This proposed regulation would either change the existing, approved E15 label (approved under OMB Control Number 2060-0675)âor remove it entirely. Should the E15 label be modified, then there would be a cost associated with affixing the amended label to pumps from which fuel is dispensed. We have also allowed that some parties may need to purchase labels. Parties required to affix labels are typically parties who own or operate retail stations or wholesale-purchases consumer facilities. Should the E15 labeling requirement be removed entirely, then there would no longer be any E15 label required and we would anticipate a cost savings to industry.
This proposed regulation would also require owners and operators of underground storage tanks (UST) to maintain records of compatibility at new UST installations and replacements storing motor fuels used in over the road transportation. This new requirement is only intended for UST systems storing motor fuel used in over-the-road transportation, not for UST systems fueling emergency power generators nor other UST systems used for off-road purposes such as construction equipment. In the existing regulation, owners and operators of USTs storing product containing more than 10 percent ethanol or more than 20 percent biodiesel are required to maintain records to demonstrate compatibility with the product stored. This action proposes to grant certain allowances for this current UST system compatibility demonstration requirement, which reduces information collection burden for some UST systems. The existing requirements for owners and operators of USTs are under OMB Control Number 2050-0068.
