Abstract:
In accordance with the regulations at 40 CFR 79, manufacturers of motor-vehoicle gasoline, motor-vehicle diesel fuel, and additives to those fuels are required to have these products registered by EPA. Registration involves providing a chemical description of the fuel or additive and certain technical, marketing, and health-efects information. Manufacturers are also required to submit periodic reports on production volume and related information. The information is used to identify products whose evaporative or combustion emissons may pose an unreasonable risk to public health, thus meriting further investigation and potential regulation.

Short Statement:
Although there has been a decrease in the rate of requests for new registrations, the total number of registered fuels and additives continues to increase, resulting in an increase in the number of required periodic reports. This has resulted in a small increase in the cost and hour burdens. There is an increase of 400 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to an increase in the number of registered fuels and fuel additives for which peroidic reports are required. The number of respondents stayed the same with an estimate of 2,975 respondents. The number of responses increased by 875 to a total of 9,850 responses. The number of hours increased by 400 to a total of 21,000. The O&M Costs increased by $4,375 to a total of $49,250.
