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 combustion is the 

major source of air pollution in most 

urban areas. In the 1990 amendments to 

the Clean Air Act (Act), section 211(k), 

Congress required that gasoline 

dispensed in nine areas with severe air 

quality problems, and areas that opt-in, 

be reformulated to reduce toxic and 

ozone-forming emissions. (Ozone is also 

known as smog.) Congress also required 

that, in the process of producing 

reformulated gasoline (RFG), dirty 

components removed in the 

reformulation process not be ‘‘dumped’’ 

into the remainder of the country’s 

gasoline, known as conventional 

gasoline (CG). The Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated 

regulations at 40 CFR part 80, subpart 

D—Reformulated Gasoline, subpart E— 

Anti-Dumping, and subpart F—Attest 

Engagements, implementing the 

statutory requirements, which include 

standards for RFG (80.41) and CG 

(80.101). The regulations also contain 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements for the production, 

importation, transport and storage of 

gasoline, in order to demonstrate 

compliance and facilitate compliance 

and enforcement. The program is run by 

the Compliance Division, Office of 

Transportation and Air Quality, Office 

of Air and Radiation. Enforcement is 

done by the Air Enforcement Division, 

Office of Regulatory Enforcement, Office 

of Enforcement and Compliance 

Assurance. This program excludes 

California, which has separate 

requirements for gasoline. 

The United States has an annual 

gasoline consumption of about 133 

billion gallons, of which about 30% is 

RFG. In 2013 EPA received reports from 

255 refineries, 60 importer facilities/

facility groups, 51 oxygenate blending 

facilities, 25 independent laboratory 

facilities, and the RFG Survey 

Association, Inc. under this program. 

Section 211(k) of the Act requires the 

Administrator to promulgate regulations 

establishing requirements for RFG to be 

used in gasoline-fueled vehicles in the 

nine specified nonattainment areas, and 

opt-in areas. The Act specifically 

provides that recordkeeping, reporting, 

and sampling and testing requirements 

are among the tools EPA may use in 

enforcement of the provisions, and also 

provides that EPA must develop an 

enforceable scheme. Sections 114 and 

208 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7414 

and 7542, authorize EPA to require 

recordkeeping and reporting regarding 

enforcement of the provisions of Title II 

of the Clean Air Act. 

Information claimed as confidential is 

handled in accordance with EPA 

Freedom of Information Act regulations 

at 40 CFR 2. Most of the information 

submitted is claimed as such, and the 

forms have a simple check-off for this. 

Data submitted electronically are 

encrypted. Hard copies are housed in a 

secure area. Electronic files are in the 

same area on a secure data base. 

Form Numbers: Reformulated 

Gasoline and Conventional Gasoline 

reporting is now required to be 

completed electronically. The reporting 

is to be made through The EPA Fuels 

Programs Reporting Forms: http://

www.epa.gov/otaq/fuels/reporting/

index.htm. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Recordkeeping and, in some cases, 

reporting are required by the following 

gasoline marketing-related industries, 

SIC codes: Refiners (2911), importers 

(5172), terminals (5171), pipelines 

(4613), truckers and other distributors 

(4212), and retailers/wholesale 

purchaser-consumers (5541). NAICS 

codes: Refiners (324110), pipelines 

(486910) and terminals (424710). Not all 

NAICS codes for the responsible 

reporting parties were found. These are, 

however, parties which are obligated to 

report: Importers, truckers and other 

distributors and retailers/wholesale 

purchaser-consumers. Some refiners are 

importers but that is not always the 

case. Many of the required records are 

generated and maintained currently in 

the normal course of business. Without 

the required records EPA would be 

unable to enforce the Congressionallymandated RFG and anti-dumping 

requirements. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory per 40 CFR Part 80. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

4,068. 

Frequency of response: Quarterly, 

Annually, on Occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 127,041 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $41,007,628 (per 

year), includes $12,177,318 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: Compared with 

the ICR currently approved by OMB, 

there is no change of burden hours. 

There is an increase in the total burden 

cost due to the update in labor salaries.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems 

that the state, tribe, or local government 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 170 / Wednesday, September 3, 2014 / Notices 52319 

will use to implement the electronic 

reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) 

through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D 

provides special procedures for program 

revisions and modifications to allow 

electronic reporting, to be used at the 

option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the subpart 

D procedures must show that the state, 

tribe or local government has sufficient 

legal authority to implement the 

electronic reporting components of the 

programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

On January 14, 2010, the Arizona 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(ADEQ) submitted an application titled 

‘‘AZ ADEQ SmartNOI/SDWIS Lab to 

State’’ for revisions/modifications of its 

EPA-authorized programs under title 40 

CFR. EPA reviewed ADEQ’s request to 

revise/modify its EPA-authorized 

programs and, based on this review, 

EPA determined that the application 

met the standards for approval of 

authorized program revisions/

modifications set out in 40 CFR part 3, 

subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 

3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s decision 

to approve Arizona’s request to revise/ 

modify its following EPA-authorized 

programs to allow electronic reporting 

under 40 CFR parts 122 and 141 is being 

published in the Federal Register: Part 

123—EPA Administered Permit 

Programs: The National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System; and Part 

142—National Primary Drinking Water 

Regulations Implementation. 

ADEQ was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized programs 

listed above. 

Also, in today’s notice, EPA is 

informing interested persons that they 

may request a public hearing on EPA’s 

action to approve the State of Arizona’s 

request to revise its authorized public 

water system program under 40 CFR 

part 142, in accordance with 40 CFR 

3.1000(f). Requests for a hearing must be 

submitted to EPA within 30 days of 

publication of today’s Federal Register 

notice. Such requests should include 

the following information: (1) The 

name, address and telephone number of 

the individual, organization or other 

entity requesting a hearing; (2) A brief 

statement of the requesting person’s 

interest in EPA’s determination, a brief 

explanation as to why EPA should hold 

a hearing, and any other information 

that the requesting person wants EPA to 

consider when determining whether to 

grant the request; (3) The signature of 

the individual making the request, or, if 

the request is made on behalf of an 

organization or other entity, the 

signature of a responsible official of the 

organization or other entity. 

In the event a hearing is requested 

and granted, EPA will provide notice of 

the hearing in the Federal Register not 

less than 15 days prior to the scheduled 

hearing date. Frivolous or insubstantial 

requests for hearing may be denied by 

EPA. Following such a public hearing, 

EPA will review the record of the 

hearing and issue an order either 

affirming today’s determination or 

rescinding such determination. If no 

timely request for a hearing is received 

and granted, EPA’s approval of the State 

of Arizona’s request to revise its part 

142—National Primary Drinking Water 

Regulations Implementation program to 

allow electronic reporting will become 

effective 30 days after today’s notice is 

published, pursuant to CROMERR 

section 3.1000(f)(4).
