This Information Collection Request
(ICR) would provide for the application by a small refiner for an
adjustment by EPA in its per-gallon cap sulfur standard. This type
of adjustment addresses unintended problems that the gasoline
sulfur program can cause for small refiners in certain
circumstances. The information collected in such an application
will allow EPA to determine the appropriateness of such an
adjustment and the appropriate level for the adjusted standard, as
well as the re- quired number of sulfur credits that the refiner
will use to off- sett the adjustment.
