Gasoline combustion is the major
source of air pollution in most urban areas. In the 1990 Amendments
to the Clean Air Act (Act), section 211(k), Congress required that
gasoline dispensed in nine areas with severe air quality problems,
and areas that opt-in, be reformulated to reduce toxic and
ozone-forming emissions. (Ozone is also known as smog.) Congress
also required that, in the process of producing reformulated
gasoline (RFG), dirty components removed in the reformulation
process not be "dumped" into the remainder of the country's
gasoline, known as conventional gasoline (CG). The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated regulations at 40 CFR 80,
Subpart D - Reformulated Gasoline, Subpart E - Anti-Dumping, and
Subpart F - Attest Engagements, implementing the statutory
requirements, which include standards for RFG (80.41) and CG
(80.101). The regulations also contain reporting and recordkeeping
requirements for the production, importation, transport and storage
of gasoline, in order to demonstrate compliance and facilitate
compliance and enforcement. The program is run by the
Transportation and Regional Programs Division, Office of
Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation.
Enforcement is done by the Air Enforcement Division, Office of
Regulatory Enforcement, Office of Enforcement and Compliance
Assurance. This program excludes California, which has separate
requirements for gasoline.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
