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 gasoline 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 a
manufacturers application for certification to determine if the
gasoline container design conforms to applicable regulatory
requirements and to verify that the required testing has been
performed. The certificate holder is required to keep records on
the testing and collect and keep warranty and defect information
for annual reporting on in-use performance of their products. 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.
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
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
