ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2228.03, OMB Control No. 2060-0566. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2009. 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, 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: With this information collection request (ICR), we are seeking permission to continue to accept notifications from gasoline retailers and wholesale purchaser-consumers related to the commingling of ethanol blended and non-ethanol blended reformulated gasoline (RFG) under section 1513 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) and 40 CFR 80.78(a)(8)(ii)(B); and to provide for a compliance option whereby a retailer or whole sale purchaser-consumer may demonstrate compliance via test results under 40 CFR 80.78(a)(8)(iii)(A). These provisions are designed to grant compliance flexibility. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.50 hours (30 minutes) per respondent and 0.25 hours (15 minutes) 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: Gasoline retailers and wholesale purchaser-consumers. Estimated Number of Respondents: 56,700. Frequency of Response: Occasional. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 27,675 hours. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $885,600 in labor costs exclusively, with zero costs for operations and [[Page 13537]] maintenance and no capital/startup costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of $1,079,325 in the estimated total annual cost compared with that identified in the previous ICR. This change is due to the use of a more appropriate Bureau of Labor Statistics table reflecting costs for the gasoline retail station industry. Dated: March 16, 2010.
