This ICR is
approved until December 31, 2000. OMB is concerned that the number
of responses and respondents for this collection are not reported
accurately. Within the next three months, EPA should recalculate
the number of responses based on the underlying assumptions in this
information collection request and the underlying approved
collections. In addition, prior to the next submission of this
collection for approval, EPA should ensure that its estimate of the
number of respondents is accurate.

This action modifies certain
provisions of the final rule establishing standards and
requirements for reformulated (RFG) and conventional gasoline
pursuant to subsection 211(k) of the Clean Air Act. These
modifications relate to emissions standards, compliance-related
requirements, and enforcement provisions. These modifications will
make RFG and conventional gasoline regulations more workable for
industry and result in greater flexibility for parties to
demonstrate compliance with emissions standards. Certain
modifications require a modest increase in information collection
activities.
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
