these respondents to provide this information to EPA, as doing so could ensure that the market price of RINs appropriately reflects the value of their cellulosic biofuel. This information also serves a more general program purpose, because it will assist EPA in setting the annual RFS2 standard more accurately.

We estimate that approximately 35 parties would choose to participate in this voluntary information collection. The format for submitting the production outlook information to EPA would follow the ‘‘RFS2 Production Outlook Form, Report Form ID:
RFS0900. ’’ Collection of reports from regulated parties is covered under the RFS2 ICR, OMB Control No. 2060–0640 (Expiration Date July 31, 2013). A copy of the RFS0900 form may be viewed at http://www.epa.gov/otaq/regs/fuels/ rfs0900.pdf (instructions to form) and http://www.epa.gov/otaq/regs/fuels/ rfs0900.xls (form).

We are requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve this ICR and that it be effective three years after approval.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 4 hours per respondent and 4 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by a person to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to (or for) a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information; to process and maintain information; to disclose and provide information; to adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; to train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. We anticipate 35 respondents, submitting one response each.

The draft supporting statement, which has been placed in the public docket, contains detailed estimates for this proposed ICR.
Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

This is a proposed, new, voluntary information collection. All the estimates provided above, and in the supporting statement (which has been placed in the public docket) are for a new and voluntary collection of information. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the person listed under **FOR FURTHER**

What information is EPA particularly interested in?

Pursuant to section 3506(c) (2) (A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 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. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to?

Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are diesel refiners, importers, and distributors.

Title: Alternative Affirmative Defense Requirements for Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel.

ICR numbers: OMB Control Number 2060–0639; EPA ICR No. 2364.03.

ICR status: This is a proposal to renew an existing ICR. 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, 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: With this information collection request (ICR) renewal, we are seeking permission to continue to accept reports from refiners, importers,and distributors regarding noncomplying sulfur test results.

Specifically, the highway diesel program regulations require most motor vehicle (highway) diesel fuel sold at retail stations to contain 15 parts per million (ppm) sulfur or less (hereafter referred to as ultra low sulfur diesel fuel, or ULSD) beginning October, 2006. Where a violation of the 15 ppm sulfur standard is identified at a retail outlet, the retailer responsible for dispensing the noncompliant fuel is deemed liable, as well as the refiner(s), importer(s) and distributor(s) of such fuel. The highway diesel regulations further provide, however, that any person deemed liable can rebut this presumption by establishing an affirmative defense that includes, among other things, showing that it conducted a quality assurance sampling and testing program as prescribed by the regulations. This ICR covers burdens and costs associated with the provision that allows refiners and importers of ULSD an alternative means of meeting the affirmative defense requirements in the diesel sulfur regulations by participating in a nationwide diesel fuel sampling and testing program. The reporting burden covered by this proposed ICR related to reports that refiners, importers and distributors, have to submit in the event they have a non-complying sulfur test result. ( See 40 CFR 80.613.) The authority citation for the direct final rule and the association information collection is for the following Clean Air Act sections: 42 United States Code §§ 7414, 7542, 7545, and 7601(a).

We are requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) renew this ICR and that it be effective three years after approval.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 16 hours per respondent and 16 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by a person to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to (or for) a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information; to process and maintain information; to disclose and provide information; to adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; to train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. We anticipate 20 respondents, submitting one response each.

The draft supporting statement, which has been placed in the public docket, contains detailed estimates for this proposed ICR.
Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

This is a proposed renewal of an existing information collection. The estimates have not changed from the last approval.
What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
