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 a manufacturers application for certification to determine if the gasoline container design conforms to applicable regulatory 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.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is decrease of 10 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. The program is now mature and startup costs have largely already been incurred. One successful warranty violation report has been received on an annual basis, as reported above, so warranty report applications are expected to be less time-consuming. The number of manufacturers certifying PFCs is nine (9) and we do not anticipate an increase in new entrants. The increase in anticipated costs is due to the adjustment in expected testing burden and an increase in overall wages across the industry from our previous ICR. We have adjusted the labor expected for respondents according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates for the 2022 model year and we are now using a labor cost modifier also offered by BLS (1.31). Finally, we have increased the anticipated cost of contracting a PFC emission test to reflect the estimated current market rate. \
