Proposed Information Collection 

Request; Comment Request; 

Recordkeeping and Reporting 

Requirements for Diesel Fuels 

(Renewal) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Recordkeeping and Reporting 

Requirements for Diesel Fuels’’ (EPA 

ICR No 1718.11, OMB Control No. 

2060–0308) to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review and 

approval in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. Before doing 

so, EPA is soliciting public comments 

on specific aspects of the proposed 

information collection as described

the ICR, which is currently approved 

through March 31, 2019. 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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before November 5, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OAR–2007–1121, online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), by email to a-and-r-docket@

epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket 

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 

20460. 

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change including any

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. 

The telephone number for the Docket 

Center is 202–566–1744. For additional 

information about EPA’s public docket, 

visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets. 

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

the PRA, EPA is soliciting 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: This ICR renewal is related 

to EPA’s diesel fuel regulations under 

40 CFR part 80, Subpart I, applicable to 

highway (motor vehicle) diesel fuel and 

non-road, locomotive and marine diesel 

fuel (NRLM), Emission Control Area 

(ECA) marine fuel, and heating oil. Most 

of the information collected under this 

ICR is used to evaluate compliance with 

the requirements of the regulations. 

Motor vehicle diesel fuel and just about 

all NRLM diesel fuel now meet a 15 part 

per million sulfur standard. The 

activities associated with this ICR 

include: registration (new refiners and 

importers, updates to existing 

registrations); submission of corrections 

to prior compliance reports; granting of 

research and development exemptions; 

generation and retention of quality 

assurance records; general 

recordkeeping; batch testing for sulfur 

content; and the production of product 

transfer documents and pump labels. 

Form numbers: Only ECA0300 and 

DLQ001 are active. There may be 

resubmissions of the others.

Respondents/affected entities: Parties 

involved with diesel fuels. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

7,900 (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 28,450 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $3,300,200 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in estimates: There is an 

increase of 17,372 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase is due to burdens 

that were not addressed in the current 

ICR, such as product transfer 

documents, the testing of each batch of 

diesel fuel for sulfur content, and labels 

on pumps that dispense hearing oil and 

certain offroad diesel fuels.

Abstract: This ICR includes ambient 

air monitoring data and other 

supporting measurements reporting and 

recordkeeping activities associated with 

the 40 CFR 58, Ambient Air Quality 

Surveillance rule. These data and 

information are collected by various 

state and local air quality management 

agencies and reported to the EPA’s 

Office of Air Quality Planning and 

Standards within the Office of Air and 

Radiation. 

This ICR reflects revisions of the 

previous ICR update of 2013, and covers 

the period of 2019–2021. The number of 

monitoring stations, sampling 

parameters, and frequency of data 

collection and submittal is expected to 

remain relatively stable for 2019–2021, 

with minor increases and decreases 

expected for several ambient air 

monitoring networks as air monitoring 

agencies review their monitoring 

networks. 

The data collected through this 

information collection consist of 

ambient air concentration 

measurements for the seven air 

pollutants with national ambient air 

quality standards (i.e., ozone, sulfur 

dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, carbon 

monoxide, PM2.5 and PM10), ozone 

precursors, meteorological variables at a 

select number of sites and other 

supporting measurements. 

Accompanying the pollutant 

concentration data are quality 

assurance/quality control data and air 

monitoring network design information. 

The EPA and others (e.g., state and 

local air quality management agencies, 

tribal entities, environmental groups, 

academic institutions, industrial groups) 

use the ambient air quality data for 

many purposes. Some of the more 

prominent uses include informing the 

public and other interested parties of an 

area’s air quality, judging an area’s (e.g., 

county, city, neighborhood) air quality 

in comparison with the established 

health or welfare standards (including 

both national and local standards), 

evaluating an air quality management 

agency’s progress in achieving or 

maintaining air pollutant levels below 

the national and local standards,
