accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology
and assumptions used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate.
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.

ICR #1: ``Emissions Certification and Compliance Requirements for
Nonroad Compression-ignition Engines and On-highway Heavy Duty Engines
(Revision to an existing package),'' (EPA ICR No. 1684.20, OMB Control
No. 2060-0287)

Docket ID Number: EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-1182

Abstract: For this ICR, EPA is seeking a revision to an existing
package with a three-year extension. The previous ICR 1684.18 covers
certification and compliance requirements for the following industries:
Nonroad (NR) compression-ignition (CI) engines and equipment, marine CI
engines in Categories 1 and 2; and heavy-duty (HD) engines. In this
revision, we are incorporating the following ICRs into ICR 1684.20,
either in whole or in part as shown in Table 1, to eliminate redundancy
and avoid duplication.

on April 30, 2018 (in process).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With this consolidation, we are combining all certification and
compliance burden associated with the heavy-duty and nonroad
compression-ignition engine, equipment and vehicle industries under a
single ICR. Under the locomotive and marine CI Category 3 ICRs,
manufacturers submit certification applications and compliance data in
the same manner (and responding to very similar requirements) as
described in ICR 1684. In fact, ICR 1684 already covers Marine CI
Categories 1 and 2 engines. ICR 2394.03 covers the incremental burden
associated with adding greenhouse gas and fuel economy data to a
previously existing certification application process covered under ICR
1684. The Defects and Recalls ICR covers the defect reporting and
voluntary recalls for HD, CI and spark-ignition engines; a process that
stems from the certification requirements covered in ICR 1684. Many
companies respond to two or more of these collections.
Title II of the Clean Air Act, (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.; CAA),
charges the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with issuing
certificates of conformity for those engines and vehicles that comply
with applicable emission requirements. Such a certificate must be
issued before those products may be legally introduced into commerce.
To apply for a certificate of conformity, manufacturers are required to
submit descriptions of their planned production, detailed descriptions
of emission control systems and test data. This information is
organized by ``families,'' groups of engines/vehicles expected to have
similar emission characteristics.
The emission values achieved during certification testing may also
be used in the Averaging, Banking, and Trading (ABT) Program. The
program allows engine manufacturers to bank credits for engine families
that emit below the standard and use the credits to certify engine
families that emit above the standard. They may also trade banked
credits with other manufacturers. Participation in the ABT program is
voluntary.
The CAA also mandates EPA to verify that manufacturers have
successfully translated their certified prototypes into mass produced
engines; and that these engines comply with emission standards
throughout their useful lives. EPA verifies this through `Compliance
Programs' which include Production Line Testing (PLT), In-use Testing
and Selective Enforcement Audits, (SEAs). Not all programs apply to all
industries included in this ICR. PLT, which only applies to marine
engines, is a self-audit program that allows engine manufacturers to
monitor their products' emissions profile with statistical certainty
and minimize the cost of correcting errors through early detection. In-
use testing allows manufacturers and EPA to verify compliance with
emission standards throughout an engine family's useful life. Through
SEAs, EPA verifies that test data submitted by engine manufacturers is
reliable and testing is performed according to EPA regulations.
Under the Transition Program for Equipment Manufacturers (TPEM),
NRCI equipment manufacturers may delay compliance with Tier 4 standards
for up to seven years as long as they comply with certain limitations.
The program seeks to ease the impact of new emission standards on
equipment manufacturers as they often need to redesign their products
to accommodate changes in engine design. Participation in the program
is voluntary.
There are varying recordkeeping and labeling requirements under all
programs.
The information requested is collected by the Compliance Division
(CD), Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and
Radiation, EPA. CD uses this information to issue certificates of
conformity and ensure that manufacturers comply with applicable
regulations and the CAA. Some HD data is also used by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to implement their
programs under 49 U.S.C. 32902. EPA's and NHTSA's Office of Enforcement
and Compliance Assurance and the Department of Justice may use the
information for enforcement purposes. Most of the information is
collected in electronic format and stored in CD's databases.
Manufacturers may assert a claim of confidentiality over
information provided to EPA. Confidentiality is granted in accordance
with the Freedom of Information Act and EPA regulations at 40 CFR part
2. Non-confidential information may be disclosed on OTAQ's website or
upon request under the Freedom of Information Act to trade
associations, environmental groups, and the public.

Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are manufacturers of engines, equipment and vehicles in the
nonroad compression ignition (CI), marine CI, locomotives and medium-
and heavy-duty on-highway industries. There are some requirements for
marine CI vessel owners and operators and owners of HD truck fleets.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Regulated manufacturers must
respond to this collection if they wish to sell their products in the
U.S., as prescribed by Section 206(a) of the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521).
Participation in some programs such as ABT and TPEM is voluntary, but
once a manufacturer has elected to participate, it must submit the
required information.
Estimated number of respondents: 2,823 (total).
Frequency of response: Quarterly, Annually, On Occasion, depending
on the type of response.
Total estimated burden: 167,333 hours per year. Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $31,192,402 (per year), includes an estimated
$18,976,585 annualized capital or maintenance and operational costs.
Changes in the Estimates: Despite the consolidation of 4 other ICRs
into this collection, there is a preliminary decrease of 33,701 hours
in the total estimated burden for ICR 1684.20 from the burden currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease
is mainly due to (1) the end of most of TPEM and a sharp decrease in
participants in the last years of the program; (2) a net decrease in
the number of engine families in some industries/programs; and (3)
respondents' heavy reliance on carry-over testing data. These estimates
are subject to change as EPA evaluates additional information. The ICRs
incorporated into this ICR will be discontinued or reduced after ICR
1684.20 is approved, significantly reducing the overall burden for
these industries in OMB's Inventory of Approved Collections.

ICR #2: ``Emissions Certification and Compliance Requirements for
Locomotives and Locomotive Engines (Renewal),'' (EPA ICR No. 1800.08,
OMB Control No. 2060-0392)

Docket ID Number: EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-1184

Abstract: For this ICR, EPA is seeking a revision to an existing
package with a three-year extension or until ICR 1684.20 is approved,
whichever comes first. Since this ICR's burden is being consolidated
into ICR 1684.20 (see previous ICR in this notice), this collection
will be discontinued upon ICR 1684.20's approval to avoid duplicity.
Title II of the Clean Air Act, (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.; CAA),
charges the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with issuing
certificates of conformity for those engines that comply with
applicable emission standards. Such a certificate must be issued before
engines may be legally introduced into commerce. Under this ICR, EPA
collects information necessary to issue certificates of compliance with
emission standards and verify compliance with various programs and
regulatory provisions pertaining to locomotives, locomotive engines,
and locomotive remanufacturing kits (collectively referred to here as
``engines'' for simplicity). To apply for a certificate of conformity,
manufacturers are required to submit descriptions of their planned
production engines, including detailed descriptions of emission control
systems and test data. This information is organized by ``engine
family'' groups expected to have similar emission characteristics.
Those manufacturers electing to participate in the Averaging, Banking
and Trading (AB&T) Program are also required to submit information
regarding the calculation, actual generation and usage of credits.
The Act also mandates EPA to verify that manufacturers have
successfully translated their certified prototypes into mass produced
engines, and that these engines comply with emission standards
throughout their useful lives. Under the Production Line Testing
Program (``PLT Program''), manufacturers are required to test a sample
of engines as they leave the assembly line. This self-audit program
allows manufacturers to monitor compliance with statistical certainty
and minimize the cost of correcting errors through early detection. A
similar audit program exists for the installation of locomotive
remanufacturing kits. In-use testing allows manufacturers and EPA to
verify compliance with emission standards throughout the locomotive's
useful life. Through Selected Enforcement Audits, (SEAs), EPA verifies
that test data submitted by engine manufacturers is reliable and
testing is performed according to EPA regulations.
There are varying recordkeeping and labeling requirements under all
programs.
The information requested is collected by the Compliance Division
(CD), Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and
Radiation; and processed by the Diesel Engine Compliance Center (DECC).
DECC uses this information to issue certificates of conformity and
ensure compliance with applicable regulations and the CAA. The
information may also be used by EPA's Office of Enforcement and
Compliance Assurance and the Department of Justice for enforcement
purposes. Most of the information is collected in electronic format and
stored in CD's databases.
Manufacturers may assert a claim of confidentiality over
information provided to EPA. Confidentiality is granted in accordance
with the Freedom of Information Act and EPA regulations at 40 CFR part
2. Non-confidential information may be disclosed on OTAQ's website or
upon request under the Freedom of Information Act to trade
associations, environmental groups, and the public.
Form Numbers: 5900-274 (ABT Report); 5900-135 (PLT Report), 5900-
273 (Installation Audit Report), 5900-90 (Annual Production Report);
and 5900-93 (In-use Testing Report).
Respondents/affected entities: Respondents are manufacturers of

[[Page 24995]]

locomotives, locomotive engines and locomotive remanufacturing kits.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Regulated manufacturers must
respond to this collection if they wish to sell their products in the
U.S., as prescribed by Section 206(a) of the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521).
Participation in ABT is voluntary, but once a manufacturer has elected
to participate, it must submit the required information.
Estimated number of respondents: 16 (total).
Frequency of response: Quarterly, Annually, On Occasion, depending
on the program.
Total estimated burden: 21,544 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $2,862,117 (per year), includes $1,303,236
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: To date, there are no changes in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. However, EPA is evaluating information that may lead
to a change in the estimates.
