What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does This Apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are the 

manufacturers of motor-vehicle 

gasoline, motor-vehicle diesel fuel, and 

additives for those fuels. 

Title: Registration of Fuels and Fuel 

Additives—Requirements for 

Manufacturers. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0309.13, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0150. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on July 31, 2010. 

An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, 

and a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information, unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 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: In accordance with the 

regulations at 40 CFR Part 79, Subparts 

A, B, C, and D, Registration of Fuels and 

Fuel Additives, manufacturers 

(including importers) of motor-vehicle 

gasoline, motor-vehicle diesel fuel, and 

additives for those fuels, are required to 

have these products registered by the 

EPA prior to their introduction into 

commerce. Registration involves 

providing a chemical description of the 

fuel or additive, and certain technical, 

marketing, and health-effects 

information. The development of 

health-effects data, as required by 40 

CFR Part 79, Subpart F, is covered by a 

separate information collection. 

Manufacturers are also required to 

submit periodic reports (annually for 

additives, quarterly and annually for 

fuels) on production volume and related 

information. The information is used to 

identify products whose evaporative or 

combustion emissions may pose an 

unreasonable risk to public health, thus 

meriting further investigation and 

potential regulation. The information is 

also used to ensure that gasoline 

additives comply with EPA 

requirements for protecting catalytic 

converters and other automotive 

emission controls. The data have been 

used to construct a comprehensive data 

base on fuel and additive composition. 

The Mine Safety and Health 

Administration of the Department of 

Labor restricts the use of diesel 

additives in underground coal mines to 

those registered by EPA. Most of the 

information is confidential. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average two hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 1500. 

Frequency of response: On occasion, 

quarterly, annually. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 6. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

19,700. 

Estimated total annual costs: $2.2 

million. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $2.17 million and an 

estimated cost of $0.04 million for 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Are There Changes in the Estimates 

From the Last Approval? 

There is an increase of 2,550 hours in 

the total estimated annual respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

This increase reflects EPA’s updating of 

burden estimates. The increase is due to 

an increase in the number of registered 

fuels. 

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 

technical person listed under FOR

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[EPA–HQ–OPP–2005–0123; FRL–8805–9] 

Methyl Bromide; Amendments to 

Terminate Uses 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

order for the amendments to terminate 

uses, voluntarily requested by the 

registrants and accepted by the Agency, 

of products containing the pesticide 

methyl bromide listed in Table 1, 

pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA), as amended. This order 

follows a September 30, 2009 Federal 

Register Notice of Receipt of Requests 

from the registrants listed in Table 2 to 

amend to terminate post-harvest methyl 

bromide uses in or on alfalfa hay and 

cottonseed for these product 

registrations. These are the last products 

containing the pesticide methyl bromide 

registered for use on alfalfa hay and 

cotton seed in the United States. In the 

September 30, 2009 notice, EPA 

indicated that it would issue an order 

implementing the amendments to 

terminate uses, unless the Agency 

received substantive comments within 

the 30–day comment period that would 

merit its further review of these 

requests, or unless the registrants 

withdrew their requests within this 

period. The Agency did not receive any 

comments on the notice. Further, the 

registrants did not withdraw their 

requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby 

issues in this notice a cancellation order 

granting the requested amendments to 

terminate uses. Any distribution, sale, 

or use of the products subject to this 

cancellation order is permitted only in 

accordance with the terms of this order,

product. 

2. Existing stocks labeled for postharvest alfalfa hay and post-harvest 

cottonseed uses may be sold and 

distributed by persons other than the 

registrant until October 31, 2010.
