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.
