The requirements covered under this Information Collection Request (ICR) are included in the Tier 3 proposed rule (78 FR 29816, May 21, 2013). The scope of the recordkeeping and reporting requirements for each type of party in the gasoline, gasoline additive, oxygenate, certified ethanol denaturant, and blender-grade pentane distribution systems, and therefore the cost to that party, reflects the party's opportunity to create, control or alter the product's sulfur content. As a result, petroleum refiners/importers, gasoline additive producers/importers, oxygenate producers/importers, certified ethanol denaturant producers/importers, and blender-grade pentane producers and importers have more significant requirements, which are necessary both for their own tracking and that of downstream parties, and for EPA enforcement. At the same time, parties downstream from the product's production or import point, such as fuel distributors, have fewer requirements under the proposed rule. The recordkeeping and reporting requirements for refiners and importers of motor vehicle gasoline under the proposed Tier 3 program are the same requirements that exist under the Tier 2 sulfur program. The Tier 3 proposed rule contains new recordkeeping and reporting requirements that apply to gasoline additive manufacturers, oxygenate producers/importers, blender-grade pentane producers/importers, and produces/importers of certified ethanol denaturants that are used to produce denatured fuel ethanol. In large part these proposed requirements are consistent with common business practices. The costs associated with the proposed requirements are expected to be small. The proposal to allow blender-grade pentane to be added gasoline downstream of the refinery would provide additional flexibility to industry.
