    Abstract: Under the provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the 
Administrator is required to promulgate regulations to control air 
pollutant emissions from motor vehicles and nonroad engines, as defined 
in the CAA. Per Sections 207(c)(1) and 213 of the CAA, when a 
substantial number of properly maintained and used engines produced by 
a manufacturer do not conform to emission standards, the manufacturer 
is required to recall the engines. Engine manufacturers are required to 
submit Defect Information Reports (DIRs) if emission-related defects 
are found on engines of the same model year that may cause the engines' 
emissions to exceed the standards. EPA uses these reports to target 
potentially nonconforming classes of engines for future testing, to 
monitor compliance with applicable regulations and to order a recall, 
if necessary. Manufacturers can also initiate a recall voluntarily by 
submitting a Voluntary Emission Recall Report (VERR). VERRs and VERR 
updates allow EPA to determine whether the manufacturer conducting the 
recall is acting in accordance with the CAA and to examine and monitor 
the effectiveness of the recall campaign.
    Forms: The forms associated with this ICR are form 5900-300 
(Voluntary Emissions Recall Report); form 5900-301 (Emissions Defect 
Information Report); and form 5900-302 (Voluntary Emission Recall 
Quarterly Progress Report).
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers of heavy-duty highway 
and nonroad engines.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory under the Clean Air 
Act and 40 CFR parts 85, 89, 90, 91, 92, 94, 1035, 1039, 1042, 1045, 
1048, 1051, 1054, 1068.
    Estimated number of respondents: 29 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion, bi-annual or quarterly.
    Total estimated burden: 9,827 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $936,157 (per year), includes $5,475 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is decrease of 5,258 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to: (1) A correction on previous 
estimates, and (2) a significant decrease in the estimated number of 
respondents.
