Title: Control of Evaporative Emissions From New and In-Use
Portable Gasoline Containers (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2213.03, OMB Control No. 2060-0597.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2010. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
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 fuel
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 to report successful
warranty claims annually. 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 Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 18
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Importers (including Independent
Commercial Importers) of light duty vehicles or engines, light duty
trucks or engines, and highway motorcycles or engines.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.
Frequency of Response: Annual and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 213.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $20,439, including $10,519 annualized
capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The request lowers the hour burden by
425, from 638 to 213 and increases the O&M and capital cost request
from $519 to $10,519. These changes largely result from reallocation of
contracted testing costs from labor to O&M and adjustment of the
reporting burden to reflect that the normal certificate term is five
years rather than one, as assumed in the prior request.
Dated: June 16, 2010.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
