    Title: Control of Evaporative Emissions From New and In-Use 
Portable Gasoline Containers (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2213.03, OMB Control No. 2060-0597.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2010. 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 and 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: EPA is required under section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act 
to regulate Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from the use of 
consumer and commercial products. Under regulations promulgated on 
February 26, 2007 (72 FR 8428) manufacturers of new portable fuel 
containers are required to obtain certificates of conformity with the 
Clean Air Act, effective January 1, 2009. This ICR covers the burdens 
associated with this certification process. EPA reviews information 
submitted in the application for certification to determine if the 
container design conforms to applicable requirements and to verify that 
the required testing has been performed. The certificate holder is 
required to keep records on the testing, and to report successful 
warranty claims annually. The respondent must also retain records on 
the units produced, apply serial numbers to individual containers, and 
track the serial numbers to their certificates of conformity. Any 
information submitted for which a claim of confidentiality is made is 
safeguarded according to EPA regulations at 40 CFR 2.201 et seq.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 18 
hours 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: Importers (including Independent 
Commercial Importers) of light duty vehicles or engines, light duty 
trucks or engines, and highway motorcycles or engines.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.
    Frequency of Response: Annual and on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 213.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $20,439, including $10,519 annualized 
capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The request lowers the hour burden by 
425, from 638 to 213 and increases the O&M and capital cost request 
from $519 to $10,519. These changes largely result from reallocation of 
contracted testing costs from labor to O&M and adjustment of the 
reporting burden to reflect that the normal certificate term is five 
years rather than one, as assumed in the prior request.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
