Title: Reformulated Gasoline 

Commingling Provisions (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2228.03, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0566. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on December 31, 2009. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 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: With this information 

collection request (ICR), we are seeking 

permission to continue to accept 

notifications from gasoline retailers and 

wholesale purchaser-consumers related 

to the commingling of ethanol blended 

and non-ethanol blended reformulated 

gasoline (RFG) under section 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 whole sale purchaserconsumer may demonstrate compliance 

via test results under 40 CFR 

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

designed to grant compliance flexibility. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 0.50 hours (30 

minutes) per respondent and 0.25 hours 

(15 minutes) 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Gasoline retailers and wholesale 

purchaser-consumers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

56,700. 

Frequency of Response: Occasional. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

27,675 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$885,600 in labor costs exclusively, 

with zero costs for operations and

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 54 / Monday, March 22, 2010 / Notices 13537 

maintenance and no capital/startup 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of $1,079,325 in the estimated 

total annual cost compared with that 

identified in the previous ICR. This 

change is due to the use of a more 

appropriate Bureau of Labor Statistics 

table reflecting costs for the gasoline 

retail station industry. 

Dated: March 16, 2010.

Clean Water Act Section 303(d): Notice 

of Call for Public Comment on 303(d) 

Program and Ocean Acidification 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Request for Public Comment. 

SUMMARY: This notice solicits public 

comment on the effects of Ocean 

Acidification (OA) as it relates to the 

listing of impaired waters under Section 

303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA). 

Under Section 303(d) of the CWA, 

States, Territories, and authorized 

Tribes are required to develop lists of 

impaired waters and develop Total 

Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the 

pollutant(s) causing the impairment. By 

this notice, EPA is soliciting input from 

the public on what considerations EPA 

should take into account when deciding 

how to address listing of waters as 

threatened or impaired for ocean 

acidification under the 303(d) program. 

Should EPA decide to issue guidance 

regarding the listing of waters as 

threatened or impaired for ocean 

acidification under the 303(d) program, 

EPA is using this opportunity to seek 

public comment on the specific 

assessment, monitoring and other 

elements under CWA that EPA should 

consider, as well as input on how EPA 

can take into account other Federal 

ocean acidification programs and 

initiatives when deciding how to 

approach ocean acidification under the 

303(d) program. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before May 21, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
