Abstract:
This request for a non-substantive revision is related to sampling, testing, and record retention requirements related to fuels testing. The specific regulatory requirements are under subpart M of 40 CFR part 1090 for performance-based measurement systems (PBMS). The PBMS laboratory recordkeeping and reporting is included in the Detailed Burden Estimates, Appendix A, Tab 1 Fuel Manufacturers (lines 20-21). We had described the informational items clearly in the regulation and had described and estimated the burden associated with these items as CBP, in accordance with industry practice and regulatory requirements. However, after issuing the final rule, and after holding implementation workshops with industry post-final rule, we developed templates that contain all the requirements that laboratories can use. There is no burden change associated with these job aids, which should make recordkeeping and reporting easier for industry. Because they are written as spreadsheet templates, we wish to submit them to OMB as forms to display an OMB control number and expiration date.
