Terms of Clearance:
This collection is approved until April 2004. OMB notes that EPA should review the paper and internet versions of its forms to ensure that the expiration dates are correct and update Form 3520-20C to include non-certified FRGAS. As a term of this approval, OMB recommends that EPA continue to monitor the burden and practical utility of this collection. In particular, OMB is concerned that collection of the T50 and T90 parameters on the RFG and CG batch reports may lack practical utility. In its renewal of this collection, EPA should carefully examine the practical utility of collecting these parameters. If EPA proposes to continue collecting these parameters, the renewal ICR should provide documentation explaining how these parameters have been used during the present approval period. More generally, OMB notes that EPA standards for low-sulfur gasoline will take effect in 2004. OMB recommends that EPA evaluate the practical utility of this collection (and the RFG program) in light of the significant air quality benefits of the Tier 2 low sulfur gasoline program and other existing or planned fuel regulations. Finally, OMB notes that EPA has recently issued a proposed rule that would revise this collection to enhance refiner flexibility. EPA should submit a separate ICR to OMB containing these revisions.

Gasoline combustion is the major source of air pollution in most urban areas. The Clean Air Act (Act) requires that gasoline dispensed in certain areas with severe air quality problems be reformulated to reduce toxic and ozone-forming (smog) emissions The Act also requires that in the process of producing reformu- lated gasoline (RFG), dirty components removed in the reformula- tion process not be "dumped" into the remainder of the country's gasoline, known as conventional gasoline Regulations at 40 CFR 80 established standards for RFG and CG and establishes and recordkeeping requirements for demonstrating compliance ...
