ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 9
[FRL-5967-5]
OMB Approval Numbers Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), this
technical amendment amends the table that lists the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control numbers issued under the PRA for
Regulation of Fuel and Fuel Additives, Standards for Reformulated and
Conventional Gasoline.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is effective March 19, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Smith 202-564-9674.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is today amending the table of currently
approved information collection request (ICR) control numbers issued by
OMB for various regulations. Today's amendment updates the table to
list those information requirements promulgated under the Fuels and
Fuel Additives, Standards for Reformulated and Conventional Gasoline
which appeared in the Federal Register on February 16, 1994 (59 FR
7716-7878). This amendment incorporates Regulation of Fuel and Fuel
Additives: Baseline Requirements for Gasoline Produced by Foreign
Refiners (62 FR 45533, August 28, 1997). The affected regulations are
codified at 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 80 and part 9.
EPA will continue to present OMB control numbers in a consolidated
table format to be codified in 40 CFR part 9 of the Agency's
regulations, and in each CFR volume containing EPA regulations. The
table lists the section numbers with reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, and the current OMB control numbers. This listing of the
OMB control numbers and their subsequent codification in the CFR
satisfy the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.) and OMB's implementing regulations at 5 CFR part 1320.
These ICRs were previously subject to public notice and comment
prior to OMB approval. As a result, EPA finds that there is ``good
cause'' under section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B)) to amend this table without prior notice and comment.
Due to the technical nature of the table, further notice and comment
would be unnecessary.
