Title: Recordkeeping and Reporting 

Requirements for the Fuel Quality 

Regulations for Diesel Fuel Sold in 2001 

and Later Years; for Tax-Exempt (Dyed) 

Highway Diesel Fuel; and for Nonroad, 

Locomotive and Marine Diesel Fuel 

(Renewal). 

Abstract: This renewal includes 

recordkeeping and reporting under two 

existing and related ICRs that will 

expire on September 30, 2004. These are 

the fuel quality regulations for diesel 

fuel sold in 2001 and later years 

(covered by current EPA ICR No. 

1718.04) and the recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements related to taxexempt (dyed) diesel fuel (covered by 

current EPA ICR No. 1718.03). In 

addition, this renewal includes 

recordkeeping and reporting activities 

that would apply for nonroad, 

locomotive, and marine diesel fuel 

through 2007 (covered by proposed EPA 

ICR No. 1718.07). These latter 

requirements were included in the 

renewal in response to OMB comments. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: It is estimated that 

there will be 444,100 reports, 312,233 

burden hours, and total annual costs of 

$28,795,145 (which include labor, 

operations and maintenance [O&M], and 

purchased services). Burden means the 

total time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

information to or for a Federal agency. 

This includes the time needed to review 

instructions; develop, acquire, install, 

and utilize technology and systems for 

the purposes of collecting, validating, 

and verifying information, processing 

and maintaining information, and 

disclosing and providing information; 

adjust the existing ways to comply with 

any previously applicable 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 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Respondents include refiners (both 

domestic and foreign refiners who 

manufacture diesel for use in the U.S.); 

importers of diesel fuel into the U.S.; 

diesel distributors, carriers, wholesale 

purchaser-consumers, and retailers; and 

users of research and development 

diesel (testing laboratories). 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

7,640. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion; 

annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

312,233. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost:

$28,795,145, including $4,200,000 

annualized capital/startup costs, 

$4,300,000 annual O&M costs, and 

$20,295,145 annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

net increase of 239,363 hours in the 

total estimated burden currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is 

due to new requirements for nonroad, 

locomotive and marine diesel fuel.

Title: Emissions Certification and 

Compliance Requirements for Nonroad 

Spark-ignition Engines (Renewal). 

Abstract: This information collection 

is requested under the authority of Title 

II of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 

et seq.). Under this Title, EPA is charged 

with issuing certificates of conformity 

for those engines which comply with 

applicable emission standards. Such a 

certificate must be issued before engines 

may be legally introduced into 

commerce. Certification requirements 

for spark-ignition engines are set forth at 

40 CFR part 90. To apply for a certificate 

of conformity, manufacturers are 

required to submit descriptions of their 

planned production line, including 

detailed descriptions of the emission 

control system, and test data. This 

information is organized by ‘‘engine 

family’’ groups expected to have similar 

emission characteristics. The emission 

values achieved during certification 

testing are used in the Averaging, 

Banking, and Trading (ABT) Program. 

The program allows manufacturers to 

bank credits for engine families that 

emit below the standard and use the 

credits for families that are above the 

standard, or trade banked credits with 

other manufacturers. Participation in 

the ABT program is voluntary. There are 

also recordkeeping and labeling 

requirements. In this notice, former ICR 

1845.03 (‘‘Production Line Testing, Inuse Testing, and Selective Enforcement 

Auditing Reporting and Recordkeeping 

Requirements for Manufacturers of 

Nonroad Spark Ignition Engines At or 

Below 19 Kilowatts,’’ OMB Control 

Number 2060–0427, expiring on 3/31/

2007) is being incorporated into ICR 

1695.08. This action is undertaken to 

consolidate certification and 

compliance information requirements 

for spark-ignition engines below 19 kW 

into one ICR for simplification. Portions 

of former ICR 1897.04 [‘‘Information 

Requirements for Nonroad Diesel 

Engines (Nonroad Large SI Engines and 

Marine Diesel Engines)’’, OMB Control 

Number 2060–0460, expiring on 10/31/

2004] related to certification 

requirements for spark ignition engines 

above 19 kW and spark-ignition 

recreational vehicles are also being 

incorporated into ICR 1695.08. With this 

consolidation, we combine all the 

certification and compliance burden 

associated with the spark-ignition 

engine industry. 

The information is collected for 

compliance purposes by the Engine 

Programs Group, Certification and 

Compliance Division, Office of 

Transportation and Air Quality, Office 

of Air and Radiation. Confidentiality of 

proprietary information is granted in 

accordance with the Freedom of 

Information Act, EPA regulations at 40 

CFR 2, and class determinations issued 

by EPA’s Office of General Counsel. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1,379 per 

respondent. Burden means the total 

time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

information to or for a Federal agency. 

This includes the time needed to review 

instructions; develop, acquire, install, 

and utilize technology and systems for 

the purposes of collecting, validating, 

and verifying information, processing 

and maintaining information, and 

disclosing and providing information; 

adjust the existing ways to comply with 

any previously applicable 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 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Manufacturers of nonroad spark-ignition 

engines and recreational vehicles. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

106. 

Frequency of Response: Annually, 

quarterly and on occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

146,134. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost:

$9,925,673, which includes $0 annual 

capital/startup costs, $1,642,476 

annualized O&M costs, and $8,283,197 

annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 98,398 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is due to (1) 

changes in the estimated number of 

hours that respondents spend carrying 

out each task and (2) the consolidation 

of ICRs 1845.03 and portions of 1897.05 

into this ICR, as explained above . The 

increase in burden is, therefore, due to 

an adjustment to the estimates.
