Abstract:
Under regulations promulgated on February 26, 2007 (72 FR 8428; 40 CFR Part 59, Subpart F), manufacturers of new portable gasoline containers from 0.25 to 10.0 gallons in capacity are required to obtain certificates of conformity with the Clean Air Act. The rule applies to containers manufactured on or after January 1, 2009 (manufacturers and importers were given until June 30, 2009 and wholesale distributors until December 31, 2009 to dispose of stocks manufactured before January 1, 2009). Certificates are valid from the effective date until the end of the production period, to a maximum of five years. This ICR covers the burdens associated with the applications for certification and the required annual reports of successful warranty claims, based on experience during the prior three years of the program. The applications are processed by the Compliance Division (CD), Office of Transportation and Air Quality, EPA. In essence, an application is in support of an emission limitation of 0.3 grams per gallon per day for the mandated five-year useful life of the container. Applicants submit test results conducted in accordance with the regulations, maintenance instructions and warranty information given to the purchasers, copies of the labels, and other information listed in section 4(b). Applications are submitted in no fixed format, although EPA did work with industry informally on application questions and provided non-confidential versions of acceptable received applications (“FOIA applications”) as examples to other potential applicants. Applications are submitted electronically as a part of the EPA’s Verify certification information system.

Short Statement:
The program is now mature and startup costs have largely already been incurred. No warranty violation reports have been received, so warranty report applications are expected to be less time consuming. The number of manufacturers is remains at eight and we do not anticipate an increase in new entrants. The increase in anticipated costs is due to the increase in applications from the addition of two emission families. We have adjusted the labor expected for respondents according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates for the 2015 model year and we are now using a labor cost modifier also offered by BLS. Finally, we have increased the anticipated cost of contracting a portable gasoline container emission test to reflect the current market rate.
