Abstract
In
accordance
with
the
regulations
at
40
CFR
79,
Subparts
A,
B,
C,
D
and
F,
Registration
of
Fuels
and
Fuel
Additives,
manufacturers
of
(
1)
motor
vehicle
gasoline,
(
2)
motor
vehicle
diesel
fuel,
and
(
3)
additives
for
those
fuels,
are
required
to
have
their
products
registered
by
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
prior
to
their
introduction
into
commerce.
Registration
involves
providing
(
1)
a
chemical
description
of
the
fuel
or
additive,
(
2)
certain
technical
and
marketing
information,
and
(
3)
any
health­
effects
information
in
company
files.
(
The
portion
of
Subpart
F
requiring
the
development
of
health­
effects
data
is
covered
by
a
separate
information
collection.)
Manufacturers
are
also
required
to
submit
periodic
reports
on
production
and
related
information.
The
program
is
run
by
the
Transportation
and
Regional
Programs
Division,
Office
of
Transportation
and
Air
Quality,
Office
of
Air
and
Radiation.
The
information
is
used
to
(
1)
identify
products
whose
evaporative
or
exhaust
emissions
pose
a
particular
threat
to
public
health,
thus
meriting
further
investigation
and/
or
regulation,
(
2)
ensure
that
EPA
compositional
requirements
for
unleaded
gasoline
are
met
before
a
product
is
registered
and
introduced
into
commerce,
and
(
3)
maintain
a
comprehensive
data
base
of
motor
vehicle
fuel
and
additive
composition.
Most
of
the
compositional
information
is
confidential.
Lists
of
registered
fuels
and
additives
are
available
at
www.
epa.
gov/
otaq/
fuels.
The
information
is
collected
and
stored
in
hard
copy,
with
most
entered
into
a
computer
data
base.
There
are
approximately
120
fuel
manufacturers,
660
additive
manufacturers,
600
registered
fuels,
and
5600
registered
additives.
These
numbers
change
daily.
The
annual
cost
to
industry
is
estimated
at
$
1
million.
The
annual
cost
to
the
government
is
estimated
at
$
317,000.
This
program
also
serves
as
a
vehicle
for
the
administration
of
the
program
for
the
certification
of
deposit
control/
detergent
gasoline
additives
at
40
CFR
80.
By
using
this
existing
registration
program
the
EPA
avoided
having
to
establish
an
additional
registration
program
for
gasoline
detergent
additives.
The
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
unique
to
this
certification
program
are
covered
by
a
separate
information
collection.
In
addition,
per
30
CFR
75.1901(
c),
only
registered
diesel
fuel
additives
may
be
used
in
diesel­
powered
equipment
for
underground
coal
mining.
Thus
the
Mine
Safety
and
Health
Administration
of
the
Department
of
Labor
is
able
to
utilize
this
program.
OMB
raised
two
concerns
about
public
comments
received
regarding
renewal
of
this
ICR.
Namely,
that
all
of
the
information
included
in
the
annual
manufacturers
reports
on
gasoline
can
be
extracted
from
much
more
detailed
reports
that
are
now
required
to
be
submitted
under
the
RFG
rule
and
in
addition,
the
usefulness
of
the
quarterly
manufacturers
reports.
Those
issues
are
discussed
in
section
4
(
b)
of
this
Supporting
Statement.

NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
Motor
vehicles
comprise
the
major
source
of
air
pollution
in
most
urban
areas,
and
account
for
about
half
the
toxic
air
emissions
in
the
United
States.
Congress
demonstrated
its
strong
concern
for
the
protection
of
public
health
by
providing
broad
legislative
authority
to
monitor
and
regulate
fuels,
fuel
additives,
and
their
emissions.
This
registration
program
was
established
by
the
Air
Quality
Act
of
1967,
carried
forward
into
the
Clean
Air
Act
(
Act)
of
1970,
and
strengthened
in
the
Act's
1977
and
1990
reauthorizations.
Section
211(
a)
of
the
Act
provides
EPA
with
the
authority
to
designate
any
mobile
source
fuel
or
additive
for
registration.
Any
fuel
or
additive
with
the
potential
for
a
significant
emissions
impact
on
the
public
would
be
an
appropriate
candidate.
Once
designated,
it
may
not
be
introduced
into
commerce
until
it
has
been
registered
by
EPA.
Section
211(
b)
requires,
for
the
purpose
of
registration,
that
the
manufacturer
provide
certain
compositional
and
related
information,
and
available
health­
effects
data.
Section
211(
b)
also
provides
EPA
with
the
authority
to
require
health­
effects
testing.
The
original
regulations
were
promulgated
by
the
Department
of
Health,
Education,
and
Welfare
in
1970,
and
transferred
to
the
EPA
shortly
thereafter.
They
ultimately
resided
at
40
CFR
79
(
Attachment
1)
and
were
revised
in
1975,
1976,
and
1978.
Due
to
their
broad
public
emissions
exposure,
motor
vehicle
gasolines
and
diesel
fuels,
and
their
additives,
were
designated.
Section
211(
e)
(
1977
amendments)
directs
EPA
to
establish
health­
effects
testing
requirements,
and
those
regulations
were
promulgated
in
1994
as
Subpart
F
of
40
CFR
79.
(
Changes
to
the
regulations
have
reduced
the
burdens,
particularly
for
small
businesses.)
They
are
structured
into
three
tiers
of
requirements
for
specific
fuel/
additive
categories.
Tier
1,
due
in
May
1997,
required
an
emissions
characterization
and
a
literature
search
for
health­
effects
information
on
those
emissions.
Tier
2,
due
in
May
2000,
required
short­
term
inhalation
exposures
of
laboratory
animals
to
emissions
to
screen
for
adverse
health
effects.
The
regulations
also
allow
for
alternative
Tier
2
testing
if
more
appropriate.
The
major
gasoline
oxygenates
and
a
manganese
additive
for
gasoline
are
undergoing
such
alternative
testing.
Follow­
up
studies,
if
required,
would
occur
under
Tier
3.
(
The
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
of
these
tiers
are
covered
by
a
separate
information
collection.)
The
objective
of
the
program
is
to
determine
if
there
are
any
fuels
and/
or
additives
whose
evaporative
emissions
or
products
of
combustion
pose
a
particular
danger
to
public
health
or
welfare.
Section
211(
c)
of
the
Act
provides
EPA
with
the
authority
to
regulate
such
fuels
and
additives.
For
example,
the
use
of
lead
additives
in
gasoline,
gasoline
volatility,
and
the
sulphur
content
of
gasoline
and
diesel
fuel,
have
been
regulated.
In
order
to
assist
the
EPA
in
assessing
the
extent
of
public
exposure
to
a
given
fuel
or
additive,
the
regulations
require
additive
manufacturers
to
submit
annual
reports
on
production.
Fuel
manufacturers
are
required
to
submit
quarterly
production
reports.
The
manufacturers
are
also
required
to
report
annually
on
any
new
health
effects
data
they
may
have
acquired.
Copies
of
the
sections
of
the
Act
mentioned
above
are
in
Attachment
2.
3
Another
objective
of
the
program
is
the
review
of
an
unleaded
gasoline
additive's
composition
for
compliance
with
EPA
restrictions.
In
order
to
protect
catalytic
converters
and
other
emission
control
devices,
there
are
specific
compositional
limitations.
On
a
number
of
occasions
the
EPA
has
informed
a
manufacturer
that
its
additive
could
not
be
registered
until
the
formulation
was
modified
to
comply
with
those
requirements.
An
added
benefit
of
the
program
has
been
the
development
of
a
comprehensive
data
base
of
gasoline
and
diesel
fuel/
additive
composition.
These
data
have
proven
useful
in
a
number
of
fuels
issues,
such
as
the
identification
of
diesel
additives
that
would
likely
contribute
to
the
formation
of
dioxin
emissions.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
lists
of
registered
fuels
and
additives
are
available
to
the
public.
The
fuel,
additive,
and
motor
vehicle
industries
are
well
aware
that
gasolines,
diesel
fuels,
and
their
additives,
must
be
registered
before
they
may
be
introduced
into
commerce
for
use
in
motor
vehicles.
A
separate
list
of
registered
gasoline
detergent
additives
is
also
available.
These
lists
are
frequently
requested
by
the
manufacturers
in
order
to
maintain
an
awareness
of
competing
products.
In
accordance
with
regulations
promulgated
by
the
Mine
Safety
and
Health
Administration,
only
registered
diesel
additives
may
be
used
in
diesel­
powered
equipment
for
underground
coal
mining.
Most
of
the
data
have
been
claimed
as
business
confidential
by
the
manufacturers.
Thus
access
is
restricted
to
authorized
EPA
personnel
and
contractors.
The
data
have
been
extremely
valuable
in
EPA's
evaluation
of
certain
fuels
issues.
Most
notably,
the
compositional
data
required
since
the
program's
inception
were
instrumental
in
establishing
the
fuel/
additive
testing
categories
in
the
1994
health­
effects
testing
rules
(
Subpart
F,
40
CFR
79).
If
these
data
(
Tier
1
due
May
1997,
Tier
2
due
May
2000)
indicate
a
particular
threat
to
public
health
from
the
evaporative
or
exhaust
emissions
of
a
fuel
or
additive,
they
will
be
used
to
support
regulatory
action
under
section
211(
c)
of
the
Act.
Section
211(
f)
of
the
Act
prohibits
the
introduction
into
commerce
of
fuels
and
additives
which
are
not
"
substantially
similar"
to
those
used
by
the
vehicle
manufacturers
in
emissions
certification
(
unless
a
waiver
is
granted).
The
objective
is
to
protect
emission
controls
from
potentially
damaging
fuels
and
additives.
The
term
"
substantially
similar"
for
unleaded
gasoline
has
been
defined
via
interpretive
rule.
Elemental
composition
is
restricted
to
carbon,
hydrogen,
oxygen,
nitrogen,
and
sulphur.
On
a
number
of
occasions
additive
manufacturers
have
attempted
to
register
additives
for
unleaded
gasoline
which
did
not
meet
these
requirements.
Thus,
the
registration
program
has
been
instrumental
in
enforcing
requirements
that
were
established
independently
of
the
registration
regulations
at
40
CFR
79.
The
fuel/
additive
data
base
has
proven
extremely
useful
in
the
analysis
of
other
fuels
issues.
For
example,
the
data
have
been
used
to
assess
the
development
and
use
of
gasoline
detergent
additives.

NONDUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS,
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
4
3(
a)
Nonduplication
To
our
knowledge,
this
is
the
only
program
which
requires
additive
manufacturers
to
report
the
composition
of
their
additives,
and
gasoline
and
diesel
fuel
manufacturers
to
report
the
usage
of
additives
in
their
fuels.
It
is
the
only
program
under
which
these
manufacturers
must
develop
information
on
the
emissions
health
effects
of
their
products.
Production
volumes
for
additives
are
not
reported
elsewhere.
Nowhere
else
are
the
production
volumes
for
gasoline
and
diesel
fuels
reported
in
conjunction
with
additive
usage
in
those
fuels.
Such
data
are
necessary
in
order
to
gauge
the
extent
of
public
exposure
to
the
emissions
of
a
fuel,
additive,
or
particular
fuel/
additive
combinations.

The
Mine
Safety
and
Health
Administration
(
MSHA),
U.
S.
Department
of
Labor,
views
this
program
as
beneficial
in
that
it
will
provide
information
on
the
diesel
emissions
to
which
underground
coal
miners
are
exposed.
MSHA
regulations
limit
the
diesel
additives
used
in
underground
coal
mining
to
those
that
have
been
registered
by
EPA.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Registration
of
a
designated
fuel
or
additive
is
required
only
once,
although
the
manufacturer
is
required
to
notify
EPA
if
changes
occur
in
the
information
provided.
The
quarterly
and
annual
reports
for
fuel
manufacturers,
and
annual
reports
for
additive
manufacturers,
are
appropriate
in
order
to
monitor
patterns
of
fuel
and
additive
usage
in
a
timely
manner.
Should
the
upcoming
health­
effects
data
indicate
that
certain
fuel/
additive
combinations
are
of
concern,
their
history
of
usage
would
be
necessary
in
order
to
assess
the
extent
of
public
exposure.
If
these
fuel/
additive
combinations
were
to
experience
a
significant
increase
in
usage,
it
would
be
important
to
know
that
on
a
quarterly
basis.
Likewise,
if
certain
additives
were
to
experience
a
dramatic
increase
in
production,
it
would
be
important
to
have
that
reported
on
at
least
an
annual
basis.

General
Guidelines
All
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
guidelines
are
met.

3(
f)
Confidentiality
The
availability
to
the
public
of
information
submitted
for
this
program
is
governed
by
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act
(
FOIA)
regulations
for
EPA
at
40
CFR
2,
with
the
exception
that
all
health
and
safety
test
data
and
other
information
concerning
health
and
welfare
effects,
submitted
pursuant
to
Subpart
F,
shall
be
public.
Lists
of
the
registered
fuels
and
additives
are
publicly
available.
The
majority
of
the
manufacturers
consider,
for
competitive
reasons,
the
compositional
information
for
their
fuels
and
additives
to
be
confidential.
EPA's
Office
of
General
Counsel
has
consistently
ruled
that
confidentiality
is
justified
when
such
information
has
been
requested
under
the
FOIA.
Because
most
of
the
information
is
confidential,
this
program
is
housed
in
a
separate
office
protected
by
a
multi­
sensor
alarm
system
by
KASTLE
Systems,
Inc.
with
24­
hour
monitoring.
Access
is
via
a
cardlock
system
for
authorized
personnel
only.
Paper
files
are
secured
in
combination
lock,
fireproof
cabinets
with
each
cabinet
requiring
its
own
unique
sequence
to
be
unlocked.
Data
processing
is
performed
solely
on
computers
in
the
secure
area.
These
computers
have
no
connections
outside
the
secure
area
and
employ
password
security
measures.
Contractor
personnel
handle
routine
administrative
tasks,
data
input,

Data
Items
The
following
definitions
at
40
CFR
79.2
are
important
to
the
understanding
of
the
reporting
requirements:
"
Fuel
manufacturer"
means
any
person
who,
for
sale
or
introduction
into
commerce,
produces,
manufacturers,
or
imports
a
fuel
or
causes
or
directs
the
alteration
of
the
chemical
composition
of
a
bulk
fuel,
or
the
mixture
of
chemical
compounds
in
a
bulk
fuel,
by
adding
to
it
an
additive,
except:
(
1)
A
party
(
other
than
a
fuel
refiner
or
importer)
who
adds
a
quantity
of
additive(
s)
amounting
to
less
than
1.0
percent
by
volume
of
the
resultant
additive(
s)/
fuel
mixture
is
not
thereby
considered
a
fuel
manufacturer.
(
2)
A
party
(
other
than
a
fuel
refiner
or
importer)
who
adds
an
oxygenate
compound
to
fuel
in
any
otherwise
allowable
amount
is
not
thereby
considered
a
fuel
manufacturer.
"
Additive"
means
any
substance,
other
than
one
composed
solely
of
carbon
and/
or
hydrogen,
that
is
intentionally
added
to
a
fuel
named
in
the
designation
(
including
any
added
to
a
motor
vehicle's
fuel
system)
and
that
is
not
intentionally
removed
prior
to
sale
or
use.
"
Additive
manufacturer"
means
any
person
who
produces,
manufacturers,
or
imports
an
additive
for
use
as
an
additive
and/
or
sells
or
imports
for
sale
such
additive
under
the
person's
own
name.
Motor

In
the
previous
clearance
for
this
collection,
OMB
raised
the
following
two
summarized
questions
concerning
the
fuel
manufacturer
quarterly
and
annual
reports:
(
1)
Is
the
gasoline
annual
report
duplicative
of
information
submitted
under
the
reformulated
gasoline
(
RFG)
regulations
at
40
CFR
80,
Subpart
D?
(
2)
Does
the
fuel
manufacturer
quarterly
report
have
practical
utility
and
does
it
reduce
the
extent
practical
and
appropriate
the
respondent's
burden?

For
the
gasoline
annual
report,
eleven
fuel
properties
are
listed.
Only
four
are
covered
by
the
RFG
reporting
requirements.
The
instructions
have
been
modified
to
indicate
that
properties
reported
under
the
RFG
program
need
not
be
reported
here.
As
has
always
been
the
case
for
all
the
properties,
they
are
only
required
to
be
reported
to
the
extent
they
are
known
by
the
manufacturer
for
other
reasons.
If
the
properties
are
not
known,
they
are
not
required
to
be
reported.
However,
the
values
are
helpful
to
the
EPA
in
monitoring
gasoline
trends.
For
example,
one
of
the
properties
not
covered
by
the
RFG
program
is
"
trace
elements."
Some
trace
elements,
upon
combustion,
could
produce
harmful
emissions.
Others
can
impair
the
performance
of
the
catalytic
converter,
the
primary
emission
control
device
on
gasoline­
fueled
vehicles
and
soon
to
be
on
many
new
diesel
vehicles.
The
other
major
aspect
of
the
annual
report
is
the
submission
of
any
health­
effects
data
that
the
manufacturer
may
have
acquired
during
the
year.
If
none
have
been
acquired,
the
manufacturer
merely
indicates
"
no"
on
the
form.
If
there
is
new
health­
effects
information,
the
EPA
would
like
to
review
it.
Thus,
EPA
continues
to
believe
that
the
report
has
merit
and
that
the
burden
is
reasonable.

The
fuel
manufacturer
quarterly
report
has
great
practical
utility.
In
fact,
it
is
a
highly
11
practical
way
for
EPA
to
track
seasonal
additive
usage
and
ranges
of
additive
concentration.
Otherwise,
EPA
would
have
to
audit
records
at
facilities.
The
information
is
readily
available
to
the
manufacturer
because
it
is
critical
in
the
highly­
competitive
gasoline
market
and
thus
tracked
in
the
normal
course
of
business.
Thus,
it
is
a
small
reporting
burden,
reduced
to
the
extent
practical
and
appropriate.

There
are
no
recordkeeping
requirements.

5(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
The
manufacturers
are
completing
forms
which
are
very
straightforward
and
whose
basic
12
structure
dates
back
to
1975.
(
The
Supplemental
Notification
for
a
Fuel
or
Fuel
Additive
Manufacturer
originated
in
1994.)
We
have
not
had
complaints
on
the
design
of
the
forms.
Much
of
the
information
is
maintained
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
such
as
the
chemical
composition
of
an
additive
and
its
annual
production.
For
information
which
may
not
normally
be
maintained,
such
as
mechanisms
of
reaction,
the
manufacturer
is
not
required
to
search
beyond
its
company
files.
EPA
and
its
contractor
review
the
forms
and
in
some
cases
the
manufacturer
must
be
contacted
for
clarification
or
additional
information.
Since
most
of
the
information
is
confidential,
the
data
are
handled
exclusively
on
a
physically
and
electronically
isolated
IBM/
PCbased
local
area
network
using
Novell
NetWare
as
an
operating
system
and
running
FOXPRO
database
software
as
the
database
platform.
Data
are
input
and
reports
generated
on
workstations
located
entirely
within
the
locked
facility
and
connected
to
the
network
through
direct
connections.
EPA
personnel
routinely
compare
the
data
that
have
been
entered
into
the
database
with
hard
copy.
The
network
is
not
connected
to
the
Agency's
LAN
backbone
and
has
no
modem
connections.
The
facility
is
protected
by
an
advanced
security
system
described
earlier.
Several
of
the
forms
have
been
converted
to
a
machine­
readable
format,
and
ultimately
all
will
be.
Additive
manufacturers
have
been
offered
the
option
to
submit
their
annual
reports
on
diskette.
It
is
anticipated
that
ultimately
all
data
may
be
submitted
via
diskette
or
electronic
data
interchange.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
The
reporting
requirements
have
been
kept
as
simple
as
possible
to
minimize
the
burden
on
all
manufacturers.
EPA
is
not
aware
of
any
simpler
format
to
provide
the
chemical
descriptions
and
related
information.
Recent
changes
to
the
regulations
removed
many
small
businesses
from
the
program,
by
excluding
those
who
only
add
oxygenates
or
small
amounts
of
additives
to
fuels
from
the
definition
of
a
fuel
manufacturer.
For
manufacturers
who
merely
relabel
additives,
which
are
usually
small
businesses,
the
one­
time
notification
is
very
simple,
and
there
are
no
periodic
reporting
requirements.

ESTIMATING
THE
BURDEN
AND
THE
COST
OF
THE
COLLECTION
6(
a)
and
(
b)
Estimating
Respondent
Burden
and
Costs
Estimating
the
burden
is
straightforward.
For
the
most
part,
the
manufacturer
is
collecting
and
reporting
information
that
is
available
in
the
normal
conduct
of
business,
such
as
product
composition
and
production
volume.
Other
information,
such
as
health
effects
data,
only
have
to
be
reported
if
they
reside
in
the
company
files.
No
searching
beyond
company
files
is
required.
There
are
no
recordkeeping
requirements.
There
are
no
third
party
activities.
Thus,
there
are
no
capital/
start­
up
costs.
The
only
operating
and
maintenance
(
O&
M)
cost
is
for
copying
and
postage
for
each
submission.
Instead
of
including
this
in
each
burden
table,
a
cost
of
$
3.00
per
submission
will
be
included
in
the
total
burden
estimate.

In
discussions
with
fewer
than
ten
fuel
and
fuel
additive
manufacturers,
four
labor
categories
were
identified
as
having
involvement:
managerial,
legal,
technical,
and
clerical.
According
to
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
Employment
Cost
Trends
(
March
1996),
for
all
13
workers
in
manufacturing
industries,
wages
and
benefits
were:

Wages
and
Benefits
Managerial
$
37.72
per
hour
Professional
$
36.89
per
hour
Technical
$
27.90
per
hour
Clerical
$
16.69
per
hour
Assuming
that
professional
and
legal
rates
are
comparable,
doubling
for
company
overhead
beyond
wages
and
benefits,
employing
a
3%
annual
inflation
factor
to
bring
the
rates
to
the
year
2000,
and,
for
convenience,
rounding
up
to
the
nearest
dollar,
gives
the
follow
rates
that
will
be
used
in
this
ICR:

Total
Employer
Cost
Managerial
$
86
per
hour
Legal
$
84
per
hour
Technical
$
64
per

Clerical
$
38
per

Worksheet
1:
Fuel
Manufacturer
Notification
As
summarized
in
section
3(
c),
informal
discussions
with
fuel
manufacturers
indicated
a
range
of
three
to
eight
hours,
with
quite
a
variation
in
estimates
of
labor
mix.
EPA
has
used
three
hours
as
an
estimate
for
many
years.
However,
based
on
these
recent
discussions,
the
estimate
has
been
revised
to
four
hours,
with
the
additional
hour
allocated
to
gathering
information
and
the
balance
of
the
labor
mix
the
same
as
in
the
previous
ICR.
The
average
estimated

Worksheet
3:
Fuel
Additive
Manufacturer
Notification
As
summarized
in
section
3(
c),
informal
discussions
with
fuel
additive
manufacturers
indicate
a
wide
range
of
burden
estimates,
from
two
hours
to
ten
hours
per
form,
with
two
estimates
at
four
hours.
This
is
to
be
expected
since
some
additives
are
very
simple
chemically,
and
some
are
extremely
complex.
For
many
years
EPA
has
estimated
the
average
burden
at
three
hours
per
form,
but
believes
that
it
is
now
appropriate
to
revise
the
estimate
to
four
hours.
As
with
the
fuel
manufacturer
notification,
the
additional
hour
is
allocated
to
gathering
information.
Thus,
EPA
has
chosen
the
same
labor
mix
as
in
Worksheet
1.
Since
the
hours
and
activities
are
identical,
Worksheet
1
is
referenced
and
the
cost
burden
per
additive
notification
is
the
same,
$
250.80.

Worksheet
4:
Additive
Notification
Update
As
mentioned
previously,
EPA
also
receives
additive
notification
updates
routinely.
These
are
usually
short
letters
and
EPA
estimates
an
average
of
one
hour
labor,
with
a
labor
mix
the
same
as
for
the
fuel
notification
update
in
Worksheet
2.
Since
the
burden
of
one
hour
and
labor
mix
are
the
same,
Worksheet
2
is
referenced
and
the
cost
burden
per
update
is
$
53.60.

Worksheet
5:
Supplemental
Notification
for
a
Fuel
or
Fuel
Additive
Manufacturer
The
informal
discussions
in
section
3(
c)
gave
a
range
of
one
to
eight
hours,
with
most
responses
in
the
two
to
five­
hour
range.
EPA
has
chosen
four
hours
as
an
average,
an
increase
in
one
hour
compared
to
the
previous
ICR,
with
the
same
labor
mix
and
activities
as
for
the
previous
notifications.
Thus,
Worksheet
1
is
once
again
referenced
and
the
estimated
cost
per
supplemental
notification
is
$
250.80.

Worksheet
6:
Additive
Manufacturer
Annual
Report
15
The
informal
discussions
in
section
3(
c)
gave
a
wide
range
of
burden,
but
generally
less
than
an
hour
per
additive.
For
manufacturers
with
numerous
additives,
the
average
was
considerably
less
than
an
hour
per
additive.
For
manufacturers
with
only
one
or
two
additives,
it
is
understandable
that
it
could
take
several
hours
or
more
to
complete.
In
the
past
EPA
has
used
an
estimate
of
one
hour,
and
believes
it
is
still
an
appropriate
average
over
the
660
manufacturers.
The
estimated
labor
mix,
from
the
previous
ICR,
and
costs
are

7:
Fuel
Manufacturer
Quarterly
Report
The
informal
discussions
in
section
3(
c)
gave
a
range
from
around
one­
half
to
twentyeight
hours
per
fuel.
The
fuel
production
and
additive
usage
data
required
for
the
report
are
routinely
monitored
and
collected
in
the
normal
course
of
business
for
reasons
other
than
these
requirements.
Indeed,
economic
viability
depends
on
close
monitoring
of
these
data.
For
small
manufacturers
with
only
one
or
two
production
sites
and
little
variation
in
additive
usage,
we
believe
that
a
half­
hour
is
a
reasonable
estimate.
Certainly
large
manufacturers
with
broad
additive
slates
will
spend
somewhat
more
time.
EPA
believes
that
the
estimate
in
the
previous
ICR
of
three
hours
is
still
an
appropriate
average
across
all
manufacturers..
Assuming
the
same
relative
labor
mix
as
for
the
additive
annual
report
gives
a
cost
burden
of
$
173.40
per
report.

Worksheet
8:
Fuel
Manufacturer
Annual
Report
The
informal
estimates
in
section
3(
c)
range
from
around
one­
half
to
twenty­
eight
hours
per
fuel.
As
with
the
quarterly
report,
the
burden
varies
with
the
size
and
complexity
of
the
manufacturer.
The
data,
general
fuel
properties
and
any
new
health­
effects
data,
are
readily
known
to
the
manufacturer.
EPA
believes
that
the
estimate
in
the
previous
ICR
of
three
hours
is
still
appropriate.
Assuming
the
same
relative
labor
mix
as
for
the
additive
annual
report
gives
a
cost
burden
of
$
173.40
per

6(
f)
Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
net
burden
has
been
reduced
primarily
due
to
the
decrease
in
periodic
reporting
burden
due
to
a
modest
decrease
in
the
number
of
fuels
(
from
800
to
600)
and
additives
(
from
6300
to
5600)
registered.
This
has
been
balanced
to
some
extent
by
an
increase
in
the
number
fuel
and
additive
updates.
As
noted
earlier,
the
burdens
for
the
additive
notification,
fuel
notification,
and
supplemental
notification
were
increased
from
three
to
four
hours
per

as
a
result
of
our

Burden
Statements
For
the
two
notification
forms
and
the
supplemental
notification,
the
statement
is
proposed
to
read
as
follows:

The
public
reporting
burden
for
this
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
2
hours
per
response.
This
includes
time
for
reviewing
instructions
and
regulations,
searching
company
records,
gathering
the
needed
data,
and
completing,
reviewing,
copying,
and
transmitting
the
collection
of
information.

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;
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.
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
