ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 9
[FRL-5194-9]
OMB Approval Number Under the Paperwork Reduction Act; Regulation
of Fuels and Fuel Additives
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment; and confirmation of effective
date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, this document
announces that the Information Collection Requirements (ICR) contained
in the Regulations of Fuels and Fuel Additives; Fuel Quality
Regulations for Highway Diesel Fuel Sold in 1993 and Later Calendar
Years Interim Final Rule, as published in the Federal Register on July
14, 1994, have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) and the affected subsection of the regulation is effective April
25, 1995. This document also displays the OMB control number issued
under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) in the OMB approval table.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 40 CFR 80.29(e), which contains ICRs, and the amendment
to 40 CFR part 9 are effective April 25, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul N. Argyropoulos, Field Operations
and Support Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M
Street SW., Washington, DC 20460, phone: (202) 233-9004.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is today amending the table of currently
approved information collection request (ICR) control numbers issued by
OMB for various regulations. Today's amendment updates the table to
accurately display those information requirements promulgated under the
Regulations of Fuels and Fuel Additives, Fuel Quality Regulations for
Highway Diesel Fuel Sold in 1993 and Later Calendar Years which
appeared in the Federal Register on July 14, 1994 (59 FR 35854). The
affected regulations are codified at 40 CFR 80.29(c). This display of
the OMB control number and its subsequent codification in the Code of
Federal Regulations satisfies the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and OMB's implementing
regulations at 5 CFR 1320.
The information collection requirement was previously subject to
public notice and comment prior to OMB approval. As a result, EPA finds
that there is ``good cause'' under the Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)) to amend this regulation
without prior notice and comment. Also due to the technical nature of
this revision, the Agency believes further notice and comment is
unnecessary.
