Manufacturers of gasolines, diesel fuels, and additives for gasoline and/or diesel are required to conduct health-effects research, unless they qualify for an exemption. Many small businesses are exempt from some or all of the requirements. Manufacturers of similar products have the opportunity to group and share the expenses. The information will be used to identify products whose emissions may pose an unreasonable risk by public health.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
