Abstract: This regulation has a 

provision that EPA will use to authorize 

renewable fuel producers using certain 

foreign-grown feedstocks to use an 

aggregate approach to comply with the 

renewable biomass verification 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

11102 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 39 / Thursday, February 27, 2014 / Notices 

provisions, akin to that applicable to 

producers using crops and crop residue 

grown in the United States. For this 

authorization, foreign based entities 

may petition EPA for approval of the 

aggregate compliance approach for 

specified renewable fuel feedstocks 

either in a foreign country as a whole or 

in a specified geographical area. This 

petition request for the aggregate 

compliance approach for foreign-grown 

crops and crop residue is voluntary, 

though, if approved by EPA, will offer 

the benefit that certain renewable 

biomass produced in a foreign country 

or geographical area can be counted as 

feedstock to make renewable fuel for 

credit under the Renewable Fuel 

Standard (RFS2) program. 

Form Numbers: None 

Respondents/affected entities: 15. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 15 

(total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 600 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $ 68,400 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is an 

increase of hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with the 

ICR currently approved by OMB. The 

total hours increased by 400 due to a 

more accurate account of hours needed 

for foreign producers to complete the 

petition for approval that will offer the 

benefit that certain renewable biomass 

produced in a foreign country or 

geographical area can be counted as 

feedstock to make renewable fuel for 

credit under the Renewable Fuel 

Standard (RFS2). This change in burden 

hours increased the cost of this 

collection by $54,204 per year. The 

respondent universe and responses 

remained the same in this collection.
