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

Abstract: With this information 

collection request (ICR), the Office of 

Air and Radiation (OAR) is seeking 

permission to accept notifications from 

gasoline retailers and wholesale 

purchaser-consumers related to 

commingling of ethanol blended and 

non-ethanol-blended reformulated 

gasoline (RFG) under § 1513 of the 

Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) and 

40 CFR 80.78(a)(8)(ii)(B); and to provide 

for a compliance option whereby a 

retailer or wholesale purchaserconsumer may demonstrate compliance 

via test results under 

§ 80.78(a)(8)(iii)(A). These provisions 

are designed to grant compliance 

flexibility. Parties were first subject to 

this recordkeeping and reporting on 

June 1, 2006. 

Section 1513 of the EPAct addresses 

the combining of ethanol-blended RFG 

with non-ethanol-blended RFG. This 

provision amended the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) to add a new § 211(s) providing 

retail outlets two ten-day opportunities 

during a single VOC-control season to 

blend batches of ethanol-blended and 

non-ethanol- blended RFG. Under this 

new section, retail outlets are allowed to 

sell non-ethanol-blended RFG which 

has been combined with ethanol 

blended RFG under certain conditions. 

Form Numbers: No. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Gasoline Stations, Gasoline stations 

with convenience stores, Gasoline 

stations without convenience stores 

Respondent’s Obligation to Respond: 

mandatory Section 114 and 208 of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA), 42 U.S.C. 7414 

and 7542 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

39,165 (total). 

Frequency of Response: Annually 

Total Estimated Burden: 19,116 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b) 

Total Estimated Cost: $344,093 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: The change in 

burden from the prior ICR is due in part 

to better numbers extracted from 

business and industry economic 

statistics that assisted in calculating the 

numbers of respondents. These better 

numbers reduced the party size by 5,750 

members. The number of responses also 

declined from 84,050 to 76,465, a 

difference of 7,585 reports, which 

reduced the industry burden hours from 

21,013 hours to 19,116 hours, a 

difference of 1,897 hours. With the 

decline of respondents, burden hours 

and responses, the cost associated with 

this ICR is $344,093 a difference of 

$13,128 calculated from the prior 

collection approved by OMB.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: Federal agencies have 

been cooperating since 2001 under a 

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 

on the research and development of 

multimedia environmental models. The 

MOU, which was revised in 2016, 

establishes a framework for facilitating 

cooperation and coordination among the 

six following agencies (the specific 

research organization within the agency 

is in parentheses): National Science 

Foundation; U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Engineer Research and 

Development Center); U.S. Department 

of Energy (Office of Biological and 

Environmental Research); U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(Office of Research and Development); 

U.S. Geological Survey; and U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Office 

of Nuclear Regulatory Research). These 

agencies are cooperating and 

coordinating in the research and 

development of multimedia 

environmental models, software and 

related databases, including 

development, enhancements, 

applications and assessments of site 

specific, generic, and process-oriented 

multimedia environmental models. 

Multimedia model development and 

simulation supports interagency 

interests in human and environmental 

health risk assessment, uncertainty 

analyses, water supply issues and 

contaminant transport. 

Purpose of the Public Meeting: The 

public meeting provides an opportunity 

for other Federal and State agencies, the 

scientific community, and the public to 

be briefed on ISCMEM activities and 

initiatives, and to discuss technological 

advancements in multimedia 

environmental modeling. 

Proposed Agenda: The ISCMEM Chair 

will open the meeting with an overview 

of the goals of the MOU and current 

activities of ISCMEM, followed by a 

series of presentations on modeling 

efforts in the Agencies in the morning, 

and Workgroup discussions on the 

afternoon. 

Meeting Access: The meeting will be 

available through Web Meeting 

Services. To obtain web access, all 

interested attendees must pre-register by 

emailing Brenda Rashleigh 

(Rashleigh.Brenda@epa.gov) or Bill 

Cooper (WJCOOPER@nsf.gov), 

indicating their intent to participate in 

the meeting and providing their full 

contact information and affiliation.
