Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act
(CAA), EPA granted partial waivers that
allow gasoline containing greater than
10 volume percent (vol%) ethanol up to
15 vol% ethanol (E15) to be introduced
into commerce for use in model year
(MY) 2001 and newer light-duty motor
vehicles, subject to certain conditions.
EPA issued final rule establishing
several measures to mitigate misfueling
of other vehicles, engines and
equipment with E15 and the potential
emissions consequences of misfueling.
The rule prohibits the use of gasoline
containing more than 10 vol% ethanol
in vehicles, engines and equipment that
are not covered by the partial waiver
decisions. The rule also requires all E15
gasoline fuel dispensers to have a
specific label when a retail station or
wholesale-purchaser consumer chooses
to sell E15. In addition, the rule requires
that product transfer documents (PTDs)
specifying ethanol content and Reid
Vapor Pressure (RVP) accompany the
transfer of gasoline blended with
ethanol, and a survey of retail stations
to ensure compliance with these
requirements. The rule also modifies the
Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) program
by updating the Complex Model to
allow fuel manufacturers to certify
batches of gasoline containing up to 15
vol% ethanol. This ICR supporting
statement addresses associated
recordkeeping and reporting items.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 80).
Estimated number of respondents:
2,103 (total).
Estimated number of responses:
44,000,103.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 13,270 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $ 1,340,292,
which includes no annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: We expect
there will be a decrease in the total
estimated respondents, responses and

cost to the industry compared to the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This
change in burden is due to no longer
requiring the programing of product
transfer codes in this collection. The
respondent universe decreased from
6,211 to 2,103, a difference of 4,108
members. The number of responses
declined from 44,010,211 to 44,000,103,
a difference of 10,108 reports. This
reduced the industry burden hours from
37,350 to 13,270.
