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. 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 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. 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. Data submitted electronically are encrypted and housed in a secure area.

Form: 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: 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. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory per 40 CFR part 80.

Estimated number of respondents: 4,283.

Frequency of response: Quarterly, Annually, on Occasion.

Total estimated burden: 127,246 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)

T otal estimated cost: $39,223,076 (per year), includes $24,713,032 in non-labor
costs.

Changes in Estimates: Compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB, there is an increase in the total estimated burden. The increase from 127,041 hours to 127,246 hours is because additional regulations that were introduced through rule making.

Abstract: Respondents are owners or operators of friction materials manufacturing facilities. The NESHAP contains an emission limitation for solvent mixers at friction materials manufacturing facilities. Solvent mixers are the affected source. Friction materials manufacturing facilities manufacture friction material using a solvent-based process. Friction material is subsequently used to manufacture friction products that include, but are not limited to, disc brake pucks, disc brake pads, brake linings, brake shoes, brake segments, brake blocks, brake discs, clutch facings, and clutches.

Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of friction materials manufacturing facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart QQQQQ).

Estimated number of respondents: 4 (total).

Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and annually.

Total estimated burden: 1,291 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $127,502 (per year), includes $1,088 in annualized capital and/or operation & maintenance
costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of five hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by the OMB. This decrease is due to a discrepancy identified in the previous ICR. The previous ICR assumed all existing plants transmit one-time notifications, a burden item that only applies to new sources. Since no new sources are expected over the next three-year period of the ICR, the ICR was revised to remove this burden, which resulted in a decrease in burden hours.

There is also an increase in the estimated burden cost due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR references the most recent labor rates available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the OPM to calculate burden costs.
