The proposed rulemaking would replace
all of 40 CFR Part 80, with the exception of the Renewable Fuel
Standard (RFS), with a new 40 CFR Part 1090. The effect of this is
to replace a patchwork of older fuels regulations with newer,
updated, and simpler ones that better reflect the current fuels
industry and products. This will create an opportunity for the
following improvements and areas for cost-savings for industry by:
-- Promoting the fungibility of fuels, which will reduce
distribution and storage costs; -- Reducing the regulated number of
fuels characteristics to be tested and reported from 13 to four,
which reduces reporting burdens; -- Leveraging the Part 80
registration system so that parties who are already registered will
remain registered under the new Part 1090; -- Reducing the required
frequency of batch reporting; -- Providing better formats and
procedures for reporting and reducing the actual number of forms;
and -- Consolidating existing survey programs. (Note: The term
"survey" as used here is not in the same context as used in Line 11
of this form.)
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
