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.

Conventional Gasoline reporting is now

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,

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.
