    Title: Reformulated Gasoline Commingling Provisions (Renewal).
    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.
