    Abstract: The currently approved ICR addresses 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, the 
following ICRs are being incorporated, either in whole or in part, to 
eliminate redundancy: Control of Emissions from New Marine Compression-
Ignition Engines at or Above 30 Liters per Cylinder (2060-0641); Engine 
Emission Defect Information Reports and Voluntary Emission Recall 
Reports (2060-0048); Emissions Certification and Compliance 
Requirements for Locomotives and Locomotive Engines (2060-0392); and 
Certification and Compliance Requirements for Medium- and Heavy-Duty 
Engines and Vehicles (2060-0678). 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.
    Title II of the Clean Air Act (CAA), charges 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, descriptions of 
emission control systems and test data. The emission values achieved 
during certification testing may also be used in the Averaging, 
Banking, and Trading (ABT) Program, which 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.
    The CAA also mandates EPA verify that manufacturers have 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, including Production 
Line Testing (PLT), In-use Testing and Selective Enforcement Audits 
(SEAs). PLT is a self-audit program that allows marine engine 
manufacturers to monitor their products' emissions profile with 
statistical certainty and minimize the cost of correcting errors 
through early detection. In-use testing verifies 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 if 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.
    Form Numbers: HD/NR Engine Manufacturer Annual Production Report 
(5900-90); AB&T Report for Nonroad Compression Ignition Engines (5900-
125); AB&T Report for Heavy-duty On-highway Engines (5900-134); AB&T 
Report for Locomotives (5900-274); AB&T Report for Marine Compression-
ignition Engines (5900-125); PLT Report for Marine CI CumSum (5900-
297); PLT Report for Marine CI Non-CumSum (5900-298); PLT Report for 
Locomotives (5900-135); PLT Report for Locomotives (5900-273); In-use 
Testing for Locomotives (5900-93); Replacement Engine Exemption Report 
(6900-5415); HD Defect Information Reports (590-301); HD Voluntary 
Emissions Recall Reports VERRs (590-300); HD VER Quarterly Reports 
(590-302); HD Alternative Fuel Conversions of Intermediate Age (5900-
338); HD Alternative Fuel Conversions Outside of Useful Life (5900-
259); TPEM Equipment Manufacturer Notification (5900-242); TPEM 
Equipment Manufacturer Report (5900-240); TPEM Engine Manufacturer 
Report (5900-241); TPEM Importers Notification (TBD); TPEM Importers 
Annual Report (TBD); TPEM Statement to Comply (5900-239); TPEM Hardship 
Relief Application Questionnaire (5900-465); TPEM Hardship Relief 
Prescreening Questionnaire (5900-465)

[[Page 42291]]

    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers of engines, equipment 
and vehicles in the nonroad compression ignition (CI), marine CI, 
locomotives and medium- and heavy-duty on-highway industries; 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 
US, 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: 468 (total).
    Frequency of response: Quarterly, Annually, On Occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 127,900 hours per year. Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $21,639,590 (per year), which includes an 
estimated $11,682,548 annualized capital or maintenance and operational 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a net decrease of 73,137 hours 
in the total estimated burden. This decrease is due to: (1) A decrease 
in TPEM respondents; (2) respondents' reliance on carry-over testing 
data; and 3) eliminating duplication.
