

separate information collection. 

Manufacturers are also required to 

submit periodic reports (annually for 

additives, quarterly and annually for 

fuels) on production volume and related 

information. The information is used to 

identify products whose evaporative or 

combustion emissions may pose an 

unreasonable risk to public health, thus 

meriting further investigation and 

potential regulation. The information is 

also used to ensure that gasoline 

additives comply with EPA 

requirements for protecting catalytic 

converters and other automotive 

emission controls. The data have been 

used to construct a comprehensive data 

base on fuel and additive composition. 

Most of the information is confidential. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average two 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: 

Manufacturers of Fuels and Fuel 

Additives. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,050. 

Frequency of Response: On Occasion, 

quarterly, annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

17,150. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,372,000. This includes no annualized 

capital and $39,750 in O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 2,340 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is the result of

an increase in the number of

Title: Information Requirements for

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0010.11, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0095. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on March 31, 2007. 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. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: Importers into the U.S. of 

light duty vehicles, light duty trucks, 

and on road motorcycles, or the 

corresponding engines, are required to 

report and keep records regarding the 

imports. The collection of this 

information is mandatory to insure 

compliance with Federal emissions 

requirements. Joint EPA and U.S. 

Customs Service regulations at 40 CFR 

85.1501 et seq., 19 CFR part 1273, and 

19 CFR part 1774, promulgated under 

the authority of Clean Air Act sections 

203 and 208, give authority for the 

collection of this information. The 

information is used by program 

personnel to ensure that all federal 

emissions requirements are met, and by 

state regulatory agencies, businesses, 

and individuals to verify whether 

vehicles are in compliance. Any 

information submitted to the Agency for 

which a claim of confidentiality is made 

is safeguarded according to policies set 

forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, 

subpart B—Confidentiality of Business 

Information (see 40 CFR part 2), and the 

public is not permitted access to 

information containing personal or 

organizational identifiers. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 0.83 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.

Commercial Importers) of light duty 

vehicles or engines, light duty trucks or
