1. Identification of the In formation Collection 1(a) Title And Number Of T he Information Collect ion Emissions Certification and Compliance Requirements for Nonroad Compression
ignition and On
- highway Heav y Dut y Engines ( Final Rule for Clean Alternative Fuel Conversions of Heavy - Duty Engines) ; EPA ICR number 1684.17 , OMB Control Number 2060
- 0287. 1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract The Environmental Protection Agency is finalizing changes designed to simplify and lessen the burdens for manufacturers seeking approval to in troduce into commerce in the U.S. light
- dut y vehicles , light
- dut y trucks , medium
- duty passenger vehicles, and heavy
dutyvehicles and engines that have been converted for use of fuels that the original models were not designed for, such as from gasoline to liquid propane gas (LPG) or compressed natural gas (CNG)
. This ICR covers the heavy
- dutyportion of the final rule
. The proposed rule was submitted under EPA ICR Number 1684.15. These changes would start taking effect with the 20 1 1 conversion model y ea r or upon the effective date of the final rule
. Starting then , manufacturers will be given ex panded options for submitting simplified applications. IC Rs normally have a three y ear time horizon. T his I CR w ill cover the expected paperwork burden changes for the three years after the effective date of the final rule
. Under previous iterations of this ICR, EPA analy zed the cost of obtaining a certificate of conformity under current regulations and used that as a baseline cost. This Supporting Statement addr esses onlythe anticipated paperwork burden of the Clean Alternative Fuel Vehicle and Engine Conversions final rule in relation to the existing baseline. Also, it should be noted that this Supporting Statement amends the Supporting Statement submitted in M ay2010 (under EPA ICR Number 1684.15) by replacing the OBD requirement for intermediate
- age and out side
- useful life conversions with the procedure alreadyestablished in 40 CFR 85.2222. It is important to note that HD conversions have not received as m uch interest as LD conversions. As a result, EPA’s experience with and data available on HD conversions is limited. For example, in model y ear (MY) 2008, EPA onlyreceived seven certification applications from four different converters. In 2009, the num ber drop to three applications from three different manufacturers. Despite limited historical data on HD conversions, EPA has evaluated the cost a converter would incur to fullycertifya HD engine that has been converted at each of the three engine age ca tegories offered in this rulemaking : (1) beginning of useful life, (2) mid
- useful life, and (3) outside the useful life. Th ese costs are then compared to the baseline
-- the current cost of certification.3

It has been estimated that a total of 8 manufa cturers will respond to this collection (proposed rule onl y) with an approximate cost of $75 7 , 468

. Section 2: Need Fo r A nd Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/Authority For T he Collection Unde r Title II of the Clean Air Act ( CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.) , EPA is charged with issuing certificates of conformityfor motor vehicle designs that complywith applicable emission standards set under section 202(a)(1) of the Act
. A manufacturer must have a certificate before vehicles maybe legally introduced into commerce. To i nsure compliance with the Act , EPA reviews product information and manufacturer test results; EPA also tests some vehicles to confirm manufacturer results. Section 203 of the CAA contains “anti
- tampering” provisions prohibiting alterati on of OEM vehicle components relevant to the vehicle’s certification under the Act. Regulations at 40 CFR, Part 85, Subpart F , provide exemption for aftermarket conversion sy stems from these tampering prohibitions for those converters complying with the r egulations of that Part. Under Subpart F, these exemptions were administered through a certification process that is modeled on the OEM certification provisions: converters submit certification requests for engine families, and those that satisfyEPA’s reg ulations upon review are granted certificates of conformityfor one model y ear. The modified program will recognize two other age
- based categories which permit an exemption from the prohibition on tampering that does not result in a certificate of conform ity
. 2(b) Practical Utility

/Users of the Data EPA uses information to verify that the proper engine prototy pes have been selected and that the necessary

testing has been performed to assure compliance with emission standards. EPA uses the information requested to support various enforcement actions as mandated by the CAA. This information collection enables EPA to ensure that engine manufacturers are comply ing with applicable emission regulations, measure the impact of engines ' emissions on air quali ty , and take corrective actions as needed. The information will be received and used b y HDNEG/C IS D/OTAQ/OAR. Non
confidential portions of the information submitted to HDNEG is available to and used by importers, environmental groups, members of the pub lic and local, state and federal government organizations.4

Section 3: Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria 3 (a) Nonduplication The information requested under this I CR is required by statute. Because of its specialized (and sometimes confidential) nature, and the fact that it must be submitted to EPA prior to the start of production, the information collected is not available from any other source. 3(b) Public Notice Prior to ICR Submission to OMB An announcement of the public comment period for this I CR renewal was published in the Federal Register on May 26, 2010 (75 FR2 9606) . This document may be accessed through the Federal Register's website at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html
. 3 (c) Consultations The burden estimates described in this ICR is based on the HD certification program burden already approved byOMB under ICR 1684 . EPA sought comment on these estimates through the FR notice mention ed in Section 3(b). The comments received dealt with the regulation itself and are discussed in the preamble of the final rule. No comments were received regarding the estimates presented in this Supporting Statement. As a result of the comments recei ved, EPA has streamlined the wayconverters can demonstrate compliance with OBD requirements. Now EPA will be accepting an OBD scan tool report and a statement about the integrityof the OBD sy stem in lieu of OBD test data or a description of an OBD compl iance strategy . This Su pporting Statement reflects that change. 3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection As required bythe Clean Air Act (42 USC 7525(a)), emission information is currently submitted on a y earlybasis coinciding with the manufacturer’s “model y ear.” EPA allows applicants to define their own “model y ear”, thus granting some flexibilityin this regard. Major product changes typicallyoccur at the start of a model y ear. For these reasons, a collection frequencylonger than a model y ear is not normally possible
. However, this rule would replace the annual application process with a one
- time submittal for intermediate age and outside useful life engines , onlyrequiring an end of y ear sales volume submission. In addition manyconversion manu facturers will no longer need to renew their certificate of conformity . Furthermore , if the OEM engine design is “carried over” to a subsequent model y ear, the amount of new information required is substantially reduced.5

3 (e) General Guidelines Accord in g to 40 CFR 86.098
- 7, certification related records must be maintained for eight ye ars. Note that " records may be retained as hard copy

or reduced to microfilm, ADP film, etc., depending on the manufacturer ' s record retention procedure, provided that in every case all the information contained in the hard cop y is retained. " These recordkeeping requirements stem, in large part, from the statutory requirement to warrant some items for long periods of time. In addition, the manufacturers must comply with requirements to recall vehicles and engines failing to meet emission standards during their useful lives. Manufacturers are required to submit confidential business information such as sales projections and certain sensitive technical descriptions (Pleas e see section 4(b)(i) for reference). This information is kept confidential in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act, EPA regulations at 40 CFR Part 2, and class determinations issued by EPA ' s Office of General Counsel. Also, non
- proprietary inf ormation submitted by

manufacturers for certification is held as confidential until the specific vehicle or engine to which it pertains is available for purchase. The non - proprietary

information submitted to support intermediate age and outside useful life submissions may

be made available once the notification has been submitted to EPA. This information collection activitycomplies with the remaining guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.5
. The proposal makes no changes in the reporting and recordkeeping provisions that impact anyof the guidelines for information collections as approved in the ex isting approved collection. 3 (f) Confidentiality Manufacturers are allowed to assert a claim of confidentiality over information provided to EPA. Confidentiality

is prov ided in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act and EP A regulations at 40 CFR Part 2. For further detail, refer to section 3(e). 3(g) Sensitive Questions No sensitive questions are asked in this information collection.

Section 4: Respondent s and Information Requested 4(a) Respondents/ NA IC S Codes Respondents are manufacturers of non
- road engines within the following North American Industry Classification Sy stem (NAICS) codes: 336312 Gasoline Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing6

4 (b) In formation Requested (i) Data items The information and reporting burden associated with this rule occurs within the context of EPA’s motor vehicle and engine certification and compliance program s . Currentlyrequested data items related to heavy
- dutye ngine certification are discussed in detail in ICR 1684.12. Converters seeking certification for engines converted at the beginning of their useful lives are expected to go through current certification procedures. However, under the revised rule, the am ount of information collected from converters will be reduced due to the provision that will allow the grouping of multiple engine families into a larger one. Currently , engine manufacturers and converters must submit one certification application per eng ine family , as currentlydefined in the regulations. Under the revised rule, converters of new and nearlynew engines will be able to obtain one certificate for a group of engine families. Engine families must share certain characteristics before theyca n be combined into a larger family . This provision may reduce converters reporting burden byup to 50%. Converters of intermediate age engines will be able to submit a simplified testing demonstration without the burdens of the formal cer tification appl ication process
. I ntermediate age engine converters will also benefit from not having to paythe certification fee currentlyrequired under the authority of Section 217 of the CAA and the Independent Offices App ropriation Act (31 U.S.C. 9701)
. Converte rs of engines outside their useful life will also benefit from a reduced burden. EPA sought comment from the public on the suitabilityof three proposed options to provide adequate demonstration of compliance. “Option 3” is being finalized which requires an OBD scan tool test procedure report and a detailed technical description of the conversion sy stem sufficient in detail for EPA to confirm the conversion sy stem’s abilityto maintain or improve on emission levels in the converted engine. In general, al l reporting formats will describe the major aspects of the proposed product line, technical details of the emission control sy stems, and the results of any required tests to indicate compliance with the emissions limitations. The following is a list of data items added or revised bythe rule
. As mentioned above, IC R 1864. 12 lists the rest of the data items currentlyrequired for certification and that would applyto converters of new and nearlynew engines apply ing for certificates of conformity
. For all engines :  ex panded conversion engine families  new engine label requirement describin g OEM engine family , mileage, and

date7

For intermediate
- age and outside useful
- life age vehicles (25%)

 online notification and test result report rather than appli cation for certification (savings in “paperwork” burden) or “demonstration” for intermediate age and outside useful life conversions  OBD scan tool report showing results of an OBD scan tool test procedure  A statement that the OBD sy stem remains fully fun ctional in the converted engine.  In termediate age and outside useful life engine families will not be required to paya certification fee. (ii) Respondent Activities While there is no “ typical ” converter respondent, all converters must submit a descri p tion of their product and other information.
. As described in Section 4(b)(i), i n some cases the current application and certification process will be replaced with an alternative , simpler process for intermediate age and outside useful life programs
. Con verters of new and nearlynew engines will carry
- out the same activities as other engine manufacturers currentlyseeking certification. Sectio n 5: The Information Collected

— Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and I nformation Management 5(a) AgencyAc tivities In general , EPA officials carry out the following activities:

 Review and interpret regulations, provide guidance;  Review the applications for completeness and accuracy ;  Verify

that the correct engines have been selected and tested;  Verify

compl iance with applicable provisions;  Request additional information if needed;  Answer questions from manufacturers and the public;  Issue appropriate certificates of conformity , as applicable ;  Periodically

perform maintenance or enhance the database;  Make data av ailable to the public ;  Analyze and manage requests for confidentiality ;  Determining if "carry over" of data from a previous model y ear is appropriate or if n ew testing will be required; and  Store, file and maintain data. 5(b) Collection Methodology an d Management8

EPA currentl y makes extensive use of electronic media in gathering and evaluating information from engine manufacturers. EPA expects to receive the information submitted by converters in electronic format as well. Once the information is received it will be entered into a database and reviewed for completeness. If the manufacturer chooses to make hard cop y submittals, then EPA manually enters the information into the database. The certification reviewer anal ys es the information to ensure compliance with the CAA and applicable regulations. Currently , the public can access non
- confidential portions of the certification applications and test data b y contacting HDNEG or through the Engine Certification Information Center at http://www.epa.gov/otaq/certdata.htm
. Non
- confidential certification information submitted by alternative fuel converters will also be posted at that website. 5 (c) Small Entity

Flexibility Small on
- highway

eng ine manufacturers may use optional procedures outlined in 40 CFR part 86, subpart A t o demonstrate compliance with the general standards and specific emission requirements. These procedures , also available to HD converters, and apply to conversion manufac turers with US sales of fewer than 10,000 units. The alternate procedures reduce small volume conversion manufacturers' burden associated with durability data requirements, testing, determination of deterioration factors and certification test data. Conv erters may also request EPA to assign deterioration factors, thus eliminating the durability testing burden. Small volume conversion manufacturers are also exempt from some reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated to the certification of evapor ative families (86.098
- 14). EPA can also approve a reduction in the certification application fee upon request by the manufacturer. A fee waiver could be granted if: (1) the certificate is to be used to sell engines within the United States; and (2) th e full fee exceeds 1% of the aggregate projected retail sales price of all vehicles covered b y the certificate of conformity. Although this is a provision available to all manufacturers, it is beneficial to some small manufacturers. Section 6(b)(ii) prov ides more details. 5(d) Collection Schedule Collection of certification data (or demonstration data when applicable) on a per engine family basis occurs on occasion. Overall c ollection frequency is largel y determined b y the convert er ' s marketing and p roduct plans. For all age
- based categories, i nformation must be submitted before the start of production For new and nearl y new vehicles, a certificate of conformity

must be obtained before the start of production. M anufacturers submit information , such as an end of ye ar sales report on an annual basis and will submit their applications for certification and intermediate age and outside useful life notifications at their earliest convenience.9

Running change and correction applications will be submitted by manufacturers as the need occurs. Section 6: Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection 6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden (Hours) Since the current process for certifying an engine family will remain basically

unchanged for converted familie s, b urden estimates were taken from the previous supporting statement in this I CR series
. Costs have been updated and reflect the impact of the new, broader definition of engine famil y b y this rule. Tables 1 through 3 summarize the respondents’ overall bur den associated with this I CR. 6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i ) Estimating labor costs To estimate labor costs, EPA used the Bureau of Labor Statistics ' May 2008 industry specific occupational hourly wage estimates for the Motor Veh icle Manufacturing Industry (NAICS 336100 ) . EPA then increased the hourl y wage estimates by a factor of 2.1 to account for benefits and overhead. The specific rates used are listed below. These are mean hourly rates.

(ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs The Operation and Maintenance costs (O&M Costs) in this I CR look somewhat differ ent from those explained in the rule preamble. The l anguage in the preamble considers the costs an individual converter may incur in its effort to obtain exemption from the prohibition on tampering via this regulation
. Since conversion manufacturers can sometimes “carry
- over” test data from one model y ear t o the next, further cost reductions may be achieved
. In this I CR, one time costs such as testing have been annualized. So far, all HD converters are small businesses . EPA believes this will still be the case after this rule is finalized. Small businesse s contract outside laboratories to perform testing. There fore, there are no capital start
- up costs associated with this collection. EPA has estimated that testing at a private facility costs, on average , $ 30 ,0 0 0. Evaporative testing costs, on average , $7,050. Testing cost, however, is a one
- time cost per engine famil y since manufacturers can carry over emissions data from one model year to the next. This cost has been annualized over the approval period requested for this I CR (3 y ears)
. Heav y - D uty

an d Large N onroad CI: $ 10,000 Evaporative testing : $ 2,350 New and nearl y new engines require certificates of conformity and require a fee when submitting an application for a certificate of conformity . This fee is requested under the authority of the CA A Section 217. EPA published a revision to its 2010 schedule of fees in the document CI SD
- 0 9
- 0 5 . The rele vant fees for calendar y ear 2010 are :

Federal Exhaust Certificate: $ 35,967 Evaporative
- onl y: $ 511 The fees rule provides for a reduction i n fee when " the full fee exceeds 1.0 percent of the projected aggregate retail price of all vehicles or engines covered by that certificate " (69 FR 26226, Section F). The reduced fee must not exceed one percent of the aggregate retail price of the vehicle s and engines covered b y the certificate. Since all respondents are small businesses and no laboratories will be built or modified to comply with the new rule, there are no capital start
- up costs associated with this collection. Other O&M Costs associat ed with this information collection include CDs , photocopy ing, postage and other shipping expenses, calls, and testing costs
. C Ds may be used by manufacturers to submit their electronic applications and to keep records. (iii) Start

- up Costs11

Under the new clean alternative fuel conversions rule, converters of i ntermediate
- age and outside
- useful
- life engines will be able to demonstrate compliance with OBD requirements by submitting an OBD scan tool report. Therefore, converters will need to acquire OBD scan tools. EPA has found that most OBD scan tools for HD trucks range vary widel y, depending on the siz e of the vehicle . For smaller trucks (under 14,000 lbs), OBD scan tools range between $90 and $1,000. The less expensive ones are usuall y s pecific t o a particular vehicle make and model. For trucks weighing between 14,001 lbs and 33,000 lbs, OBD scan tools range between $1, 300 and $2,500, but most cost around $1,500. For the largest trucks (over 33,000 lbs), scan tools cost as much as $8,000
. In recent years, EPA has received alternative fuel conversion applications only for truck engines below 14,000 lbs. However, since this rule streamlines and lowers the cost of compl yi ng with the conversion regulations , EPA expects more businesses to venture into clean alternative fuel conversions. Therefore, it is plausible that responders will seek to convert engines for heavier trucks. For the purpose of this I CR, EPA has chosen to use $1,500 as an estimate for a scanning tool. Since all respondents to this collection , especiall y those converting intermediate
age and outside
- useful
- life engines, are expected to be small business with limited production, EPA estimates that respondents will purchase an average of three OBD scan tools in the next three ye ar s. Many OBD scan tools have software specific to a certain range of models and model ye ars. EPA estimates that converters may need to purchase software updates at le ast once in the three
- ye ar period covered by this ICR. The cost of these updates range between $300 and $800. EPA will use the average, $550, to estimate capital costs. Total costs per respondent, annualized over a three y ear period, are: OBD scan tool for HD engines $ 1, 500 Software updates for new models $183 (iv) Annualizing ca

pital costs EPA has used the period covered b y this ICR to annualize the cost of the OBD scan tool and software updates. 6(c) Estimating Agency Burden Table 5 summarize s EPA ' s overall additional burden associated with th e rule
. Table 6 below summar izes EPA ' s labor. These costs are based on 2010 hourl y wage rates obtained from the Office of Personnel Management and adjusted by a factor of 1.6 to account for benefits and overhead.12 Table 6 Agency Labor Costs Occupation Hourly Rate 160% Engineer ( GS - 13/10) $55.46 $88.74 Lawy ers (GS - 13/10) $55.46 $88.74 Managers (GS - 15) $65.23 $104.37 SES - 1 $99.00 $158.40 Senior ( SEE Program ) $13.81 $20.72 (see text below) The salary

of a senior from the Senior Environmental Employ ment (SEE) Program for clerical support is $13.81 per hour plus approximately 150% increase for benefits, for a total of $20.72. EPA also pay s $2,151.83 as an administrative fee to the Senior Services America, Inc., the organization from which EPA’s SEE Employ ees are obta ined. These data were obtained from HDNEG’s financial officer. 6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs Interest in HD conversions has been low in the past. In model y ear 2008, EPA received only seven applications for certific ation from a total of four converters; while in 2009, only three of those converters submitted one application each. EPA understands that this is in part due to converters not submitting an application until they find a market for the engines. The amount of engines in a HD engine family is ty pically lower than the amount of engines in a L D test group. Since the cost of certification is spread over a smaller pool of engines, it is more expensive to certify a HD famil y on a per engine basis. This fact disc ourages man y companies from seeking certification for heav y - duty products. Based on the experience of EPA certification reviewers, the Agency estimates that interest in heav y - dut y conversions certification may double as a result of the rule. This is due t o the ability

to combine engine families into a larger group that could be certified as one family with only one emissions test. EPA estimates that eight converters will seek certification for 12 converted heav y - dut y engine families (under the new, expand ed definition) in the rule. Since the process for demonstrating emission requirements differ depending on the age of the engines being converted, EPA has accounted for each stage separately
. i. New and Nearly New Engine Conversions Converters of new and n earl y new engines must seek full certification. There are three distinct costs these converters will incur.

 Exhaust emissions certification: Table 1 summarizes burden and costs for exhaust certification of these families.13  Evaporative emissions certific ation: Converters will also need to obtain a certificate of conformity

with evaporative emission requirements. Table 2 summarizes costs and burden associated with evaporative certification.  OBD compliance demonstration. Currently , alternative fuel conve rters are required to submit test data to demonstrate compliance with OBD regulations. However, 40 CFR 86.010
- 18(o) provides exemptions for small volume and alternative fueled engines used in applications over 14,000 lbs. All HD converters who have sought EPA certification in recent y ears have been able to claim one of these exemptions. In an effort to also reduce costs for those HD manufacturers who are not able to claim this exemption, EPA is accepting approval issued by either the California Air Res ource Board (CARB) or the EPA L ight
- duty (LD) Certification Program as proof of compliance
. Manufacturers must demonstrate how the OBD s ystem they have designed to comply with California OBD requirements also complies with the intent of federal requirements . So far, HD manufacturers have been able to either claim the exemption or submit approval from CARB or the L D Team. Therefore, EPA does not have historical data to use as basis for OBD demonstrations specifically related to HD conversions. Based on past experience with both HD engine and conversion engine certification, EPA estimates that all converters will be able to use one the provisions described above to avoid the cost of HD OBD compliance through the period covered b y this ICR. The cost of LD OBD compliance demonstration is alread y accounted for in I CR series 783. If we needed to account for these costs now , EPA considers it appropriate to adopt for HD the estimates developed by the LD program described in ICR 783.55 : $26,317.
ii. Intermediate age Engine Conversions Under the final rule, converters of intermediate age engines will be required to gather and submit all required data, including test data. However, the rule does not require EPA to issue a certificate of conformity

for intermediate age engines. Instead, the Agency will collect the data and audit it from time to time. Inaddition, to demonstrate compliance with OBD requirements, converters of intermediate
- age engines will need to submit a print
- out of the OBD scan results (per the procedure already established in 40 CFR 85.2222) and attest that the OBD sy stem remains fully

functional in the converted engine
. EPA will not issue a certificate of conformit y, and fees will not be collected. As a result, the cost of testing for interme diate age engine conversions will be the same as for new and nearl y new engine conversions with the exception of fees and OBD demonstration costs. Table 3 shows these costs and burden. EPA believes that there is little interest in intermediate age engine conversions. Therefore, EPA has estimated that two manufacturers will participate in the intermediate age14

program for one engine family each. iii. Outside

- useful life conversions After careful evaluation of comments received, EPA has decided to adopt Option #3 of the proposed rule for outside useful life conversions. This approach requires manufacturers to submit a technical description of the conversion that provides sufficient detail for EPA to evaluate emissions performance and durability . I n some cases this technical description may need to include emission test data to demonstrate that the conversion s ys tem will not degrade emissions. Conversion manufacturers must also submit an OBD scan tool report. EPA would expect the maximum testing costs for this option to be equivalent to those costs incurred for intermediate age engine s , since conducting all testing required for the intermediate age engine program would be an acceptable demonstratio n of good engineering judgment. Intermediate
- age engine c onversions must also submit an OBD scan tool report. Based on past experience, EPA does not expect to have an y respondents interested in outside
- useful
- life conversions. Therefore, no burden is allocated for these conversions in this ICR. 6(e) Bottom Li ne Burden Hours and Cost (i ) Respondent Tally Table 6 Total Estimated Respondent Burden a nd Cost Summary

6(f) Reasons for change in burden The burden described in this ICR adds to the existing inventoryfor this I CR series. This increase is due to the expected increase in respondents as well as increased capital start - up costs . 6(g) Burden Statement The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is, on average, 197 hours per responde nt (1,578 total hours/8 respondents). Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended bypersons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency
. This includes the time need ed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technologyand sy stems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verify ing information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the exi sting way s to complywith any previouslyapplicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise discl ose the information. An agency maynot conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it display s a currentlyvalid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA ’ s regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9
