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.

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. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.
