Terms of Clearance: This collection is approved until April 2004. The previous terms of clearance continue to apply, and are reprinted below for reference. OMB notes that EPA does not appear to have correctly estimated the burden change resulting from this ICR. As soon as practicable, EPA should review its burden estimate, and submit any needed changes to OMB. The December 5, 2001 terms of clearance follow: This collection is approved until April 2004. OMB notes that EPA should review the paper and internet versions of its forms to ensure that the expiration dates are correct and update Form 3520-20C to include non-certified FRGAS. As a term of this approval, OMB recommends that EPA continue to monitor the burden and practical utility of this collection. In particular, OMB is concerned that collection of the T50 and T90 parameters on the RFG and CG batch reports may lack practical utility. In its renewal of this collection, EPA should carefully examine the practical utility of collecting these parameters. If EPA proposes to continue collecting these parameters, the renewal ICR should provide documentation explaining how these parameters have been used during the present approval period. More generally, OMB notes that EPA standards for low-sulfur gasoline will take effect in 2004. OMB recommends that EPA evaluate the practical utility of this collection (and the RFG program) in light of the significant air quality benefits of the Tier 2 low-sulfur gasoline program and other existing or planned fuel regulations.

Abstract: This action modifies certain provisions of the final rule establishing standards and requirements for reformulated (RFG) and conventional gasoline pursuant to Sec 211(K) of the Clean Air Act. These modifications relate to the establishment of a new annual compliance date for receipt of RFG and reformu- lated gasoline blendstock for oxygenate blending (RBOB), simpli- fication of the existing regulations regarding blendstock trans- fers, and the updating of ASTM designate analytical sampling and testing methods to their most recent versions. The modifications regarding blendstock transfers result in a reduction ....
