SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

majority of geothermal energy growth 

occurred prior to 1990. In recent years, 

the growth of geothermal capacity in the 

U.S. has lagged that of solar and wind 

energy. The purpose of the Blue Ribbon 

Panel meeting was to identify the 

obstacles to geothermal energy growth, 

discuss the appropriate role of DOE in 

enabling geothermal energy, and 

recommend priority research and 

development areas. The 15 panelists 

included experts from the geothermal 

and oil/gas industries, finance 

institutions, utilities, universities, and 

national laboratories. 

This notice requests public comment 

on the recommendations and 

discussions captured in the Geothermal 

Blue Ribbon Panel Report. 

Public Participation Policy 

It is the policy of the Department to 

ensure that public participation is an 

integral and effective part of DOE 

activities, and that decisions are made 

with the benefit of significant public 

input and perspectives. 

The Department recognizes the many 

benefits to be derived from public 

participation for both stakeholders and 

DOE. Public participation provides a 

means for DOE to gather a diverse 

collection of opinions, perspectives, and 

values from the broadest spectrum of 

the public, enabling the Department to 

make more informed decisions. Public 

participation benefits stakeholders by 

creating an opportunity to provide input 

on decisions that affect their 

communities and our nation.

Title: Regulation of Fuels and Fuel 

Additives: Detergent Gasoline 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1655.07, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0275. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on June 30, 2011. 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: Gasoline combustion results 

in the formation of engine deposits that 

contribute to increased emissions. 

Detergent additives deter deposit 

formation. The Clean Air Act requires 

gasoline to contain a detergent additive. 

The regulations at 40 CFR part 80, 

subpart G specify certification 

requirements for manufacturers of 

detergent additives, recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements for blenders of 

detergents into gasoline or post-refinery 

component (any gasoline blending stock 

or any oxygenate which is blended with 

gasoline subsequent to the gasoline 

refining process), and recordkeeping 

and reporting requirements for 

manufacturers, transferors, or 

transferees of detergents, gasoline, or 

post-refinery component (PRC). These 

requirements ensure that (1) a detergent 

is effective before it is certified by EPA, 

(2) a certified detergent, at the minimum 

concentration necessary to be effective 

(known as the lowest additive 

concentration (LAC)), is blended into 

gasoline, and (3) only gasoline which 

contains a certified detergent at its LAC 

is delivered to the consumer. The EPA 

maintains a list of certified gasoline 

detergents, which is publicly available. 

As of April 2011 there were 423 

certified detergents and 19 detergent 

manufacturers. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 3 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, transferors and 

transferees, and blenders into gasoline 

or post-refinery component of detergent 

additives; and detergent additive 

researchers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1354. 

Frequency of Response: Once, 

occasionally annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

220,181. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$18,854,168 including $335,040 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 427 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is due to an 

estimated decrease in annual 

certification applications from 10 to 3. 

Dated: June 21, 2011.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
