Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

to: (i) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: Gasoline volatility, as 

measured by Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) 

in pounds per square inch (psi), is 

controlled in the spring and summer in 

order to minimize evaporative 

hydrocarbon emissions from motor 

vehicles. RVP is subject to a federal 

standard of 7.8 psi or 9.0 psi, depending 

on location. The addition of ethanol to 

gasoline increases the RVP by about 1 

psi. Gasoline that contains 9 volume 

percent to 10 volume percent ethanol is 

subject to a standard that is 1.0 psi 

greater. As an aid to industry 

compliance and EPA enforcement, the 

product transfer document (PTD), which 

is prepared by the producer or importer 

and which accompanies a shipment of 

gasoline containing ethanol, is required 

by regulation to contain a legible and 

conspicuous statement that the gasoline 

contains ethanol and the percentage 

concentration of ethanol. This is 

intended to deter the mixing within the 

distribution system, particularly in 

retail storage tanks, of gasoline with 

ethanol in the 9 percent to 10 percent 

range with gasoline which does not 

contain ethanol in that range. Such 

mixing would likely result in a gasoline 

which is in violation of its RVP 

standard. Also, a party wishing a testing 

exemption for research on gasoline that 

is not in compliance with the applicable 

volatility standard must submit certain 

information to EPA. EPA has additional 

PTD requirements for gasoline 

containing ethanol at 40 CFR 80.1503. 

Those requirements are covered in a 

separate ICR. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

those who produce or import gasoline 

containing ethanol, or who wish to 

obtain a testing exemption. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory per 40 CFR 80.27(d) and (e). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

2,000. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 12,330 hours 

per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1.1 million, 

includes $20 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

change in the hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. The use of ethanol in gasoline has 

increased slightly, but that has been 

offset by a slight decrease in gasoline 

consumption.

II. Background 

EPA has granted emergency 

exemptions to the following State and 

Federal agencies. The emergency 

exemptions may take the following 

form: Crisis, public health, quarantine, 

or specific. 

Under FIFRA section 18, EPA can 

authorize the use of a pesticide when 

emergency conditions exist. 

Authorizations (commonly called 

emergency exemptions) are granted to 

State and Federal agencies and are of 

four types: 

1. A ‘‘specific exemption’’ authorizes 

use of a pesticide against specific pests 

on a limited acreage in a particular 

State. Most emergency exemptions are 

specific exemptions. 

2. ‘‘Quarantine’’ and ‘‘public health’’ 

exemptions are emergency exemptions 

issued for quarantine or public health 

purposes. These are rarely requested. 

3. A ‘‘crisis exemption’’ is initiated by 

a State or Federal agency (and is 

confirmed by EPA) when there is 

insufficient time to request and obtain 

EPA permission for use of a pesticide in 

an emergency. 

EPA may deny an emergency 

exemption: If the State or Federal 

agency cannot demonstrate that an 

emergency exists, if the use poses 

unacceptable risks to the environment, 

or if EPA cannot reach a conclusion that 

the proposed pesticide use is likely to 

result in ‘‘a reasonable certainty of no 

harm’’ to human health, including 

exposure of residues of the pesticide to 

infants and children. 

If the emergency use of the pesticide 

on a food or feed commodity would 

result in pesticide chemical residues, 

EPA establishes a time-limited tolerance 

meeting the ‘‘reasonable certainty of no 

harm standard’’ of the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). 

In this document: EPA identifies the 

State or Federal agency granted the 

exemption, the type of exemption, the 

pesticide authorized and the pests, the 

crop or use for which authorized, and 

the duration of the exemption.
