docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/
dockets.
Abstract: EPA is required under
Section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act to
regulate Volatile Organic Compound
(VOC) emissions from the use of
consumer and commercial products.
Under regulations promulgated on
February 26, 2007 (72 FR 8428)
manufacturers of new portable gasoline
containers are required to obtain
certificates of conformity with the Clean
Air Act, effective January 1, 2009. This
ICR covers the burdens associated with
this certification process. EPA reviews
information submitted in the
application for certification to
determine if the container design
conforms to applicable requirements
and to verify that the required testing
has been performed. The certificate
holder is required to keep records on the
testing and collect and keep warranty
and defect information for annual
reporting on in-use performance of their
products. The respondent must also
retain records on the units produced,
apply serial numbers to individual
containers, and track the serial numbers
to their certificates of conformity. Any
information submitted for which a claim
of confidentiality is made is safeguarded
according to EPA regulations at 40 CFR
2.201 et seq.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Manufacturers of new portable gasoline
containers from 0.25 to 10.0 gallons in
capacity.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory under 40 CFR part 59,
subpart F.
Estimated number of respondents: 8
(total).
Frequency of response: Annually for
warranty reports; at least once every five
years for certificate renewals.
Total estimated burden: 179 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $21,668 (per
year), which includes $12,552 in
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is a
decrease of 34 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease is due to minor
adjustments in the burden estimates,
which are detailed in the ICR
Supporting Statement.

dockets.
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 the subject of
this ICR. The health-effects data will be
used to determine if there are any
products which have evaporative or
combustion emissions that may pose an
unreasonable risk to public health, thus
meriting further investigation and
potential regulation. This information is
required for specific groups of fuels and
additives as defined in the regulations.
Manufacturers may perform the
research independently or may join
with other manufacturers to share in the
costs for each applicable group. Several
research consortiums (groups of
manufacturers) have been formed. The
largest consortium, organized by the
American Petroleum Institute (API),
represents most of the manufacturers of
baseline gasoline, baseline diesel fuel,
baseline fuel additives, and the
prominent non-baseline oxygenated
additives for gasoline. The research is
structured into three tiers of
requirements for each group. Tier 1
requires an emissions characterization
and a literature search for information
on the health effects of those emissions.
Voluminous Tier 1 data for gasoline and
diesel fuel were submitted by API and
others in 1997. Tier 1 data have been
submitted for biodiesel, water/diesel

emulsions, several atypical additives,
and renewable gasoline and diesel fuels.
Tier 2 requires short-term inhalation
exposures of laboratory animals to
emissions to screen for adverse health
effects. Tier 2 data have been submitted
for baseline diesel, biodiesel, and water/
diesel emulsions. Alternative Tier 2
testing can be required in lieu of
standard Tier 2 testing if EPA concludes
that such testing would be more
appropriate. EPA reached that
conclusion with respect to gasoline and
gasoline-oxygenate blends, and
alternative requirements were
established for the API consortium for
baseline gasoline and six gasolineoxygenate blends. Alternative Tier 2
requirements have also been established
for the manganese additive MMT
manufactured by the Afton Chemical
Corporation (formerly the Ethyl
Corporation). Tier 3 provides for followup research, at EPA’s discretion, when
remaining uncertainties as to the
significance of observed health effects,
welfare effects, and/or emissions
exposures from a fuel or fuel/additive
mixture interfere with EPA’s ability to
make reasonable estimates of the
potential risks posed by emissions from
a fuel or additive. To date, EPA has not
imposed any Tier 3 requirements. Under
Section 211 of the Clean Air Act, (1)
submission of the health-effects
information is necessary for a
manufacturer to obtain registration of a
motor-vehicle gasoline, diesel fuel, or
fuel additive, and thus be allowed to
introduce that product into commerce,
and (2) the information shall not be
considered confidential.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Manufacturers of motor-vehicle
gasoline, motor-vehicle diesel fuel, and
additives for those fuels.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory per 40 CFR part 79.
Estimated number of respondents: 2.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total Estimated Burden: 19,200 hours
per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total Estimated Cost: $2,078,280 per
year, which includes $537,000 in
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is a
decrease 2,000 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease is due to the
